Recently been getting vag com fault code 17963 "Charge Pressure - Maximum Limit Exceeded", so today fitted a replacement N75 valve, having read a few posts on this fault code I'm hoping this will solve my intermittent lack of boost. ;)

Matt black rings on the back now and also located the hole in the boot where I managed to shear off the ground point for the haldex ground lead which I found missing when changing my wheels over a few weeks back.
Another job to sort out over the coming days!!!!

Yesterday I finally got round to taking the front and rear seats out so I could give the carpets a bit of a clean and clear out any bits and pieces that may have accumulated over the years. Along the way found a few more missing or broken bits of trim, so something else to sort out as and when I find the parts :(
Have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the overall condition, just have to tackle the cleaning of the seats to see if I can get them looking a bit better than they are at the moment.
Now that I have the data sheet that my local Audi dealer gave me from the VIN number, I know for sure that the interior colour is feather grey (JQ) which will probably come in handy later.
Also found my xenon headlight range control module :yes:

Some pics after giving the carpet a good vac and cleaning up the bit of black underlay under the rear seat backs, also took the opportunity to remove the two supports with the black pads on and clean out the debris caught between them and the centre tunnel.

Having sheared off the haldex ground lead point on the body I managed to get the new ground lead fitted today. Started off by cleaning up both sides of the body where the old ground point was and putting a bolt in it's place.

I've never been that happy with the sound from the alpine head unit that was fitted to my tt when I got the car and the cd changer didn't work with this HU fitted either, I have got the original chorus radio/tape player but it had seen better days, so I have been on the look out for an OEM concert radio/cd player.
Finally took the plunge and got a concert HU and went about removing the numerous wires and connectors that are needed to connect an after market HU to the OEM connectors. With the OEM HU fitted the Bose sound is so much better and all the speakers are working which I don't think they were before and I now have a functioning cd changer, happy days :) :) :)
