I cant get in for a recharge until the 21st, booooooo I miss my car and want to drive it. think maybe ill do the lights while I wait.
also still waiting on ac lines for my sc kit. :
ironed out the kinks with the rubbing, I did an old school fender roll with a baseball bat on the front and the rears was the inner fender liner, the noise cancelling stuff. it was about an inch away from the metal, not sure why. it looks like it could use a couple of clips or something. what I did is heat it up with a heat gun and bend back away from the wheel as much as possible. no more rubbing!
had a rattle in the back that was bothering me so I went through every bolt to make sure everything was tight, everything was good so I just started grabbing things and seeing if anything was loose. turns out it was the e brake cable rattling on a heat shield. it must have popped out of its clip when I lowered the rear subframe. popped it back in and all is well in my universe again.
Man…You are ballsy!!!
why don’t you just go to London or Hamilton Audi?
Shocking that your dealer has to wait 2 weeks. That sounds bogus. They’re too busy putting winters on for people?
I can guarantee if I called Oakville Audi, I’d have an appointment within 3 days.
Or h2sport in Georgetown? I think that’s an indy with a reasonable rep?
-
doubtful they’d have the ability to recharge a DRC system that comes in only a handful of cars in the province
-
Aren’t they out of business?
Whoops. But seriously don’t go to Dalmar in London. Oakville sounds like a good choice.
that’s exactly what it is. they have mountains of tires there. theyre gonna call me if anyone cancels. and they are the only audi vw dealer in a large area
honestly I cant drive it that far. its ridiculous. once it starts bouncing it has nothing to slow it down. ive driven it only a few blocks. plus with the alignment off I don’t wanna burn up the front tires.
^^ hilarious.
got my tracking number for the sc kit. its on its way, im getting excited. my birthday is on Saturday so its kind of fitting and would be awesome if it showed up on Friday.
all my parts are here but apparently i need a power of attorney sheet to fill out and send to fedex before i can get my parts??? have no idea what this means but im sure it will cost me more money.
Yeah it’s just to authorize them to clear customs on your behalf for a large order. The annoying part is that you have to fax it.
They’re pretty quick. If you do it as soon as possible in the morning you should be able to have it go out to wherever you normally pick it up by the evening.
If you can’t find the sheet, call them up. They can email it to you.
Happy birthday. Custom forms suck but they are easy to full out once you have done it a few times. Mistro is right they are quick once you send them the paper work.
Happy birthday, my bday today (15th) too
thanks guys, they sent me the forms I filled them out and they let me scan them and email them back so hopefully I get my stuff tomorrow.
finally got the paperwork sorted, I never have a smooth process when shipping, oh well. theyre sending it to the depot closest to me now where I have to pay the import fees and taxes which btw are $1641.00 fuck sakes.
I think next time I have a big order I may just go get it myself for the 2k it cost in shipping and taxes I could go down there and have a little vaycay and buy some new parts.
WTF! That’s insane!
That’s crazy. You hate to see that much in taxes and fees. I guess it’s good jhm has the prices they have. It cuts back on the impact of stuff like that.
And that is how I didn’t pay tax on my exhaust. “Vacation gift”
