Today we were presented with a 2002 Seat Ibiza which required autowindows and a flip style remote/keyblade
Here is the original Seat Key
here is the new key (which is far more attractive) which has a 3 button remote – the 3rd button unlocks the boot
The customer was on his way back to Portsmouth within 20 minutes
another happy customer!
We were presented with a MK4 Golf TDi which needed a key to be programmed to the car
We were able to extract the SKC and program the new key and remote within minutes
Another happy customer!
It is amazing how much time in our cars we spend holding the steering wheel and looking at the dash clocks. Infact these two components are the most important components in our vehicles and how they look and feel will affect our driving experience
Today we travelled to Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire and we were greeted to a lovely example of a MK4 PD150 GT TDI
Our customer purchased a replacement set of clocks which happened to be from a Bora Sport and the much sought after Full Screen (FIS) variants which needed to replace his current set of FIS (non sport) clocks
The FIS panel had started to fade at random times which made looking at the multifunction computer impossible – on some occasions, the customer advised that the top half was completley faded. We took a few pictures (above) however the fading was not as bad as it has been in the past
The new clocks were installed within 20 minutes. We also enabled miles to empty, lit pointers and autowindows
Another happy customer!
Yesterday we were called to assist in programming a Convenience module to an Audi A4.
The customer was having issues with the alarm going off at random times as well as his instrument cluster giving him the wrong information as to which door was open
The convenience module was replaced as the original one become damaged due to water corrosion
We programmed the new module as well as enabling a few extras
Another happy customer!
Today we have been tinkering with some clocks acquired from a Passat B5. These have been test fitted in our test vehicle (MK4 Golf)
The speedo needle needs recalibrating however these are ready to rock and roll!
Notice that the trip computer has a slightly larger font.
The Passat cluster also has a distinct buzzer and chime
these will be installed with custom glass and foils!
Today we swapped the instrument cluster on a mk1 Audi TT 225
The MK1 TT is renowned for having weird and wonderful issues with the instrument dials failing. Infact there is known issue with this and so long as you have full Audi service history, the dealers will swap these as part of a recall (see TT Owners Club forum for more info)
In this particular case, the fuel gauge was not functioning causing issues with fault codes and the vehicle did not have full Audi service history
The customer purchased a brand new set of clocks from Audi however he was not prepared to pay 3 hours labour (at dealers rates thats almost the price of the clocks)
We had the clocks swapped over using the much helpful Ross Tech procedure and within 25 mins we had the trim off, clocks in and programmed
apologies for the rather dull picture but or customer was in a bit of a rush as he had to shoot back home to Southend!
Unfortunatley a substansial amount of trim needs to be removed (and put back together!) to get to the TT clocks!!
another happy customer!
Today we supplied & fitted a some half screen Bora sport clocks in a Golf.
The customer was in Kingston, Surrey
Clocks were reset to 0 miles prior to installation and the SKC was ready to be initiated with VCDS
Being an IMMO3 car, the installation process can be long winded
We had the clocks in and car running in under 10 minutes
we also activated autowindows, miles to empty and lit pointers
Another happy customer!
