First allroad - already lightly modified

[Allthea]

Did you ever figure out your interior trim solution? I just replaced the wood trim in mine with piano black if you're looking for a smooth set.

That non-chrome exterior trim looks fantastic...

No on the interior - been busy though the two front door pieces are half wrapped still. I think I really just want brushed aluminum(plain and simple).

Thanks! I am a big fan of it.

Me and you both... this plain grey painted trim bores me haha. But would be easy to wrap.

Do you feel the difference in setting in ADS on your allroad? Also wiondering, I have a little annoying drone cruising at 1800-2000 rpm on hwy after installing Magnaflow catbacks. Everything below and above sounds ok. Also, in the morning on a cold start, the sound inside the car has so deep noise that it hurts my ear but it sounds fine when standing outside. Is this normal?

Thanks

Winter mode - cargo box on and winter wheels on. Also waxed it a few weeks back for winter prep.

Get yourself some sound deadener like Dynamat or Kilmat that is self adhesive. Line the back half of your AR and you'll be amazed at the sound reduction!

It wasn't just sound, it was also vibration but don't want to high jack somebody's thread. I'm back to stock. Those 4 cylinders don't really have good sound like those 6 do.

Yeah I haven't gone that route yet on that upgrade. On my list but not sure I will go there. Other small things I want to do that I keep putting off. Wrap the ext window trim, wrap/replace interior trim pieces, and I still think about painting the plastic cladding black.

I will have to play around with it again between the different modes. Once I enabled it I turned it on so set and forget.

Just added the following - IE Audi B8 & B8.5 A4 & A5 2.0T Cold Air Intake. Not sure yet what my thoughts are on it... today was my 1st day driving with it.

A month back I added the Eurocode HFC.

[alhutch]

Interested to hear if you also got tuned along with the HFC...

Was thinking about possibly getting the IE intake as well... any more thoughts after 1 day? Do they make a cover for it? I don't like the idea of having it exposed, mainly because of inspections in MA

[Allthea]

Weird your picture was not showing up on my computer but now has on my phone. I see yours is uncovered as well

I just am still using the Dinan module as of right now.

No cover for it. Still getting used to it and trying to figure out if I like it or not. I had the Neuspeed intake on my 2014 GTI and liked it. This was seems to be a little too much for me so far. I may try and use my Knock of Go Pro to get some sound Videos if I remember.
The GTI intake I would only hear when I really stomped on it.

This video hits it on the head - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azuPiazlMHc decide for yourself.

[Allthea]

Hm. Not terrible. Does it sound like that from the cabin? It seems like they took engine bay recordings and played them over a video of someone driving the car haha...

I just ordered one (got a deal) but trying to decide if I want to go with an enclosed intake like the ECS or others, or stick with the IE. Or see if I can find some way to make an enclosure...

[chip_]

Removed the IE at the moment to troubleshoot a noise up front/right side I believe. Seems to happen most often on take off. Odd thing is the noise was gone for a while until I washed the car recently. I need to get a recording of it to figure out what it might be.

[Allthea]

Can you describe the noise? Is it like a wobbly wub wub wub wooshy sound? You might be hearing the recirc BPV or the wastegate flutter.

If not... what's it sound like?

Man hard to describe that is why I am trying to catch a video of it.

[chip_]

Sold the IE intake as it just wasn't for me. Interesting how much different this one was from the Neuspeed in the MK6 GTI.

Car in for the recall today and I have a 2018 SQ5 - oh boy do I like it.......nice power, nice interior, etc.

I will be listing my Dinan module for sale soon.

[Zeroed]

How many miles did you have before you went stage 1?

I bought my car used with 64,000 and have around 84,000 on it now.

Got the last piece of brushed alum interior piece to complete the swap. Looks nice!
