mickster Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Have you got a link for the auto headlight switch? And is it a bugger getting the sensor somewhere it can see daylight as that's what has put me off doing it! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 use the light sensor from a mk4 golf climatronic unit. if you find one from a lupo you will already have it installed tastefully in factory plastic. as for Goodridge hoses, the lines are stainless, the ends aren't. In a few years you will be wishing that you had bought some Hel ones instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody makes a kit for the allroad  but goodridge did a special order from etka drawings and have made the fittings from stainless. Have you ever worked on an allroad? If so can I quiz you please?

Rich Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 yes front vent, fortunately that bit it is not lhd or rhd specific. Alvaro has one on his car. isn't an allroad just a quattro platform? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Alvaro? I'll have to see how it's wired. Yeh basically it's an a6 Quattro with air suspension, I need to replace the auxiliary fan, the 210mm one, and it's a pain in the arse by the looks of things. The n/s/f suspension bag wasn't to bad to change though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 sounds like you're going to have to strip the front off if you can't play the wiggle game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 just be methodical, take the wheels off and filter the coolant back in. if you're lucky it will be sunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 It's just the air con fan, no coolant hoses  the fan literally fixes to the back of the rad I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
