Here I’ll have your regular dose of car and cycling content. Some product reviews, some diy and how to videos also. You’ll see a lot of my Audi A6 Quattro and Punto HGT here. Please do subscribe to help my channel grow.
I have both of these but took the light off because it seemed to not fit the Element roam well. It locked in but caused some damage to the body of the light(scratches) and it seems to get stuck a few times. Is this Normal or do i need a adaptor to hook the light and the wahoo together?
Ah no way not another one 😭 first project 40 now you as well.... I might have to start a channel just to keep the hgt spirit alive 😆 I liked your videos especially because mine is the same colour as yours
How do you find the oil? I was going to switch over but with all those silly oil wear tests on youtube im not sure, its also designed for left hand drive windscreen.
I’ve used Moly in all of my cars since about 2006 after a recommendation from Mercedes master tech I know. I’ve used moly in my 2 E36 M3’s an E46 M3 a Mazda 3 MPS a Mk5 GTI a Celica VVTLi an Audi A3 2.0 TDI the A6 v6 TDI , the Punto HGT as well as a few others. I’ve tracked the 3 BMW M3’s and had zero issues. The engines run smooth and quiet all the time. The only cars I’ve owned during that time that I haven’t used Moly in were an EK9 type a DC2 type R and an R32 GTR. I used Motul in those as I was part of a group buy and got a good deal. motul is brilliant oil but very expensive here in Ireland. Moly is just as good but more affordable.
Would you add the mos2 liqui moly to the 4200 top tec as well? I want to put it in my audi a5 2.0tdi, I feel the service/mechanics use the cheapest oil they can find maybe I'm wrong.. I first saw the mos2 additive and I bought some and I'm seeing a whole lineup of liqui moly online lately. You would recommend then ya? Is it ok to add the mos2 as well to the moly oil? Cheers for reply👍🏻
@@6900pilot I’d have no worries putting the correct grade Moly in any car. Check what the manufacturer recommends in your handbook and go buy the correct grade Moly for your A5. Your car will run fine on it. 👍
Glad you posted this Joe, just dropped the ARB off mine and was wondering how to get the inner brackets off. How do you find the purple bushes on the road? I've got to decide which colour bushes to team up with an Ultra Racing 24mm ARB (didnt even know these existed 'til a few weeks back), and hope I can widen the hole nice and cleanly. 😅
The Purple feel great on the road. I live in an area with plenty of speed bumps and ramps so I was hoping they wouldn’t be too harsh but they really are fine. You only realise the benefit of them when you start to push on a bit. The front of the car feels so much more direct and responsive. The brace would help a lot in that regard too. I still have the rear beam bushings to fit I just haven’t gotten round to it. Waiting on the front part of the exhaust as my flexi is toast and leaking.
@@Quattro_Joe cheers for the feedback! I've ended up ordering the black ARB bushes so I'll see how they are. I'm planning purple everywhere else and have the rear beam bushes done already. It was definitely a noticeable improvement when they went on! Good luck with the exhaust!
@@hgtabarth cheers. I’m really looking forward to getting the rear beam done. The exhaust I’ll get done in winter. BUT!! I have been toying with the idea of a turbo. Still just doing research and seeing how much it’ll cost and how difficult it would be to map. But I’ll do my research and take it from there
@@Quattro_Joe Hi Joe, thought I'd replied to this a while back but it mustn't of liked the link I put in haha. I think there was a guy called Iceman or similar from the Netherlands that had a turbo'd one back in the day. If you Google Iceman Punto Turbo a Guy Croft thread link should pop up...however reading through that now it may have just been NA! 😅 There was a guy thinking about going turbo, eying up a Bravo exhaust manifold at one point as it went 4 straight down to 1 so maybe worth looking into, fabricating one might actually be easier than finding one now though?! Another lad I've met from Stafford has a Euro 2 HGT he imported from Japan recently, that's been converted to standalone management. Could ask him if he minds chatting with you about it. Meanwhile I successfully did 2 laps at Anglesey last month before my engine started rattling like 💩, combined with a lightly battered drivers side my Punto motivation is exceptionally low at the moment. 😆
There’s a button/latch on either side of the cartridge that the net is stored in. Just push that and you can remove it altogether and your A6 is now a van
@@Quattro_Joe Thanks but my one actually only slides off, no push buttons on each side, managed today only. Pish button one is just for the boot cover, net cover is separate and slides off to right side but both seats need be down 🙂 Thanks for trying to help, much appreciated.
Same slime appeared with mobil oil. Has something to do with cold starts and the oil cap/tube is far away from heat and condensates that slime. Nothing wrong with headgasket.
Thanks very much. I’ve been a bit busy lately and haven’t been able to make a video but I’ve plenty of stuff lined up soon and I’m hoping to go back to the ring in August all going well.
So I’ve basically said “When the light came out of the box the adapter was screwed into the top and bottom holes. I removed these screws,turned the adapter, put the screws in the left and right holes which now enables me to use the Wahoo with any additional parts 👍. I think I’ll Do a follow up video soon
How you doing RU-vid won’t allow me to add a link here. Not sure why but if you go type 4h-tech into a web search it’s the top page pal. Then just find the one for your car and order away 👍
I have the same Wahoo and FR160. You are not using the proper Wahoo adapter that comes separately the FR160, which is why it doesn't click in nicely, why you have a round scratch on the top of the Raveman caused by rubbing against the Wahoo, and why the two aren't lined up correctly in the same direction. That's exactly how my FR160/Wahoo pair looked before I swapped the proper Wahoo mounts, which you can buy for $3 from Raveman (part no. QTM01). The Garmin and Wahoo mounting systems look similar in design which can be deceiving. They are different in that the Garmin mounting points are much shallower, which is why you will find yourself having to jam the Wahoo computer and twist it HARD just to get it to engage. You're also risking eventually snapping off the mounting bracket on the bottom of your Wahoo, which would be bad
It fits fine on it. I see what you mean about the mark on the light but I can live with that. It’s not very hard to fit of and 5000km later it hasn’t budged either with a need to buy any different bracket. There’s zero chance of the wahoo mount snapping I don’t need to force it at all to fit it
Brings back memories. When Corona hits I drove a stock 1.2 8v Punto facelift on the Nordschleife for 100+ laps for 2 years. It helped a lot to learn the track in and out and drive it cleaner as there was way less traffic. I always said if it breaks it breaks but it never did. Was absolutely sending it. Engine was very reliable. Sold it end of 2022 and got something faster.
100 + laps in a Punto. That’s commendable sir. I bet you know the track very well after that. I’ve got some more mods to go on which should improve my track driving experience. I’ll be at Mondello park this summer to get a little better at track driving
@@Quattro_Joe It did indeed helped learn the track more. I knew the track only from games. I knew where to go but in games the elevation and many blind crest you don't have in games. Driving with such a slow car speeds like that helped a lot. Like getting used to the g forced and elevation. Helped me to drive cleaner. In 2023 I mostly only drove in the wet and spectated more. When the track is dry the traffic is way to much. Mods should help like coilovers, good tires etc for the punto. Never drove Mondello but you are from the UK right? You got many amazing tracks over there that are perfect for the punto. Don't sleep on them. I am planning on building a tracktool around july if I have time. Then also visit many UK tracks.
@@fabz_______1242 I’m not from the UK I’m from Ireland. Try not to confuse the 2 😂😂. I felt o was able to enjoy my drive more due to the car being relatively slow. If I’d had an M3 or R32 skyline both of which I’ve previously owned, then the lap Would’ve been a bit scarier.
@@Quattro_Joe Oh I thought you are from England mb 😂 Actually my favorite rally driver comes from Ireland. Love Irish Rallying. Yeah but with a slow car on the nordschleife and in the summer there are so many cars that you can't really drive a clean line because you constantly getting overtaken by porsche and bmw's and have to move over. Only way you could get lucky to get a more free track is when you are there at 8 am when the track opens or drive a trackday. Something around atleast 180 hp will be better with a full track setup.
Just picked up a C7.5. Great little guide, thank you. How can turn the radio off but still listen to the satnav? Drove me nuts yesterday trying to get out of a city centre
I would if the money was right. I’ve done a lot of work to it since I got it. Have a look through the videos and see what you think. I have a figure in my head as to what it’s worth so maybe we can come to a deal. I’ve also a few parts here I haven’t fitted that will go With the car should I sell it
@@Quattro_Joe Yeah I’ve seen the videos i never really drove the car and neither did the guy i bought it from we both just had it in the shed for years
@@Johnyyryan123 I use it on the weekends and did that road trip to Germany. Brilliant little car. It needed a few things when I got it but it’s running like a dream now. Where are you living.
I absolutely agree. Im 15k or 12 months for any daily driver religiously. 5k intervals for a car you might track occasionally as well as change all the other fluids every year. Boiling brake fluid is no fun 🤣🤣
