thx mate, I'm going to build one myself. my joystick and throttle won't fly around my desk anymore, but there's still my skill issue. so if anyone wants to target practice in DCS on easy mode, find me there.
Oh my bad. It comes with threaded mount holes and a numberplate backing plate that molds into the honeycomb pattern nicely. I just didn't want to show my plate.
Unfortunately not. The harness side is a merge of both FTE and 80 series harnesses. Bit hard to video. Have to get both schematics and work out which wire needs to go where.
Thank you very much!!! Following the advice from one of the comments, I sprayed this button with WD40 from the outside (without taking the machine apart) and so far it works like a charm. While spraying, I held the button down with a screwdriver and had the machine tilted to allow gravity to assist. Again, thank you for a great and detailed video!!!
Hey, I just wanted to ask that is the button still working I only have this option because I live in India and not many people have an espresso machine here so I can’t order the button online
It’s been working perfectly so far. To be clear, before I sprayed WD40, it also worked but I had to press about 3-4 times to activate the grinder. Now it works perfect. Don’t overspray it. Just a few short bursts around the button.
My do chewed the rj12 from my pedals to wheel base, and I spliced them back together thinking it would be fine, but my gas or clutch do not work. Any suggestions?
Start with the basics mate. Grab a multimeter and check continuity of each wire. Also check continuity across the pins as well in case you have a short circuit (two wires touching each other). From doing so you should find your problem. :)
I'm going to install the same grill, so far you have no problems with the ACC? I also plan to use the same bracket and I use the ACC daily. thanks my friend
As he stated if it’s convenient enough you should by from a metal supplier as they can sell you exactly the lengths you need at a cheaper price per meter than Bunnings as it is
hey hows it going. I'm doing the same install on the rs3 grill, i also bought the bracket. can you describe to me me how you lined up the bracket sensors and the bracket adapter? the hole on the original bracket lines up with the original sensor bracket? then how come the new bracket has 4 holes ? if it all lines up ? thx man
I can't remember exactly if there was a small bracket which is removed from the old sensor but basically the bracket relocates the sensor up and back. Once you have it apart you'll see how it mounts.
@@brendonv101 I have a 2018 Audi a3 , I bought the rs3 bumper it comes with a grill with acc from Joon Motorsport in USA Texas , I compared it to your rs3 grill , it looks similar. I’m just worried after spending 2k usd my Audi acc will be defective and I would need to revert back to my old bumper and spend more money to re calibrate and end up at the same spot when I started.
Thanks for the video. I was able to mount my X56 system to my desk. One thing that was different in my setup was my desk has a hollow core as yours appeared to be solid core. Instead of the galvanised steel I used 30mm aluminum (also from Bunnings), as I was conscious of the weight being secured to the hollow core. I used a screw at the front of the desk(where there is a small solid piece of desk) and one in the end of the 30mm section and used Liquid Nails along the entire section. Perfectly strong now with no issues. As such I didnt need to rivet an additional section. To access putting the screws in the 30mm section to the desk, I used a 10mm drill bit on one side which then gave me access to the inside of the square tube where I drilled a pilot hole and countersunk so the screw would be flush inside the square. The 25mm now slides in and out easily with just a little tension to hold it in place.
Ho do you get to the top bellhousing bolts. Putting an FT back in an 80 and its ridiculous. Pulled it off with the head off which made it easy to access the bolts. Complete motor going back in . Effing tight
Sorry bit late to reply but I drop the gearbox crossmember and then go through the shifter hole with about 5 extensions with preferably a friend holding the socket on. Easiest way.
Hi there, my passenger side bang and oulfsen speaker light doesn't work, i think it may have a lose connector. Is it a fairly straight forward connector for the speaker light when taking off the door card
you saved me quite a bit of $$$ with this videoi, thank you! I opted to replace the switch unlike others in the comments that decided to clean their original part. And that brought up a problem, the Defond CPU-1113 you can buy on the market is a self-locking switch. the cpu-1113 that is used in the breville is not. So for now, until I find the right part, I have to push to start and push to stop my grinder as opposed to the self timer it usually have.
I knew this was the problem, having already sprayed switch cleaner into the actuator button and had limited success. But thanks to the knowledge gained for the disassembly method, I was able to get up close and personal with the aerosol spout, meaning it got a thorough soaking. Once all back together, it was singing like a banshee on the button every time. My tip for removing the three screws under the water tank is to use a small self tapper wound into the plug to aid removal, thus eliminating the need to dig all the way round the edge making a mess.
Hey Brendon I’m doing the same thing with my 80 , only difference is my cruise is in the 100 series ecu , still two wires, and my 80 cruise stalk is a 3 wire not a five wire. Any advise on what goes to what and what resistor I need. Cheers.
You'd have to pull up the manual for the ecu cruise control and see what signal it needs. It'll usually tell you the readings it should be in the electrical fault finding section. Then just test your stalk with a multimeter to check which each wire does. Should be on/off, ground and signal for a 3 wire. Might not end up needing any resistors as it should be within your 3 wire stalk.
Great video…. I would have liked to hear what all the torque settings were on the alloy timing belt backing plate etc. Also little hints and tricks with greasing parts and what kind of gasket sealer you should use etc, if you do indeed apply gasket sealer along with the gasket on the water pump, and if you had a recommendation/preference for particular brands. Thanks again 🙏🏼
I'm currently looking into making my own mount set up and this video hits the spot! Advancing the idea a little, I'd like to make the assembly retractable, either by unlocking from the bottom desk and having the controller portion swing and lock into the very back underside of the desk, and relock to hold it in that retracted state. Or more elaborate, using a hydraulic soft close cabinet assembly to retract to the unused underside of the desk. As I'm watching and reading everyone's homemade designs, I believe the hardest achievement I'll encounter is keeping the rigidity in its in-use state. It will require more articulation points. You did an awesome job on this. While the concept is simple, you've made something very effective that doesn't exist in the market even still. There are a couple popping up but they seem to all have traded stability just to slide a couple feet away and still take up productive desk space. Well done!
I'm wondering if you've managed to set this up. I had been thinking along the same lines (but ended up purchasing pre-made Virpil mounts). Would love to see what you managed to do!
Had this issue too, but i'm lazy so I ended up getting my WD40 and spraying the button from the outside. I did it a couple of times and wiped it clean with a paper towel, that seemed to have worked!!!!!!!!!!! Will update if I still run into issues with this method
You sir are a genius! I am glad I saw your comment, BEFORE taking apart. Just like you, I sprayed WD40 right into the button from outside (while having it pressed with a screw driver) and it worked!!!! I did tilt the machine while spraying to allow gravity to assist. Hoping it will last. Thanks!!!
Thank you I did this and it worked 🎉 I sprayed the switch from the outside, tried it after 15 mins but it still didn’t work. So I sprayed liberally again while pressing the switch in and out. Tried after about 2 hours and it worked. Maybe it took some time for the wd40 to do its magic. Thanks again for the tip!
Nice and instructive video mate! Question, how much does the awning weights? It seem pretty solid constructed. I’m looking for an awning like that but I want to get one not too heavy. Thanks!
Hi Brendon, appreciation for this post. I've checked anything and everything i could on my cruise control a few years back and gave up as i couldn't get speed being sensed. Think this video has revealed the missing piece... The entire speed sensor! Seems like the speedo cable must have been replaced with a non cruise control one so there's no facility to deliver speed reading to ECU. I had figured it must be taking a reading from the instrument cluster somehow after the gauge... Now it makes sense why i could never find info about how that works. Time to try track down the right Speedo cable. Cheers for giving me a next step after years!
Hey man! I have another issue. Don't know if you'll have any tips. I can try and send you a video. But my machine works fine. The button, grinder etc.. But i can't change the grind setting from single to double or visa versa. The grinder only starts when i hold down the grinder button that you worked on here. So i need to hold down the button. And weirdly everytime i restart/power on the machine, the grind settings switch from single to double and visa versa. All the buttons works fine. I think it might be something in the computer side that's bugged
This sounds like a faulty one, you might be best off seeing if you can warranty the device. Here are some tips: Reset the Machine: Sometimes, electronic devices benefit from a simple reset. Turn off the machine, unplug it from the power source, wait for a few minutes, and then plug it back in. This might resolve temporary glitches in the system. Check for Obstructions: Ensure that there's nothing blocking the button or the grinder mechanism. Sometimes, small particles of coffee or debris can interfere with the functionality of the buttons. Clean the Grinder: Regular cleaning of the grinder is essential for its proper functioning. Coffee oils and small particles can clog the grinder over time, potentially leading to issues. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning. Inspect the Button Mechanism: Since the issue involves needing to hold down the button, there might be a mechanical issue with the button itself. If you're comfortable doing so, carefully inspect the button mechanism for any signs of wear or damage.
Fairly good instructions, but would be better if you showed removing the screw in the back under the plastic plug and also that you have to open that plastic box under the grinder to unplug the old switch and plug in the new one. You skipped over some important steps. However, I was able to figure it out and the new switch is working. Thanks.
I thought the same, but have suggested winding in a small self tapper into the middle of the hole plugs to aid removal without the need to start digging all the way round them first.
Hello, nice video! I have just a couple of questions. Did you disconnect both battery poles before start this process? And also, after repositioning the ACC radar with the new bracket, did you get any radar error warnings on the dashboard? thanks in advance
I just put the same grille on as in the video but didn’t move the Radar up as I did not have the bracket available yet. The radar sits too low but everything works fine. No acc errors in any form yet. It doesn’t look good but it does work without problems
I love the g2 i have a varjo aero aswell ,Try playing mxbikes with the g2 its crazy the jumps are insane just take sea sick pills first the sickness is extreme the first time.
