Yeah the abs light was on but I have now replaced the pump and the light is off but there is still an fault some wear as the instruments still say abs fault, Plus with my VCDS program on laptop I still can't access the abs control module, Just says mode not supported witch am unsure if its genuinely not supported or faulty and just says it's not supported.   

I think I have the most weard list of fault codes now that I have VCDS (VAG-COM) 

Turns out my abs control module is busted too :(  Bosch 0 273 004 284 

Brake light works but says switch is faulty, Am 100% sure its related to control module on abs pump

I think I was after perfection a bit to much because its only when you're up close to it that you see the imperfections. 

I got bigger problems now anyway :(

You would have to sand it down smooth first and fill in any gaps . Prep is more important then spraying :) 

What was the paint you used ?

Some type of stone chip matt black paint that has a paint nozzle like tin of wd-40, Stuff was $h1t to use

My hat off to you Craig for challenging this job yourself :) 

Thanks Steve :) 

Front bumper was pebble dashed to hell so some stone chip paint was required. 

Am not amused with the paint finish it's very orange peally and has the runs :( 

At least it's better than before

Cheers guys, The alloy will be tossed away now.

The spare 5th alloy from my Audi A8, The amazing thing is it still holds air no problem. 

But do you think its a fixable fix or not. 

A sure its fudged beyond fixing.

Not the first rat style I've seen and not the last either :/ 

Just a few issues to sort still, Brake wear sensor is dominating everything and abs light is on all the time and ball joints need replacing.

Cheers Steve :D 

Got the sat nav sorted, Turns out the battery was causing issues and crashing the sat nav system so I swapped it for a 075 battery just for the now untill I can get another 095 type battery for it.  

Full leathers with sat nav, Electric everything, Can't seem to find heated seat buttons tho but it has everything else fitted to it. 

Sat nav system keeps crashing tho, Still has old 2000/2001 map hard disk in it

I thought I've sell these as a joke since some one else is doing same on e-bay for £2.5k

Cool :) 

Just bought this for £400 with broken gearbox.


Filled the gearbox from the trans cooler as the sump plug was rusted solid. 


Buy one of these for filling gearboxes they really work a treat. I used Dexron 2 atm fluid, Seems to run fine on 13 liters  

Bought an audi a8 1998 V8 quattro.
