First job in the garage!

The first day of December! Weather has taken a turn and there doesn't seem to be a lot of heat in the sun.
The new wall as seen in the picture (although a couple of courses higher now) has come to a standstill due to lock down restrictions. Hopefully to resume in the new year.
But for now we have cleared out some space and got the Audi in there, ready and waiting for some work to be done on it. Plus we have a heating solution to combat the cold so its full steam ahead for fixing stuff.

I plan to make a start with the Audi, diagnosing which pipe has burst and then getting to the bottom of why it keeps over boosting. A couple of things to look at, which could be classified as common faults. The first being the Variable Vanes inside the Turbo, they can stick due to a carbon build up and cause the aforementioned problem. Secondly there is a valve that controls the Variable Vanes, this gets its signal from the ECU and alters the Vanes as and when the engine requires more or less boost.
So plenty of things to keep us busy on that car. We also have a chainsaw and strimmer in for repairs and then a rotavator to get running.

The Hobbits little Panda is sitting patiently waiting its turn, its coming in for a bit of an overhaul of the brakes and suspension, so there is that to look forward to.

And then we have the faithful old Gang mower! I'm going to hopefully do some kind of working restoration on that. Don't want to do it to concours levels as its a working machine.

Hopefully in amongst that little lot there will be something that will keep you all entertained.

Until the next Blog, take care & Bye for now.
