    Default great pic

    I would have to agree about the orange caddy standing out.. Saw one here in Cairns but it didn't look anywhere near as good as yours mate.... maybe I should send pics of my caddy to the magazine...

    Latest news on my Caddy time...
    I reflashed with the Oettinger program a couple of months ago, The fuel consumption has improved markably and the extra 23 kws means there is next to no low down lag.
    I had a few quiet minutes late today and gave it its 30,000 service. I then decided to give it a Wynns enviroclean intake clean. This is done with the intake pipe removed from the throttle body, motor running and you spray this latest product into the manifold. WOW!!! Made it heaps smoother and a lot more responsive down low.
    I couldnt believe the difference it made on my way home, almost as noticeable as the actual reflash. Its gotta be the quickest Caddy TDI down here now.
    Cheers, Andrew

    yeah? this stuff works Andrew?
    mine blows a lot of soot and it has double the mileage of yours. My air cleaner (a BMC CDA) could be a bit dirty too...
    Go APR!!

    It has definately made a huge difference Lams, thoroughly reccomend getting it done. Some other manufacturers have had major dramas with inlet manifolds choking up.
    Wynns in Tassie decided to "guinnea pig" this product and sourced the kits from Europe. The kit comes with an attachment for the aerosol can and it features 3 tiny holes that spray the mix into the manifold.
    The rest of the Aussie Wynns dealers would have these nowadays. The kit comes with a can of EGR3 and also a bottle of "High Pressure 3 for the fuel tank. This stuff cleans the direct rail deisel injectors.
    Try it, I am sure you would notice a difference, mine was blowing deisel smoke when manovoering in my steep driveway. Havent looked yet to see if that has stopped.

    Maybe you should like the rear with red (or some other colour) velvet and turn it into a REAL SHAGGIN WAGGIN......*tongue planted firmly in cheek* *L* I may put a little insulation in the roof of my maxi and cover it with carpet, also down the sides to cover the holes in the panels. But of course I will probably use a plain old grey *same colour as my hair*... .

    Hey mate, it has rear mudflaps and I think if it had fronts, they might rub on the ground.
    Cheers, Andrew
    I had my seats stripped and remoulded the same as my old Recaros.
    They now are great.
