Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Hi All,
Had the D4 console out recently and installed a carbon fibre patterned vinyl wrap on the gear selector surround, park brake switch and all 4 face vents.
The vents were interesting in that you remove the duct and flapper unit from the rear of the assy but the shiny duct ring detatches and comes off from the front.
I've had insulation tape on the vents almost since I got the vehicle.
This will beat dropping my hat on the surround again.
We'll see how durable it is.

thinking to change to a 3l
I notice that some have no gear shifter stick
does this mean, either that shifting in command shift, is by paddles, or is there no command shift option 2013 0n d4?

Wikicamps app could be useful, there may be Stations you could stay at. Also Youcamp...

8 sp have the knob. 6sp have the gear stick. I think, but the 8sp have steering wheel paddles. This will need to be confirmed

And the 6 speed can have them retrofitted with a simple ecu flash and the hardware.

ok, cos I wouldna like to be up the creek with no paddles

Apparently these are now unobtanium, and I got sick of not being able to adjust the lumbar supports in the D3.

Typical crap thin plastic always cracks.


Used Kapton tape (doesn't stretch and has a high thermal tolerance). The Kapton holds it together and does a credible job of mechanical support. Backed up with glue-lined heatshrink.


Done.


I did one because I'd "mis-placed" the second. The first one has held up ok, so I thought I'd take some pics of the second one. Don't know how they'll go long term, but for now they seem to hold up.
