RMH in Parow. I think the DPF was already blocked and affecting performance when I did the EGR. Now it feels very sweet

No idea. Only had it half a day. However I did check if any visible fumes when flooring it from a robot and nothing.

Try reversing into the garage.

If one's aircon starts acting up on an older Audi (mine is an A3 2010 model year) is it fine to take it straight to a good car aircon place? My normal mechanics referred me to a place in Montague Gardens, but it's a bit far for me so I am going to find something closer to home (Stellenbosch).

Not in a hurry just yet, it's just making weird noises now and again. Or am I better off just getting it serviced and checked out before it gets worse?

edit: A couple of aircon places were recomended to me by my regular workshop and by a friend, I am going to wait to see if the issue persists or gets worse.

A huge amount of work and a highly skilled guy but that illustrates the power of 3D printing in plastic and metal, especially metal because making all those casting via traditional methods would have been impossible.

Great watch.
