AMG Week

Short Week this week, nice to have a couple of AMG Mercedes come through the doors.  The coupe hasn’t seen many km’s over the last few years, so we did our part to help get the rego back on track, while the C55 got a fresh set of front brakes and the LiquiMoly service treatment.

Audi RS2 parts find

Who would have thought replacing a cambelt could have been such an issue…  This very rare ‘prototype’ RS2 needed a cambelt,  as it turns out the cambelt was near impossible to locate through all the usual options we have.  Even the dealer has this part as NLA (no longer available), and this was the common response we got when shopping.

We did manage some parts, for example the waterpump, however when this arrived this too was incorrect, having a different sized drive pulley.

With some help from the owner who has club and forum contacts we found a small dealer in Germany that specialises and we’ve had our kit turn  up today!!!

Engine ADU

Head stamped 0000007, very early production and very rare car.

Headlight Refurbish

When you get told the replacement lights are $2400+gst each its time to think outside the box.

These lights would not pass a WOF and I thought were not able to be salvaged, but we gave them a go anyway, Very happy with the result as is the customer!!!
