Hi all, my daily driver is an Audi A5 Quattro TDI slightly leaned on, giving just over 300hp with 500nm torque, plenty quick enough for me and relatively economic and very comfortable.

Hi Pinky,
Why not just rewire the existing light switch through a VWBeetle or similar headlamp relay, then you flasher switch becomes a dip switch when on headlights ?

There is a company in Wales called speedycables, they will convert your tachometer to electronic and keep the original look.

I know I am a bit late adding to this thread but please don't forget that the US spec. head has different port spacing to the UK type so PI inlet manifolds will not fit.

I used a VW Beetle ( old style ) headlamp relay in place of the foot dip switch wiring you will need to disconnect the existing blue?white flasher wire from the flasher switch and earth it. I have described this before, it works well and gives headlamp dip and alternately main beam when lights are on and flash only when lights are off.
If you need further help please let me know.

I am looking to put a red stripe on the sidewall of my tyres as the car originally had Goodyear red stripe fitted. I saw on Wheeler Dealers last year they had them done for one of thier cars by, I believe, a company in Essex. I know Mr Whitewall in Staffordshire can do them but i am looking for someone closer to home ( Sussex ). Can anyone help please ??

Hi Jochems,
I am a bit late answering but i have a pedestal with the gears and coupling with a metering unit.
Do you still need one ?
Also I said I would update you on my efi conversion, from US spec Carbs to unleaded CP head with throttle bodies etc. CP cam. what an improvement ! worked pretty much out of the box with preloaded TR CP mapping only problem was poor plugs. full details if you are interested.
Regards.

Hi John, thanks for the comment, however, I do not find the search engine to be very helpful, maybe its me, but the thread it took me too was about general wiring discrepancies not dipswitch relevant. Have I missed something here ?
Regards.

Please forgive me if this topic has already been posted, I don't have time ( Im lazy really ) to read through them all.
If like me you hate the inconvenient at best and downright dangerous at worst, foot dip switch, here is a solution which I much prefer.
Remove said dip switch. Transfer the three wires to a VW Beetle / T2 Van etc. Headlamp relay, available new on flea bay or VW garages
Blue to relay term. 56, Blue/White to term. 56a, Blue/Red to term. 56b. This leaves two terminals, 30 and S, 30 needs a new wire run up to the purple feed for the existing headlamp flasher Brown wire, which should be disconnected, as should the existing Blue/White wire from the switch. The brown wire from the switch should now be extended and taken to a suitable earth point and a new wire run from the Blue/White wire from the switch down to the relay term. S
The relay should be secured to the scuttle or side panel. I used a Mehle relay which has a small spring clip and I used this to clip the relay on to the cable sucuring tab that is convenientlylocated above the old dip switch.
This clever little relay now works as follows :- lights off or in sidelights only, any pull on the flasher switch does just that. Headlights switched on, each successive pull on the flasher switch alternates between main and dip, Your foot is now free to oparate the clutch when required without dazzling the unfortunate who happens round the corner during your gearchange.
I hope this is clear, if you are interested and have any questions I will try to help.

Thank you Berry and John. just what I need.

Thank you for the heads up Alan. This will probably bring shrieks of condemnation, but mine had slack anyway so would have needed a new shaft, so I put four welds two either side of the fork, no slack now and yes I realise that to do any future work will require cutting the shaft.
