What have you done to your A4 b6 today?

[mattiekane]

A few reason up-to an including been bored of it, one of the longest I've owned a car, well second longest, nearly 18months now

 

[DrStrange]

Fantastic work Neil!!

Purchased a set of original Audi wheels over the weekend at an excellent price.

They are 19'' Audi Segment wheels. Or RS6 Tri spoke wheels as they are known in our circles.

They feel considerably lighter than the 20'' Reps of the same wheel I have currently. Going to put these on in winter and maybe forever.

Full specs;

19x9j Audi Segment ET 33 (perfect poke)

Painted the inside lip? of the front wings.. Small amounts of rust again.
This time with silver Hammerite.. Not exactly same colour but better than brown
Especially with the new wheels being ET 48 the "lip" is more visible

 

[Adamwagg]

Rocker cover gasket replacement and I painted my engine cover

 

[Wahlstrom]

Bought new Magnetti Marelli rear lights and replaced them.. Hoping now moisture won't enter them... If so, I'll return them and buy originals..
Just thinking originals are Magnetti Marelli with an Audi stamp??

Italian car electronics what possibly go wrong!

Haha.. Yeah.. What brand do Audi use.. Have been through almost all well renown brand including Bosch..
All have had moisture in between the "glass" after rain or wash...
Can't be that it just have to be that way!!?

Dont know about you boys, but after im finished gutting my exhaust..it will sound like a real V10 R8 screamer!



NOT! haha.

 

[Wahlstrom]

Tried to figure out how to change the rear door lock actuator..
Found a video on YouTube saying it's necessary to remove the window trim/surrounding before it's possible to remove it??
Anyone tried removing it?
The reason is this sound which has been there for a while, but now I want to fix it

 

[neil ratcliffe]

iam sorry to say yes you do have to remove the window frame to change it.

 

[Wahlstrom]

Yikes... Is it a difficult job? Anything to be aware of?

 

[neil ratcliffe]

its not very difficult just ned to be carefull cause it has got the glass and the windon mecanisum al in one. just take your time and all should be ok.

 

[jamesv6tdi]

Just clocked 184k today still going strong,also treated the old girl to a new needle lift sensor which has made a noticeable difference in performance and mpg thank god!

 

[neil ratcliffe]

just though i would add this little lot. ive fitted the areo wipers. ive got a water bottle ready for the headlamp wash, got a headlamp wash motor too. and a replacement amp for the rear sub. fitted new spark plugs, someone had fitted new coil packs so saved me a bit of money, also fitted new screws for the coil pack wiring harness.

****** Hell Neil, you're on a roll mate! Top work.

 

[neil ratcliffe]

thanks mate more bits arived today. all will be reveiled over the weekend.

 

[Welshquattro]

Some hard work been put in there Neil, will be watching out for the reveal with interest

 

[neil ratcliffe]

thanks mate arfter the weekend she will look abit diffrent.

 

[Wahlstrom]

Started my sound deadening project with the bonnet:
Oem removed, stp black magic and stp hoodliner added, oem back on to cover the poor finish

Leftovers were used under the engine cover...

 

[Wahlstrom]

Doing the doors next combined with changing the two front woofers, and the rear left door lock...
Lots of potential in the doors as they are bare metal besides the thin foam cover between door and door card..

My plan with the doors is :
Stp black magic (2.2mm) on the inside of the outside door panel
Stp anticor light instead of the oem foam
If possible oem foam on top of the anticor
Stp biplast 5mm foam on the inside of the door card..

On all four doors

Should be a noticeable difference

Collected from the body shop with my new s4 bumper on!

 

[neil ratcliffe]

hi folks just got the new and clean bolts and screws togther. and a new lower tray fitting kit, and a pair of headlight lower mounts as the previous owners havent been very carefull and both are broken, so these bits are ready for the weekend.

 

[Teh]

Nice work @Wahlstrom, and @neil ratcliffe lookins like a busy weekend!

I just had my service and MOT today, passed! Nearly failed on emissions until they got it up to temp..

Advisories:

Non-standard cat found.
Non-standard exhaust found.
Exhaust noisy.

 

[neil ratcliffe]

thanks mate. and well done on the mot pass, wont be changing my cat. but will at a later stage fit a 1.8 turbo system, but thats futher plans.

 

[chasdrury]

Also had the front bumper sprayed and some other work done (new wings) sides sprayed etc... Looking good now!

 

[neil ratcliffe]

hi freinds, done a bit to the audi, not as much as i would have liked. anyhowe i ve removed all the wheels, and the rear wheel arch liners. and the under tray on the os of the rear bumper. so then come to remove the bumper only to find she has had a bit of a prang in its previous life, so getting that straight and getting everything to fit propally took longer than i was hoping, as ive only manged to fit the rear bumper just got to fit the 2 small brackets that suppport the lower half of the bumper, also rain stopped play. sorry didnt get much done, but hope tomorow will be dry.

 

[Wahlstrom]

@neil ratcliffe
With all the inside out you should deadening the floor!

 

[Wahlstrom]

Did the passenger side today and changed the woofer..

But I'm not sure I connected it correctly! I had the cross the wires inside the speaker with thar om mind thar the green/blue one is + and the brown/blue one is -
But looking at the wiring diagram it seems they are connected in parallel.. If you know what I mean...?

Here are some pictures of today's work:
