    Fog lamp bulb replacements

    A quick update for anyone interested: my bright white DRLs and headlights are now matched by my front fogs. I went for these and I'm very happy with them.

    Fog lamp bulb replacements

    Hi all A little advice, please. I'd like to replace the halogen fog lights on the front of my 2014 A5 Sportback. It's the black edition with LED running lights and Xenon headlamps, so the fog lamps look very mismatched. This thread is for the 2007 model - will mine be the same (ie H11)? And...

    A5 OBD 2 After a stage 1 remap

    What NHN is saying is that an OBD2 dongle would make adjustments to the fuelling and other functions of what it presumes is a standard (stock) engine. As it would actually be adjusting an engine with different settings to what it's designed for, you really would be asking for trouble.

    New model v old

    I have a facelift version of the previous model (2014 sportback, 2.0TFSI quattro), remapped by AmD to c300bhp. I'm very happy with it but being a typical bloke, I've started looking at the newer model. If you made the switch, what benefits did you see? And were there any backward steps - what...

    Black badges on a black edition?

    I have a moonlight blue black edition sportback. I chose it partly because I'm not a fan of chrome on cars (ETTO and all that). So I dislike the only chrome on the car, which are the front and rear Audi badges. I'd get the rear replaced by a bodywork specialist (I'm too cack-handed to lever...

    Alloy wheel refurb recommendation

    A quick shout out for A1 alloys in Bromley: A1 Alloys They do a two-day turnaround, can fit you in with about seven to ten days' notice and most importantly, do a good job. I took them my 19" rotors and asked them to powder coat both the titanium and diamond cut areas. The previous owner used...

    Dealer wont budge on Price (£24k) - what can i ask for instead ?

    I may have missed your deadline but... I never negotiate on anything based on opinion. Use evidence. Go in armed with ten or so ads from Autotrader or Pistonheads showing similar cars for less money. Also show the salesman cars for a little more money with much lower mileage or much cheaper...

    New here - question about comfort windows

    Hi. Great forum - I've already learned loads. Thank you! My new-to-me 2014 Black Edition Sportback has the 2.0TFSI that I've already taken to AMD at Thurrock. So pleased with it, but that's for another thread. My old Mk5 Golf GTI had comfort windows which I discovered could be modified via...
