Hi, did you find the number for this as I was thinking of changing mine - 2013 model

Thank you for your reply. You was right, I took the bulb out and it was like this (notice the cloudy yellow part at the top) Fitted some new Osram night breakers and switched on fine thank God. I’ll test them properly in the dark

So my bulb warning light came on for main dipped beam right. I ordered a ballast from Amazon (realised not original) and it worked and the bulb came on. However it was a very pink colour compared to other side. I managed to source an original ballast and swapped it over and now the bulb...

Well took it for a drive today and couldn’t hear a single creak when turning or the normal creaks it started to do all of a sudden. There is a small creak when going over a speed bump very slowly but that’s been there for a while. Wonder if the silicone spray kwik fit did and what I did...

I decided to spray some silicone spray on the steering column behind the brake pedal turning the steering while doing this. Not sure if I’m being too optimistic and without going for a test drive tomorrow but the creek when turning the steering right to left especially the left has gone or very...

Yes, even standstill turning the steering it makes the creeking noise. Is it something easy to repair myself or for a mechanic only?

So this weekend, my rs4 b8 started to develop a right creak when turning the steering more notcieable mainly towards the left at slow speeds; braking slowly I.e going over a speed bump. At faster speeds, it’s not as noticeable but is there but during slow speeds, it’s like opening a rusty door...

Yep - was broken wire after all that. Wish I checked that first but who was to know. Soldered and now working

I’m going to try another actuator to rule out a fault with the previous one. Even though the window switches and door switch works from inside, could it still be wiring. I’ll have a look as well anyways?

Update: okay so I’ve managed to get key to lock doors remotely but the one I bought (used) isn’t working either. Is it my luck that this doesn’t work either or am I missing something totally?

So I’ve had an issue with the driver door not locking with remote key fob. I’ve purchased a new door lock actuator and just in process of switching them over. I’m a little confused because when I plug the new one in or even just plug in the old one, the key won’t lock the car. However when it...

Hi all, so my rear tail gate boot struts seem to be failing - when I open the boot (automatic) after a few seconds, it starts to slowly just close on itself on its own. Some days it’s okay but now recently doing it all the time. so the question is how do I replace the struts with it being...

So this is a first… when starting the car this morning and driving off, I had this message appear do not exceed 6000rpm. I was driving fine not reving as I always let the car warm up etc. a restart kf a scan read A camshaft position slow response bank 1. I reset the codes and went for a...

Update: turns out it was drivers side bulb. Strange as last time this went out a year ago, it gave me a bulb out error but this time it just said adaptive malfunction anyways headlight out, replaced bulb, cleared code via Carista app and so far so good. Let’s see how long the bulb lasts this...

See image for info. This bulb comes on (or should) at night when you turn the steering accordingly. I know it’s not the bulbs as I’ve had a warning before saying cornering bulb out so I know it’s not that.
