    Q5 Q5 Standard audio

    Since owning Audi's I have always (by luck rather than request) ended up with the upgraded audio systems. All have been Bose so far. This time I have a Q5 on the way but just realised it will have the standard audio system rather than the upgrade. The only car I have had recently that had...

    B9 S4 Info Thread

    Looks like my dream of the RS4 has died a death due to going to my daughters college and finding how much the residential charges are, so now I am looking at the S4 Avant. You have to weigh the dealer discounts overall rather than the OTRP. I am currently in a Q7 that ended up costing me close...

    Anyone used Kamikaze collection?

    I have used a few of their products. The Miyabi is good, but I would say no better than the Gyeon or Gtech products or many of the other ceramic type coatings. The Artificial Clear coat was a very, very expensive mistake. I have never seen a good review other than the one on the vendor site. I...

    Best sealants.

    Hi. Is the profile pic your current car?. For sealants that are not the ceramic type that have to be applied very carefully and if you make a mistake such as spots of overly thick runs etc, you have to machine polish them off. Ceramics are also best applied under cover and you need to keep them...

    Bonded contaminants help!

    In theory the ceramic coating should be solvent proof once cured. As long as it not the PTFE type like Autoglym EPG or Wolfs Body Wrap type that are not as resiliant. You should be okay using any non abrasive solution. If it is sap or pollen, I would try a mix of 50% water and Isotope. White...

    The next RS4

    I am thinking about my next car in early 2017 and fancy an RS4 but not sure of the likely pricing. Is the RS4 likely to be a sub £55k car? I am not sure what the B8s were when new. It will be an Avant.

    Iron X alternative

    I have used it and posted my review on Amazon. Compared to Dragons Breath, Korosol and AF Iron Out it is pretty poor. I bought 15 litres for £40 and it will pobably be as effective of 2 litres of the more well known makes.

    Spider Anarchid Tuning Box

    I would like a tuning box for my 2015 Q7 (old model). My initial request for another tuning box was offered but needed to be fitted a long way from home. My only off the peg type box seems to be the Anarchic box from Spider tuning, but I have not seen any reviews on self fitted ones. Anyone got...

    Sim Card Stuck

    I have tried 3 different vacuum cleaners with absolutely no luck. Apart from using something with glue, I cant see any way of grasping the sim. If I remove the whole module, can it be stripped down?

    What wax for your white cars??

    As has been said; Carlack or Autofinesse acrylic kits will give a truly "sharp" finish to white and are easy to top up and keep looking great. However a good wax like Autofinesse Spirit will give you a "wetter" look. Some of the favourites at the moment seem to be FK1000, Colinite 845 and...

    Sim Card Stuck

    I have used the wrong sized sim in my 2014 Q7 MMI slot. Any ideas of how to remove the cover as there seems to be no way of getting the sim back out.....

    Q7 Sim Card Stcuk

    Stupidly attempted to put the wrong sized SIM in the Q7 dash slot. I now can not get it out. I have used a vacuum cleaner and tweezers but no luck at all. Any ideas?

    Q7 MMI (Bose and Blutooth)

    On my Q7 (2014) can I have the work phone connected for calls and an Iphone for streaming? Not sure if 2 can be active on the Audi system.
