I can't directly answer your question. Few points for you -did you notice if the passenger window switch was still illuminated? Age of these cars now it's very common for wire breakage between the door and the body. Check the wiring loom inside the shielding by the door hinge. You'll find around...

jaluc61: thanks for that. It was so long ago. Just an eBay special, nothing exotic. There's how-to's on YouTube as to how to remove the trim, though it's only the headlight control dial that's anything close to tricky. Take your time and pay attention to the direction of the 'grain' (well, print...

Stoneofmoo: no lady owners with long nails...! DickyNI: right here. Only a few quid.

Wrap the trim parts in carbon effect wrap. I did mine around 7 years ago. Also, swap the ciggy lighter (with the cigarette symbol; nobody smoke fags any more) for the modern 12v plug. Not bad for a 20 year old interior. Just two easy & cheap ideas!

Is is dry underneath your battery, no water sloshing around the firewall where the battery/ECU/ brake servo sit?

Yeah, air hammer got it out easy. There is indeed an indent at the bottom that a needle can go up into. What a pig to get past the pinch bolt thinking that's the job as good as done, only to get stuck on popping the joint. The new arm didn't want to press in to the knuckle either, but got it done.

Just wondering if anyone has any tips on getting the ball joint out of the knuckle? Pinch bolt is out, luckily they had been out prior. Front upper ball joint just falls out, lovely. Rear upper will not pop. I've mashed the boot with a pinch fork, smashed a chisel into the slit, tried a pry...

It is plug & play. No calibration. I've done it twice in around 100k miles on my BEX. Low latency just means you're using a non-genuine VCDS cable into VCDS Lite. That message won't effect your car or it's fault(s) in any way.

It's the charcoal cannister/filter.

Here's a pic of mine with the wing off (ECU under he tray as you know). Not sure it's going to help you or not....

This BB doesn't get the traffic it used to and we all know why -fewer B6's on the road, many have moved on as the platform ages, mileage and age on cars increases and values drop. Most all questions and problems long ago addressed and solved. My car is probably worth £1100. I consider that...

Hey -do your 20mm spacers rub on the arch? Didn't put anything on the front?

I'm looking to install 10" mm spacers front and 15mm rear on my 2004 A4 1.8T Sport. 5 X 112 -easy 57.1 cb -easy spigot length -drama My spigots are measuring a good 15mm, which apparently is too big for hubcentric spacers below that size. So I guess on the rear I am OK with 15" spacers but...

I recently used: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143788413896 The panels fit very well and once installed alongside the rest of the car it's quite amazing to consider them next to paint that's 17 years old. The colour match is insane. Mail them first and they'll make sure you get the cabro variant.

...and just to be clear: the regass doesn't include the lubricant for your compressor. Your compressor has it's own sump which you need to add the PAG oil into before installation (by simply pouring it into the compressor port). From memory it's a relatively small amount 100ml maybe. Some...
