I don't have midget hands. Ha ha. I just like how they look as much as anything

Hi everyone I'm looking to get a set of paddle shift extenders for my b8.5 s4. All the ones I can find seem to be the wrong shape fitment for my paddles. I'm guessing they changed them between b8 and b8.5. Heres a pic of the standard ones. Anyone know of any that fit these. Be great if you...

So you can fit drive select option onto a car that didn't have it to start with? Surely half of the stuff in it wouldn't work as the car wasn't built with the relevant things in it?

Looking through the instructions am i right in thinking if you do it right you shouldn't get any error messages and then need a VCDS thing to clear them? It reads that way from what i can tell. Obviously there is always the chance of an error but the process seems fairly straight forward and i...

Wicked. Thanks both. Very helpful. Will go and check this out.

Hi I need to get my MMI firmware and maps updated as they're really out of date and also the DAB keepings cutting in and out constantly which, having read around, might be partly down to the MMI firmware needing an update. I just wondered if anyone has used the site below to buy an updated MMI...

thanks. maybe i was looking at the wrong thing that as what i was looking at went under the caliper. not near the top.

I thought B8.5s only had sensors on the front drivers side? Or do they have them on the rears as well? The rear pads are also full mind so it's not down to them being worn if there is a rear sensor. when i looked the other day i couldn't actually figure out how to undo the connector thats...

Thanks. Will have it looked at as it sounds like it should be fairly easy to sort with either a new wire or a bit of fiddling about.

Yeah. weirdly it seems to be triggered if you go over a big bump. The car is due a DSG service anyway so once lockdown is lifted i will be getting that done and will get them to look at the fault code for this when they do as i don't have a code reader device yet. all i know is its annoying ha ha

This is the dash warning that i get. Given it says pads i'm assuming it's the sensor being weird as the pads have loads on them. Unless this means something else? Any suggestions as to whether this would be the sensor causing this? Thanks Paul. Will bare that in mind if i end up having to do...

well i've waggled the wire about a bit but not driven anywhere since. Am due to go to the super market shortly so if it comes on will take a picture. The words definitely say brake pads though. but the symbol is green. Pics to follow.... the rear pads are full as well.

great thanks. i will have a look later on then as it's annoying it coming on every time I drive. it might well jsut be the connector but i will take a look and see. Thanks :-)

Hi I have a question in relation to the brake sensor on my b8.5 S4. The green light comes on, usually after going over a big bump or in the wet, when driving. The pads have got about 70% left on them. I've checked. Now I know the sensor is on drivers side front and is just a piece of wire...

No drive select unfortunately...... but thanks. That's great. Will pull it and see what it sounds like. I'm just interested to know how much sound it pumps into the inside of the car really. I don't dislike how it sounds now but want to see what it sounds like without it in.
