Mine was the starter motor Visibly around the electrics it started to melt the plastic Bosch replacement starter fitted and starts immediately everytime

Great thread and read :icon thumright: Where are we getting this copy of ETKA chaps?

How the colour match? Yeah they’re the identical brand and part I’d post photos but on my phone atm Lothian is very good value for money

Sorry to hear, but as you say think of the upside. You'll have a freshly painted frontend and be better off by the end of it! BTW. The exact Wings Lothian supply you can buy in primer from Eurocarparts for £39 each. I've bought wings from Lothian painted a pair and was extremely happy with...

Yes it's 16mm. I've just done this myself the other night. We cut the ring end of a 16mm spanner off and used the open end and a pipe over the other end to slip the spanner onto the but and be able to get the access and leverage without having to strip any other parts or move the frontend into...

https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/419573/ Ignore the warning light I got. That was fuse misplaced. See the link to the thread and if you have VCDS it's a breeze to retrofit with genuine Kufatec cables. Highly recommend ordering them directly from their site. Worth the bit extra

I say that as someone with Micheline PS4's on his Avant. And having not long ago fitted a pair of new cheap crap tyres to the rear of a Quattro I was selling and twice had the rear end step out on me because of how bad the grip was on them. Absolute trash. And that was a Quattro!

Most people have zero issue buying a second hand set of alloy wheels and don't replace the tyres before fitting them to their own car. There's little to no difference in doing the same but just keeping your own wheels. Personally in that situation I'd prefer secondhand Michelins than brand...

It's Nappa not Valcona. Valcona is the standard leather. Proper awesome. Love my Black Interior :icon thumright:

I have this interior in my own Avant. It's softer nappa leather and much nicer than the standard Special Edition Leather (or optional leather on S-Lines) I'm big fan of it and it transforms the interior to be completely black too which I love Is this going into a saloon or avant?

Sorry to hear that @Donfero but glad you're ok. Sad about the car but it can be replaced. Hope you're well otherwise buddy

It's possible on the B7. There was a chap on here who done it Here's his thread https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/help-a4-b7-tpms-tyre-pressure-monitoring-retrofit-issues.393802/

They all suffer Oil pump issues in one way or another. As @B7Tourer as said avoid BLB. It was perhaps the worst. My original B7 was BLB and had to have the oil pump modification done and came with very expensive invoice to fix it. Since then, I have personally put a BRE into an originally BRD...

They've completely overdone it now. I know sites cost money to run. I run them myself. But the number of ads is completely excessive and off putting. It's too much

Front end off the car is the best way for B7 This is way mechanic done engine replacement for me on a TDI.
