    Cam belt change costs?

    My 2.8Q is due for the first cam belt change, about to hit 60k and 8 years old. The garage I normally get it serviced at (independent, but not an audi specialist) has quoted £452, including the tensioners etc, as well as the water pump. Does that sound reasonable, bearing in mind it's the...

    Replace headlight on facelifted A4?

    One of the headlights on my facelifted 99 A4 has gone, it's the dipped one, can anyone confirm if it's a xenon headlight? And if so how much would a new bulb cost and how easy is it to fit it myself? Thanks

    Car pulling to right?

    My '99 A4 occasionally pulls to the right as I'm braking at low speed. It doesn't happen when braking at speed, only when the speed drops down to about 20mph whilst I'm braking, and even then 90% of the time it's ok. It's probably just the tracking but could it be something more serious like the...
