    Brake pads change at Audi or independently?

    My brake pad light has come in telling me to get them replaced. Until now I have been doing the yearly servicing at Audi dealer but to save some cash thinking of using an independent garage. I'm not sure what are the costs involved in servicing brakes and how much I can save going elsewhere...

    255/35 r19 tyres with spacers

    I need to fit 4 new tyres and wanted to go for the 255 width to give me more rim protection. I'm cuerently have 10mm spaces front and back with 245 tyres. Does anyone know if there will be any rubbing issues with 10mm spacers and 255 tyres? I've read some have been running 15mm spacers with 245...

    Replacement front bumper costs and options

    Some time ago I sustained some damage to the front bumper but I managed to live with it. More recently I sustained some damage to the RS style grille. Now I'm thinking of getting it all fixed and was considering various options but would like your opinion and estimated costs. When I had the RS...

    Roof bars for Audi A4 Avant

    I would highly recommend Yakima Whispbar. The black one look super cool on dark cars.

    Winter wheels for B9 S Line?

    17inch wheels will fit on the 2017 B9 A4. I got the genuine winter wheels from a B8. The offset is different but use 10mm spacers with them that I normally run with my summer wheels and that corrects the offset virtually to what it should be in the B9. 17inch wheels do not look great on an A4...

    Tyre with rim protection?

    I will need to change tyres soon on 19" rims. Does anyone know which tyre gives the most rim protection for 19' rims. I find the little bit of rubber sticking out the side of tyre too flimsy and ineffective. Are there any tyres that bulge out past the rim? Will going for wider tyre achieve this?

    OBDEleven and autohold

    Do you need the handbrake hold while still reversing or at the end of parking when you turn your engine off? If it is at the end then you can code with obdeleven to automatically put the handbrake on when putting into P or turning engine off.

    DVD screens stop DAB radio

    Never knew about this issue. The screens are connected directly into the socket so there is no adapter in between like eg the usb adapter. I presume the whole power lead will need to be replaced. However I rotated the plug a little bit inside the socket and it seem to have improved things. Will...

    DVD screens stop DAB radio

    I've been having this issue with the radio dropping reception, mmi saying unavailable. Some days it happens a few times for few seconds before it comes back and on some days it's mostly the whole time. It seems that it's only the DAB radio that is affected and not the FM. I was initially...

    S4 bumper radar grills

    It would be easier to unclip from the inside but first you have to get inside which takes some work. I try to get a picture taken. The quality is what I would have expected from audi original. Mine are made from the gloss plastic like the made RS grille.

    S4 bumper radar grills

    You don't needs to take the bumper off. However they are not the easiest to remove. I used soft plastic trim removal tools. Start from the end closest to middle of bumper and then top and bottom. It's good to have 2 or 3 of the tools so that if you undo one clip you can leave that tool there and...

    S4 bumper radar grills

    I saw them on Aliexpress. I cannot post a link as I was using the app but 4 sellers had them. Cheapest for £72. I was looking at getting them before but they only seem to sell them in the matt black plastic rather than gloss so I went with the ones that have radars in them as they were all...
