After three A4s and a multiple of DIY easy bulb replacements, I went to replace taillight bulb the other day on the A3. Dash warning says REAR RIGHT LIGHT BULB. All bulbs in both the inner and outer cluster are working: indicator works reverse bulb works fog bulb works brake bulb works But...

Since getting the B7 A4 I always hankered after the black grille to replace the standard chrome one. I thought they would be a bit expensive but they are only 130 pounds from the dealer and come complete with 4 rings and S-Line badge. That’s a good price for a body part that transforms the...

I finally got a couple of days to give my car a proper going-over. The weather held out over the weekend with only a couple of minor rain breaks. I didn’t have time to try and get before pics of swirls on silver in the daylight – not the easiest thing to do. Megs polishing pad and Menzerna 3.02...

I have added to another member's thread re paintwork warranty issues. We seem to be getting told things that are contradictory policies. Can other members please have a look at this thread and offer some advice on how we might best approach the matter. The thread is located here...

Finally moved from B6 to B7. 2005, 35K MILES, AKOYA SILVER. Will carry out a full 2 day rotary machining job on the paint around Easter time to bring it fully to life. Until then it looks like this:

I picked up my 2005 A4 saloon yesterday and while driving home noticed that the ECON light stays permanently on even when you try to turn it off so that the air con can function. Set the temp to 'LO' and the air blows colder but not ICY cold. Can anyone tell me what is causing the ECON light...

Apart from being told by people in two dealership service depts that the above update was a recall enhancement, can anyone tell me a bit more. I know it's got something to do with exhaust gas recirculation, but can anyone shed some more light. Thanks:icon_thumright:

Hi folks, I should be collecting this car on late Friday afternoon (20th Feb) and was wondering if anyone in the above areas know the people who previously owned the car? 35K ON CLOCK, 05 PLATE. OWNER 1 - Derek Munro from INVERNESS OWNER 2 - John Sinclair from WICK (on plate number G3...

This car belongs to a friend who had recently bought it after owning a black one. There were some aspects of the paintwork that he wasn't too happy with. Kitchen scourers and wire sponges had been the previous owner's tools of choice for removing bird droppings. Even some of the glass had...

I hope someone can shed some light on my driver's door problem that occured today. 2002 A4 SALOON. I completely lowered the driver's door window. When I went to put the window back up it wouldn't go. I can't make use of the passenger window from any interior switch either. So, my driver window...

Having experienced dry-out problems during the week on the S3, it was nice to get the chance to use the cracking Menzerna 3.02 again with smooth pad glide across every panel on this car. Worked well, this polish finishes down really glossy ready for final protection. This was a real joy to work...

A stunning car in a cracking colour. This car had clearly been well looked after and believe it or not it is washed with a traditional sponge, with the help of the owner’s daughter! I initially thought that I would turn the halogens on and expect to find swirling around the filament in the...

While most of the UK was basking in cool temperatures and heavy rain, I spent the last week having a relaxing break from it all in Lochgoilhead, Argyllshire. The weather was warm and mostly sunny. This place has special memories for me dating back 26 years. Our school had a cottage there and...

The intention here was to spend around 5 hours bringing about some improvements on this one. A quirky little car but an awesome performer which I got the chance to experience from the passenger seat! 500bhp per tonne with brain suck-out occurring when the induction kicks in!!!! Priority was...

Instead of doing an individual write-up on each of these cars, I thought a wee summary would be better. Starting off with my own A4 (6 years old). It last had protection applied about 9 months ago (Zymol Glasur). It hasn’t been clayed in that time either and probably should have been on this...

Well, I had to leave the Exige house and go back to the Cayman and Boxster house. Except the Cayman has now gone and in its place is this brand new twin-turbo 335d. Dealership did minimal work on the paint as requested and there were only a few minor swirls on the areas that had strong sunlight...

Background Following the Cayman and Boxster neighbourhood details for Davy and Jan, their neighbour initially wanted his Lotus Elise de-swirled. However, he traded it in and got the Exige to add that little bit extra to Knockhill track days. The car was bought from an Edinburgh dealership...

Back in November, I carried out a 2-day detail on the Man of the House’s 2006 Cayman. This time, it was the turn of the 2005 Boxster belonging to the Lady of the House. This started off badly as I had left my new camera in Glasgow after a night out. So, no pics of the car before the wash...
