    I couldn’t help myself…

    I’ve been so much happier with my B7 since upgrading the horrid cloth interior to the silver/black Special Edition leather interior. It’s made the whole driving experience feel much more premium, but there was always a part of me that wanted to upgrade again to the even nicer Valcona leather...

    Stage 1 remap finally booked!

    Afternoon chaps, Got my 2.0 TDI 140 booked in for a remap at a trusted local tuner of mine on Friday! Should see approximately 170bhp and 390nm after the map, which will be a nice boost! Looking forward to some extra ponies!

    Cluster Needles - Potential Upgrade

    Hi all, In my journey so far to make the cluster in my B7 a little more modern, I've replaced the gauge fascia with the newer one in the Exeo, which made a really good difference. I've always wanted to replace the needles in the cluster as they look very basic compared to the more modern Audi...

    New Head Unit Installed!

    Afternoon chaps, Got the new head unit installed after work yesterday, very happy with how it turned out! All my previous touch screen head units have had glossy displays, but I really like that Sony managed to keep the higher quality capacitive screen and add an anti glare coating in the...

    Microphone install location

    Hi all, Hoping to get my new head unit fitted early next week. I never ran a microphone for my previous head unit, but think I would like to this time to use Siri on CarPlay and make/receive calls if necessary. Where have you guys run the microphone to? Ideally want to run it somewhere...

    Sold Selling Sony Touchscreen Head Unit (Android Auto/Apple CarPlay) for A4 B7

    Hi all, Purchased a new head unit for the B7, which should arrive Friday, so looking to sell my current one. Thought I'd list it here before I put it on eBay. The unit is a Sony XAV-AX5650, a fantastic radio that has a very minimalistic clean design and looks almost OEM. Fits the B7 A4...

    Genuine S4 mirrors, any interest here before I put them on eBay?

    Hi all, I purchased a pair of Genuine Audi S4 mirrors last year with the intention of fitting them to my B7, but never got round to doing it. Finances are tight at the minute, and rather than them sitting in the cupboard gathering dust I thought I'd put them up for sale. They're genuine Audi...

    Project Audi complete!

    Hi all, I'm delighted to say my B7 came home last weekend after being with @NHN for a couple of months to have various jobs done to it. As some of you may have seen, I got the dreaded oil pressure warning light just before Christmas (thanks B7...): I was skeptical of whether it genuinely...

    Low oil pressure, gutted

    Well it’s been a c**p month so far, and the Audi has decided to make it worse… Had to run it for a minute or so to get somewhere safe which is less than ideal. Hopefully damage is minimal if the oil pressure is actually low and it’s not just the sensor. Knowing my luck it will be the pump...

    Ordered an FIS Control

    Hi all, I've wanted to install a boost gauge into the B7 since I got it, however I've never been a fan of vent mounted gauges when I've done it in the past as it never looks OEM, and cowling/pillar mounted gauges don't suit the B7 vibe in my opinion. My ideal solution is always to have it...

    Ceramic coating results

    Hi all, Last weekend I applied two coats of CQuartz Lite ceramic coating to the A4. Not the quickest of jobs to do, as the paint has to be thoroughly decontaminated (and ideally machine polished too) before application. Luckily I had a good 5 days of decent weather without rain, as the coating...

    Sill plates - same between Saloon and Avant?

    Hi all, Looking to replace the sill plates on my Saloon as they are a bit scuffed. Are they the same part for both Avant and Saloon, or do they have different part numbers?

    Do all B7's have an oil level sensor?

    Hi all, I was wondering if there is a way to tell if my S-Line has an oil level sensor? I never let it get to the point where it would come on, and to be honest it barely uses a drop of oil between services and have never had to top it up, but it got me wondering if they were standard fitment...

    Knocking/clunking from front suspension when going over bumps

    Hi chaps, Since I got my current saloon, it's always had a faint knocking noise coming from the front suspension when going over bumps, or rough pieces of road. I had the anti-roll bar drop links replaced a while back, and that didn't seem to cure it. I asked my mechanic to take a look at it...

    Xenon bulbs - Colour temperature

    Hi chaps, I'm looking to get a new set of bulbs for my soon to be retrofitted xenon headlights. I've been having a look at various different colour temperature bulbs, and this is the exact look I'm after: To me, this looks like a 4300k bulb, what do you guys think? It's the exact look I'd...

    Reverse camera for saloon

    I'm interested in fitting a reverse camera to my saloon. I have a head unit that supports it, and it's all wired up to detect when the car is put into reverse, I just need to actually install the camera and get the wire run through the car. What is the best camera mounting solution for the...

    Thank you @NHN

    Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Nigel (@NHN) for the fantastic work he did on my B7 today sorting out the wiring for the washer fluid level indicator as well as fitting my new puddle lit door cards. :smiley: Couldn't be happier with his work. Fantastic knowledge and attention to...

    Genuine Audi Rubber Mats

    Hi all, Does anyone know where I can get hold of a set of new/used genuine Audi rubber mats for my B7 saloon? They look like this: Would also be interested in purchasing a set from a fellow forum member if anyone has a set they want to sell!

    Removing chrome on grill

    Hi all :happy: I've never been too keen on the standard s-line dark gray the grille is painted in. It doesn't match the black fog light surrounds, and I think it looks out of place: On the special editions with the black optic pack, the grille has a gloss black surround, but more importantly...
