    Drivers side vanity mirror

    Hi all, 2006 B7 S Line, Not that I would use it as such, but just seeing if I have a fault. When I slide the mirror cover on the drivers sun visor, no light comes on. On the passenger side it does light up. Do I have an issue? Or maybe the drivers visor doesn't illuminate?

    Water ingress prone areas?

    Hi all, Just wondering, does B7 saloon suffer from common water ingress anywhere? I mean, like prone places to check / seal up etc? I don't have any water getting in that I know of, but would like to hear of any prone areas so I can have a look. I'm not seeing any water build up in the B7...

    Good cheap scanner?

    Hi all, I have a B7 Sline, a B5.5 Passat and a mk4 Golf. Is there a half decent scanner out there for sensible money that works well on VAG stuff? It's only for occasional random scans and finding codes if there are any EML's etc... Just something to keep handy in the garage really, nothing...

    Disabling headlight washers

    Hi all, Wondering if this is simple to do, but can I easily disable my headlight washers on my 56 plate B7 S Line? It has the factory xenon light pack, hence the washers, but when the washers activate they make such a mess of the front of the car and bonnet etc. Not so bad if I'm on the...

    Wheel wobble at 75+ MPH

    Hi, 2006 A4 A Line BRD 170 63k miles I seem to have an annoying steering wobble, but only noticeable at 75+ MPH and it doesn't seem to go away, as in I can't "drive through" it. It does improve when going round a long sweeping bend, but then when straight again it comes back. I had all 4...

    Centre display...what's it telling me?

    Hi all, B7 S Line 170 BRD 56 plate. Just curious, a few times now, I've noticed where the MPG is displayed (usually a shocking 43 MPG) I've seen 2.00hr flashing instead of the MPG reading. I thought I'd pressed something last night, so pressed the end of the wiper stalk at the rocker switch...

    Intermittent 3k RPM Limit - Idle 170 BRD

    Hi, 06/56 170 BRD S Line with 62k miles. Firstly, I'm really not sure how long this has been happening, but seems odd to me. Ok, I have discovered today that at full temp idle, sometimes it won't rev over 3k RPM - no big deal I guess, but say 5 seconds later (without recycling the ignition) it...

    Michelin Pilot Sport 5

    Hi all, My 56 plate B7 170 BRD S Line is now running Michelin Pilot Sport 5 all round. I put new fronts on recently, and two rears tonight, very good price delivered from Camskill - plus super quick delivery. I've set them all to 35 psi, and I think they are a brilliant tyre. Is anyone else...

    Is this standard...or at least OEM?

    Hi all, Just wondering, on my B7 S Line 56 plate, I have one of these rear blinds. I can't see any branding on it, and appears to be fixed with two nuts from underneath the parcel shelf, probably fixed under the end caps of where the blind rolls in to. I don't mind it, but when I retract the...
