    Yes it will, I recently fitted the Denison kit to my 2004 A4 TDI with 6 disc in dash changer. The Denison plugs into the un-used ports for the glovebox changer.

    A4 2004 Avant - Symphony Stereo to iphone - losing will to live.... :(

    Well massive thanks to B5NUT who has very kindly posted me his proper Audi release keys. Took a couple of attempts as I think the stupid wrong keys had bent the springs slightly. But with a bit of a wiggle sure enough out it came. My Dension arrived today so I'm now connected for ipod, what is...

    Thanks buddy, that is what I wanted to hear. As per usual the people selling these adaptor kits cannot be more unhelpful.

    A4 2004 Avant - Symphony Stereo to iphone - losing will to live.... :(

    Gents, Thanks for the tips. They are indeed the crap ebay keys, by now I should have known better. I managed to get the top left corner to unclip and it will move by pushing from behind, but the lower left corner will not budge no matter what. The wiring plugs suprisingly were not that hard to...

    A4 2004 Avant - Symphony Stereo to iphone - losing will to live.... :(

    Ladies and Gents I am trying in vain to fit an IPod/IPhone kit to my 2004 A4 Avant, it has the Symphony head unit with in-built 6 disc changer. Apart from not being able to connect to my IPhone its a cracking bit of kit so I don;t want to change it. However try as I might I just cannot get...

    Hi, thanks for the answer. I've not used TPS before- can anyone buy from them, or is it trade only?

    Decent quality front suspension arms?

    Hi all Well my 04 Avant is in need of a lower front suspension arm- the straight one. I've had bad experiences in the past buying cheapo replacements and then having to change them again in 12 or 18 months. So really does anyone know of a known to be good quality replacement that is going to...

    Few daft questions....

    Car is a 2004 8E A4 Avant SE 1.9 TDi. I've not had it long so bear with me 1)- Should it have a cover over the battery etc in front of the wipers? There is not one there, but don't know if it is missing, or never had one 2)- Is the rear wiper motor on the Avant known to be weak? Mine seems...

    Avant tyres

    My car is a 2004 version of yours, it has Continentals all round at the moment, I'm pretty pleased with them, they do seem to last well. I have to say though I think with the way the turbo comes in etc it will be hard for any tyres to cope pulling away sharply in the wet.

    How many miles do you get out of you A4 1.9TDi??

    I've just got through my first tank of fuel in my 2004 1.9 TDi 130 Avant, I got 550miles which I am quite pleased with as a lot of my mileage is around town usually. Certainly beats the 320 miles or so I used to get out of my old Avant 2.5 TDi Quatt.

    A4 Avant 2004- headlights are awful!

    Hi chaps Well good news, I got chance to have a look tonight, with the air intake duct off I found the lamp back cover missing- this will explain the couple of dead flies in there.... Then looking further the H7 bulb was connected but not clipped into place properly. So 10 secs to clip it in...

    A4 Avant 2004- headlights are awful!

    Hi Guys, thanks for all your info. My car doesn't have headlamp washers so they must not be Xenon lights. I thought they might be as they are the projector type dipped lenses but it seems not. I will have to remove the light and have a good look at it, just need to wait until there is some...

    A4 Avant 2004- headlights are awful!

    Hmm, maybe they are not Xenon headlamps then, is there a code to look for on the spec sticker, or any other easy way to tell? I'm not sure it is to do with the headlamp levelling- this seems to work, but there is just no noticeable beam pattern to be seen.

    A4 Avant 2004- headlights are awful!

    Hello chaps. I've just bought an A4 1.9 TDI 130PD to replace my 99 A4 2.5 TDi Quat Avant. I'm really pleased with the new car so far, it is nice to drive and feels torquey and punchy even compared to my old 2.5 However one thing that is a serious disappointment bordering on dangerous is the...

    A4 Avant B5 - Concert mute wire?

    Hello guys I am wanting to fit a Parrot bluetooth phone kit to my A4, it is fitted with the standard Concert (non-BOSE) stereo unit. Can anyone point me in the direction of a wiring pin-out so I can identify the telephone muting wire into the stereo? I know that the Avant uses an amplifier...

    A4 Avant rear ride height too low

    Hi all My 1998 A4 Avant Quattro (2.5 TDI) seems to ride very low at the back. It has always been like this since I bought it over 18 months ago and does not seem to have got any lower. I use the car to tow a car transporter trailer with race car in roughly 10 times a year, and with the...

    '00 2.5tdi clouds of white smoke!!!

    Well the "oil mist seperator" has been fitted by me this morning (not too bad actually, remove all 6 injector pipes, unbolt EGR valve from bracket to move it across slightly, I then found I just needed to lever the pipe from the turbo to the EGR valve slightly to get the breather filter past it...

    '00 2.5tdi clouds of white smoke!!!

    I've just read through this thread and am now grinning my head off :) Reason being my A4 2.5 TDI Quattro Avant has been leaking oil for a while now, but recently has started emitting clouds of smoke when it has warmed up. Obviously not knowing about the breather problems I was expecting the...
