    Snow Foam question....

    I was looking at purchasing and trying the Turtle Wax snow foam (shampoo). From reading its description & video it looks like you can spray it and give it the 10 minutes for the foam to work and then additionally go over it with a mitten before hosing down . Does that sounds right to you all...

    Newbie question on wash foam...

    fairly simple question, but if i used the Meguiars - hyper wash (or similar) , followed by a jet wash of pure clear water would I still need to use a sponge/bucket to go over the car?

    Air Con - Receiver Dryer

    I've read all over the Web that the air con receiver dryer needs to be replaced every 2 years or the most 3 years. Does anyone actually do this? Or do most wait until the compressor is dead and change them as a pair? Is it fairly straight-foward to change or is it very difficult hence why its...

    Interested to know if anyone who does not drive their cars too frequently and covers them from rain/snow/wind/bird droppings whilst parked outside. Where did you get them from and are they easy to put on and take off?

    Alarm/siren unit replacement...

    Was at Audi dealers today asking about the cost of a new one and perhaps get a labour cost for its replacement. The problem is I was told the siren is near the back of the engine. I thought it was deep beneath the bose sub in the rear boot. The other part he identified around that area is the...

    Air con...

    Not sure if this is an issue anyone has experienced or if they know what might be the issue. I have previously asked about the air con not doing its job good enough to keep me cool during last summer.

    I've just noticed one side of my parcel shelf is missing the part that hooks in the back to hold it down. See pictures. Is this a part I can get from audi or Eb*y. If so what is it actually called / part number? Or is this part of the whole parcel shelf?

    Look what has suddenly showed up on my leather seat......

    I am normally in t-shirts so it seems a bit strange how the leather has been worn away so much in the middle there. Probably my recent hot sweaty back! It's actually stands out a lot more than what the picture shows. I am really worried about using anything on it in case it gets worse. Are...

    rear tyres...

    ok, so it looks like I need to replace the 2 rear tyres - not quite sure why they have gone down to the limit when the front ones still have plenty of life. They were all replaced at the same time many many years ago. I currently have Goodyear eagle F1's - 225/45 R17 W (94), but I think I am...

    Another annoying knocking sound story.....

    best described as the noise you would get from shaking an uneven wooden table on a tiled floor! The noise is coming from the front of the car (I think from the right hand side) and you only hear it when driving on very uneven surfaces and not when going over bumps or turning left or right...
