    My A4 has gone for a drive... Modified 2.0TDi 170 Quattro

    Some of you may remember me as the bloke with the grey A4, RS6 grill, 19" Kahns, tints and more LEDs than you can throw a stick at. I'm also renowned for illegal numberplates and a few BRD engine problems. These have included 2 failed injectors, flywheel, clutch, oil pump balance shaft and...

    S4 Day Running Lights Fog Grill Mod ??

    Here's a couple of versions I've tried over the years...... http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/audi-s4-a4-a4-cab-b7-chassis/125115-those-thinking-drls-fog-grill-mods-heres-some-i-tried-earlier.html I'm currently using this 'OEM style' Hella Dayline lamps - custom fitted into my fog surrounds.

    For those thinking of DRL's or Fog Grill Mods - here's some I tried earlier!

    Just linking to this thread and saw the outstanding question! Sorry! They're just 5mm std LEDs hooked up to individual resistors (for 12v) - mounted into the rear of 5mm perspex - which was then slotted into 5mm slots which I cut into the fog surround horizontals. It's a bit more complicated...

    RS6 Grill On My DTM

    You can legally make short plates on your reg - the legality is all about letter size and spacing...not plate size. I've 'downscaled' my plates, they're both currently 410mm x 90mm (standard is 510mm x 110mm).......shows off the grill nicely.

    RS6 Grill On My DTM

    Di-noc carbon wrapped B pillars, opinions please?

    On the inside it looks great..... On the outside it's breaking the lines of the side windows. Needs to be black IMHO

    Anyone know if these are xenon drls

    I personally think they spoil the lines of the car, and make it look like the car is trying to be something that it isn't......#A5

    Anyone know if these are xenon drls

    Xenon is just a gas, that is often used in halogen bulbs..... So i presume you mean HID bulbs? These lamps will be designed to use a halogen lamp in the dipped beam, and a separate lamp in the 'inner' headlight - likely to be the same halogen figment as a standard oem (non HID) headlight...

    "AUTO" Illumination on Light Switch

    Some time ago my green side light bit didnt illuminate.... Audi replaced the whole switch, under warranty 👌. Seems to me that the led has failed 😳

    DRL/ Side light Load Resistors

    Personally I've used 10w resistors when replacing sidelight bulbs (one per bulb), 25w resistors for DRLs (21w bulbs - one per bulb) - just one of these for a pair of numberplate lamps - and 50w resistors for H11 fogs (one per bulb). All from eBay 'load resistor' search.

    Another 2.0TDi 170 problem - Oil Pressure Warning Light....

    The £250 voucher is as good an admittance of guilt as any I know of :)

    Another 2.0TDi 170 problem - Oil Pressure Warning Light....

    Well..... 10 hours labour later, 'just' an oil pump (no turbo or balance shaft) and a £1676 bill from my local independant VAG specialist - she seems to be fighting fit again! I had a bit of a side swipe at Audi Uk about on Twitter and as a result was contacted by them. This allowed me to...

    Another 2.0TDi 170 problem - Oil Pressure Warning Light....

    Yeah seen that - but the vast majority of issues on there relate to the BLB engine......mine's the BRD. Either way I'll keep you posted as the garage continue to investigate the issue.
