    New tyres over sensitive to road surfaces

    I replaced my 2016 A7’s oem 20 inch Pirelli P zeros after 2 years / 31,000m with Vredestein Ultrac Vorti R - identical spec, load & speed rating - after reading positive reviews of the Vredesteins and previous good experiences with the brand. After doing 1,000m or so on the Vredesteins I’ve...

    Cracked windscreen on A7 - warranty claim?

    A few weeks ago I noticed a 5-6mm long crack in my windscreen close to the rear view mirror. When I ran my finger over the outside of the glass there was no chip or obvious impact damage. This morning the crack has extended to over 250mm long and I'll definitely need a replacement windscreen...

    Allowable wheel offset on B6 cabrio

    I'm looking to change my 52 plate 3.0 cabrio's current wheels which are 18 inch ET45 rims with 235/40 tyres to 17 inch ET35 rims with 235/45 tyres, (don't ask why, its a long story). The tyre diameter works out ok as a swap for speedo reading purposes but anyone know if the 35mm offset is ok...

    Vibration through steering wheel at certain revs

    Here’s a tricky one – my 3.0 multitronic is smooth as anything except for a strange coarseness / vibration through the steering wheel which happens when accelerating through 1800 and 2100 rpm in auto mode or in numbers 2 to 6 of the manual ‘gears’, (don’t feel it in first for some reason).

    Strange noises from top of dash

    I’m hearing servo type whirrings from the top of the dash of my 2002 B6 3.0 Cabrio, even when the ignition key has been taken out. These sound like the vents moving, anyone have any idea what’s going on and whether this is a problem?

    How to remove my multitronic gearlever surround

    I've been asking for advice on how to remove scratches from the aluminium gear selector surround on my multitronic and have been told to polish it out of the car in order to make a decent job of it. Anyone know how this can be removed? I've looked at the parts diagrams and can see how the wood...

    Scratched multitronic gearlever surround

    The metal gearlever surround on my multitronic has lots of fine scratches. I've tried to reduce the appearance of these with Autosol but they still really bug me. I'm tempted to just use fine wire wool across the whole surround and then Autosol it again to give it an even finish but worry this...

    Cabrio black roof treatments

    I know this question has been asked before but reckon products and experience change over time so worth asking again... My 2002 cabrio's black hood is looking patchy after some intense cleaning, what would you recommend to give a nice even intense black and then keep it that way? Also has...
