From what I can gather, the...

    Hi I have been looking to fit a phatbox and bluetooth handsfree kit that I already have into the wife's b7 A4 cab with a concert II+ stereo. Whilst doing this I have come across all sorts of relatively cheap products that seem to do all this with a lot less fuss such as Xcarlink, yatour and...

    This is what I've bought: AUDI A4 B6 2001-2005 DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK/ MOTOR CATCH | eBay going to change it this weekend. Looks like that bolt will still come out with the spline bit. They're only about half inch long but have blue thread lock on.

    Have had the fairly common drivers door bouncing back when you go to shut it. I have removed the door lock and given it a good soak in WD40 and cleaned it and greased it up but it still doesn't spring down to the fully open position. It appears that some of the rubber coating of the latch is...

    How do I unplug drivers door wiring loom from the car body??

    thanks for your answer woorlord, think I am a bit confused tho. There is no problem with the plugs, just that 1 of the wires has come out of the back of the plug. How does the repair wire work, do you just shove it into the back of the plug. will TPS know what I'm talking about? thanks
