So apparently I have a small hole in the condenser, not a massive job so foolishly ordered a part from ECP... Got everything off new condenser fitted in the bracket holes perfectly and then found the fittings on the ends of the 2 flexis will not fit in the sockets on the condenser. Each is a...

So driving home last night, battery light popped on and went out. Stopped at a set of lights and gave a couple of revs and it came on and stayed on. Got home, engine off battery at 12.31v, engine running at idle 12.13v so it looks like it's not charging at all. It was dark and I was tired so...

The wife just bought a 55 plate Golf. All straight and tidy, only problem there is just the 1 key. I've searched online but as ever conclusive evidence is difficult to pin down. Apparently on Mk5 Golfs it's not possible to recode another key to a car and the only option is the main stealer. I...

Just got an air con pressure switch to swap out as it had the code fault on VCDS. The replacement one is far too long to fit and the threads don't engage before the barrel bottoms on the fitting. I purchased it from GSF (should have known better!!) and it's the only one they list for my reg...

Ok, so pulled away from a roundabout, fairly enthusiastically, second gear approached 6k revs and bang, felt like it hit a hard limiter. ESP light came on and now stays on. I can only think one of the front wheels went over a manhole cover and spun up. Any Ideas?

My other half has borrowed the A4 a few times now and with some gentle suggestion I have encouraged her to look for an A4 Convertible. I'm aware of most of the common issues buying a B6 but are there any particular aspects to look out for when considering a cabriolet? Are there any specific...

So over the coldest winter my A4 was being a little sluggish turning over. It never failed to start but always laboured a bit. Every now and again from cold I would start it up and 'Brakes' would appear on the DIS accompanied by a beep and the handbrake indication light flashing. Brake pads...

So yesterday I embarked on changing the elbow pipe that breaks on all VAG 1.8T engines. The old one came out after about an hour in about 50 pieces, the hoover made sure all wreckage was removed. Went to fit the replacement which is a Febi Bilstein part and it simply would not fit properly in...

Why is it so hard to find a decent black front centre armrest for a B6?! It's becoming increasingly annoying trying to get a good one. I've paid for 2 now, only for them to be refunded when the sellers come back to me with "Oh by the way do you mind this massive rip in the leather which I...

So drove about 10 miles today into town and whatnot, went to change the driveshaft on the missus' 306 and noticed a small puddle under my A4... Had the pink tinge like the coolant and sure enough the level was just under the Min mark. Let it cool for a few hours, jacked it up, popped the...

Slightly worrying occurrence happened this morning on my 1.8T A4 190. On my way to work 6 mile B-road then dual carriageway, got to the DC part in no real rush so was just ambling along in 4th, pressed on the accelerator and nothing happened utterly dead. Dropped into 3rd and it pulled away as...

Right I've had a search but couldn't quite find the right info. I have an 04 A4 Avant running the single DIN Concert head unit and the 6 CD changer in the glovebox. I would very much like to upgrade to some form of RNS system and some Bose speakers (the Bose setup in my S3 was definitely...

Well all's been well and good for all of two days. Drove into work today and just before I got there a regular and loud clicking sound started up. It seems to be coming from the steering wheel and is going all the time with the engine on. Whilst stationary turning the wheel to the left makes...

I'm currently torn between vaguely sensible (190 Quattro S-Line 1.8T Avant) and something a bit more lairy (B6 S4 Avant), but not being able to find a 2004 1.8T Avant S-line that's not taking the p1ss for love nor money has made me search for S4s. I figured the worst I will find is that it's too...

Hi there I am going to look at an A4 Avant tomorrow but it's only the 163 brake and if I do get it I would like to swap out the wheels for the variants that come on the 190bhp S-Line. can you tell me the name of these wheels? Cheers Veero

I've been keeping an eye out on the usual places (Autotrader, eBay, PH etc) to see what sort of money A4 Avant 1.9 TDis and 1.8Ts fetch. I keep seeing 'Limited Edition' models for sale and they don't have anything obvious that shouts Limited Edition about them. Can anyone tell what makes them...

I currently have an S3 and am fast finding (should have known better really) that mountain biking + S3 = royal PITA. So I am looking to shop in my (only 2 months of ownership) S3 for an A4 Avant. Now I will be looking for a 1.9 TDi Sport and a few years ago I had a 99 X plate A4 Avant which...

Had my S3 about 6 weeks now. Noticed recently, 9 times out of 10 when I set off in the morning the handbrake seems to stick on. I release the hand brake go to drive off and there's a small amount of resistance, a light clunk and the brakes are then spot on. It's like the pads rust to the discs...

One thing that always make me cringe with Audi is the lack of electrically folding mirrors, especially when the aluminium ones are reportedly £350 each + Vat from a Stealership. Even current models don't seem to have folding mirrors which boggles the mind when so many other manufacturers have...

Hi All, A quick introduction post to say hello. Used to have an A4 Avant TDi which due to it's slowness was sold and replaced with a Subaru Legacy GTB import. Very fast and a riot to drive but silly insurance and fuel bills have forced a downsize, hence the S3. It's a 2003 standard S3 in black...
