    electrical fault?

    My alarm on my a4 avant went off on its own two nights ago and i struggled to reset it.When i got in the car 30 mins later the battery was well flat so i had jumper leads from the wife's van.This morning my wife said my car was making a "funny noise" on the drive.When i looked the engine fan was...

    Replacement wing

    The front os wing on my b6 avant is starting to rust on the edges.I've looked for second hand ones for ages in akoya silver(ly7h) with no luck but i did see a company on e-bay that supply pre-painted wings for £114 which are not oem but are insurance recommended.The company is Crabblane parts in...

    window regulator

    Priced a new offside front regulator with main dealer - £110.Found one on e-bay from a breaker for £28 but this is off a b6 saloon.When i put in my b6 avant details it said the part was not compatible.Surely these parts should be the same for avant and saloon.

    Can't do it

    I decided last week to sell my avant and upgrade to a B7 model but after searching through flea bay and auto trader i realised that for £11,000 i was not going to get the spec i wanted - leather and low mileage.Most of the cars in this price range had as many miles as my '03 plate ( 129,000 )...

    Re-mapping

    Guys, just wondering if the 170 tdi s-line is worth mapping or leave it as is.The reason i'm asking is because i had my B6 130 se mapped 2yrs ago and it has been excellent but now i think it's time for a newer model in the next few weeks.This is my first thread in this section and if i find the...

    How do you remove the rear seats from an avant and can you just remove the base on its own without the folding back section?

    Rear wash/wipe

    I have decided to keep my avant for a while longer so am addressing some of the faults i have with it at the moment.Autoglass are coming this Thursday to replace the rear window which has some delamination and about five heating elements broken (I'm also having the windows tinted so the rear...

    Guys,it seems we're spoilt for choice with aftermarket spoilers but there is obviously the quality and fitment issues.If i were to buy oem what would be the better looking,the s-line or s4 spoiler

    ESP switch ( part 2 )

    After 80 plus views and no replies i decided to have a go at changing the switch without removing the surrounding trim panel.It was so simple.Screw through the switch front plate with a small self tapper, give it a tug with a pliers and out it pops.Connect multi-plug to rear of new switch and...

    Re:esp switch

    If i'm replacing the esp switch would it be better to rip off the cover of the old one to get at the locking clips rather than risk breaking the surround trim which is apparently held very firmly in place?

    Tailgate spoiler

    Can anyone recommend a good aftermarket spoiler for my B6 Avant or is it a case of buying from main stealer at ridiculous price?Also just had my 18" alloys powder coated in anthracite grey after debating for 12 months.They look the dogs now but what colour to paint the brake calipers?
