    JHM Tuning Cable UK

    At some point over the next few months I'll be ordering a JHM ECU/TCU tune, and to potentially avoid having to buy the specific cable for a one-time use, does anyone in the UK have one they'd be willing to lend me to install the tune? I think the cables are generic, but it's for a B8.5 RS5...

    For Sale A4 B7 3.0 TDI S/S Exhaust

    Cat-back 316 stainless steel custom exhaust for a 2007 Audi A4 B7 3.0TDI Cabriolet.

    Crankshaft Pulley Failed

    Started the car earlier this week to find that the power steering wouldn't work. As I had topped it up with fluid not too long ago due to it making a noise I assumed the pump had gone. The breakdown assistance guy turned up and pointed out to me that the aux belt was loose in the engine bay and...

    Wheel Alignment with No Arch Gap

    I've been having some difficulty finding somewhere who is able to adjust the alignment of my wheels due to the very limited amount of space between the top of the wheel and the top of the wheel arch. I know for a fact people have lower cars than me! Questions are: Where do you take yours to...

    Front Ashtray Insert

    I'm going to make a central charging dock for my new Sony Z3 Compact, however in order to do this I want to mould the charger into the centre ashtray. Somehow I've managed to lose mine and although they are available on eBay for circa £15, it seems a lot for such a small part. Anyone know where...

    Loose Hub Bolt

    A few months ago I noticed an odd whining/moaning noise when turning in a car park (not on full lock) at low speed. It was different to the normal power steering squeak on full lock and it changed pitch/volume as the wheels rotated. After checking everything was where it should be, taking the...

    Gearbox Remap for Tiptronic?

    Anyone ever heard of JR Tuning in Kent? They claim they have developed their own software to remap the tiptronic auto boxes (which I previously thought were un-mappable), which doesn't alter the shift pattern but it provides quicker gear changes and raises the torque limits (within the limits)...

    3.0tdi Engine Out... Preventative Maintenance?

    I'm having my timing chains and belt replaced over the weekend to hopefully avoid engine failure at 140,000 miles... I've had no problems since I've owned the car other than wear and tear, however as the engine is coming out is there anything that I could replace as a precautionary measure for...

    4 Seater Cabriolet Wind Deflector

    Most cab owners will either own or be aware of the existence of the Audi wind deflector: They're almost an essential extra as they make driving with the top down for extended periods more enjoyable. However, they render your rear seats unusable and driving without a deflector with passengers...

    Cruise Control - Hunting Revs

    I searched and found a similar problem in the B8 section, but with no solution... I've noticed over the past couple of weeks (since my service actually, however I think that's coincidence), that when I first drive the car, i.e. leaving work or leaving home and I set the cruise to bang-on 30mph...

    De-CAT Downpipe (3.0tdi)

    I've just found a De-CAT downpipe from darkside developments for £300... I'm tempted to get one given the cost is less than half what I was anticipating. I already have a custom exhaust which has no restrictions in (mandrel bends, straight through silencers, DPF & 2nd CAT removed), so am...

    ESP - on/off/half-off?

    Done a search with no answers. My mate who has a RS4 has just said that he thinks in an RS4 you can select between ESP: On, Off, Half-off. Half-off is selected by a single press of the ESP button and Off by holding the button down. He said that the 'Off' feature is an RS4 only feature... I find...

    Convertible Wind Deflectors (Windows)

    Does anyone make a wind deflector for the windows of the A4 cab? I know because they are pillar-less they will be hard to come by but a company makes them for other pillar-less coupes: Given the non-fixed roof I'm just looking for something to clip onto the side of the A-pillar to stop rain...

    Indicator Bulbs: Offset or Straight Pins?

    Simple question, owners manual doesn't specify bulb type for front indicators (healight, not wing), bulb websites specify 581's or 382's, seem to remember on my B6 they were 382's... No room behind the headlight to get it out with my stumpy fingers and want to order some chrome bulbs before...

    HIDs Direct

    Just ordered a 5000k 35w kit from HIDs Direct. Spoke to one of their customer service people on the phone and asked about the CANBUS (obviously) and the wiper motor problems experienced by some A3 owners. She said that is was only the A3 that was affedcted and the newer kits don't suffer from...

Found this kit on eBay, AUDI A4 05-07 B7 4DR SALOON DTM TYPE FULL BODYKIT INC MESH | eBay price doesn't seem to unreasonable, however: 1) Will it fit a cabriolet? (Slight modification accepted, but if...

    New Custom Exhaust (3.0tdi)

    Finally got my exhaust fabricated and thought I would post a few pics. 316 stainless steel construction (apart from the tips which are 304 because they had to be bought). Really pleased with the results! Only downside is the speed at which the tips become blackened! Video doesn't do it...
