Time to move on so planning on putting my car up for sale as soon as i sort pics out (this weekend if it stays dry). I've checked autotrader and the guides and prices seem to be anywhere between £6k and £11k. The bottom being right sheds that have been driven to the moon and back on a daily...

Put the car in for it's MOT this morning. Garage just called to say that it's failed on the handbrake. They said the failure point is 15% and mine is showing 14%. They said it could just be that the caliper needs a clean but won't know until they have a look. I had the rear brake discs and...

Can anyone give me the nod for somewhere near Glasgow that can supply and fit a Milltek exhaust please?

Will be replacing my rear discs and pads this coming weekend hopefully and just wondered if anyone out there could confirm 2 of the tools required. The first is the bit required for removal of the carrier. It looks like another one of those 12 point spline jobies, does anyone know what size? I...

Stumbled across this thread while looking for something else. http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/handling/32417-dsg-2-0tdi-launch-control-feature.html Surely this isn't what could be deemed launch control? It sounds like it might hurt the car.

I take it if you switch the ESP off then the ABS doesn't work in an Audi? I'm assuming this because my car was even crapper than a rear wheel drive BMW in the snow this morning and previous experience in other cars has been that ABS does work even if traction control is off. This morning I had...

I'm really confused by Audi servicing. My car is just about to hit 70k miles and since it's not had the timing belt done I decided to put it in and get a service done at the same time. Going by the book this will be the cars 4th service. The last one was at 54k ish last October and was a long...

Decided to start this thread as a kind of contrast to the "who has had to replace their turbo", "My engine/turbo/injectors etc etc all blew up/stopped working/fell off" threads. I think all the negative threads can be quite scary so it would be good if people with no or very minor problems...

I need recommendations for an indy in the Glasgow area please, somewhere close to the centre or able to provide drop off or courtesy if possible. My car needs a service and the cambelt doing. Had a read of the service sticky but only two posts on Glasgow and one is Glasgow Audi which I don't...

Has anyone removed the black plastic cowl that runs along the bottom of the windscreen? Whipped the wiper arms off at the weekend and had a bit of a tug at it but couldn't see how it would come off near the windscreen as it's pretty flush fitting and last thing I want is a leak in this area...

I don't know if the aluminium race (I think that's what it's called) style interior inlays have been about for a while or not but the first time I seen them was in an RS3 so to me they are new. Anyway, I quite fancied some but didn't really want to fork out £200 on a few wee bits of plastic that...

As the title says. I'm thinking about fitting lowering springs and as I've never done it before I was wondering if it's a home job or not. I've got most of the tools needed and am a fairly competent mechanical DIYer but have never done this job before, brakes is probably the closest I've got...

I heard the bing and I ignored it. I saw the yellow pump icon and I ignored it. The DIS now says 5 miles left so with a 30 mile drive home I can no longer ignore it. My questions is. If the DIS says 5 miles does it actually mean 5 miles or will it do a fair bit more? What about a reserve...

My son has out grown his car seat so I need a new one. I would rather get one that will do him from now (9 months) until he no longer needs one. I've been recommended the Recaro Young Sport as it's the usual Recaro quality and very versatile. Anyone got any recommendations?

Can anyone tell me if the drops stated with H&R and Eibach springs relate to standard suspension? So if it's 50mm drop then it will lower S line around 25mm as it's already lower than standard. So therefor the 30mm lowering springs from these or any other manufacturer would be pointless on S Line.

Local breaker has a steering module with part number 8P0 953 549 K. I checked on Ross tech and there is no K module listed. Would this be okay for retro MFSW on the car in my sig which already has cruise? Going on the research I've done on here the general advice is to go for 8P0 953 549 F...

I'm thinking about getting a new wheel as my next mod. I have a 2006 S line with a non multifunction wheel and feel that the wheel is too skinny and just doesn't feel nice. I know that everyones first shout would be the FBMFSW but I don't actually like the flat bottoms or the price tag (shock...

Getting my windows done next week and was wondering if anyone knew what the percentage was of the factory privacy glass.

Hello, only my second post here as just bought a 2006 sportback. I've found and used the search as well as FAQs but can't find the answer to my first (probably of many) stupid questions. Same as most people on here I'm looking to change the grill for a black job. I like to do things on the...

Hello all, been lurking around these parts for a while now and thought I'd join up since I'll soon be an Audi owner. I have just bought an 06 sportback 2.0 tdi DSG s-line (god that's a mouthful). I've been promising myself an Audi for ages, I actually went to view an A4 avant 14 months ago...
