    Tomorrow, finally!

    Well folks, tomorrow is the day I finally collect my new A6. Can't wait, black edition in daytona grey, s tronic, tech pack, heated seats and folding mirrors. I've got a 2 hour drive to collect it which is a bit of a stinker but never mind, hopefully it will be worth it!

    New Owner

    Evening All I have just purchased a 2007 A6 2.7 TDI V6 Quattro S Line Le Mans. I had a 2.0 TDI A4 B7 a few years ago and absolutely loved it but became a little bored and wanted something with a few more toys so I traded it in for a Mercedes C220 AMG Sport. The Mercedes was fantastic but it...

    Traded in the B7

    Decided to part company with the Audi and opt for something a bit different. The A4 has been the best car I have ever owned, not a single problem in nearly 3 years of ownership so i will be sad to see it go but... onwards and upwards as they say. I have gone for a C Class Sport with AMG pack...

    Headlights on unlock ?

    Is it possible to make my headlights come on when unlocking the car ? I know the question about auto lights has been asked a million times but this isn't auto lights as such. Somebody mentioned to me a while ago they thought this can be activated in VCDS. I have just bought myself some DRL's so...

    Squeaky Alternator Belt ?

    Morning all My 2.0 TDI has started making a bit of a squeaking noise. It is definitely a belt squeaking. I sprayed some WD40 on the alternator belt at the front of the engine bay and it made the noise go away straight away but the next morning the noise returned. Does the belt just need...

    Reverse Camera

    Afternoon all. I was bored last week and decided to buy myself a reverse camera. Fitted it over the weekend and I have to say I am massively impressed ! It was a bit of a pain to route the cables from the trunk to the nav but apart from that it was straight forward. I opted for a Sony CCD 520...

    LED Bulbs Help !

    Evening All. I know LED bulbs can be a bit of a touchy subject on here but i am hoping somebody can help me out. I bought some LED number plate light bulbs for my car about a year ago and upon installation i noticed that the LED bulbs were flicking, pretty much like a constant pulsing. I...

    A small disaster..

    I purchased a number plate light reversing camera a few days ago and it arrived yesterday. I went out last night and had a look at how i am going to install it and ended up taking the trim off the inside of the boot lid to gain access to the nuts that hold the number plate light assembly in...

    Anti shudder valve problem

    Evening all I took my EGR valve apart yesterday to give it a good cleaning. Obviously in order to get the EGR out I had to remove the anti shudder valve but I just followed the guide instructions and left the anti shudder valve resting on the bottom of the engine so I didn't actually touch it...

    Mr Muscle Turbo Cleaning

    Hi All Some of you may have read that i have been experiencing a problem with my 2.0 TDI going into limp mode. Almost everyone seems to think that it is the turbo vanes sticking. If this is the case, can this be cured by using Mr Muscle oven cleaner as some people have done previously ? I have...

    Limp Mode

    Over the last few days my car has started going into "limp mode". This morning i was entering the motorway and was in a bit of a rush so i put my foot down in 5th gear, i was only doing about 50-65 and about 2-3.5 RPM and the car just lost all power as if it had cut the turbo off. For the rest...

    Opinions Please..

    Ok so i bought myself some wheels for my A4 on Saturday. Rather than having the cheap tyres thrown on the rims i decided just to buy the rims on their own this time and have my tyres put onto my new rims. Being the OCD freak that i am i was concerned that the wheels might get damaged when...
