    For Sale Audi A4 B6 Westfalia towbar with detachable swan neck

    Westfalia part number 305206600001. Bought for my A4 Cabriolet but never fitted as I was worried about towing with a Multitronic gearbox. £50 collected from Royston, North Herts. If no interest then I'll stick it on eBay.

    Leaving the fold

    After 38885 miles and nearly 4 years of ownership, I've sold my A4 Cabriolet to my sister. I was sad to see her go and after removing all the stuff I've been transporting around, I realised that there is very little space in my Jaguar XK convertible to put it all.. so I'm having to vastly...

    A4 Cabriolet Subwoofer install

    Although my Cab came from the factory with Bose audio, unless I have my head directly between the two front speakers, it's a bit lacking in oomph. I've had subs in my previous cars and thought that as I had various amps and cables lying around, I might as well use them. Of course I ended up...

    Coolant temperature sensor

    I noticed that the engine took longer than usual to get up to temp, then didn't stay there and dropped back to 80ish. I started to worry about the thermostat, mine's a 2.5TDI so tough to get at. I thought if better take a look and see if it was anything else. Upon inspection, the CTS seemed...

    Cabriolet headlight / bumper adjustment

    I removed my offside headlamp today and polished it up. it was easy to remove, 2 bolts on top, slacken one at rear and I was careful not to break the tab on the electrical connector. However, after replacing the headlight, there appears to be a bigger gap between the light and the bumper. I've...

    Cupra Splitter fitted

    I fitted this a couple of weeks ago.. I'm not entirely convinced yet. It does make the front look less smooth. Was quite easy to fit, once I had the car on my ramps (with extensions). I cut the tabs down so they were flat, cut down the central pillars to 2.5cm or so, lined them up with the...

    2.5TDI Glow plugs replaced

    My Cab has been reluctant to start in the cold recently and has been producing clouds of white smoke. It has started every time, but I suspected the Glow Plugs needed refreshing. I sprayed on some penetrating oil on Friday, then again on Saturday when I dismantled enough to get good access to...

    Fat Fives

    Do you think my wife will notice? I needed new tyres anyway.. I now have to sell my 17" five star wheels to recoup some of the cost. I'll take some more pictures when I get my web hosting sorted.

    Replacement for factory reverse sensors

    Has anyone taken out the factory reverse sensors and found a replacement kit that a. fit the existing holes in the bumper b. don't break every 6 months. I'm fed up with mine, I've had the bumper off 4 times now to replace sensors, which isn't a quick job (involves 23 screws and nuts). I'm...

    Window switch cleaning - 'one touch' restored

    I noticed in the last couple of days that my drivers window wasn't going down on 'one touch'. It went up OK, just not down. I tried resetting by holding the switch down, then up.. and up for 2 seconds until i clicked, but with no success. I took the switch assembly out of the door and...

I start my journey and the Climate gets nice a toasty.. all is well until an hour into my drive, I start to get cold air...

    RNS-e on it's way out?

    Hi, I have a factory fitted RNS-e in my 2005 A4 Cabriolet. It's running the 2012 maps and SW 650 (My DVD burner was able to burn the ISO I found successfully) I recently upgraded the Bluetooth module to one with full functionality and coded the Head unit accordingly - all works well. In the...

    Hi, After some advice on towing with my A4 Cabriolet. I have a smallish un-braked trailer that I use for family holidays and trips to the dump. I have the choice of fitting a removable towbar to my A4, or the wife's Mercedes A170 CDI. I'm a bit concerned about towing with the potentially...
