Hi all, I have searched but only found older posts so they aren't overly helpful. I currently have the standard single din radio and a cd changer. I've got an x car link to play music over Bluetooth but my iPhone doesn't get on with it. I'd like to fit a double din android stereo, but what is...

Hi all, the B7 has finally gone. Sad times it was a good car over the time we had it. We've gone for a skoda superb diesel this time and unfortunately my bluefin unit isn't compatible. Does anyone know if the bluefin can be used on another a4 as it was removed from ours, or is it locked to a...

It's time to part ex the old girl in for a bigger skoda superb estate. I've added some little bits to the a4 avant over the last few years, not sure if they're worth anything to bother removing them though? Connects2 car link, hands free kit and Bluetooth audio via the cd changer input. Are...

Hi chaps, I have had my tfsi S-line avant for a few years now. Lovely car and all, it's mainly the wifes to lug about in. She complained the suspension was too harsh on the standard S-line springs, which were very crashy. I upgraded them to some H&R progressive springs, which improved the ride...

My Mrs had a slight bump earlier. This is the result! Any idea where is best to get the grill? Is it a complete unit or can it be bought as a top or bottom section? I'm thinking TPS for the parts?

Hi chaps, A really annoying 'what's it worth' post I'm afraid. My Mrs has had the avant for a while now, she's moaning more and more I make her Park far away and won't let her eat in it etc.. The little one is 14 months old and I can't stand to see the car ruined. So I've decided to sell it...

Evening chaps, Service time is up for my 2.0 TFSI and I wanted to know what engine oils you recommend. I have been using Quantum Platinum since I replaced the oil pick up pipe a few thousand miles ago. Is there anything recommended to help avoid oil pressure problems? I have been reading quite...

Hi chaps, I recently bought a retrofit kit for an auto dimming mirror with the auto light switch and coming home switch. I have searched on here for the retrofit instructions but there doesn't seem to be a concise guide. I have the mirror with a 3 pin plug (auto dimming plug) which I'm...

Hi again chaps, I've posted about this noise previously and still haven't managed to get it fixed (classic mechanic with a noisy car!) Basically I changed complete front suspension arm kits, springs and shocks along with b5 cups and fitted a set of 19 rs4 wheels (not genuine rs4 but audi and...

Hi chaps, A friend of mine had the above mentioned car and always hinted he would like more power. I have had mapped cars in the past so thought I'd buy him one as a present. Now, on mk4 golfs blacksmoke remaps were always highly regarded as excellent for the money. Has anyone any info...

Had a little incident with the a4 today, right in the lion enclosure! Was stuck in a queue for ages after crawling through in 1st gear for ages. Queue wasn't moving so switched for off for a few mins. Then engine wouldn't start. Made a loud clunky noise and just turning over. I feared the...

Hi Chaps, Recently I changed the front discs and pads on the SE wagon, it has the large drilled discs 323mm? from memory. The brake pedal was pretty juddery, as if warped discs. When I bought the car it had recently had front brakes due to warped discs as the salesman told me. I'm a mechanic...

Hi all, Getting a tad desperate on my mk4 Golf now, I'll copy the post I made on ukmkiv's and would really appreciate any help as I am running out of things to test now! * I swapped my turbo back over ko3s back to the ko3 it originally had. Now it turns over but won't fire. No faults in vcds...

Hi all, I thought I'd do a new thread for this as it is information I didn't know about when I was planning on doing mine. The B5 lowering spring cups which are meant to lower the front of a B7 down around 15mm (ideally to even up the drop on a set of lowering springs, needed for H&R 40mm kit...

Hi all, I am hoping to fit some B5 spring cups to my B7 avant to level out the springs a bit as the H&R ones sit a bit too low at the rear. I also have new Bilstein shocks to fit, I have just test fitted the cups to find the Bilstein ones are 2mm smaller in overall diameter and dont have the...

Hi chaps, After reading all the horror stories of the mighty 2.0t being brought down by pick up pipe blockages I decided it was time to replace mine at 105k. All I will say is it was a pig of a job. If anyone is thinking about a driveway job then don't bother. I'm a truck mechanic and had...

Hi chaps, I've just picked up some RS4 style alloys for my a4 but they are in far from mint condition. I'm hoping to replace 2 of the linglong tyres for ultac sessanta and when I can replace the other 2 auto grips for the same. Does anyone know of any good refurb places in Salisbury or...

Hi everyone, I have a couple of questions. My s line springs were rock hard and a horrible ride so I replaced them with 2wd h&r 35mm springs and the rode is really good. Only problem is the rear seems a big lower than the front, prob 5 to 10mm, I'll attach a pic when I can. Just wondered if...

Hi all, I've not long had my first little girl (8 days old today!):thumbsup: and with this hot weather and sunshine I am trying to keep it out of her eyes. I bought 2 el cheapo ones which just sucker to the window, but the rear boot windows are a weird shape and I can't seem to block it, even...

Hi, My Mrs accidentally caught a rogue stone which has chipped the windscreen. She couldn't understand why I wasn't more annoyed, which was because I thought that it might be a good time to retro fit the auto lights etc... Just thought I'd check to see how easy this is and how available the...
