I've just acquired a 2002 A6 1.9 tdi sport which needs some work for an MOT. It needs both front lower arms replacing (the straight lower arms that the shocks attach to). I know from past experience that there are two different sizes of balljoints for these arms - can anyone confirm for me which...

I'm looking to replace the brake discs and pads all round on my 2006 A4 3.0 tdi quattro 233 (chipped to 294). Having priced up Brembo OE spec replacement parts, the whole lot comes to just shy of £300. Are there any other decent brands that are worth considering? Should I be looking to go for...

I am looking to change the wheels on my B7, partly because 2 of mine need a refurb and all 4 tyres need replacing, and noticed that a set of B8 S-line 5 spoke wheels can be had second hand with decent tyres for a good price. I am aware of the difference in centre bore size, but a set of spigot...

Hi all, i have been away from this forum for a while after selling my previous A4 1.9 TDi. I have a MG ZT CDTi at the moment, but after having a drive in a friend's A4 3.0 TDi S-line, i am now considering one myself. I have noticed that there are 2 outputs for this engine, my friend's car is a...

I am having a few problems with fitting 10mm hub-centric spacers to the rerar of my A4. I bought a full set of spacers, and the fronts went on fine, but the rears don't want to go on. They are the correct PCD and the correct centre bore, but it seems that the spigot length on the rear hubs is...

I have just taken delivery of a set of coilovers for my 1997 A4 1.9tdi. I expected them to be built-up complete units, but they have arrived in seperate boxes. I have never had coilovers before, so i am a little un-sure about how they actually fit to the car. The seller supplied the following...

i am thinking of going for a set of these Merc Brabus polished wheels, but would ideally like to see a few pics of them fitted to a B5 A4 to make my mind up. Does anyone have any pics they could post up please to help me out? These are the wheels in question:

Take a look at this. Came accross this advert on pistonheads http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/297397.htm Car is described as having 85,000 miles on pistonheads. Take a look here, it was listed on ebay last week with 135,000 miles...

Gave the A4 a quick polish on Saturday, turned out quite well for a couple of hours work :cool:

I have been having horrendous problems over the past couple of days, where my car has been refusing to start. Its a 1997 Audi A4 TDi by the way. I am 99% sure it is an immobiliser fault, as when it won't start with one key, it will start with the spare key. But i have also found out that it's...

Right, I’m having problems with my Audi 80 2.0 Sport. Its an 1989 G plate. I left it at the house for about 2 weeks, and went to it on Thursday night to take it out for a run. I took it for a good run, about 6 miles, and when I got back home, disaster struck. The car almost died, started...

I took full advantage of the sunny weather today, and spent most of the day working on the old 80. I am quite impressed with how shiny the paintowrk turned out after just meguirs stage 1 and 2. The car is standard sport spec except the borbet wheels which the previous owner fitted over 10...

Now that everyone is on about watching their money, and making sure you have the best type of account and credit card etc, i thought about this issue of reclaiming your charges and fees from the bank. Has anyone on here been sucessfull in doing this, and have any hints and tips, as i am going...

My car currently has a factory fitted remote locking system, but does not have the flip keys as seen with 1998 onwards A4's. I have decided to look into possibly modifying a flip key my fitting the innards of my spare remote key, together with the immobiliser chip and have a new key blade cut...

My contract is coming up for renewal at the end of the month, and i am currently with Vodafone. I know the type of tariff that suits me best, but i have lost touch with the mobile phone market lately with so many new models available. I currently have a Nokia 6680, which was a top end phone with...

As above really, can anyone confirm the correct interval for the timing belt on a 1998 S reg A4 1.8 20 valve? It is not a turbo model by the way. I have been told that it is 80,000 miles, but my 1.9 TDi has a 60,000 mile interval, so i am not sure??

My Audi 80 went in for its MOT this morning, and failed on a few minor details, one of which was most of the exhaust. I had a standard replacement exhaust priced up, and it is not cheap. I have decided to bite the bullet and go for an aftermarket performance exhaust. I quite like the look of the...

I just got my documents through in the post this morning for swapping the golf for the Audi 80 on the policy. The letter states that Tesco are now allowing named drivers to build up their own No Claims Discount so that it can be taken into account if they decide to start their own policy. Now, i...

Took a couple of daytime pics today, just to show you lot my lates purchase. It's a pretty mint 80 Sport 2.0 8 valve, on a 1990 G plate. Its only done 110k miles, and is in amazing condition considering its 17 years old!
