    New to me B7 3.0tdi…

    How the colour match? Yeah they’re the identical brand and part I’d post photos but on my phone atm Lothian is very good value for money

    New to me B7 3.0tdi…

    Sorry to hear, but as you say think of the upside. You'll have a freshly painted frontend and be better off by the end of it! BTW. The exact Wings Lothian supply you can buy in primer from Eurocarparts for £39 each. I've bought wings from Lothian painted a pair and was extremely happy with...

    Alternator Change

    Yes it's 16mm. I've just done this myself the other night. We cut the ring end of a 16mm spanner off and used the open end and a pipe over the other end to slip the spanner onto the but and be able to get the access and leverage without having to strip any other parts or move the frontend into...

    Bi xenon headlights prices

    https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/419573/ Ignore the warning light I got. That was fuse misplaced. See the link to the thread and if you have VCDS it's a breeze to retrofit with genuine Kufatec cables. Highly recommend ordering them directly from their site. Worth the bit extra

    Question on Tyres

    I say that as someone with Micheline PS4's on his Avant. And having not long ago fitted a pair of new cheap crap tyres to the rear of a Quattro I was selling and twice had the rear end step out on me because of how bad the grip was on them. Absolute trash. And that was a Quattro!

    Question on Tyres

    Most people have zero issue buying a second hand set of alloy wheels and don't replace the tyres before fitting them to their own car. There's little to no difference in doing the same but just keeping your own wheels. Personally in that situation I'd prefer secondhand Michelins than brand...

    rear folding seats -project starts again (ish)

    I have this interior in my own Avant. It's softer nappa leather and much nicer than the standard Special Edition Leather (or optional leather on S-Lines) I'm big fan of it and it transforms the interior to be completely black too which I love Is this going into a saloon or avant?

    2.0 TDI 125kw BRD replacement

    They all suffer Oil pump issues in one way or another. As @B7Tourer as said avoid BLB. It was perhaps the worst. My original B7 was BLB and had to have the oil pump modification done and came with very expensive invoice to fix it. Since then, I have personally put a BRE into an originally BRD...

    Anyone else getting loads of pop up adverts now?!

    They've completely overdone it now. I know sites cost money to run. I run them myself. But the number of ads is completely excessive and off putting. It's too much

    Cluster Needles - Potential Upgrade

    Oh I understand the thought behind it. And honestly it's one of the most unique mods/upgrades I've ever saw done in this B7 forum so all credit to you I have an S4 cluster here and would just love it without a logo or at least the DTM logo in it's place
