I bought our A4 used from a dealer and I negotiated the addition of cruise control as part of the deal amongst other small details such as price, as I knew it's a doddle to do. So that's always an option open to you.

No, they definitely come with mirrors, as when you approach them they are dawdling along following the line of traffic until you make the first move to overtake, at which point they pull out and go all psychotic - all without signalling of course :-)

We have mudguards on our B6 and it still kicks up the dirt. I've always had either hatchbacks or estates though so I'm used to it. Don't you invalidate the warranty on a german car by looking behind you? :-)

Was the £180 for both sides or just the one? thanks.

I've resurrected this thread as I really need to get the nipper in the front seat at the same time as carrying something in the rear with the rear seats folded. I would use my S3 in the same role instead of the A4, but the seats are too bucketed to take a full size kiddy seat (rock-a-tot size...

Your insurance company will take the view that you need to run whatever rating was fitted as OEM spec for your car as a minimum rating, so if OEM spec is V then you can run V or higher etc. Otherwise in the event you are unlucky the insurance assessor might take that excuse to invalidate your...

We have a B6 130 Sport (2wd 6sp) as the family car and we've been pretty happy with it, I wouldn't want to go for the 100bhp version though - although the 130 pulls very well and is surprisingly quick, I drive a 225bhp petrol car and the difference is very marked! It returns great economy and...

Roughly every other day, here's the most recent thread from two days ago: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=49281 My understanding is that you need to have the same minimum rating as was a factory fit to avoid your insurance company invalidating any claim in the event of an...

This is a problem with the projector lenses, you get a complete cut off between the projected beam and around, rather than a wash effect from reflector lenses where you get some dimmer light reflected around the beam area. If you have self-levelling then you will need the VAG-COM tool before...

The levers aren't there in all A4's, the local dealer described it as a "cost reduction" measure but was as baffled as I was as to why they couldn't just add a quid to the asking price....

Sounds normal Terry, we have two Audis, one petrol and one diesel, and both drink the stuff. The dealers will tell you it's quite normal too. Personally speaking, if I were you I'd get into the habit of checking it regularly rather than wait for the min light as that only comes on when it's...

I've been out run by one of those Rover 75's in my S3, but he drove like a man possessed and personally I choose life - I think he just wanted to get home before his viagra wore off...

My S3 has the little levers, consequently I was rather irritated to find that our B6 family transport didn't have them as well. I spoke to our dealer who said that some earlier B6's had the lever but they were phased out (probably a cost reduction measure). Their advice was to dip the...

Personally, I thought F1's were terrible/lethal in cold weather and I was very glad to replace them on both our B6 1.9 tdi 130 and my S3. They're totally out-performed by the bridgestone S03s I once used many times, but they wear out quickly. Currently using Michelins on both cars and although...

Agree here. The OEM continentals our avant came with were continental sport contacts which tramlined all over the place, the goodyear F1's that then went on were garbage and the Michelin primacy that are now on are streets ahead. Our family transport is the avant version of the car you're...

Bose is rubbish, better than standard but eclipsed by after-market substitutes. Our A4 has gala which means it changes the volume as the speed/background noise changes, could this explain the changing levels you are hearing?

Anyone know how much space is behind/around the rear left hand cubby hole (the one that's carpeted inside) of the B6 avant? I'm trying to find a good location for a phatnoise, and I'm wondering if that area can be modified. Our car doesn't have the rear cd-changer as we have the concert II...

Andy, Many moons ago I foolishly bought an ex-fleet A4 B5 2.8 quattro, I ended up shelling out for a rebuild of the differential, it had been ****** from running with different tyres and tread depths all round (that's fleet management for you, only allowed to change the tyre when it's illegal...

I'm told they're not yet fully legal, so it might depend on the gendarme's mood! I'm guessing that on a cold snowy night away from the coffee and doughnuts, his mood may not be at its best...

Anyone used these things? It seems I cannot mount standard snow chains on our A4 as it has 235/45/17 wheels and it fouls something on the inside edge of the wheel arch apparently. I can hire these Spikes Spider things from roofbox.co.uk for a week. My questions are really: 1) Do...
