Hi all,
I've got a 2009 B8 2.0TDI which I enjoy driving, and love the fuel economy.. it's not very well specc'd however (by AU standards anyway), but today I have just picked up wholesale another 09 B8, this one is 2.0T Quattro with some nice gear (however mechanically poor)
I'm going to sell the 2.0T cheap for spares or repairs essentially, but I wanted to upspec my A4 a bit if I can...I've seen a few guides online about puddle lights/door lights etc, so will probably move those over, the other things I am keen to swap are:
Headlights (I've got halogen so upgrade to Xenon's
Sports Seats
Vent Lights/Glovebox Light
Bluetooth
Auto Dimming mirror (The donor car has auto high beam as well, but I understand to swap that I would need to have CP removed from the module so that would rule that out)
And some various other trim that is straight forward... so without further ado, my questions are:
Headlights - Can I swap these relatively easily given I have all the parts I require to get them going (I would like to avoid swapping the bumper so could forgo the washing function, I don't think this is mandated in AU), and will the donor car take the halogens without too much drama?
Sports Seats - hoping this is straight forward, but some guides mention there can be issues - I already have an electric drivers seat so I'm hoping it's plug and play (Neither car has memory seats)
Vent Lights - are the cars prewired to the vent (ie can I plug them in somewhere?)
Bluetooth - Getting to the module is easy, is it easy enough to get the harness out or should I just buy a new one (I understand there is no CP on the CANBUS system that both cars have)
Auto Dimming Mirror - Will this cause no end of warnings on the donor car? (Whilst the donor car has some issues, I don't want to sell it looking like the dashboard is celebrating Xmas)
I can't think of anything else the car has that is worth swapping, but open to ideas!
Cheers
