What have you done to your Audi A4 B7 today?

Release the tension and remove the fan belt from the compressor. Remove the 3 compressor mounting bolts so the compressor drops down. You can support the compressor if you want but I just left it hanging while I did it. There’s a big circlip that secures the front plate to the main pulley, remove that first. Then you need a 7mm socket and ratchet along with a strap spanner. Wrap the strap spanner around the pulley, using the 7mm socket and ratchet place them on the end of the compressor shaft. Then turn the compressor shaft clockwise while counterholding the main pulley with the strap spanner. Once you crack it off you’ll be able to unscrew it by hand. Once the front plate is off there’s another circlip securing the rest of the pulley to the compressor.
Thanks Sidrick. I’ll have to have a look at the sensor tomorrow. Do you know if it need to be de-gassed before changing it?

This arrived yesterday, supposed to be good stuff. Just need to get the finger out and finish the last two wheels and let them sit for a couple of weeks before giving them a bit of a polish.
Which one? Can’t decide, love the black ones but bit too offset with 245/35/20 and tyre wear on arch if hit the pot hole, probably needs change tyre to 225/30/20 if want keep them. Silver ones with 245/30/20 but so far after test drive no bangs or wearing tyre on arch because bit lower.

A bit of a no brainer for me chap, only one set that look good and they are not black.
They would look great on a black avant bus aswell 
What rim width size and offset etc are they?

Plugged VCDS into my car today and Sidrick was right. Short in the high pressure sensor. So new one been ordered.
Removed the bumper to attempt to repair a couple of little cracks in the grill before spraying it
Nope , still not right to be honest.
Better than the two tone black and white ones but not a patch on the silver alloys.
But as we allways say , it is your car and your personal choice , what works for one person may not work for someone else.
For me the style of the Chinese rims doesn't suit the car, just a way to fussy design.
Still got my misfire after changing the sparks and coils. I have ordered a new PCV as that is knackered so hoping that could be causing the issue.

Defiantly the rear ones for me, fronts look like they belong on some tarts range rover.
New Michelin pilot sports 4’s and a service for the avant yesterday, with a carbon clean. Today I thought I’d treat my rear wheel drive lovely to a service and some new rubber too.

Fitted grille, black mesh, may put a black badge on, not decided yet. Rear springs all fitted, fronts ran into a problem, top bolt on upright are seized solid, so off to garage tomorrow unfortunately. Had one upright replaced for mot in December, and its stupid solid already. Hopefully can sort and fit my shocks and springs.

You can change the front dampers and springs without touching that pinch bolt, that is one bolt that you should avoid touching unless you have no other choice.
Do enlighten me, please. Is it drop the top plate and undo the other end of the top arms? Or some other way?
Heat and wind it out from the other side I believe for the bolt if it snapped.
Wd40 on all other parts and they are movable
This nice and clear you tube vid shows things very well.
I used it once then every time since about 4 times to date, so easy and quick aswell.
Ignore the brand, the method is the same whatever you use dampers/springs or coilovers.

Always thought your car was black from the profile picture, I have a soft spot for dark metallic blue looks awesome.
Jerusalem wept.... maybe get some Audi a4 allroad suspension

Don’t suppose you have the part number to hand? I’ve got a fault showing but it’s short to B+. Do you think a new sensor would sort this?

I ordered it from GSF online. Was meant to be £75 but they have a sale on and got it for £30. My part number is: 268VG0380
But I recommend going on their site and entering your reg and searching for air con pressure switch. To make sure you get the right part for your car.
