Hi guys, first post so I might as well introduce myself...
My names Ash and i'm 16 (i'll be driving soon though)... My dad's just purchased a Audi A4 B7 55 plate Multitronic Automatic (I think its multitronic, Its a "CRV" gearbox iirc and has 7 gears when put into semi-auto). Its a 2.0 TDI with 140 BHP.
Right... so the problems and questions.
a) The car has a weird rattle when the air condition is switched off. I assume on the Audi that the AC pump is constantly on? On the last two cars we have, we have the choice to run the pump. On this, it seems it switches on regardless, even on high temp's.

Edit : The Youtube account is my mates... i'm just borrowing it... ignore his other vids... we were very young :|
Thats the control panel. I assumed that models with AC had a little "a" on the Re-circ bit?
Thats a vid showing the sound... Sorry about the quality... but if you turn up your speakers, you can just hear what I mean.
b) I have a "Concert" stereo. I don't know if its concert 1,2,3 or any other? I'v never seen any other headunit so I don't know the differences.
What are the possibilities with this unit? Can I attach the official iPod dock to it? or a CD changer?
And has it got pre-outs?
I know the system has a sub in the parcel shelve (what do you call them in a saloon) if that helps. I have a bit of experience in ICE. I'v already done up my 206 and this is hopefully next (though for standards, it sounds pretty good compared to other cars).
c) How easy is it to add a multifunction steering wheel? It really needs one
d) Is there anything I should know/check? The cars done 100k but personally, I think thats nothing on a Diesel.
e) How easy is it to upgrade the body kit to a s-line one? Well atleast the bumpers and grills. I don't want to touch the suspension unless theres something that makes it even more comfortable.
f) Thanks for all replies in advance Much much appreciated. and sorry for the essay
