    H8 35W "Ice White" Foglights for an Audi A4 B8.5 (Facelift) model

    I know you supply a H11 type "Ice White" bulb suitable for the Audi A4 B8 model but can you supply a H8 type "Ice White" 35W bulb suitable for the Audi A4 B8.5 model ? If so have you any in stock and what's the price (UK delivery)

    2.0 TDI oil pump / balance shaft failure?

    How I wish you were right. Check out this post on the B8 forum (http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/audi-s4-a4-a4-cab-b8-chassis/185774-only-went-oil-change.html) It seems that all 2.0TDi engines up to 09/2009 have the hex drive wear issue....so that's the early B8's as well. All is OK The...

    Fuel filter is located under the car by the drivers door. Requires removal of a couple of plastic panels which is a real pain. Also note that the filter must be primed with fuel before starting the engine. You can do this by activating the fuel pump (insert key) before attaching the front fuel...

    Replacement parking sensor cost?

    Took my A4 2.0 TDI SLine to the Stealers (Ipswich Audi) today for a service and cam belt replacement. I asked them to look at the parking sensors (front & rear) as well as they have failed for the second time now. The first failure was under warranty so I had no idea of the cost. In the 3 years...
