    head lights adjuster

    I recently did mine but can't for the life of me remember which is which! I do remember it being hard to see the left right movement but up down was obvious. You could count the number of turns you do and if you've moved the wrong one turn it back the same number of turns to reset it.

    Cross-eyed headlights - problem solved!

    Quite some time ago I posted a problem with my main beam lighting up the side of the road and not the area in front of me. I then realised that my headlights were totally crossed over so the left one was illuminating the right side of the road and vice versa. I was able to adjust them up and...

    bulbs..

    I have no experience of the other bulbs but the Osram ones are pretty good, they project the light a good distance down the road. They are no where near as bright as HIDs but better than normal bulbs in my opinion. I also think they fall foul of the law for not being E marked as I could find...

    bulbs..

    I recently changed my Osram Nightbreaker Plus bulbs (after one blew) for 65w Osram Rally bulbs. They are not road legal as they are over 55w but they fine from outside and certainly not dazzling like HID conversions. They produce a nice crisp white light (very similar to xenon lights when close...

    Road Rage advice needed... to report or keep shtum?

    I am pretty sure that there is still a form that can be filled in and sent to the registered owner of a vehicle asking them to nominate who was driving at the time of an offence. This is not the same as the NIP (notice of intended prosecution) that can only be sent out for certain offences such...

    Road Rage advice needed... to report or keep shtum?

    I would report it. In my experience people don't tend to 'go after' people who have reported them. If they do they usually know them or it's a bit more involved than a normal incident. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but it wouldn't put me off reporting someone. And anyway as Zerocool has said...

    Hi, new Avant SE owner with a gaggle of niggles..

    A mate plugged his fault reader in to my car which showed the fault I have that displays the same light was the front right and rear left ABS sensors. I'm not sure why the garage say they need the car for a week to send off the ABS module unless that could give the same fault code. They are...

    what fuel economy are you receiving from your car

    I was expecting low 30s so am gutted with 25 to 28. Having a few other issues with the car and am beginning to wish I never got it! I love the look of it and love the half leather/alcantara interior but it judders at 40mph and above (even with the clutch dipped) and apparently isn't the wheel...

    Hi, new Avant SE owner with a gaggle of niggles..

    My 03 Avant sport has the same issues with the lights. The garage have had it 3 times and failed to sort it so it's going back again and they said they'll need it for a week to send off a module for repair. It's the garage I got the car from, not an Audi garage. I have 18s on mine and they fill...

    what fuel economy are you receiving from your car

    My 2.0 Avant does 25 mpg, with a bit of motorway driving I got it up to 28. Reading posts in this thread I'd get the same from a 3.0 Quattro!

    Audi A4 Avant 3.0 V6 Quattro 2003

    Lovely car, looks the same as mine before you modded it, same wheels and same black / charcoal colour. Mines only a 2.0 petrol though and that seem thirsty enough! I'd love that spoiler for mine.

    HID bulbs in main beams.

    I tried it in my old MG ZS and didn't like it. They were so bright that the light reflecting off road signs was pretty dazzling! The time they took to warm up wasn't too bad from what I remember (but it was years ago I did this). I only tried them once then swapped them back to halogens. They...

    Cleaned the B6 today

    Ah, I did think after I posted that it may be blue! Still a lovely colour.

    Cleaned the B6 today

    Looks very nice indeed. I need to give mine a good clean and polish. I wash it in the wash bay at work but need to get some polish on it. I think mine is the same colour as yours, looks black but seems to be a really dark graphite. It's a great colour.

    Main Beam Adjustment

    Thanks, I'll give that a try. It was fine before hand so no idea why the lever would have moved.
