    Condensation on inside windscreen

    Just to add a bit more confusion into the mix, I've got the steamed up glass too, however my A4 B6 Avant also has condensation on the metal inner skin of the roof above the head lining. And it's not as a result of sunroof drain issues, I don't have one. (Sunroof that is!) My air con is...

    A4 Courtesy Lights not working

    swarcup, thanks, I had considered the rear window mechs for 23, guess I was clutching at straws, especially after one of the threads I found pointed at 23 for the lights, don't really fancy pulling the lock mechs out, but looks as though that's where I'm heading. Heyho!

    A4 Courtesy Lights not working

    Jake, thanks, I've read several posts now, mainly to do with VW, but also Audi about dry/cracked joints on the door lock pcb. The microswitches are prone to failing in this manner, affecting all from Central locking to courtesy lights everything in between. I came across another thread that...

    A4 B6 Avant Tail-light rubber seals

    Hi,wondering if anybody knows if there's a source for the rubber seals fitted to the top edge of the Avant tail-light. I have one loose and the nearside is missing and whilst I don't think water will do too much damage running past the back of the lights, I'd rather not find out the hard way...

    Misfire in 130 PD a4 at 1500-1800 revs

    Had a similar problem on a 2.5ltr - not sure if it is the same thing, but the dealer suggested I had a problem with an engine mount, or more precisly a sensor on an engine mount; it cuts the ignition, (mis-fire?) to rectify vibration in the cylinder block. He went on to say that this was...
