    New B7 Ordered

    Ahhh the order day! Nice one Chazz...I'm not going to comment about the colour as it is totally personal. I got Quartz Grey and I love it. Just to tell you that I expected my car to arrive late July and I took delivery 28th June....so....be prepared...it might be here sooner than you think. Mine...

    Which One?

    Hey Lon...By Sport you mean S-Line I gather??? If you do...I found the S-Line ride too hard but the SE unacceptably non confident in corners. What I did was order (I know not possible for you ) an SE with Sports Suspension and standard 16" wheels. The car turned out to be just perfect. Excellent...

    Which one??

    I would drive both and then decide...also you might get them to give you the car for 24 hours or so...much better than a 20 minute test drive with the saleguy sitting next to you. I was going for the A3 Sport. I drove an A3 S-line and it was way too harsh for me...again a matter of personal...

    symphony skipping cds

    I would say make sure you try a few brands of cds. Not necessarily music ones...and the other thing you can do is burn at a lower speed. (Eg 8x or 12x)...Also make sure you burn at "Disc-at-once" mode rather than "Track-at-once". I had the same problem with my home cd player (£1000 quad) and...

    Power Steering Fluid

    Amm...you might want to check for leaks...I've had a couple of friends + myself run out of steering fluid...and it aint pretty! Also Slick 50 makes a good fluid that stops small leaks (or at least claims to)

    A4/S4 Symphony/Std speakers Better than Nav+ Bose?!

    Ohhh that would be fun....BOSE would have cost 400 odd on my A4 (didn't go for it)..>B&O would cost 1500 probably....would look good though.

    Bluetooth option for DVD Sat Nav +

    Hi there....I don't exactly understand what you mean by "option for DVD Sat Nav +"... As far as I know the bluetooth car kit is a stand alone extra you add on when you order the car. I have actually ordered it and in the UK it comes as a package with an armrest and multifunction steering wheel...

    A4 B7 2.0 Tdi....sports suspension

    I see what you mean...but as I said...when I drove the S-line it felt way too stiff for me... In any case..the way I thought about it was...i can add the 17inch wheels later but not the sport susp unless you go aftermarket lose warranty which i don't want, as I am keeping the car a LONG time (7...

    A4 B7 2.0 Tdi....sports suspension

    Thanks....Since writting the original message I actually drove a B6 sport (i.e. 16inchers and sport suspension) and thought it was a great mid way solution... I called the dealer and changed the 17 inchers (sniff...they look good ) to sport suspension and the standard SE rims (16 inch). Now...

    A4 B7 2.0 Tdi....sports suspension

    Hi guys.... finalising spec for my car...has anyone ordered/driven an A4 with sports suspension on standard 16 inch wheels? The S-Line seems to stiff while the standard SE seems to soft...wondering whether to add 17 inchers or sports suspension...any ideas?

    Temperamental immobolizer 2.6E cab

    Hi there. I have a 97 A4 with the same problem. So far I've had the everything bar the ignition barrel changed (including ECU and got new keys too!). Still does it intermittently. Car dies after 2 secs and immobiliser lamp flashes....after which ECU lamp flashes and I have to get it to a stealer...

    Funny sort of "creaking"

    Is it an S3 you have??? If so do you even have a throttle cable or is the throttle electronic (it was on my MY2001 A3 1.6 so I assume...) Regarding the creaking...I have a similar thing and it turned out to be one of the rear dampers....and the funny thing is that it wouldn't do it over big...

    Problems removing concert

    Ahhh... I think I know what you need... I had an A3 while living in Cyprus (2001MY). Now the interesting bit is that due to the poor spec of new cars there, the car came with no factory radio...and a cover on top of the radio "hole". (fascia piece if you know what i mean). Now. if you removed...
