Has anybody got pictures of the Palm screens installed?

Strange, mine behaves in the opposite manner, the gear changes seem to be more clunky with the oil being cold and gets smoother as it warms up. Not to sure about using a different oil than spec'd for the gearbox, damn things seem to be very sensitive...

I'd have to agree with Digger1, this doesn't sound like any of the normal multitronic problems.

Hi everyone Hope you can help out with this: The sensors have started to misbehave and now beep when there is nothing near and then choose not to beep when there is. I've read somewhere (probably here) that they can fail, and replacing them is two bolts on the bottom of the bumper and then...

Sort of thought that was the case, just have to spend the money on something else!:uhm:

Has anybody remapped the 2.5TDi with a multitronic gearbox? I've read that (some of) the problems with the gearbox are caused by the fact that the engine output is just a bit too close to the limit of the 'box... not too interested in the power side, but more the useability and of course any...

Have to agree with quattrojames, time to find a good garage to check it out... If you're brave, you can order a refurb unit from someone like this: http://www.bba-reman.com/catalogue/Products.aspx?category=816 and they'll knock £150 for sending your old one to them. All you need to do is...

Swarcup: thanks, but i've got a black interior. Digger1: PM sent! Everyone else: Thanks for your input...

Obviously the quality isn't going to be as good, but are the OEM armrests 10x better??? That's my problem... If i replace it every year, i'm still good till sometime in 2020... Hopefully we'll all have jet-packs by then :jester:

Hi everyone I'm looking at installing an armrest in my Avant, but have been a bit shocked at the OEM prices. A quick flick round fleabay came up with some no-name alternatives, such as...

My (completely untouched) Avant: FWD, 1590 & 155 gives :- Power to Weight: 99 bhp/ton :sadlike: 0-60: 10.2 0-100: 33.5 60-100: 23.3 1/4 Mile ET: 18.90 1/4 Mile Terminal: 76 Dragstrip 1/4 Mile ET: 18.60 Dragstrip 1/4 Mile Terminal: 78 So currently the worst posted - hmmmm... New...

Lovely looking wheels (and Audi were pushing them after christmas over here) but just a little bit too big...

Damn, something else to add to the wish list... :thumbsup:

Looking at their website, there seems to be some sort of push client on the card that will send the pictures to a predefined location when in range of specified wi-fi networks. So it looks like it runs the wrong way round for updating playlists. Neat idea tho'...

Anything I have to be careful about before going mad with a screwdriver?
