Been a long while! My daughter was born 14th of May, been occupied with her n family. Neglected the car, recent MOT Passed. Needing new brake pads, discs, cv boots, cv joint, rear bearings, rear tyres & a spring!

I still have brake discs & pads to replace as my fronts are warped! and have to find brighter footwell and puddle lights, of course a service is due as well, need to replace the nearside mirror as the heating element is not working anymore. I also need to replace the headlamps which I tried...

It's been a while since I updated this blog, not much has been done in terms of modding, been pestering around with fixing a misfire issue, 1) First I replaced the Spark Plugs which made no difference 2) Then the Ignition Leads but while changing the leads I noticed three of of the connections...

Lately my car has been losing power under load, most of the time it sounds like a tractor the past 6 days & very high shaking of engine, sounds fine on idle at around 900-1000 rpm, if it exceeds that then shaking & tractor sounds. here's what I've done so far: Cleaned injectors Changed x4...

Grille came and S Line emblems got cracking straight away, not much to say so pictures will speak for me. Emblems I put in front of the 2x Side Indicators and 1x under the A4 Emblem on the tailgate. Grille Before: New with emblem:

The replacement Central Locking/Convenience Unit came today:superman:, more or less straight forward refitting. So far I can only reprogramme one remote at a time, I have two, can anyone shed light on why this is? :think:Also I've unlocked the window open/close easter egg, would be sick if I...

Small Update. I Had to replace the indicator lamp as it was broken and kept popping out, opted for smoked ones, look nice and match the car colour well. Old One Smoked one Replaced Fog Bulbs as well all white lights now except high beams which are still Gold Vision Yellows Old Gold Vision...

I currently run 15x6.5J I think, on 195/65/15 on a B5 Want to change to bigger wheels from a B6, these are the specs: Offset: 42 Wheel size: 16x7J Bore: 57.1mm Tyre Size: 205/55/16 will they fit? also will they stick out a little or be in?

Got some rain spoilers for my mirrors, easy to fit and look good.

Ah thanks for that, 225/45 it is then, I see what you mean about the speedo, a site with those dimensions showed up as 29.99 when at 30.00. Much better result.

ET confirmed with seller is 45, they ran on 235/40/17, I currently run 195/65/15. Should be a straight swap hopefully, seen a couple of tyre conversion sites & a garage, the speedometer should run normal with those new dimensions.

I was playing around with the cruise control stick because it looked loose & floppy, twisted the stalk tighter potentially broken it as there is no more resistance, funny enough the idle seems better and the gas pedal doesn't have a mind of its own anymore.

The dealer stated the previous owner serviced it every mot so last service would be September 2013, haven't had it scanned yet. I did some snooping today around the air intake, throttle body etc, I noticed under the air filter cover some plugs, one that caught my eye was a Sagem gadget with a...

I've been looking to get some bigger wheels preferably 17", I currently have stock 15s. I've found the wheel I want for sale but they come without tyres, a) Will they be ok to put on my B5? b) What tyre size would be correct not to affect the speedometer? c) The seller hasn't responded to me...

Thoroughly happy with the results! Map lights aren't extremely bright which I LOVE! both front and back one illuminate dim which is what I wanted, and the high power courtesy lights compensate very well! Have a look Front Maps Rear Maps Full Power Maps & Courtesy! Now I bought some new...
