    New S-Line steering wheel fitted

    So are we saying it would physically fit but the airbag is unconfirmed to work at this stage? So it could work and would deploy both stages in one go? Im confused as people are putting them in from a1's of same age, so that must be one option that does fit and work??

    New S-Line steering wheel fitted

    It would be great to know which years of which cars have compatible wheels. eBay has loads but I am struggling to workout whether I am buying something that will fit or not... For example...

    140 tdi remap

    Mine is a remapped 140, but unsure of figures as was done by previous owner and don't have the documentation. Bit irrelvant, but drove another 140 avant not mapped and it felt quite a bit different. Having said that it's an Auto, and really comes to life in Sport.

    Water in footwell

    Portable dehumidifier would be the best to draw moisture out of the cabin, if you can lift the carpet and have it working, even better. Failing that, a few big jars of rice would also be beneficial.

    Water in footwell

    You do not need to remove the Battery to pull that grommet out. I have medium-large hands and managed to reach from the engine bay under the scuttle area and with a bit of tugging, pulled the whole grommet out cleanly. Even just pushing it upwards ever so slightly cleared a pretty puddle from...

    DIY diamond cut rim repair, any suggestions for a temp fix.

    I am in a similar situation, but with a smaller area to deal with, just a couple of nicks. You obviously run the risk of it going balls up, and you'll end up with a larger area that doesn't look right, but I would suggest the finest grade of wet and dry that's been soaking over night, rub the...

    Post pics of your B7 A4/S4!

    Cheers @triggerboo - funnily enough I find them slightly marmite! I like them enough to need something special to replace them, at the same time I wouldn't miss them. Love hate :p

    Amber running lights

    Well I'm running amber side lights at the front and it just passed its MOT no issues what so ever. Funnily enough, something I didn't consider, is that I ignored the fact it's probably the reason my rear brake lights flash with my indicator, and something I didn't anticipate would happen with...

    Balance shaft failure survey - please help us gather facts and figures

    Very much agree here. Unfortunately, even some of the biggest car enthusiast forums experiencing the majority having issues relative to one another, eventually it causes such a degree of panic, it costs the average joe hundreds of pounds to fix said issue on a 'just in case' basis. I am also...

    Brake lights flashing when indicating...

    Well I had thought about that, but what are the chances that would have been coded in? How do I go about getting that sorted, is it a code-able feature on UK spec cars?

    Brake lights flashing when indicating...

    Hi guys, Really random, and something that I hadn't noticed but my friend was following me today and rang me to say every time I indicated, my brake lights also flashed in sync with them... When I put my hazards on, they both flash in sync also.. The only thing that has been done is the...

    Adjusting rear APEX Coilovers

    Hi Guys, Very new to the Audi scene, so do excuse me for such a nooby question. Background: a4 b7 avant. Purchased with APEX Coilovers. Slammed far too low for the wheel/height combo, so as a temp measure, need to raise it a tad, and look in to the longer term solution later on.. Current...

    Rear Door Wont Unlock

    When you say it wont unlock from the key, are you sure the 'child' lock is not turned on, which can be turned off by the key once the door is open? It's just on the inside of the door and can be seen once open. Might sound stupid, but it confused me at first and the previous owner didn't tell me...
