    My parents neighbours "drive"

    Saw a white one - thought it looked very camp. Looked inside - two bald blokes in tight T-shirts. Thought they looked very camp. As I suspected.

    Sensor for Steering Angle (G85): Intermitant Fault

    Sorry, but Nickynibbles is wrong, it is very common for it to come on when disconnecting the battery.

    What do you think of this A4?

    Shame it's not the slightly later version with the bodykit (S-Line/GmBH style).

    Sensor for Steering Angle (G85): Intermitant Fault

    Got this on one of our A4s when we put a new battery in. Needed to recalibrate the steering wheel, do a search on the net to see how.

    High-Mileage TT?

    Mine has done 155K now (53-plate) and it drives like something with 1/3 of the mileage.

    Passenger Airbag Switch - retrofit?

    We had it done on my wife's A4; cost about £500 IIRC and was done by York Audi. It is a B6 model and she had it done when our son was in his rear-facing car seat.

    FSI or TDI that is the question

    We have the non-FSI 2.0 petrol as well as a TDi; the TDi is torquier and more economical but the petrol is quieter and performs just as well though you have to rev it to get the best from it. It's not crap per se, it's just that it is in the shadows of the what is an excellent range of engines.

    V power diesel, again

    Couldn't tell any difference. If you ask the guys on Tyresmoke, they seem to think it's wonderful.

    Bargain HIDs

    Not sure, and I've not yet had time to check properly. I will have another pop at it and see what happens; if I just need a new bulb I might end up fitting the extra kit to the wife's A4 or selling it.

    LPG S3

    I would love a performance car like an S3 or S4 but do 35,000 miles a year so an LPG one is something I have considered. Just put off a bit due to some of the horror stories. With the best will in the world, a chipped TDi just isn't the same.

    LPG S3

    Humberside Police run most of their petrol fleet on LPG. Some run like ****, most run fine.

    Bargain HIDs

    My cheapy kit was from dianeshop (or something similar). They weren't listing any H7s when I looked so I've ordered the replacement from happygirlined (again, something similar). I believe it's the same seller but reg'd under another name. Hopefully it'll be here within the next couple of days.

    Bargain HIDs

    One of my ballasts appears to have gone too - bulb fires up when switched on, then goes out. Didn't ****** last long - maybe a month. I have ordered a new kit from China/HK - same as last ones. Which means I can fix it, and have a spare bulb/ballast in addition to the spare bulb from the...

    HELP...HID kit fitted but....

    Have you sorted it ? I had one like this - I tried bashing it with a flat-bladed screwdriver so that it wedged in the head, and then turning it, but to no avail. In the end I used the 'driver to break the plastic bit on the headlight that was secured by the bolt; it was still held in place...

    York Audi

    Been there several times; utterly useless. My colleague has found the same. One example - car squealing when turning L or R. Described symptoms. Collect car, find they have fitted new PAS pump; drive car out of car park - same symptoms. Go back in, find they haven't even test driven it...

    Was thinking of either G10VRR (almost spells my surname) or G10VBX for mine. Not badly priced either.

    Where's the fuel filter?

    Eye protection would be a good idea too.

    Your old cars ..

    The other day I was wondering what had happened to my old cars. The following day I saw one of them - a BMW I sold a few months ago to a guy in the Manchester area - it was in a car park in York, near where I live. As I drove past it I thought, "that looks just like the one I had" as it had...
