    EURO CAR PARTS 50% OFF

    Car parts4less is the online version of eurocarparts. If you look at both sites in tandem they have the same part numbers etc. Carparts4less seem to offer the prices without the daft promotional codes. Hope this helps. Dougie

    Software update for Power Steering - not happy !

    This is good to know guys. We got a face lift A5 sportback a couple of months ago to replace our A5 coupe, and I have felt from the very beginning that the car wandered in the straight ahead position. I think I will be phoning the dealer this morning to see if the update was carried out on our...

    Smooth Diffuser & Exhaust Delete

    Ahh, carbon fibre, then I do think that will look good. It will clean up the back end due to the loss of the tail pipes and the illusion that the panel is not there at all. Looking forward to the pics as always, and has been said before you are doing the work to a great standard. As for taste...

    Smooth Diffuser & Exhaust Delete

    Hmmm, props to you mate for all the work your doing, but I dont really like this one. Maybe im just an old f4rt thats stuck in his ways but I think it makes the back end look too bulky. Will it be getting plasti dipped the same colour as the car? If it was black it may look like its not there...

    Audi driving experience day

    Ben, invite came through the post, I just assumed it was because both my wife and I have Audis and use the local main dealer. Chris, it is a spectacular car. The one I was driving was painted in a matt blue, with contrasting carbon fibre panel and mirrors as well as ceramic brakes. The test...

    Audi driving experience day

    Was lucky enough to get invited along to an event at Audi held at Hopetoun House in Scotland. Got a chance to drive a couple of cars that we have been looking at Q5, Q7 etc. But...... Drove the R8 V10 plus......what a car! I have never driven, or expect ever will, drive anything as fast in my...

    Turbo gone at 52k possible??

    Sorry to hear that mate, I was reading through this and until I got to your last post thought i could have given you some encouraging news. My turbo made pretty much the same noise and when I spoke with Audi mechs about this they said that the turbo actually is designed to do this when the load...

    Audi a4 170 2.0 tdi problems

    Good news mate, hope it stays ok for you. I had the entire manifold replaced under warranty and the lack of power at motorway speeds was resolved. In my case the plastic diaphram inside the manifold had broken and is part of the entire assembly which was changed under warranty. Dougie

    Audi a4 170 2.0 tdi problems

    HI mate, Obviously with you looking on this forum you can see there are multiple issues with these cars that can lead to the sort of symptoms you are experiencing. I think you would be most within your rights to say that it has only been one week since you had the injectors replaced and now it...

    Audi A4 B7 2.0 TDI PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS.... HELP!!!!

    Thats weird Nathan, I have been having the same problem. The noise does not always happen, it is most noticible when going over light bumps or rough surfaces but when larger bumps are hit it doesnt make the noise. As a result Audi have changed a driveshaft as they said it had excessive play...

    Grinding Rubbing Noise when foot offf accelerator

    Stab in the dark here Wrath as a noise could be anything I supose, at one of my many visits to Audi the technician told me that the noise I was hearing is the turbo spooling in the opposite direction to its normal direction between gearchanges, it is part of the design apparently. That is for a...

    Audi A4 B7 2.0 TDI PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS.... HELP!!!!

    Hi mate, it was free, I have a used car warranty from Audi. But, I think the part is in the region of 500 pounds plus VAT and fittting, so quite an expensive bit. Like most bits! That said, I still have the lumpy idle even after all the parts that have been replaced. DOugie

    Audi A4 B7 2.0 TDI PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS.... HELP!!!!

    As promised an update on mine. Got the car back from Audi. Apparently there is a small plastic diaphram that sits inside the inlet manifold on the 170 engine which works under vaccuum. The end of this can be seen to the front of the manifold but the majority of it is internal. It appears from...

    would anyone advise me NOT to store my DTM in garage over winter?

    You used to be able to get "laid up" insurance on classic cars or restricted mileage policies, not sure if this is still something that can be done, or if it is available on modern cars. Best bet is to ask your current insurer. Would it also not be covered by your garage insurances? Just a...

    RS4 Black Optics Grill on Lava Grey #pics#

    Thanks Tabsy, the wheels are OZ Michaelangelo 10's. Had a look at their new range and there are some beautiful split rim wheels in it, if I had the spare cash floating about I would be sorely tempted. Razza, I will try to measure the area needed for each grill, if there is enough for two sets I...
