    Which Android HU to replace B5 Symphony

    Didn't want to clog up the Android RNSE thread with such a specific question. Has anyone fitted a decent Android HU to a B5 in place of a factory fitted Symphony HU? Most of the units I see for sale currently mention "A3/S3" or "A4/S4/RS4" fitment, but that will obviously be the newer models...

    Fitting saloon seats in an Avant

    Sold my saloon seats to a pleasant chap today and he asked if I could fit them. No problem, said I. It had only taken me about 20 mins to fit my seats recently... but I didn't realise how much more could be involved fitting saloon seats in an avant. First off, the bracket for the 60/40 split...

    My DIY S4 "Super Funtime 'Modstoration'"

    Thought this thread would be of interest on here. I've enjoyed putting it together, and have been updating it over on SRS for a while now (yes, it's one of those seemingly never ending projects! :)). If you're a member on SRS, then no need to scroll any further, as it's a carbon copy of my...

    Seats for Sportback

    A mate from work is looking to replace the cloth seats from his Sportback as they've bobbled after 70k. Sounds a bit poor, the cloth seats from my B5 were immaculate after 90k! Anyway, what straight fit options are there for the 8P Sportback? Are they the same interior as the hatchback (other...

    Blue Thunder S4 Engine Pull - The Movie!

    Yes, yes, i'm a sad individual. I decided to document the novice DIY engine pull process for those who are interested in an easy to digest format. This is my third engine pull. It was far quicker than the previous two jobs, and only the second worst one in terms of damage caused (I forgot to...

    Replacing Concert Head Unit with aftermarket

    Hi guys, after some fairly straight forward advice. If I buy an aftermarket Head Unit to replace my gash volume Concert (non-Bose), will it work straight out of the box or will I need loom adaptors, etc?

    Major loss of power on Motorway - 1.9 TDI

    My sister phoned me panicking yesterday as her car decided to lose power on the motorway. She said she had been travelling along at 90, then all of a sudden it lost power and wouldn't go quicker than 75. She called a couple minutes later to say even with her foot to the floor it had slowed...

    "Burning smell" when accelerating hard in 1.9TDi

    Hi folks, my sister is complaining of a burning smell when she puts her foot down in her standard 1.9TDi. She says the smell doesn't last long, and with 'normal' driving, she doesn't smell aything. It's on around 90,000 miles now, so my initial thought is it's the clutch. Can anyone think of...

    Rear wiper stays on

    My sister's A3 had developed an annoying fault. Sometimes when she uses the rear wiper it will stay on even when she turns the stalk off, scraping across the dry window and getting lots of funny looks from other drivers as she drives for mile after mile with it flapping away. Yesterday when...

    A lot of air blowing out of the oil filler on 1.8T. Is this normal?

    My sister's bloke has just bought himself a B7 Cab 1.8T. He knows feck all about cars and only picked it up yesterday and I took a look over it today. First thing I noticed was that the coolant reservoir was virtually empty. No smoke from the exhaust and no noticeable leaks from anywhere, a...

    Is pressurised air from oil filler on 1.8T normal?

    My sister's bloke has just bought himself a hairdresser's car, a B6 cabrio with a 1.8T. I assume this is the same 1.8T as the B5?? Anyway, he knows feck all about cars and only picked it up yesterday and I took a look over it today. First thing I noticed was that the coolant reservoir was...

    Pressure testing without a compressor

    Looks like the S4 could have another boost leak. I've got my own pressure tester, but no compressor, so it means I have to either go to a garage forecourt (which are usually too noisy for you to hear small leaks) or head to somewhere like a Kwik-**** who aren't always willing to let you play...
