I had standard SE spec on my A4 TDI Avant, and swapped out for H&R 40mm lowering springs and Bilstein shockas all round. My partner thinks its too hard but I think its perfect. SE was way too wallowy. Just need to do some front bushes now :-(

It depends also whether your car is on long life servicing, as the oil for that is more expensive, I got mine from the dealer as they checked the service computer to see whether my car should be on long life. The oil wasnt cheap cant remember how much exactly, and also, they dont recommend...

Hi all, Had my A4 SE avant lowered by 40mm some time ago and have realised my tyres are now wearing unevenly. Trouble is that Ive been to 3 tyre places which I have used in the past and they say they cant do it as its too low? Has anyone had experience of a good place in Glasgow area which...

Hi, Yes the alternator pulley wheel has an inbuilt clutch which should only allow the wheel to turn freely one way, and this eventually starts to seize. This causes the alternator belt to jump around violently, and if you look at the front of the engine while running, the tensioner on the belt...

Hi all, I bought a lead that came with VAGCOM on a disk, and have taken ages to get round to installing it, and now cant find the disk! I have just serviced the car and now need to reset the service counter. Id like to do it with VAGCOM as doing it vis the dash buttons bumps it off long life...

Hi, Did this to my 2002 A4 Avant. Strictly speaking the parts guy is correct, the upper front bumper is different on the s-line than it is on the standard, hence the reason you need to modify the new lower bumper spoiler to fit. A drill, a few cable ties, a hack saw and a few stainless bolts...

mine were pretty badly marked when I got it as the previous owner had a roof rack on permanently. Polished strips round the windows were also pretty white. A few good polishes with t-cut sorted it out then a good going over with megs tech wax and they have looked great since.

Hey, I thought about various things and have now got a 1.9 TDI 130, which can easily be chipped to 160 - 170bhp, although with the torque the diesel has, I find it enough for me. If you do a lot of miles, Id go for the diesel, and the 1.9 or 2.0 depending on age, as the 2.5 can have heavy...

Hi guys, Got it sorted by just persuading it out from above! Had to make some small cuts in the housing but fits back in no problem. Thanks for the help

Hello! I have a broken front cigarette lighter in the centre console of my B6 Avant, and need to remove the old one and fit the new one which Ive ordered. i cant see how to remove it, and am thinking that it must come out from the back of the centre console, which I assume means that I have to...

I have a tdi130 avant se and I have 40mm H&R springs on and they are great I dont catch anything. If anything mine sits lower at the back. I posted pics on here under a post called "finally got lowers painted" I also fitted bilstein sport shocks tooand it drives brilliantly, not too hard just a...

My B6 Avant came factory with 17" audisport alloys and have 235/45/17s as standard if it helps anyone! :laugh:

The guy charges £280 for the colour coding and £25 per wheel for the refurb. Not bad really, the paint is excellent.

If you google for a pic of an s-line and then for a pic of an s4 u can see that the s4 ones stick out a fair bit all along their length where the s-line ones taper in and are more subtle. Strange that they r cheaper though!

Its actually known as the batcave, and the butler keeps it in good nick :yes:

Ive fitted H&R lowering springs which I bought off ebay. Mine was a standard Avant 1.9 TDI SE, and the suspension was very bouncy and wallowy. The springs I fitted aparently lower by 40mm and have transformed the car. No problems with speed bumps or anything yet, and I have an underground car...

Hi, I think they were an option as my 2002 SE has only electric fronts. The only thing to watch is to let the engine heat up and idle, and check its not vibrating through the car too badly, Ive heard this is common and mine suffers slightly. Also suspension can be quite wallowy, and check for...

Ive had mine (2002 / 51) for about 6 months. TDI 130 SE Avant with 115000. Had to change the pulley belt wheel on the alternator as it siezes and squeals. Ive now fitted Lowered suspension, H&R springs off ebay for £50 and £150 for Bilsteins shocks. Colour coded the lowers too and refurbed...

Is there any probs with extra heat inside the standard lights?

Yeah its turned out well. Not any more plans as of yet other than a good clean. Ive ordered S-line badges too as I think they just set it off in silver. I also wanted the rear roof lip spoiler but cant seem to find them. The guy refurbed the wheels which were original on the car, but I think...
