My wife opened the boot on her Allroad as normal this morning and went to shut it and it wouldn't shut. The hook thingy thats on a spring is out to accept the closing bar but it doesn't catch/lock closed. I tried WD40 on it!!! Also, when you pull the lever to open it you can hear the electric...

Whist playing with my climate controls. I found that you can control BOTH temperature settings at once by either of the + and - buttons. I'm sorry if this is basic knowledge for everyone but having the car for over two years I've not come across this in my manual, or elsewhere, before - and...

Hi. In the past the esp light on the dash has come on when it should do - when I pull away at roundabouts too fast etc. But the other day I noticed a lot of wheel spin and thought thats odd. So I tried to wheel spin off or break suddenly and couldn't get the ESP light on the dash to come on...

Hi. I've had some trouble sorting this problem for the last 4 weeks. A4 1.8T Cab. The Engine Management Light came one one day coming home, it still drove the same tho, but called the RAC and within 10 mins, arrived and said it was a sensor that controls the fuel mixture as it was reading that...

Last weekend my car's engine management came on. 1.8T sport. After the RAC came 20 mins later it wasn't a bad coil pack (as I thought) but was a fuel sensor that was making it run lean... along with another fault code I was told was related to the 1st one (not got codes as they are in my car at...

When its hot and dry - when I wind down or up the drivers side window it goes squeek, squeek, squeek, squeek! Has anybody had this and resolved it by oiling something behind the door trim/inside the door mechanisms? How easy is it to remove the door panel? Cheers

Has anyone had any problems with their windscreen wipers working quite slow? Even when on the high setting theres not much difference in speed, it propably does even get up to normal speed! I've lifted the wipers out of the way and turned them on and its still the same. Does this mean the...

Hi - Last night my drivers door would not lock with the remote but would manually with the key. The other door and boot locks as normal, but the alarm does not set (no indicator signal) and drivers door would open as normal. If I manually lock the drivers door and use the remote the alarm will...

Hi, came to work this morning and after driving for 10 minutes notived that the needle on the temperature guage was still reading 50 and not 90! Can I presume that this could just be a simple thing to fix like replacing a sensor in the engine bay? The engine is running normally and performs the...

I saw on a thread (somewhere!) that you can buy these B8 style headlights for the B6 and thought that it would be a good idea to photoshop them and see what they look like on the car. Hope you don't mind Juss.

Just for you 'soon to be' mothers or fathers who were wondering if a pushchair/buggy would fit in an A4 Cabriolet! Here is our Bugaboo Cameleon. I looked all over the net for reference to the right buggy for the A4 Cab or if this buggy would fit in the boot and found nothing. So just for the...

What are the advantages of getting VAGCOM? Will I just be able to use it to diagnose a problem when I eventually get one or is there some fun stuff I can change? Is it only going to cost me the price of the lead as the software is a free download? Cars: 02 2.5 diesel Allroad / 04 1.8T Cab...

While my car is in the bodyshop I've been given a 57' Merc E220 CDI Executive 4d Tip Auto HIRE CAR. Had it 6 days. I was quite looking forward to driving a new Merc for a few days but I have found a number of things that just niggle me and few nice touches: Cons. I'm always having to close...

Can someone let me know if you have got rear parking sensors fitted as an option when the car was new and not added afterwards? If so, are they different to the ones they supply as an add-on afterwards ie more flush/smooth to the bumper? The separate ones that you can buy from the stealers are...

I recently purchased my A4 cab with the RS4 9 spoke Rims in a pretty poor condition. But I didn't let this put me off buying it as I thought I would have to worry about kerbing them myself! But I now have the oppertunity to have them refurbished while its in the bodyshop. Is there anything that...

So... how easy is it to fit genuine Audi rear Parking Sensors on an A4 Cab? I'm having the rear bumper replaced and thought it would be the best opportunity to fit them. I couldn't find a thread on it for an A4 Cab. Also - Does the 'Audi rear kit' come with the cutting tool or instructions to...

Hi - I was waiting in roadworks traffic on Tues morning when a kid who had been driving for 2 weeks skidded into the back of my A4 Cabriolet. His car was an R reg Peugeot 106 and has been written off! Sorry, no pictures of my car as the back looks exactly the same as it did before! The damage...

Whats the best way to get white bird poo off the canvas roof? I've waited for it to dry and had a quick go at trying to brush it off with a medium brush. But its still there!

Hi - The interior of my roof is a bit dirty down the sides. Not sure what type of dirt just looks a bit grimey. I've not had the car long and was told it never leaked into the car... which it hasn't the 2 months I've had it. I was going to ask the local valeter to have a go at cleaning it...

I know - another Tyre pressure question! Sorry, have searched but can't find the correct answer. RS4 18" 9 spoke 8.5J Pirelli P Zero 135/40 ZR18 95Y on 3 wheels! 135/40 ZR18 91Y on 1 rear wheel! Please tell me what pressure should I put in as the 36psi all round (as suggested inside door)...
