    Possible Problem Buying Car

    If the deal has been done, I'd be interested to know the outcome. Sounds like the vendor played it pretty straight, and the car will go into the winter with a sound cooling system.

    Replacement for A4 Cab

    :confused:Time has come to replace my much-loved 2.5 Tdi Cab. Max budget is £30k, must be auto and diesel. One of the most important features of its replacement must be a good satnav/ipod system with the display at a high dash level and intuitive controls. Must also have high-spec speaker system...

    Cabrio boot box

    Hi, second time of asking, thanks to earlier replies but still need some guidance. The cable on my boot size box has come adrift, local Audi were asked to quote for likely cost to repair or replace, but would only quote for a replacement box fitted for £500. So, if any kind soul knows how best...

    Computer Speed-up programs

    Has anyone tried any of the programs that are claimed to speed up computer and internet performance? Some sound quite respectable, others a bit "iffy" Haven't found a review that sounds impartial, any thoughts? Thanks, Ian:think:

    A4 Cabrio battery replacement

    Thanks for the advice and support, I found it a bit of a struggle to lift out, but, having taken note of the comments, placed a piece of ply over the engine cover (to spread load and prevent damage) which helped considerably. Mission accomplished. Thanks again, Ian

    A4 Cabrio battery replacement

    HELP!!! Could some kind soul give guidance as to how to remove and replace the battery on my 2003 A4 Cabrio 2.5 V6 Tdi. It is not clear how the battery is clamped into position, and I do not wish to dismantle any more of the car than I have to. Thank you in advance for any advice. Ian:think:

    boot wont shut

    Hi, I had a similar problem, and changed the actuator. Others have stripped and lubricated actuators successfully. From memory the part was about £27, fitting was straightforward and took about 20 minutes. Ian

    Cabrio hood compartment

    Hi, has anyone replaced the cable that operates the movable hood storage box? I didn't want to start ripping out trim panels unnecessarily (don't actually know if the cable is broken or just dislodged) Thanks, Ian

    Looking to buy A4 cabriolet, ant advice

    I have a 2.5 V6 Tdi and love the low-end grunt. A friend has an Avensis D4D and he was amazed at the way the A4 accelerates. Mine is Multitronic and my only grouch so far is that, if you try and hold it on the brake, feed in some throttle, and release brake, it sits and thinks about it for a...

    AYY4 Registration number

    I have this number currently on my 03 A4 Cabrio, AYY4 The "A" is styled like the "Audi A" with a slight extension at top left, looks pretty on the vehicle, but I will be changing to an A5 Cabrio when they arrive, so it will be somewhat redundant. Might end up staying on the vehicle, but if...

    Dension BTA1000 Bluetooth

    I fitted mine to Navplus CD and it works fine, sorry if that isn't much help. Can only suggest you go back to professionals and ask them to try again. Only caveat is that Dension instructions are very, very minimal.

    Oh No! My Alloys

    I had the same problem with ATS, the fitter and manager of the branch came out with a load of rubbish (I might have compromised with a good deal on tyres or similar) but the area manager arranged to buy a set of steel wheels, fit them to my Range Rover while mine were being refinished (they were...

    Audi Symphony & iPod Connection Options

    Fitted one of these this week, car is 2003 A4 Cab with RNS D NavPlus (which has 20 pin connector) Fitting was a pain, but only because the installation instructions omitted to state that the hanging black cable on the replacement loom must be connected to the chassis of the radio/nav unit. Now...

    Alcantara

    Hi, my Alcantara seat centre panel on driver's seat (77,000 mls) suffered from a form of "bobbling" with ridges of excess pile. I have improved matters somewhat with judicious use of a suede brush, but have heard of a gadget for removing "bobbles" from knitwear, also wondered whether an...

    Parking aid

    My 2003 A4 Cab has parking sensors on rear bumper, when reverse is engaged there is a 5sec beep (manual says this indicates a fault) but manual also describes a dash-mounted switch, which my car does not appear to have. Any suggestions as to the possible fault, and/or the missing switch?
