Just had the 2.0TDI 170PD injectors replaced by Audi FOC. I did make sure that they weren't going to attempt to charge me labour or anything stupid. Left it with Huddersfield Audi for 4 hours, they gave me a nice new A6 as courtesy car, did the recall and cleaned it for me. Chuffed. A...

Either that or the rear brake lights are dead. I have had it numerous times. If you get the ESP and the "glow lamps" light on, if you're a diesel, at the same time, that could indicate all the rear brake lights are out or a dodgy connection.

Excellent - as a northern cheapskate, I will be trying the former. Then if/when I get upset, I'll get to the stealers! Thanks all (again).

My recently acquired 2008 Avant S Line Special Edition II has the lovely (when new!) alacantara gear knob, handbrake and "bits" on the steering wheel. The handbrake is like new. As expected, the steering wheel and gear knob are dead and flat and quite grim looking. Is there any...

Excellent. I am Bradford born and bred, now emigrated to Halifax. Do you want to PM me with your rough location and a suggest date/time and how much you'd want (don't know the VAGCOM etiquette!)..? Many thanks.

Hi all, Even though I am completely ham-fisted, I have managed to build the cable and positioning for an AUX port an connect it to my RNS-E (many thanks to this forum and a mate with skinny hands!) All I need now is the coding of the RNS-E to "acknowledge" the AUX port. Is anyone able...

Hi all, Install nearly complete - many thanks to the people on this forum! Next question: I am wanting to have a 3.5mm jack input as my mp3 player isn't an iPod. I do, however, have the iPod connector in the glove box (part # 8E0 857 925B) so want to know if there is a connector that will...

Thanks all. I didn't realise that the switched live stays ON until you lock the car. Very bizarre. I think I will do it that way now. In previous installs, the remote has been immediately. Many thanks people.

Hi all, I want to be able to turn on an external amp in the boot of my B7 Avant - the "remote" cable from the Bose seems to be a constant feed and not really a switched feed. I want to wire the "remote" wire to a switch on the dash to manually turn the amp on/off. I would like to find a...

Yup, thought so. Completed the install. Running a cable from the battery to the back of the car was a *****. They made these cars too well nowadays! Now to figure out how to stop if from being permanently on - the "remote" is supplying power constantly to the relay, therefore the amp is on...

Many thanks - done (with thanks to a friend who isn't as kack handed as me)! Piggybacked all of the Bose connector wires... that Bose connector was a complete biatch to dismantle, but done. I have just been to the local audio place to buy my 8AWG power and told him what I was up to. He has...

Would you use... "Remote on" = 6 "left/right signal" = 21/22 Thanks.

Many thanks for the prompt reply. I was expecting hell, a lot of wire cutting, a lot of swearing, several fuses blown and a potential fire hazard! I'll get looking at where to mount the amp and how to get power to it! Cheers!

Hi all, I am now the proud owner of a 2008 A4 Avant S Line SE 170 (BRD ENGINE CODE) - returning to the Audis after a short stint on a Porsche Cayman (I have only just stopped crying at the depreciation!). After having 1.9TDIs and a couple of 2.0TDI 140s, I opted for the 170 as I do most of...

Hi all. I have a 2008 A4 Avant S Line SE with RNS-e and BOSE. The sound is ok, but the sub is a little lost in the vast boot of the Avant. Is there a way of taking a feed from the head unit and pointing it towards an external amp (Alpine V12) and sub (AudioBahn)...? I want to take...

The Audi Variable Service... basically, the long life services, normally anything between 16-20k per service. There are 2 types, AVS1 and AVS2. One is minor (oil/filters etc), one is slightly more. I always get mixed up which is which... so for the sake of the Wrong-Fact-Nazis, I'll say "I...

This is a cut/paste from an old thread I contributed to: Fontains... £459 for the cambelt, £317 for the AVS2 and about £40 for the water pump. (Total £816) At this point, I was surprised. If not slightly disappointed. Stansted Audi... £390 for the cambelt, £249 for the AVS2 and about the same...

Hi there... I think that the ESP light may have something to do with the work you have had done on the brakes. Quite often if you "knock" the ABS/ESP sensor when changing pads, it will show the ESP light on the dashboard. I have done this a couple of times. Just reseat the sensors. You will...

Uh oh! Someone has unfortunately bought the S4 in question... I just hope that they pick up on the issues and don't take any crap. I have the V5 and spare keys... so hopefully someone will be asking for them shortly and I can fill them in! Oh yeah, the petrol was a shocker for me too. My B5...

Yup - that's what the graphs say. Apparently, the 1.9TDI 130s are nearer 140 most of the time, and the 2.0TDI 140 is also 140... Mine took the 185bhp no problem and made a world of difference. Although the only downside was a knackered flywheel & clutch (due to my hard driving one day - ok...
