    Help with avant rear screen washer.

    My wifes A4 had a similar problem. I tried it parked up and my 4 yr old son shouted "Dad, the car's bleeding...". Turned out to be a joint had popped out up inside the front wheel arch. Pain in the bottom since you have to remove the liner first. Stopped working a few months again, and...

    Our B6 bashed, hit and run

    Thanks James, she used to work there, but was there for our pups vacs yesterday. Having worked there, she was in a good position to speak to various member of staff including one of the senior partners. They said they can't divulge details of people who would have been there at the time -...

    Our B6 bashed, hit and run

    Having a bad day? try bad week. Lorna was at the vets today, and came out to this: Notice the nice gap between the wing and the lower bumper, and how far back the headlight is. There's no f*****g way they did that without noticing it. There's also strange scuff/scratches on the bumper...

    Wiper blades?

    Not something I'd even come across before, hence I didn't check them. They were both split about 30mm at the ends, so if they'd got much worse it would have been a scratched windscreen. I've super glued wipers in the past to get round this mind you. Short of buying your local mot tester...

    Wiper blades?

    Just had our 02 avant fail the mot on wiper blades, and there's me thinking I'd checked everything I could. I'd never been so confident with any car that it would pass.:whistle2: I work just down from the local stealers Aberdeen Audi, so since I didn't have time to shop around, and on the...

    VW Corrado.

    Still a cool car in my eyes. I owned this 1989 valver many years ago: Loved that car, even though I spent £££s on it. Not that fast, and it had it's faults I know. Id still have another one at the drop of a hat (just don't let on to the missus). Stupidly missed out on buying this one...

    Anyone carry an aftermarket jack?

    As per title, does anybody carry about a replacement for the Audi jack? I'm thinking about treating myself to a trolley jack - oh yes, I know how to live:) - and thought it would make sense to get one that's up to the job, but also compact enough to fit inside the spare wheel well. Did...

    Ouch!

    Tip from the haynes manual for the A4 I've just bought, and one which I'd never seen before, they recommend putting the wheel you've just taken off under the sill for a safety measure until you've got the spare on. Obviously you'll need to take it out before you lower the car. Now if the...

    Hello, and finally an A4 owner

    Hello all from Sunny Aberdeen. Not actually an owner thinking about it, since it the Mrs car, but I'm the one who plays on a laptop all day. We've just replaced a 2000 vectra sri 140 with a 2002 A4 Avant 130 sport (pics to follow once I'm allowed). As I said it's the wifes car, so I've...
