    My new a4 has problems

    ok, so after fiddling with the data and trying to get it as clear as possible from what we logged, i have come up with this graph. annoyingly vcds could not get group 115 (specified boost) to show, so we just decided to log as much as seemed relevant, hence why there is specified v actual intake...

    HELP!! I'm thinking the worst...

    That sounds bad, does it look like you can get the reflector part out? If audi will only sell you a new unit, you could try and get one from a scrappy that has s good reflector but broken lens? Should be cheaper than a brand new or second hand one. I think I saw a mod to blacken the non...

    The plane crash

    Thought it was a pretty interesting program, but couldn't believe that nobody thought of checking the top speed of the chase plane vs the minimum cruise speed of the 727.

    Fuming isnt the word

    If you want to downgrade you could use that as part of your negotiations with the garage... Cheaper for the garage (?) so they think they've got out with less cost to fix their screw up, and you get the exhaust you want. My 2p.

    Having a problem fitting an alpine stereo :(

    I used these to get rid of a very quiet whine on my full Bose a4 cab when I fitted a kenwood dnx head unit, using adapters for canbus and Bose harness. They worked perfectly BUT they also totally killed the low end bass.

    iPhone 5 & RNS-E compatibility

    Without knowing how the iPhone works with the AMI I thought I'd add my 2p The 30pin-lightning adaptor will not support iPod out, so if the iPod can be controlled by the car via ami then I think the iPhone 5 will have some limitations. I think the analogue audio out from the phone is still...

    Iphone 5

    Went from a 4s to a 5, and have to say I love it. Quicker, thinner etc, bought another charger cable for work. Job done. I was really worried about the adaptor thing seeing as I've got a kenwood head unit with iPod lead, but it turns out the iPhone 5 is the first iPhone that reliably streams...

    Dealers - washing your car

    Poole accident repair, Poole audi's official repair station, used something nasty on my wheels which ate the lacquer on my polished (replica s8) alloys. I kicked up a fuss and they eventually replaced the alloys. They must have found the cheapest nastiest ones possible tho, they barely lasted 6...

    iPhone and Symphony single din

    You won't totally lose the DIS, just the bit at the top that shows what station/track is playing. Everything else remains functional.

    2003 A4 Cab, windscreen blower air-flow problem

    you could run a diagnostic using vagcom, which would turn up an error code in the air con motors/flaps. i think the motors are around £70 ish i think, and will more than likely to be a bitch to replace as i think they are mostly located inside the central dash, behind where the stereo is.
