Can you wrap bike parts too? Have had some done in fake carbon in the past on the IoM and thinking it might be an idea for my current bike. Im in warsash to so not far away. Marc

I used to have the cheap coilovers on my a4 avant and wound them down quite a way. Ride was ok even on the rough roads of the isle of man. Replaced them with a koni strt fixed drop kit when we moved over here about 500 miles ago and to be honest im considering going back to a cheap set of...

Cheers, I know what you mean about the bikes. Thats the reason this latest one is being built as a track bike. Got knocked off the shadow ( which was one of the reasons i did all the work on rebuilding it ) and the guy didnt even stop, just drove off leaving me in the middle of the road stuck...

Hey Guys, Been away from the site for a while as the A4 took a back seat. Got into building motorbikes ( guess the IoM finally got into my blood! ) and im still in the process of building my latest classic race bike but the love for my audi has returned. Car is a 1998 A4 Avant in paradise...

AHHHHHHHH wonder if that may explain all the clicking that was coming from the airbox area when i was having a look last night then. Couldnt pinpoint it exactly as it was very dark and my torch was very much like a candle! :) Cheers for the help and if your ever this way then pintage is...

Cool cheers, managed to get my lead working in the end last night after lots of messing around and had no errors at all which was actually a disappointment :( Dont suppose you have a part number for that valve do you? is it an audi dealer only part? also where about on the car is it so i can...

Cheers Aragon, did you have the pressure under the oil cap too? just wondering if i maybe have more than one problem here :(

Hi Guys, Looking for a bit of help here, have a problem that has developed on the car and just trying to work out what it could be. The car is a 98 Audi A4 1.8T (Auto) with an AEB engine and just over 100k and for the last few days it seems to have developed trouble with its idle. It seems to...

Could you not get a new padlock and then basically you can park wherever you want! just pull up, put the clamp on your own car and hey presto! free parking :D

When you say Newport IOM do you mean IOW? not a newport on the isle of man as far as im aware ( plus it not on manx plates ) oh and the local over here would have kittens ( with no tails obviously! ) if they saw you confuse the 2 islands! lol

Damo -> Exactly the same as mine, weak point maybe? As for the shop windows im only really looking in them to makre sure the local window cleaners are doing their job properly! :D

Thats quite a coincidence then as its the passenger one thats missing on mine, was a bit confused as the bolt etc is still in place on the arm?!? Got mine from the dealer today ( ouch! ) and will get that one tomorrow. Im starting to wonder if it will mean i dont need to raise the car as it...

Yeah unfortunately until i get my arches rolled i need that little extra clearance. Wouldnt be a problem if it was just me driving as i would take it a bit easy but got my folks coming over next week for TT and will be lending them the car when there here so figured better safe than sorry :D...

I shall mostly be fitting the new anti roll bar link that i found was completely missing when i replaced my suspension with coilovers, raising the front up about 10mm and then hopefully get cracking converting a mini moto into a mini chopper! :D

Welcome to the site and also to the paradise green club! :D

I had the 19's on my car for about a month before i fitted the coilover. Only reason i did it that way was because the wheels came up at a very good price otherwise i would have lowered it first as it did look pretty bad on the standard stilts!

Cool, cheers guys, has put my mind at ease a bit now. Can get on to sorting out the other little niggles. Just enjoying being back in a vag car after a few years away :arco:

cheers for the reply, not so easy im afraid as it only seems to do it under load so tick over isnt enough to tell. Guessing its just condensation but seems more than other cars over here ( maybe the heat from the turbo is causing more condensation in the exhaust?!). Guess the main test will be...

Hi Everyone, been reading the forums for a while trying to get to know more about my new car ( 98 1.8t Avant Auto in Paradise Green ) and have found answers to most things but just have the one question. When we first start the car and until its up to temperature i get a fair bit of white...
