Im busy looking for a nice A4 diesel replacement for my old V6 which has gone, after missing out on dieselfitters auction on ebay I was quite chuffed to see his car appear on autotrader, allbeit at a considerably higher price...then I noticed the mileage and im sure it isnt what it was when it...

Well, after almost 6 months of running the V6 avant I decided that I needed to get something a bit more economical and sold it for a reasonable price... Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on here for the great advice that was invaluable whilst I was running/repairing the car quite...

Any ideas on how to do this?? I want to remove mine to sort out a broken net on one and some scuffing on the other.

Well, as many of you know, my B5 avant is in the garage for repairs at the moment due to a bit of a shunt a few weeks back. I was given a nice 08 Golf GT TDI to use whilst mine is in, I came out of work tonight and found these marks on the car ........... looks like im going to have to get busy...

When I bought the car someone had kindly put one of the headrests the wrong way round, I have now tried pulling/pushing it all different ways but to no avail, the little so and so wont budge. The other two come out fine as they are the correct way round. Any recommendations?

I know its a small and relatively insignificant part but ever since I got my car its been bugging me that the steering wheel badge isnt right, it looks as though the red part has been peeled off. I've found what appears to be the right replacement on ebay but its going to cost me over £25...

Yesterday was not my day at all! After falling of a very small wall during the (entirely my own fault) I ended up one car from the front of a 5 car rear end prang on my way home. Spoke to my insurance company and everything is being taken car of, fingers crossed nothing is damaged underneath...

Whilst cleaning the car this weekend I have found something else which appears to be broken..when i say appears, i'm pretty sure it is broken as its a plastic pipe which has snapped at 2 seperate points. There was only one break in the pipe originally but as i was trying to re-tape it back...

Well it looks like we have some good weather coming so I plan to try my hand at a bit of paint correction on my A4 this weekend. I have considered buying a proper polisher a number of times but have always been put off by the prices for something that i might only use a couple of times...

I think ive had more hassle from this car than ive ever had with any of my previous cars. After being up on axle stands for the past 2 1/2 weeks whilst doin g the control arms I finally got it all back together last night and decided to move the car tonight and take it for a test drive to find...

After 3 weekends of hassle I have finally managed to get all the control arms changed on may car, hoo freaking ray! Not something I want to have to do again in the very near future, although at the moment it should all come apart quite nicely thanks to the amount of copper slip used on the...

Latest saga in my control arm change, the drill bit snapped and has stuck inside the hole where the pinch bolt is. I have spent ages trying to get it out, even trying to drill it out from the other side but that hasnt worked either yet. As a last resort, and to get the car back on the road as...

Guys, whilst doing my control arm swap over I removed my under tray to make some of the access a bit easier, I have noticed whilst doing this that my current tray is missing large chunks and fitting bolts as most of it appeared to be held on with black Tie Wraps!! MY MOT is due now (will be...

Guys, I know this isnt a 'for sale' forum but I wanted to offer this up to you all before I put it on ebay or in the general for sale section. Ive replaced my concert radio (because its faulty) with an iPod headunit and no longer need my CD changer. It is one of the original 6 disc units and I...

Being a tight so and so I decided that I wasnt going to pay the £170 +VAT that my local audi dealer quoted me for a remote fob flip key all coded to the car, and that was after arguing that my car would need a receiver unit fitted! Instead, with help from Siena I bought a second hand fob from...

Guys, After having a bit of a rattle at the front a week ago, which has now gone and been replaced with a knocking noise over bumps and sometimes when turning etc. I have had a look round the old threads on similar problems and it looks like it could be the front suspension control arms, I will...

Guys, I recently bought my 2.8Q Avant and its on 110,000miles with Audi dealer service stamps up to 86,000 miles. After a quick call to the dealer to confirm this they have told me that they also carried out an annual service at 93,000 but the book wasnt available to stamp. The guy I bought the...

Guys, my boot has a habit of closing on my head as it appears that the gas struts are a little but worn/tired. I'm going to replace these but before i hit the Buy It Now button on an ebay auction for £38.90 can anyone else recommend anywhere that may be able to provide these at a better price...

Guys, Ive been spending a lot of time searching round the forums for various bits and pieces that I intend to replace on the car and VAGPARTS seems to come up most of the time but now appears to have been shutdown. Can anyone recommend anywhere else to get VAG parts from at reasonable prices? I...

Guys, I want to get myself one of the many audi remote 'plip' flip key fobs from ebay and get it programmed to work my remote central locking ( a friend has VAG com and has offered to set this up) however I'm unsure as to which frequency fob I need to get as I dont have the original to check...
