Some of you may know that I have posted before about my suspension not being right, but it appears to be getting worse! I have had FSD's fitted to my std springs for around 3k now and the ride is very boucey and 'stittish' (sorry if thats not a word!) over bumps. At low speeds you can really...

I have recently had a problem with my HID's flcikering and switching off and on again. This genrally happens when the lights have been on for some time but can happen sooner at times. I have recently fitted new bulbs (Osram CBI's) but dont think it is the bulbs as it was doing it before I...

If anyone could point me in the right direction there would definately be a drink in it for them!! I have still got a problem with my steering being loose as when I am stationary you can move the wheel quite a bit before the wheels move. Its worth mentioning that I have to turn the wheel more...

Hi everyone Recently I have been experiencing problems with the self leveling control on my front lights. After driving for about 20 mins the self leveling warning light comes on and a few seconds later the lights point down only giving me about 10ft of light :think: When I start the car...

Morning peeps I am getting quite a harsh shudder when I switch the engine off, I suspect this maybe due to the rubber perishing on the anti shudder valve as the EGR was, until a recent oil change firing out oil which coated the valve. Am I on this right track here? My engine has also become...

I have a couple of questions relating to my 1.9TDI unit. My engine always runs at 65 - 70c, is this normal? As I though norm operating temps are around 85 - 90c I also have alot of oil which seems to be leaking from the manifold to intercooler pipe - have been told that this maybe fue to my...

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me regarding my steering on my A4. I have had alot of work done on my car since I bought it, including re-worked turbo, clutch+DMF, brakes and suspension - most of whichwas not through choice! My ongoing problem is and always has been steering. To...

Hi All, some time since I have posted on the forum so apologies if I am a little rusty! I am after some advise on the most cost effective route for what I term a 'proper' sound in my car. I have just fitted a Clarion CD609E double din unit in my B which has the fully amplified OEM Bose...

Quick question.. I have just bought a dragon tuning box for the bargin price of £50, at that price I thought what the hell.. Only one problem, it didn't come with any instructions! The outside of the box states that there are 16 settings which can be adjusted with a set of 4 jumpers. Does...

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a new or recon steering rack for my A4 QS 1.9TDI I have tried ECP and they said it would be special order - £400+ and the dealers want silly money for one. Does anybody know a decent place where I can pay a decent price for a good recon unit...

I have been busy all day taking the EGR and inlet manifold off for a clean, whilst I was in there I installed a blanking plate for the exhaust side of the EGR pipe and put a new OEM air filter in. All well and good (so far) but when I took the car for a run earlier I got a shudder when I...

This maybe a daft question so feel free to rag me if it is.. I have seen plenty of posts on the forum which explain the advantages of fitting the N75 'J' valve on the 1.8T engine due to its higher spring load which allows more boost. (I believe it is fitted to the 225TT) Is there the same...

Just thought I'd vent a bit of frustration...some little b*gger his pinched my Quattro badge on the front grill!! Suppose I could understand them nicking the whole badge in order to follow some modern day beastie boys craze but they only nicked the top crome bit! lol Does anybody have a...

Hi peeps, I was after some advice. I have recently changed my springs to Eibach Pro Kit and Shocks to Blistien B4 sports which was fine until last week. To begin with the ride was excellent, handling much improved and the bumps being ironed out on the road. However over the last 2 weeks the...

Can I throw this one out to the forum as I am going slowly mad trying to figure out this problem!! :keule: I have a droning noise come from what I think is the exhaust which only happens under load between 1900 and 2400rpm. It is most noticable on the daul carriagway or motorway when...

I was approached by the buildings manager at the place I work at last week to tell me that I had an oil leak and it had made a mess in my parking bay which the handyman had to clear up :redface: So I took my car aking to a local indy garage and chap there soon found the culprit, the seal has...
