    '99 B4 Cabby steering wheel removal

    Evening all... I've recently purchased a '99 Convertible and I would like to replace the leather 4-spoke wheel with one of my Momos. I can see there's two holes on the rear of the wheel to remove the airbag, but which specific type and size of tool (screwdriver/Allen key/torque drive) do I...

    S4 Remap = new problems

    I've just had the ECU remapped. Feels better and more responsive... but, when it gets to 4000rpm it misfires and has trouble getting past there. The VagCom reads a few codes, as follows: 17800 - camshaft position sensor bank 2 (G163): Open Short to Plus P1392 - 35 - 00 17965 - Charge...

    Saloon interior into Avant...?

    I've seen some leather from a saloon that is quite an 'interesting' colour and I was wondering if it would fit into my Avant. Of course, the front seats and door cards wouldn't be a problem, but are the rear door cards the same? Would the rears require some work to get them to fit?

    Speedo drive... where from?

    My speedo has stopped working for some reason. Where does it get it's feed from? Is there a sensor on the 'box or something?

    My old Sport for sale... (again)

    Was trawling through Pistonheads just now and came across this... Audi : AUDI A4 1.8 T SPORT 215 BHP (ATW) Facelift Model (2000) It's now up for £4300...!!! Ouch. It does list it as having a K04 on it now though... well worth the extra money.?!?!? And they're still using my pics, 3rd time round!

    VagCom - from where?

    I've got the lead to go to my laptop that I bought ages ago, but no software to accompany it. Where can I get this from? All the eBay adverts are just for the leads or fault readers, it would seem. Any help or direction would be appreciated. Cheers, Giles

    S4 O/S/R brake binding... smoke!

    Just got to work in the S4, opened the car door and thought... "that's a strange brake-like smell" Looked at the back wheel and it was smoking! Looks like the brake has been caught on while I've been driving. I thought it was weird when I pulled the handbrake on and it was really 'easy' to...

    Ouch! A 204mph spin...

    ...produces knackered wheels! ...which were on this car at the time. Apart from some rubber on the front wing, it seemed to escape unscathed, luckily. Very nice components underneath!

    Avant aero rear wiper... from where?

    Was at MRC this weekend for a rolling road gathering. While I was there, I saw a few B5 Avants with this wiper. It's a VW part, but from what model?

    S4 battery light on, but showing 15 volts!

    So, I played with the S4 a bit last night... by changing the wiper motor and mechanism out for a quiet one (God, was the old one noisy!) and adding some aero wiper arms and blades from a late model B5.5 Passat. In the process of replacing the wiper mechanism, I had to take the lid off the ECU...

    Comfort indicators

    I'm kinda liking this idea... KUFATEC GmbH & Co. KG - Komfortblinker - Modul 1x antippen = 3x blinken VW/ Audi 34425-1 Bit pricey though.

    pre-facelift interior lights to facelift?

    I'm missing the mood-lighting that was present on my facelift A4. Is the main interior light panel a direct swap from early to late models? Thought I'd ask before ripping things apart...

    B6 S4 wheels over B5 S4 brakes - won't go?

    My latest acquisition, a '99 S4, has a problem. I can't fit wheels over the front brake calipers without fitting spacers. I would have thought that a set of 18" B6 S4 rims would have bolted straight over the 'standard' B5 S4 brakes. But, they sit on the face of the caliper without a spacer...

    Returning to B5 ownership - S4, what to look out for...?

    Well, it's been (and still is at the moment) an extended visit into M3 ownership, but I've been offered a trade with a '99 S4 Avant in silver (surprise, surprise) that's done 131k. It's just had belts, waterpump, tensioners & rollers done, along with brakes and tyres. So at least one of the...

    Retro fitting Cruise Control to TDi

    I may be comign into ownership of a 52 plate A4 tdi Sport Avant. Trouble is, it's not got leater or Cruise. Leather, I can sort without too much of a problem, but Cruise Control is a must. What's involved with fitting it? Are there other models I can take bits from that fit the B6 chassis...

    Some pics before it goes...

    I'm selling the car to fund one last splurge before I have to go sensible and get an oil-burning estate! So I took a few pics today and thought I'd post them up here... I'll be sorry to see it go as it's the ONLY car I've ever owned that I've never had...

    Boost... then no boost... Boost... then no boost

    I've got a problem. Ran to Gatwick and back this week - 600 miles in total. Half way down I seemed to lose boost. Then all of a sudden, I would get (some) boost again. Turbo seemed to pick up if you revved it higher. It's really tempromental. One minute I (think I) have it, then the next...

    18" A8 monos... or 18" S4 B6 rims...?

    I may have the opportunity to purchase a set of genuine B6 S4 18" rims... but I'm undecided about swapping the monos out for them. What would your preferences be...?

    Rear bulb replacement...

    How? Am I being thick or something? Do I have to rave out all the boot lining to get to the rear of the light unit to swap a bulb out?

    Texture paint... ROCKS!

    Found some texture paint on eBay. It's not cheap, but the results are REALLY good. I bought this to use on parts for my Mk2 Jetta, and I've been playing with it over the weekend - crap pictures I know, but if you can imagine somewhere in between the two (flash and no-flash)... it looks like a...
