    AITP10 INFORMATION/CHAT THREAD 12TH AUGUST 2018

    My first visit to an Audi event of any kind & thanks to @rasA4 for getting back to me while we were actually on the way & letting me park on the stand. My A4 doesn’t wear an S or RS badge but I think it looked quite at home & was in very good company. I’ll definitely try harder next time & do...

    Attendee list AITP10 Sunday 12th August 2018

    I’m a bit late to the party here & haven’t been to an event of any kind before so not really sure how it all works when on site. Despite the horrible weather, I am going to drive down today & arrive as a pay on the gate entrant. My car isn’t anything out of the ordinary, it’s a B8.5 Tdi 177...

    Recall - Auxiliary Heater Thermal Overload

    My letter came yesterday. I too was under the impression that it was a stand-alone heater & not fitted to my car in the UK but was confused as to the option of the settings in the MMI. Seeing as it’s set to “Off” anyway, I’ll leave it until it goes in for the recall.

    Hill's Ultratek Plates.

    The plates arrived on Monday so 7 days after calling at Hill's. They are made from aluminium with very sharply cut raised letters, not massively different to my pressed ones, but the sharpness of the outline of the letters makes them look smarter. I also went for the St George's Cross &...

    Hill's Ultratek Plates.

    I did the same with my last ones after reading the listing & they fell through the letterbox before I'd been asked to email the necessary Anyhow, I called at Hill's in Birmingham today & it's a nondescript factory on an industrial estate accessed through an automatic barrier. Anybody born...

    Race Retro

    Despite the UR Quattros, it was a pleasure to see this at a steam fair in Cornwall last summer. I proper fell for it but never did see the owner. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Race Retro

    Did anybody go to Race Retro at Stoneleigh at the weekend? Lots of good 5 cylinder popping & turbo whooshing to bring back memories of the RAC rally but a few other things were a bit special for me. Chatting to Jimmy McRae was one but there were more than a couple of tasty Audis on show. It...

    Hill's Ultratek Plates.

    Thanks. I've had several sets over the years & the pressed ones I have now were bought online but these do look very good quality so just thought I'd ask around. BullsEye are a local and approved Hill's dealer but the rep said they don't always want to go to the bother for just one set for an...

    Gloss black grille paint peeling off.

    A small update nearly a year from spotting the peeling grille paint/coating.... I didn't get a coat or umbrella but the good lady had a brand new A3 for the day & I got a new grille fitted foc a few weeks ago by Doncaster Audi. What I did get was a text with a link to an "AudiCam"...

    Hill's Ultratek Plates.

    Good Evening all. I don't particularly want to start discussing the legalities of number plates but has anybody got any experience of Hill's Ultratek plates? I have seen a post from a couple of years ago & a couple of photos but nothing else. It's quite an involved process for me to get some...

    Gloss black grille paint peeling off.

    Thanks for the replies. I'll phone my local dealer (Doncaster Audi) this week & go from there. I bought the car from an Audi dealer 200 miles away which helps when looking for a vehicle online as I used the Audi.co.uk search facility & always chose the 800 mile radius option. It widens the...

    Gloss black grille paint peeling off.

    Hi guys, I noticed yesterday that the gloss black paint on the front grille is peeling off around one of the parking sensors on my 2015 (65) A4 B8 Black Edition plus. I have typed it into the usual places & several owners (mainly in the states) have had this problem which has been sorted by...

    2015 B8 Gauge Sweep mod.

    Cheers Darren. I hadn't seen that response as an option on the videos of the process that I'd watched & for a minute felt as if the Yes option was the red wire & the No option was the black wire. I chose to back out & seek advice as have seen a lot of brave people in a whole heap of trouble.

    2015 B8 Gauge Sweep mod.

    Hello all. Due to the weather not being so great this weekend, I decided to try to activate the Gauge sweep function on my 2015 A4 B8. (It's an indoor job) I have been looking at what can be done for the last few weeks & have a Ross-Tech cable & VCDS 17.1 installed so thought it would be an...

    Just got my A4 2.0 tdi 177 Black Edition and have some questions :)

    Hello. I have been de-badging mine in stages to see what I like best. I took the Tdi off first & then the A4. I removed badges with fishing line & the residue with Autoglym Tar Remover before clay bar, glaze, sealant & wax on top. Slow & steady seems the way but it will come off eventually...

    New A4 B8.5 owner

    Thanks for the positive comments guys. I think it looks great although when I first saw those wheels appearing on cars I didn't like them. (They are 19s Gary and only really look special when they are clean & the diamond cut face catches the light). I bought my B6 in 2006 & was torn between...
