    B6 vs B5 avant boot dimensions

    Hi all Bit of an odd question I suppose. I have a subwoofer enclosure purpose built to fit in the back of a B5 avant whilst sitting below the retractable rear cover. Can anyone confirm if the B6 boot dimensions are at least the same or bigger than the B5? Specifically width, height and...

    Seen the Chris Harris S4 Video - see.want.buy - pre or facelift? Differences?

    Hi all, So i've seen the Chris Harris video comparing a remapped B8 S4 with the RS4. I must say it has me intrigued. Could someone please point out what the differences are between the pre and post facelift cars? I've seen some aesthetic changes with the lights and interior (including steering...

    When did sidelight bulbs change from bayonet style to 501's?

    I can confirm that my pre-facelift A4 has bayonets and no foglights, so that aligns.

    When did sidelight bulbs change from bayonet style to 501's?

    Yeah it just pushes in to a rubber grommet. I don't know if the size is comparable. I'll have a look, I have both types of bulb. Thanks Dan.

    When did sidelight bulbs change from bayonet style to 501's?

    Hi all, Could anyone confirm when the B5 A4 changes from bayonet style sidelights to 501's? Was it with the facelift headlights? Mine is pre-facelift and has bayonets. Wondering if it's possible to change to 501's without changing headlamps? Cheers

    1.8 (ADR) => 1.8T (AEB) Swap

    Thanks aragorn. It's something to contemplate before the ADR craps itself from oil starvation. Although it's been rattling on start-up for a couple of years now so who knows.. There's a list of jobs that need doing to this A4 (now including the central-locking pump that appears to have died...

    1.8 (ADR) => 1.8T (AEB) Swap

    Hi all In temporary moments of insanity, I am contemplating the above swap on the missus '98 B5 Avant. Can anyone tell me any specific pitfalls during such a conversion? Just looking at stock for stock right now.. Without knowing the specifics, i've assumed the following as changing :-...

    Quick Interior Question? (What fits in a 1998 Avant)

    Fitted the facelift interior today.. wasn't a direct fit as the airbag plugs on the seats are different... fortunately two out of the three pins/receptacles were a direct move from the 4 pin plug to the 2 pin one (of which 3 pins are used on the facelift seats). The third pin had to be spliced...

    ABS Computer Repair

    Spoke to ECU Testing and they quoted me £100-200 + vat depending on the nature of the fault. IIRC the error that was logged before was along the lines of an intermittent memory failure, which if is the case i'm assuming it'd require the whole module replacing (didn't notice any flash/memory...

    Quick Interior Question? (What fits in a 1998 Avant)

    Ended up going for these on eBay: genuine audi a4 s4 (b5 facelift 99-2001) avant estate interior seats doorcards | eBay Can't remember what the name is of my interior colour - possibly opal or something? It's blue'ish I suppose. How easy is a dash swap on a pre-facelift B5? Like for like...

    Quick Interior Question? (What fits in a 1998 Avant)

    Thanks. Just went and checked, it has three proper seat belts. Here's a couple of photos, I don't know if they're useful in identification at all? If they are the later type, do you know if the facelift seats are a direct fit? Cheers :)

    ABS Computer Repair

    Hi all, So the ABS computer has been playing up for a year or so on my 1998 A4 1.8 SE (non turbo, fwd). Vagcom (or something similar at the time) said it was an intemittent memory error or something in the module. Now i've seen the PDF's about how to repair the connections inside the module...

    Quick Interior Question? (What fits in a 1998 Avant)

    Thanks. This is a 1998 car though so should be the later pin type.

    Quick Interior Question? (What fits in a 1998 Avant)

    Hi all, Just a quick one. Due to having a broken front and rear seat in my 1998 Avant, i'm potentially looking for a new interior. I am aware that the -1997 interiors are different, so they're out. But what about facelifts? Are they a straight swap? Many thanks p.s. if anyone has an interior...

    1998 A4 1.8 non-turbo (ADR) Exhaust rear hangar/bracket question

    The rear silencer falls apart internally after X amount of time. This is the second one now (OMP). The car isn't worth spending £300+ on a custom full stainless steel exhaust.
