Ok, not much response to this one but managed in the end. To answer you question bolly, yes it did. It only seemed to be the handles that didn't work. So in case someone is in the same situation this is how I managed to get it open. Stripped door card from passenger side to give me an idea of...

Hello all, After a bit of advice on how to get a stuck door open without wrecking the door card. The central locking is working just neither of the handles will open the door. I would think that maybe the linkage has come adrift as both handles are a little stiff and do not spring back to their...

After the other half getting a puncture while I was away working she got the tyre replaced with a new one that has far more tread depth than the ones that were already on the car. I know that all tyres should be of similar tread depth on quattro cars but will it do any harm short term? Reason I...

I have done the shadowline taping on my chrome window trims and can give you a couple of tips (from experience!). Dont attempt it on a windy day, pick a hot day as the tape is much softer and far easier to work with. For the rear window, I have an avant, I had to join the tape but if you take...

try German Ebay, got both genuine for about £100 posted but black rather than chrome surrounds. Sonnyjim.

Hello all, Needing to get the S4 serviced shortly and was wondering if anyone has experience of using Specialist in Aberdeen or recommend a good alternative which would look good in the service book? Car is nearing the end of its 1 year warranty so is it worth sticking to Audi? Cheers Sonnyjim.

That is what happened to me, parents have run autos for years, jags etc (they're not rich they've usually passed their best when they get them). Great to get a shot of for a few days and then give back. Not my cup o tea for every day use (as i found out), each to their own tho. Lost a fair bit...

I'd go for the 3.0. But please avoid the auto, I was very dissapointed after a year of ownership. I suppose I was blinkered by going from a family mobile to the V6, (had a VR6 a couple of years back so thought V6 meant sporty). If you like a manual stick to them. Doesn't the auto box add about...

cheers for the sympathy/advice, speaker grille I thought would be an easy fix, although that was only mentioned on the first short walk to the car, funny that. Looking at them today it is a BOSE speaker cover, not a stick on badge. The inlays......still fuming, didn't notice until sat in the...

I've got an avant which I pressume will have the same inlays as the saloon. As for what happened its a mystery with both the speaker grille and the inlays, looks to me like a sharp bit of a ring and a stiff granny trying to manouvre out of a recaro seat that got the inlay. Always happens when...

Hello all, can some one help here? Got back after a month away to find that the inlay on the passenger side has been what I would describe as 'scratchd to f##k'. Being jet black it sticks out and is ****** annoying. Qestion is how much for a new set and can they be picked up seperatly instead...

Oops, yep' he wants chrome. Missed that line.

No photos yet, just done it the day before coming away for a month or so. But I think it looks far better than the chrome. Chrome trim seems to remind me of a old Mk1 Ford Granada my mates dad used to have! Although there was a fair bit on that. Looks good when fitted but I rushed mine a bit...

http://chromeandcarbon.tripod.com/ Shadowline tape, used it on my B6. Don't have the link for the 'patience of a saint' site though! Can I suggest that buying 2 rolls is maybe a good idea. Tried cheaper tape too, but it discolours when stretched. Hope that helps. Sonnyjim

I know of a friend's girlfriend who topped the oil up on a car and filled it to the top of the rocker cover! Thats the worry, also had visions of he spending hours trickling the oil in through the dipstick hole! Thanks again. sonnyjim

Cheers for the replies, I'm away from home at the moment, hence this is the only advice outlet that is available. The level was checked by a helpful petrol station attendant and was on the lower limit, but he was not sure of oil type so the missus told him to leave it. Just want to get it topped...

Can someone give a little advice here please, other half has reported the oil level warning light has come on on my S4 after a long run. I have done a search and found that Castrol edge 5W/30 is recommended but can this be used to top up the long life oil that Audi has used at the last service...

That worked a treat. Can it be piggy backed on to a CDC and will the lead and plug be already fitted? Thanks Sonnyjim

cheers, I'll give it a try.

Hello all, can you give a bit of help on operating the H/K ipod adaptor, not sure of the model and don't have the manual. It has been already fitted to a motor my dad has bought. Ipod plays, controller works, display shows correct song playing but no sound. I thought if I selected CDC it would...
