    To sell or to strip?

    Hello folks. Been a while. I still have my R plate A4 Avant 2.8 Quattro auto. I'm about to emigrate so need to move it on one way or another. It's not the best example you've seen but certainly isn't the worst either. I'll post up all details if required of course. Basically it needs a damn...

    no dash display. Ignition switch?

    OK after managing to ignore the odd occasion when the immobiliser decides to paly up... Today the dash display has refused to work. It will come on as you turn the ignition off however (and a tweak of the ignition key will keep it on). But once the car is started it's gone. Is this a common...

    Quattro propshaft centre mount ?

    Thought it might be easier to get an opinion if you could see what it's like rather than just desccribing it. so here's a crappy little video. Does this look like a normal amount of movement or too much?

    Propshaft compatibilty?

    So is there any facts as to what other propshafts fit other models? Specifically I'm looking at a 2.8 30v Quattro Avant but having trouble finding the exact one but can find others that may or may not fit. This is the question... do the manual/auto share the same propshaft despite the part...

    Propshaft ?

    Looking for a propshaft for my 2.8 30v Quattro Avant. Does it share prop with any other model as finding one is proving to be tricky so far. Or anywhere recommended that can recon one ? (Midlands preferably) Or scrapyards that may have one? Any help locating one really. Cheers.

    Coolant temp sensor & air con ?

    Had the air-con recharged, worked fine at first then noticed that it's gone a bit crappy again already (only 2 wks at most). Also noticed that the temp gauge is intermittently reading very low .. just slightly above the 60 degree mark. Then sometimes it will read correctly. Are the two...

    Newcomer to the VAG world.

    Well I had to see what all the fuss was about (and needed something more practical than my trackday car for day to day stuff) so stepped away from my usual brand of car and got myself an A4 Avant Quattro 2.8. So seems OK so far apart from having what seems like all the usual problems...
