    Audi A4 B6 Oil/Fluid Leak

    Hi All, Just looking for some guidance on where the below oil leak could be coming from with the under-tray removed. It's from my 2004 A4 B6 (Automatic/CVT). In the last pic I caught some of the oil/fluid to help with identification. Could it be differential fluid? The oil will tend to drip...

    Audi S3 Side Lights

    Hi, Could anyone tell me where I can get sidelights with a colour temperature of between 4700K and 5000K? The ones on ebay all seem to be 6000K to 6500K for the 501 T10's which are all a bit too blue for my liking. Would like some sidelights to match my xenons. Can anyone help? Cheers

    S3 head gasket issues?

    Well, I put the question mark there, but I'm pretty sure it is (unless I'm wrong?) - lots of white smoke out the exhaust upon startup and once warmed up (I initially thought it was because of the cold weather). Looked underneath the oil cap and there is a creamy substance under it. I'm...

    Can't decide which colour wheels to go for!

    The time has come to refurb my alloys, as they are in a bit of a state at the moment. Toss up between anthracite or bright silver, to go on my black S3. I'm thinking bright silver looks pretty smart, but I am fond of a stealthy look also, but not too sure if dark coloured wheels will...

    Shredded screws

    Guys, I want to take off my wing mirrors, but one of the screws at the bottom of the mirror has a shredded philips thread and the screw driver can't lock on. How the hell can I get it off? I've tried the rubber band technique but to no avail... Please advise?
