    Ashtray Conversion

    Just taken delivery of a brand spanking Avant Quattro BE and I am a bit disappointed to see that there is still an ashtray and lighter in the car. Is there a way to replace this with some kind of cubby hole? I have done some googling but not found anything...

    EGR delete

    Hi Lee - I got mine blanked off with a plate with a hole in it. Since then I have had fewer problems (no lumpy idle, no low boost) BUT every now and again I do get limp mode which requires the old 'engine off and on again'. The hole in the plate apparently stops the sensor from registering that...

    Dam this car

    That's what JBS have recommended but they want 800 odd quid to perform a DPF delete and re-map as well. Their chap says that the EGR still gets blanked off in this instance, but the re-map tells the ECU to ignore it.

    Dam this car

    Hi Oddie I am not totally sure. They originally replaced the throttle body which had a crack which was causing a leak. Car was fine for a few miles after that but then I had limp mode again. Next step was to remove and clean the EGR but apparently that didn't improve things much, so they blanked...

    Dam this car

    My 170 PD has been the same since Audi replaced the injectors - low boost issue and occasionally limp mode (which clears if you turn the engine off and then back on). I don't really trust Sheffield Audi so I have been in and out of JBS in Chesterfield where they know a thing or 2 about diesels...

    Cleaning Products - What I got vs What I need

    You can clean the steering wheel, handbrake and gear knob with lemon juice, hot water and a toothbrush. Works wonders on the Alcantara - mine was similarly dirty when I got it. I am swapping my steering wheel for a leather one though (thanks eBay) because it needs cleaning all the time!

    Where Can I get a spare remote key cut and programmed in the West Midlands

    I recently got a new key for mine. Audi Sheffield charged me about 220 quid - £150 for the key and £70 to code it. I rang around and all of the dealers were pretty much the same price. As far as I know, you will have to go to a dealer because only they can code the key to the immobiliser.

    A4 Cab Door speaker stopped working, can anyone help?

    Mine does this too. It appears to be an intermittent fault - if you turn the volume up high the speaker starts working again. Sounds weird I know, but it would be worth trying before you take the door cards off!

    A4 B7 Avant S-Line Checks

    For your Alcantara use Lemon Juice and hot water with a toothbrush, let it dry and then do it again. This worked a treat on my steering wheel which now looks like Alcantara again and not dirty leather!

    De-tuning remap???

    Just for the record, my 170 S-line Avant Quattro TDI has done 92,000 miles and not a single issue apart from a faulty brake pedal sensor (so far!!)

    Boot liner

    They are a different shape. For the record I bought one of these AUDI A4 AVANT ESTATE BOOT LINER MAT on eBay (end time 02-Mar-11 05:43:46 GMT) and it fits like a glove. Useful flap to stop the spaniel scratching the bumper as well :)
