    After some serious help really...

    Yeh pretty sure its the head. Now i know this was a huge issue but Audi claim to have no record of it on there system, despite every audi service centre being aware of the issue. The car does not have full Audi service history ( part ) but has FSH, is on 68K so fairly low milage for the year...

    Removing the centre ( handbrake cup holder etc ) console

    Yeh any tips on how to remove the console? I spotted two bolts under the air conditioning bit and two if you remove the ash tray at the back but is that all there is to it?

    Coolant loss + ESP in the snow??

    There should be a mark on the side of your coolant expansion tank. The bottom line shows the minimum, and the top of the max amount of coolant. I would check theres enough coolant in the system and that its not just water. I would certainly not be driving the car if it is mainly water as...

    Converting from an 8P to newer 2009 S-Line Front

    Cheers, i was getting confused with the bumper i posted and thought it would fit like a 2006 one. Yeh i noticed the different valances and have read threads about the exhausts not sitting right on different ones, but all valances fit all bumpers yes? And yeh you mean MY09 lights and the such...

    Converting from an 8P to newer 2009 S-Line Front

    Right think i understand now. The one i posted is from a 2009 which is the 2nd facelift they did. If i was to fit a 2006 s line front end, then it would just be bonnet/bumper/side to side bar - is that right? Also, which rear bumpers will fit? They're all the same at the back right? S

    Converting from an 8P to newer 2009 S-Line Front

    Really? I thought it was the S3 front that required new lights and wings? I know its not a small task, thats fine, the front end of the car needs work anyway so somethings going to happen either way but i thought i might aswell put on the newer style one as its more to my liking whilst...

    Converting from an 8P to newer 2009 S-Line Front

    Can this be done and what does it entail? I have read the guides on converting form double to single grill and from Single to S-Line But can an 8P1 be converted directly to a 2009 S line front? I'm guessing it needs, Bumper and Bonnet, but will it need lights and wings too? What...
