    NEWBIE HERE CALLING ALL B5 RS4 OWNERS - PLEASE READ

    If the car you are referring to is Tom's at German-Marques, the answer is no! The previous owner looked after it meticulously as does Tom. To be honest though, any job on a B5 can be expensive but the well documented wallet emptying problems can be camshafts ( and followers (driver's bank...

    Dodgy S4 on Autotrader

    Unfortunately, my suspicions have been confirmed. An RS246 member made a 5 hour drive to see this car and came away very disappointed. His exact words were "clocked pile of scrap". Andy

    polishing machine

    The cheaper machines are rotary polishers, whereas the Megs 220, PC 7424 and UDM's are all random orbital polishers (Dual action). Both are as effective when used correctly, but I believe the Random Orbitals are easier for novices (such as myself) Andy

    Roof Bars

    Yes, both cars do have the roof rails. However, my B6 Avant seems to have indents on the reverse of the rails where I presume the bars locate, and I am unsure whether the B5 Avants have the same indents. Can anyone with a B5 Avant confirm this? Cheers Andy

    2003 A4 Front electric window query

    Problem sorted. I stripped the door panel at the weekend and removed the switch. It looked like there had been a little water ingress which had slightly corroded the contacts. A quick clean with a fibreglass pen and iso alcohol and the windows work perfectly now. Thanks for all the comments...

    2003 A4 Front electric window query

    Thanks for the tips D S. I already have the remote comfort closure enabled, and have tried the window switch re-synch. I am going to swap the switches over first but think this is highly unlikely to be the problem. I'm just hoping it's not the regulator. Andy

    Only one key with car

    Those instructions are purely for coding the remote locking. The car needs to be taken to the dealer to be reprogrammed, unless you know someone with VAG-COM and have the original 4 digit key security number. It used to be possible to get a code from the instrument panel and get a 7 digit code...

    Audi RS TT 18" wheels

    The TT wheels will not fit the A4 as the pcd is wrong. TT,A3 are both 5x100 pcd, but the A4 is 5x112 pcd. Not sure what the maximum size you can fit is though. Andy

    Security system on a 2000 S4

    I have to disagree with David's comments about Clifford. Early systems did have a few minor problems but the biggest cause of problems with Clifford alarms is the cowboy fitters just "throwing" them into cars and not taking the time to fit them properly. I've had Clifford alarms on my last 5...

    a4 starting problems

    I'd definitely change the coolant temp sensor. It is a known problem on the 1.8T engines and only costs about £12 from German and Swedish. (The fact that the temp guage is playing up also points to this component) Andy
