    Intermittent Oil Pressure Warning

    Beware of just letting it idle as the oil pressure warning doesn't kick in until the revs are higher. Oil pickup pipe does sound like a possibility, there's a revised design due to the issues with the original. I had the pickup replaced, although mine ran rough until the oil warmed up which...

    Quick Question

    Code for cruise. If you code for the advanced computer you then have to choose, either ground a pin on the back of the dash to avoid the water bottle warning, instal a water bottle sensor and wire it to that same pin, or put up with the warning.

    A4 B7 List of Affordable Modifications/Upgrades/Retrofits

    Be careful with the cheap wifi adapters, they'll run your battery flat if you leave them plugged in and don't use the car for 2-3 days.

    my A4 avant quattro

    I had the passenger door card off and wired in the handle light, put it all back together and nothing. No lights, windows don't work from the buttons on that door but do from the drivers side. Could this reset be what I need? Can you give more detail or a pic of where to find that connector?

    my A4 avant quattro

    Sounds like they're the same as a set I have in storage. I got them from an A3 owner and ended up with 5mm spacers on the front (not 100% essential just for the look) and 15mm rear (or they contacted the suspension).

    How to remove a key fob from ecu

    As I understand it you can't pick and choose which key you remove, you remove them all and then recode the remaining. Problem is you need the pin for the car to recode keys and that's not readily available through VCDS. Easiest would be a trip to an Audi dealer, a specialist that's on the Audi...

    Finally!! Got them and fitted em!

    I have the estate version, they don't have reflectors in them, they supply a couple of ugly rectangular stick on reflectors, I found some better looking ones to make it MOT compliant.

    Speaker Grill

    With the door card off you'll need to release the plastic pins that locate the grill. They're pushed through and then the ends melted to secure them when they're fitted so you need to reverse that to get the broken grill out.

    Paint

    I'm looking to get a few chips, scratches and scrapes sorted out on my Mauritius blue Avant Sline. There's two or three stone chips in the bonnet that show the primer beneath. A scuff to the lower front corner of the bumper, a couple of vertical scuffs to the back corner and a few scratches here...

    weird multitronic noise, help!!!

    No, mines the same and Audi UK will say its a sealed unit. However you can have the oil changed and as said above Audi USA do have changes in the service schedule. it's something that many of us forumites would recommend from previous experiences.

    weird multitronic noise, help!!!

    I meant to add that if it is the non multitronic box it's defined by Audi UK as sealed, but the general advice tends to be that having the gearbox oil changed is no bad thing (Audi USA do have oil changes in the non multi box on the Quattro)

    weird multitronic noise, help!!!

    It's my understanding that the auto box in a B7 Quattro isn't multitronic, it's a standard 6 speed box.

    Staggered. Alloys. Tyre size

    My understanding is that the steel band in the build of the tread of the tyre is what fixes the radius. The tyre wall stretches to accommodate any differences in wheel width (also differences in tyre pressure, load on cornering etc). Ok there could be a very slight difference but it won't be as...

    Staggered. Alloys. Tyre size

    I have staggered wheels on mine, but as it's a Quattro I had to be careful that I kept the rolling radius the same front and back to look after the diff so have the same size tyres all round: Front 19x8.5 ET48 with a 5mm spacer Rear 19x9 ET52 with a 10mm spacer 245/35/19 all round I'm hoping...

    B7 KEY UPGRADE

    Hi, I realise this thread is as old as the hills but I'm looking to get an additional "8E0 837 220 E" key (for my B7 A4), I was told I have to find the exact part number but you're saying that isn't true? That's be fantastic as the E version is a pain to find. thanks.

    2005 B7 2.0T FSI Quattro 32k Oil pressure warning!!

    My BGB had random oil pressure warnings, had the pressure checked at a local indie, no problem found but changed the pressure sender anyway. Issue persisted and turned out to be a partially blocked strainer, has that replaced with the modified one and has the oil pump checked over and rebuilt at...
