finally got my butt outside and spent this afternoon finding out where the water was coming into the drivers footwell. After removing the back seat (easy) and then the front seat ( also easy except for the carpet being in the way) i was able to lift the whole side of the carpet. Boy is there...

thanks for the tip. Any suggestions on drying the carpet out? if i could avoid removing it all the better. Hopefully have some time this weekend to investigate further. NIge

i found water in that area when i washed the car one time. I cleared one of the bungs and removed the other completely. Havent lifted the bonnet to check. Will have a look tomorrow in the daylight. Am thinkin i might move it on once its dry. We'll see.

hey, Just got a link from the a4 forum. I have got water in the drivers footwell of my a4. passanger side felt ok. I also had water in the sparewheel well. Any one have ideas as to where it may be coming in? I havent done any investigating yet, cos i only found it last night and its dark...

Mines a saloon, with a sunroof. Will try pouring some water down the drain holes. and will also have a look underneath the car for drain plugs and gaps for water exits. A3 S3 forum not so useful but the reminiscing about first car and how much fun we had in them was cool. If only it wasnt dark...

Hey, Returned home from work today to find the windscreen of my 98 t sport really condensated up. It wouldnt have been long before it started running down the screen. Anywho, lifted the over mat in the drivers footwell and run my hand through it, and its wet!!!! I didnt use the car last week...

looking good fella, How they should come out the factory. Is it a sport model? did the eibachs lower it visually? What backbox / exhaust system is that. Looks good. Not too OTT. Makes me wanna spend money on mine.........

If i had 300 lb ft fwd, then i wouldnt be complaining. I would expect it. i would also be travelling quite a bit faster too : ) Rich, you must be S3'd up with that sort of power. Will look at those two brands you mentioned. May be i will do some O/T to pay for some new treads. Thanks for the...

Death grip it is. best leave the full beans till on the big main roads, not the smaller 2 lane backroads..... I notice it most in 2nd too as it goes.

Hey Guys, Having owned my A4 T sport for a couple of months, i feel i am getting used to driving it and givin it a good stretch every now and then , my question is do you guys experience torque steer? I feel it is quite noticeable if you are really accelerating hard, say when you are going...

Bass is an individual thing. Personally, for daily drivers, one 12 in the correct size box and driven by the right amp will still give a lot of bass. I used to run a single 10 in a e36 saloon and for everyday use it was just enough to fill in the bottom end. It didnt drop like a 12 but it was...

This is a good site too. http://www.e46fanatics.com/

You could try this forum as well. http://bimmer.roadfly.com/bmw/forums/e46/ I had an e36 320 before my a4 and it was a wrench selling after 5 yrs. Cant stray from the german marques though. they definitely know what they are doing. I do miss the straight six startup noise and it sounds sweet...

no worries with petrol down here. The car had half a tank in it on friday night after work. Now its got just under a quarter left and 110 more iles on it. Car is performing great. Even goes well 4 up. Popped into local audi dealership on saturday and they have a special on road angels at the...

Hey guys, Just thought i would update you on the small matter of my cat being in two pieces the day after the garage installed a recon turbo. We decided to let the garage fix the car as long as they collected it and returned it. It went away last wednesday on the back of a low loader and when...

just a little bit out of me way. The garage are sending a recovery truck this evening. Will let you know how it goes next week. Think i will wait till we change cars again! till i start modding. I have lost faith in this one for the moment. Its been a week and a half of no driving already, and...

thanks for the link hops, am checkin it now. Yep, i was giving the car some exercise when the pipe went. Thats what cars are for though isnt it? Garage are arranging to come pick the car up. I just hope that if they do weld it. they do it properly. Will keep you posted. Nige

Guys, thanks for the words of advice. We havent decided what we are doing yet. But if it is that easy to sort out, then it may be that we decide to get it fixed. I think the dealer will just weld it anyway, cant see them coughing up for a new cat. Snoops one looks interesting though. I realise...

thank you madvw, dealer is 1and a half hours away. It has been suggested we get there local paper round there. and there is a trading standard board that this garage are registered with.

as soon as i work out how to post a pic i will, (what is mozilla 4+?). or PM me, i can mail it ok. I too had the metallic rattle / vibration from the turbo / wastegate that some of the other people have been discussing. I only bought the car 5 weeks ago and the dealer said they would fix it...
