    Mine 1.8t Auto Convertible used to average 30-35mpg on the standard 17inch wheels. Since I put on the 19inch RS4 wheels with wider tyres, I've been getting about 25mpg;(

    B7 A4 Cabriolet KUFATEC Roof Remote fitted

    It's passenger side on the US & European cars (left hand drive) and drivers side on the UK cars (right hand drive). The panel has to come out all the way from the rear seat side first. The way I've done it was to stick my hand between the panel and rear seat and pull hard until it comes out. You...

    B7 A4 Cabriolet KUFATEC Roof Remote fitted

    Yes that was the one. That's why I'm stuck on my own now with no support from KUFATEC at all. They didn't even want to send me the installation guide, which I eventually managed to get elsewhere in English...

    B7 A4 Cabriolet KUFATEC Roof Remote fitted

    I might have done a mistake of buying the KUFATEC Cabrio Module as oppose to the Smarttop one. The problem is that I bought the module over a year ago from an eBay seller selling some ex stock AUDI dealer parts so I don;t think this is something I can return now:( I doubt the wiring is faulty...

    B7 A4 Cabriolet KUFATEC Roof Remote fitted

    mikeb7 this cannot be true, as one of the main features of the module is 1 click opening/closing with the interior swith (as oppose to holding it) & ability to operate the roof upto 30mph (which would be again only possible with the interior swith)

    B7 A4 Cabriolet KUFATEC Roof Remote fitted

    Hi Guys, not sure whether there is anyone here who has experience with fitting the KUFATEC Cabrio Comfort Module which allows you to control the roof with 3 clicks of the remote or 1 click of the interior switch. This kit consist of two modules where one plugs into the roof module behind the...

    Best soft top waterproofer I've used

    Before, I was using AutoGlym Soft top cleaner as it lasted me much longer than the protector which came with it. As I had a few of those kits, I typicaly used the AutoGlym protector stuff in about two applications (plus it didn't last very long so i tent to apply it more often), while the...

    Best soft top waterproofer I've used

    Applied as any other soft top protector. Clean the roof first with dedicated soft top cleaner, than spray the protector and leave to dry. So far this is the longest lasting stuff I could find, and I've tried a few...

    Retrofit xenon headlight

    Basically yes. Those two wires only make the high beam work. You need to vagcom to make those xenons work properly as mine wouldn't work at all until I did the coding. Or they kind of worked but very strangely, like only one side would work when tested first and then they stopped working all...

    Retrofit xenon headlight

    You might be right, but I couldn't find the grommet you're talking about so I just run those wires through the only grommet I could find in the drivers' side wheel well.

    Retrofit xenon headlight

    As far as I'm aware there is no difference between having a manual or auto when it comes to this retrofit... The ideal way to run the wires is via the left wheel well (passenger side in the UK or driver side in Europe/US) grommet which has a number of blank holes to run these wires through. I...

    Retrofit xenon headlight

    I just did it 2 weeks ago. The most difficult part is to run the 2 high beam wires from engine bay inside the car. You will need complete set of OEM headlights (incl. ballasts), Kufatec adapters and VAGCOM coding to finish the install...

    20" RS5 Rotors on a B7

    Love those wheels! How did you get rid of rubbing? I'm running OEM RS4 19" wheels (et29) that came with standard 255/35 tyres. Had only a little bit of rubbing when bottoming out. Last weekend I put new (245/40) tyres on hoping to add a bit more comfort and eliminate the rubbing all together...

    Does Engine Look Okay? :/

    It might be the DMF on the way out. The noise and occasional rough engine movement when idling was exactly what I was experiencing with my 2.0tdi at 118k when my DMF started to go... They usually last about 50k anyway so getting anything over 100k on the original one was a nice bonus tbh..

    Recon Garrett Turbo

    Just to say guys that when my turbo finally died last weekend, I phoned up the Turbo Dynamics with intention to order a brand new Garrett unit as I didn;t want to take my chances with a recon unit. I was told by the guy on the phone that they can offer me an OEM turbo that was remanufactured by...

    Urgent Help! Turbo blown (a maybe engine) blown after using Revive.

    Anyway. I brought it back from my local AUDI Specialist yestarday and I'm happy to say that luck was on my side this time! What happend was that the use of Revive cleaner accelerated the issue and completely blown the seals on the exhaust side of the turbo (see attached pictures). Luckily the...
