    Front indicator glass

    Can you easily get a replacement clear glass indicator covers for the B7 with standard headlights? The Xenon headlamps seem to have clear look indicators, yet the normal halogen lamps have quite bright orange dishes inside the front lamps. the look of the front of the car with Xenons seems...

    A4 Avant 2.0 TFSI 220PS Test Drive

    Hi folks - thought i'd do a short report on the test drive i had today in an A4 Avant S-Line Spec.Ed. I asked to test drive the petrol TFSI as after driving a 138bhp 2.0 TDI Seat Altea, and the previous car (a 1.9 130bhp TDI Golf Mk IV) i was tiring of diesels and wanted to see just how far...

    Deep Sea Blue ? What do you reckon?

    thanks chaps :) I like black too, but only when its 100% clean, which for me is tricky to keep up to, the deep sea blue looks like it will be just as bad to keep clean, but i liked the photo of it because when it is clean it looks a little bit different. I looked round Leeds audi today...

    Deep Sea Blue ? What do you reckon?

    I've stayed away from this colour on the configurator, because it looked a bit grey, but after searching the net i've found a couple of good sites for photos of audi's (why Audi can't host decent photos of thier own cars on thier website i'll never know) :) Here's the configurator colour...

    Puncture!!!

    one rule with kwik-fit - Never visit them, always get the mobile fitter to come out and do tyres / punctures. We get them coming out to the fleet cars at work, and Kwik Fit quite sensible don't let the YTS chimps out in the mobile fleet vans to meet customers, so you always get a knowledgable...

    Anyone else use car washes ?

    I used to use car washes until i took a previous car through an Esso wash near Barnsley one day - it was a black car, and the car wash was faulty (i found out later) - there wasn't any water being put through the brushes... ... so after the "damp" plastic brushes had spent 4 or 5mins going...

    did this metal paddle option ever get anywhere? I've looked on the audiworld site and can't see a mention of it. If anyone has a definate source for these (whether audi or aftermarket or home made) please can they let me know.

    production delay!

    i've been told the same by Audi Wakefield - the 2.0 TDi engine is in such high demand by all the VAG group that cars with this engine are taking longer to supply, the 1.9 or 2.5 units can be sourced a lot quicker

    Speed camera detectors

    origin b2 is very good, but harder to install than the others, and you need extra kit if you want to plug it into a 2nd car easily. There are talks about making these devices illegal, so if i were buying one today i'd go down the PDA route, then if you get stopped by the police, it would have...

    Cupla things...

    i'd agree the photos in the brochures make the car look a bit lower than they do in real life, its either a trick of the photographer, or audi do lower the cars, or they've got Andy Fordham and Rick Waller stuffed inside

    DSG test drive

    forgot to add one minor gripe of the system.... when you've got the wheel turned more than 90 degrees (example = going round a roundabout) and you need to change gear, you find the paddles are not in the position you'd normally find them! - so you need to be switched on to work out where the...

    DSG test drive

    finally got a drive in the DSG model at Alexander Audi today - they have a cancelled order 3-door sport model 2.0 TDI DSG (it was either black or lava grey - too rainy and windy to stand outside admiring the car - the idea of the visit was to get behind the wheel:) ) First few hundred yards i...

    18" alloys on Sportback TDI sport?

    Lancaster Audi in Manchester were better a huge outfit with loads of cars there, although still a small showroom. It seems that most places limit themselves to having no more than 6 cars in the glass box. They have a 3-dr A3 2.0 TDI DSG S-line available for demo, but you need to book a few...
