    Front wheel bearing. how much at Audi?

    I had the offside front replaced at Reading Audi last week. Bearing was 111.75 plus VAT. Labour was £195 plus VAT. Now I can't hear the offside front humming, I thing the near side needs doing :(

    A4 Avant TDI Quattro or Allroad ??

    I have a S-Line Quattro avant (3.0 Oil Burner). The ride is firm and very positive, I run 18" wheels in Winter and 19" in Summer, prefer the ride on the 18" on the lanes, as it's just a bit more forgiving. It's definitely more of a fast A / B Road car, although happy enough on M-Ways and D/Cs...

    Roof box or trailer???? Tow bar missing

    Roof Box vs. Trailer? Depends on where you are going, ferry prices tend to be more for Car + Trailer over Car + Roof Box, I actually end up going on our annual camping trip with Car + Trailer + Roof box with an Avant, and seem to pay through the nose for my ferry / chunnel space - I end up...

    Winter tyres

    I have my 18" BBS SR with Nokian Winters on now. I do like the ride, over the BE 19" s. I'm on a lot of country roads, with lots of standing water and fallen leaves. Grip wise they are so much better in these conditions, and it only gets worse (even with quattro) They have been on a month, due...

    Alloys and Tyres !!! Dilemma time

    I have a A4 Avant S-line BE on 19s but bought some 18s for last winter (with winter tyres). There is a definite change in the ride between the two, with the 19s you do feel every bump. 18s much more forgiving. I like a firm ride so I've no problems, but going from 18 to 19 you will notice it...

    Audi Tow Bar ?

    I haven't seen the folding version like the A6 one on the YouTube clip - probably glad I haven't seen the price either. The removable Audi towbar is the Westfalia one, and easily fitted. Pfjones.co.uk about the cheapest, they can supply only or supply and fit including the coding. I took the...

    Karls 3.0 TDI build thread

    The exhaust mod has me thinking of a Milltek Valvesonic system that I read about a long time ago. Did It ever happen? Now I'm the wrong side of 50 there still a part of me that would like the noise for say 30 minutes a week, and the ability to flick a switch would be mega cool. I've seen some...

    3.0 TDI MPG and also Remap

    I'm normally getting 36mpg'ish, mixed Mway / A-roads, which is less than I had reckoned on when I changed, coming from a very frugal manual 2.0TDI A6 Avant. Mines an Auto Avant. I was thinking I'd be getting low 40s, which I only every see when I'm taking it very easy on the Mway. Sitting in...

    A4 Avant S-Line Tow Bar Coding

    Thanks - maybe I'll take a look at the instructions and have a go myself! I was pretty handy with the tools a few years ago, just too lazy now and got bitten by a couple of 'simple' jobs that took days!

    A4 Avant S-Line Tow Bar Coding

    Sorry to dig this up. But is the consensus that the Westfalia is the best looking detachable bar ? The bumper cut looks pretty well hidden, it would of course depend on the fitter. Any recommendations for a supply and fit in the Berks/Bucks/Oxon area. The car is a 3.0 TDI Avant 2011.

    Worth contacting Brodster, as my rims came from Rimstyle via him and he was able to improve the listed price.

    Which Alloy wheels can I put on my A4 for winter

    Thanks for the feedback on the wheels, I think they'd look good on a White car. With them being BBS they are TUV certified for an A4, and come with the correct spigot for the A4 centre bore and bolts for the different shoulder angle of the wheel, you would need new locking bolts. I'm running...

    Which Alloy wheels can I put on my A4 for winter

    I have been meaning to post this for a while, I've bought a set of 18' BBS SR's from Brodster. BBS list them as having a finish that is suitable for Winter. I already had the tyres from my A6 for 18's, but had to change rims as the centre bore is different. Might be a little close to the body...

    S4 Winter wheels

    Hi folks I have fallen foul of the Audi Offset / Centre Bore changes between platforms today, as I went out and tried my newly refurbed A6 Winter Wheels, on my A4 3.0TDI (sadly not an S4). Of course they don't fit :( Centre bore is wrong and I didn't even get to see if the offset is an issue...

    Which Alloy Pedals - Auto ?

    Hi there, I'm new to the forum, having just swapped my C6 A6 for a B8 A4 3.0TDi Avant BE. I'd like to get alloy pedals, but I can't get an answer from Audi Parts on which pedals I can use and have a matching Alloy dead pedal. They gave me the following: Accelerator pedal cap: £42.05inc.vat...
