    Knocking noise from the front?

    I too have a knock from the front, left in my case, only when on left hand down in forward (at low speed, can't put that much lock on at speed!) I suspect the cv joint in my case (165K) :-( What's your mileage? do you get it on both locks/straight line, forward and/or reverse? Speed/slow? mjcp

    Optional Extras for the B5

    Don't forget the local importer can spec "Packs" or "bundles" I had an A3 1.8T sport from new in '98. Audi UK offered a £500 (vs £1150 ish list) climate option but you didn't get the (standard) sunroof. They also had (IIRC) some sort of "lux" pack - remote locking and BOSE stereo. Your...

    This is not a how to, if you follow it as a how to, if you break your car, that's your problem. Mr Muscle is nasty stuff, follow the instructions on the can. I used thick rubber gloves and safety specs. My car was COLD (not run for 18 hours cold). On to the post: My car is '99 "T" mid...

    Just another noob question thread ;-) was suspension, now sounds

    Thanks for all the help everyone! I don't recall the A/C being on but I may have hit auto and forgot the Econ button (doh!)

    Just another noob question thread ;-) was suspension, now sounds

    Ok, so no to £99 suspension, yes to quality parts. Check! Now, next question... Did my first 100 mile day today, I noticed after one leg, I thought I heard a slight hissing sound after I got out of the car. tonight after the last leg, I noticed it again, It seemed to be coming from the top...

    Just another noob question thread ;-) was suspension, now sounds

    Such as here. £99 for the front end rods and bushes etc. I've heard it suggested that the front end needs redoing every 50K or so the thought of £400+ every 4 years vs £99 every 4 is relevant. even if its every 2, that's still half price! n.b. mines a 99T, part facelift 2.5Tdi Q Avant on...
