Thanks for your response - Ive messaged the below two for advice/service.
@NHN @DJAlix
Very odd as its only the climate control unit and I could understand if it was the MMI/Radio
Hi All,
My climate control panel has recently slowly taken a turn for the worse - button broke off on one side and the mini orange screen which displays temperature for heating on both sides has started to blur.
Anyway - Ive replaced the part - second hand from ebay - identical part number...
All fitted and done. Once the current tyres have worn down, i may go lower profile im not sure hmmmmm.
Another thing the inside of the rear tyres are much more worn in areas that the rest. Its like in bumps. The rear shocks have a little play when you push up on them. Is this normal? Next time...
So I have purchased some Rotors brand new - test fitted them yesterday! will most likely move the tyres which are currently on the rs4 wheels at the moment! Cant wait to get them on. Coated them with wheel sealant prior to hopefully help when in use! Next step afterwards is a detail which I've...
Thanks for your advice @Dsport , sounds like a bit of a nightmare with them then.
I have looked on CM Wheels and can only find the Rotors in ET25 with 19" which is alot of wheel poke for a B8! was looking for around the ET35 mark as this would sit flush with the car on 255/35 tyres and no drop...
Hi,
I am looking to purchase some 19" Rotors for my B8 with centre caps - most likely reps as the budget but where do people purchase them from? I have looked on Ebay and found the only decent ones on the link below - but the seller seems a little unreliable and hasn't answered 2 emails I have...
So this happened today, so glad I've done it. Thanks to the guys who posted pics above! I Was going to attempt to take off the diffuser but it felt like I'd need to snap the bumper in the process! So a load of newspaper later and this is the result! Next up is the front lip which is still grey...
Thank for your comments @chop - little changes here and there at the moment I think the big change will be the wheels eventually which is looking like a next month purchase!
I am although looking at removing the Diffuser to paint - I have recently seen your old thread Chop...
Thanks for posting the pics James, I've been struggling to find any pics of the S line diffuser which has been painted anywhere! It looks so much better! I think that's now going to be on my list of mods! Can I ask is it a gloss finish or satin finish? @JamesAa
Johnny it looks so much better! you must have also read my mind also as I popped mine off this morning and done the same while I was cleaning the interior :blush:
Only been driving the car over a month so I'm happy with the small process so far lol.
One question I was going to ask...
Cheers for the comments guys! Next job will be the fogs I think then to track down some rotors to stick on :) to finish the look off, I'm so glad tinted the windows/window trim together this week it has brought it more together.
Cheapest and most effective mod has to be them rusty calipers with...
Yeah I agree the fogs are on my to do list! It would Tie up the front end more!
Chrome around the front grille? Do you mean the Audi rings?
Another question is to spray/wrap the lower part of the front bumper (grey part) but it does tie in with the the near diffuser although it is a grey...
So i thought i would start a small thread of how process has gone since owning the B8! It is a 2.0Tdi 170 edition. I originally intended not to touch the car until i got a few ideas from this site!
Pics below how she first looked when i got her..
First thing first was to change that...
So either by the sounds of it! I used Shell Helix Processional on my B7 to be honest but haven't noticed anyone recommending on B8.
Just found this also! not a bad price at all...
Hi,
What is the best oil for B8 170 2.0TDI DPF, anyone have a recommendation? I think Audi use Quantum when doing longlife service. Anyone have any recommendations? The 3 I seem to come across are:
Quantum 5w30 Long Life
Castrol EngineEdge 5w30 LongLife
Mobil Engine Oil 5W30
Thanks
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know the correct size of the Oil Filter for my 2009 B8 S line? Apparently there is two sizes? Maybe one size for the B8 and one for the B8.5? Pictures below regarding both sizes.
Thanks.
