    Audi A4 daytime running bulbs

    Sorry, haven’t been on for a while. I’m based in the north east so wouldn’t be worth it for you really...probably be cheaper to get Audi to do it for what you would spend in fuel, ha!

    Window Tinting

    Welcome... Although I haven't had mine done yet (I got a quote for £135) for the Rear 5x windows...Suppose it depends on location as to what people charge. Unless you have a big enough garage to get the work done by a mobile company, I would always get done at their premises, to prevent...

    Audi A4 daytime running bulbs

    No worries... I was a little apprehensive at first & actually put it off for months, but pleased I done it. Even though the headlights were a bit of a pain to remove, the actual swapping of bulbs etc. wasn't too bad. So much so, that I was thinking of replacing them for people, but after about 5...

    Audi A4 daytime running bulbs

    I’ve not long done mine - https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/new-daytime-running-lights-drls.399815/...I’m assuming they are the same? Was a pretty easy mod (once the headlights are removed - my bolts were a bit tough but nothing a bit WD40 couldn’t sort). I tried messaging T8ups but didn’t...

    Windscreen washer jets fan type

    This was 1 of the 1st mods I done as the 3 jet type 1s are horrendous! I agree with others that although they are an upgrade, they are not as good as some of the fan spray types out there. I bought some like what 'Marky007' posted. They were a simple swap with no need for anything additional. If...

    Stage 1 Remap & Carbon Deep Clean

    I think it’s 1 of those where there will be mixed opinion based on experience following the remap. Yeah I’d read up about the uprated turbo in the 170hp, & majority of problems (blown turbos etc.) were from people remapping the 140... but as with cars which aren’t remapped, parts will fail...

    Stage 1 Remap & Carbon Deep Clean

    Well yesterday I got my A4 Allroad remapped along with a carbon deep clean... was just doing a bit of research & turned out they were around my area doing another job so just bit the bullet & went for it. Was through Northern Performance & got a combo deal for £280. I haven’t done much testing...

    Help Please Considering A Re-Map On The Avant - Thoughts?

    Just had mine done by Northern Performance last night along with a 'carbon deep clean'...early days yet & still plenty of testing remains but initial thoughts are that it is much more responsive in each gear, feels a lot smoother between the gears & is definitely quicker as I tested on a...

    Help Please Auto start stop / reason codes

    As mentioned above, if you hook it up to find out what fault codes are there it will save a lot of the guess work. Mine didn't work since I bought the car (2nd hand of course) so I hooked mine up & a few codes were thrown up including the Glow Plugs (which I thought was going to be the root...

    New Daytime Running Lights (DRLs)

    I finally decided to bite the bullet & change the DRLs from them horrid yellow/orange things to some nice white LEDs. I couldn’t have picked a worse day for it as it was lashing it down, but I pulled it into the garage (as much as I could) and began the work. Hardest thing in my opinion was...

    Rear Brake Help!

    Finally got the Rear discs, pads, callipers & tyres changed... the vibe has gone at motorway speeds now so not sure which cured it (maybe a combo of 1 or 2 of them) but I’m happy it’s sorted, even if I am skint now!! Thanks for all your help and suggestions...

    Rear Brake Help!

    I know what your saying about it being a waste of £80 but I’ve decided to buy the pair, get everything replaced then it’s a fresh new set on the rear. Although not sticking in the RH it looks quite corroded & maybe a clean would have sufficed but hopefully this means I can just get them done &...

    Rear Brake Help!

    Thanks for all the advice... much appreciated! I agree with the comment about regular maintenance would prevent surprise big bills. My thinking in getting the other calliper done was for an extra £80 (compared to the cheapest single price) I thought might as well get done at once.

    Rear Brake Help!

    I had a good look today and the pad has worn right down so that’s a set of new rear pads, the disc looks to have ‘burn’ marks (assuming from the seized brake) so that’s a new set of rear discs. The only thing I can’t comment on is the calliper. I found a set on eBay for £190 (as opposed to £250+...

    Rear Brake Help!

    Apologies, I was meant to says vibration not rattle...And that’s what I thought about the balancing on only 3 wheels, so when I spoke with the garage again, they said the reason for only balancing 3 was that the 4th tyre needed replacing so was pointless (I must have missed him saying that). So...

    Mirroring your phone on the MMI

    Looks very similar... this is the 1 I got (https://unique-ad.co.uk/product/audi-a4-carplay-box/). If you like doing things yourself it’s not that bad, all plug & play so just unplugging factory wires, adding new 1s then plugging originals back into them. I also fitted reverse camera which was a...

    Rear Brake Help!

    Thanks for your advice... my thinking was that the other 1 may not be much further behind from failure (& looking at them through the wheel they look a bit corroded) and also wasn’t sure if it would cause any pull or anything on the rear brakes. I’m going to double check with the garage today as...

    Rear Brake Help!

    So I finally got round to taking my car in for wheel balance today to try and get rid of the rattle but didn’t get them all done (only 3) as was told the LH RR Caliper was seized (they managed to free it but chances are it will seize again) They also said this is probably the cause of the...

    Mirroring your phone on the MMI

    I don’t even have MMI or AMI port, mine is through Aux cable with everything connected centrally to a box unit which I have above my glovebox. Kit purchased from Unique Auto Developments. I can get google maps, stream music, make calls, use voice recognition. It’s really good for the price in...

    Mirroring your phone on the MMI

    There are 2x options showing up but not sure what the difference is...maybe someone with an Android can help you out there.
