My knob rattles :hubbahubba: The little silver one on the handbrake. I recently had a coolant leak too, the heater matrix sprung a leak and dumped steam into the cabin via the vents. Smelled awful, could see a damn thing as the windows misted instantly! Fixed now, keep ousting the...

I managed to run mine out in 22K for both the front and rears, but then that is a lot of country roads with 0-60-0 a lot of the time and I do drive hard. I now have redstuff pads all round and EBC sport discs on the front and now find that the braking is much more responsive. The thing that...

Have you physically checked your pads? This sounds similar to the noise mine made when the discs and pads needed changing There is only one pad depth sensor on the front nearside pad. When I heard this noise it was comming from the rears, I had about 1mm of pad left but the discs had...

I have the votex full kit on mine, and bought some audi mudflaps for it. They do fit with a little help of a stanley knife. I made a couple of templates from the skirts and cut out the back side of the flap(the front is ok) Looks fine

Hi Folks Just a few picture then I'll give you my thoughts on them Picture of the front of the caliper, the blue arrow points to the place to pry the spring out. You need o remove this first, and reinstall it last as it makes life a lot easier, in fact you can't replace the...

They had been fitted to the oem rotors. I'll let you know how the wear goes! The pads have a special coat which allows them to be used straight onto the existing disc(rotor) What do you mean by tracked? Still have audi fluid. Will wait and see how this fares...... No you have to turn...

Ok so I Have done the rear calipers and have some photos You will need 13mm Spanner 15mm Spanner Screwdriver to use a pry 6" G cramp Mull grips New Pads! Lubrication About an hour of time 1. Put car in gear, take off handbrake and chock front wheels. 2. Loosen wheel nuts, jack...

Yes I'm afraid 15.5 is the trip 2, the trip 1 can be as low as 11 on a 20 mile trip to work I am a perpetually late person ;)

Well I hink that the offside caliper may have been installed badly when I had them changed recently as this is the ony one that has worn and it was uneven. The nearside only ahd about 5mm on them As for MPG average 15.5 Driving Fast around country roads, regulary up to speed and off again...

I would be very cautious about leaving it to the brake indicator as it is only installed on the front nearside pad, so any uneven wear will ****** it up. I have just run through a set of pads in 8,000 miles, the front offside was the lowest and nearly so low the disc was at risk. This is the...

Hi all Have just fitted EBC red stuff pads to the front of the car, will be doing the rears at the weekend. After much cursing and swaring and having a little tantrum they are now fitted. Still trying to get the black off my hands! Quick overview of front pad Change. Loosen wheel nuts...

Which end of the cable is broken, Car side or pad side? The bit that clips to the car is car side, so getting this fixed may be a little more tricky.

I used to have that problem on both of my doors, driving me and the wife mad. Used Meguiars trim detailer on all of the rubbers and plastic inside and ouside, all of the way round the door. This seems to have cured it. Seems to last longer than washing up liquid :arco:

When mine had a problem I got the audi tech guys to come and pick it up. This seemed to get round the fact that after it was driven to the dealer it got better when it warmed up. Like tibbs my gearbox had become clunky, and at time difficult to slide into gear. Then i got the slippping...

usual late to work run 12 driving miss daisy to work run 28 lowest ever seen on DIS 6 (not the average!)

I managed to get a split in front bumper, too busy trying not to get cut up to notice car in front had stopped :( 5 inch split over nearside close to washers. £140 for repair and respray. can't tell its been done. :) will let the miserable gits in next time though :keule:

yeah my dealer didn't have a scooby when I took mine in, initially the installed a "software patch", which i took to mean they''d changed the ecu code. Dealer had taken it for a test drive and it "was fine". Drove to work the next day and same problem. Dealer picks car up from work and takes...

The problem with mine was very similar. In the cold it wasmuch worse, after it had been driven and warmed up it was much better. It was all replaced under warranty including the clutch. This sounds like a problem somewhere on the drivetrain to me. It would have to have been driven very...

Mine started to develop odd problems that felt like clutch slipping, dealer took it scratched head, rplaced clutch (very worn sir!) at 16,000. That made it worse, turned out needed new gearbox. All fixed now.

The argument about all of bose stuff will go on for a long time..... Personally I had to re-rip all of my CD's that were encoded at 192 mp3's up to 320 as I could tell the difference between them, and it was annoying me, on my Bose phatnoise combination. My Saturday job was a Hi-Fi...
