    Dashcam hardwire

    Not really answering your question but I run mine from the OBD2 port with one of these, loads on Amazon depending on what connector your camera has...

    Yeah SQ5's, 8.5's with the standard Allroad tyre size of 245/40's. They only poke 3mm more than the previous wheels so no rubbing at all and it drives great, far more refined than the XC60 on air and 255/40's. Bought some Thules so I can get the bike on it instead of having to use the van, very...

    My last one had factory colour coded arches but I actually quite like the arches on this one, subtle difference and keeps it Allroad instead of A6. Not done much this week, my ebay centre caps weren't quite the right shade so painted and de chromed them. It's performing well on work...

    The old B7's still alive and strong, current owner got in touch with me a year or so ago.

    Same, 4x4 and the ability to raise the suspension is essential for me, my job takes me to all manner of places. The Volvo was a decent car, not brilliant but my main issue was I just didn't enjoy driving it and SUV's just aren't my style. Thanks and do agree. It's a fine line but the Allroad...

    Roof rails and wheels on. Rails were a proper pain and a bit harder than the C7, probably would have been quicker to completely remove the head lining. Over the moon with the wheels, fitments pretty decent and I can't believe how comfortable it is on 21's even when in dynamic mode. My C7 had...

    Couple more things ticked off the list this week, Window trims wrapped gloss black, RS steering wheel arrived, slightly chunkier but feels so much nicer than the old one. Wheels are supposed to be ready for collection tomorrow, looking to forward to see how they turned out. Ordered a...

    Gave it a good clean at the weekend, it's shocking how bad dealers are at prepping cars for sale. Picked up new wheels, trial fitted and dropped off for a refurb in their OEM finish. Cars booked in tomorrow to dechrome the window trims so hopefully that goes well.

    Pretty much standard A6 inside although it has the extended leather package, think the only difference is leather along the transmission tunnel

    Been away for a bit, not very enjoyable 2 years in an XC60 but back in the fold now. Picked up a 2020 Allroad from Perth Audi this week and got some plans for it;) So far the plan is to dechrome the window trims, powder coat the roof bars satin black and a new RS flat bottom steering...

    What have you done to your Audi A4 B7 today?

    I use a very small gas torch to heat the fitting up and burn back some of the plastic coating off the pipe, works a treat everytime.

    S4 onto A4 rear brake upgrade.

    If you're not changing the carrier does the pad not sit in exactly the same place so actually there's no actually performance gain or are the pads wider to reach the outer edge of the disc?

    B7 cab diffusor/valance on avant?

    Doesn't fit, The B7 cab rear bumper is the same as was fitted to the B6 cab so not compatible with the B7 avants/saloons.

    A6 Allroad -18 Wheelsize?

    You should be able to measure and compare it off your own car with a plumb line from the inner edge of the trim. The wheel will move slightly in at the top as it travels upwards so you've got a small safety factor with that.
