    Front Parking Sensor "Always On"

    Thanks bud, I literally was about to pull the trigger on the 90 degree one and read this so thank you. Is it easy to navigate to unclip and reclip without taking the bumper off?

    Front Parking Sensor "Always On"

    Thanks mate, just had a look on the bay and seems reasonable at around £25 odd quid. For that I can't really complain. Looks like Genuine ones are PDC.

    Front Parking Sensor "Always On"

    Hi there, Went to put my car into reverse a week ago and one of the standard four front sensors is showing stuck and constantly on with the long beep. Not only is it annoying but its frustrating because when you do try to use it, you gotta look at the screen rather than reverse on instinct and...

    Help Please Low Battery Warning - Battery About to Go?

    Thank you both! Was on edge overnight as was more worried the alarm would activate, especially with me parking in a communal area. I do indeed have a friend nearby, it sounds like a CTEK charger would be a good shout. Do you mind me asking? Is it via the engine +/- points you use the CTEK...

    Help Please Low Battery Warning - Battery About to Go?

    Replenishing Cracked Leather

    Hi all, Am the proud owner of a new 2012 A4 B8 Black Edition. It's in pretty good condition for an 8 year old car, however, the leather on some seats, where there's been lots of use, is now showing its its age. All stitching in place and no cracks have gone all the way through, but feel like...

    New Audi Key

    Hi, Have just bought a 2012 B8 Black Edition and it has only come with one key. Is the only option for me to go to Audi or does anyone know a reputable firm in London who could also cut and code it please? Stupid question, but is it easier to pay someone to do it all or should I buy the fob...
