I've just acquired a 2002 A6 1.9 tdi sport which needs some work for an MOT. It needs both front lower arms replacing (the straight lower arms that the shocks attach to). I know from past experience that there are two different sizes of balljoints for these arms - can anyone confirm for me which...

I'm looking to replace the brake discs and pads all round on my 2006 A4 3.0 tdi quattro 233 (chipped to 294). Having priced up Brembo OE spec replacement parts, the whole lot comes to just shy of £300. Are there any other decent brands that are worth considering? Should I be looking to go for...

I regularly get between 480 and 500 miles to a tank in my A4 3.0 tdi s-line 233 manual, obc reading is usually sitting between 45 - 47mpg.

Thanks! Might just go for the spring kit, don't want it too low though as I use the car every day. The car is a manual, and is the tdv with the dpf and 233bhp output. Took me ages to find one with a decent spec. It has the full 2 tone heated leather, factory sunroof, 6 cd in-dash changer...

Have had this now for about 9 months and love it to bits! The power fom the 3.0 tdi is so addictive and it still returns about 44MPG's on my daily commute - its the best of both worlds. Just recently fitted the new wheels, they are 8.5J x 19" Zito 935 wheels, I took quite a while to decide what...

I am looking to change the wheels on my B7, partly because 2 of mine need a refurb and all 4 tyres need replacing, and noticed that a set of B8 S-line 5 spoke wheels can be had second hand with decent tyres for a good price. I am aware of the difference in centre bore size, but a set of spigot...

Hi all, i have been away from this forum for a while after selling my previous A4 1.9 TDi. I have a MG ZT CDTi at the moment, but after having a drive in a friend's A4 3.0 TDi S-line, i am now considering one myself. I have noticed that there are 2 outputs for this engine, my friend's car is a...

No, all 4 spacers are identical :icon_thumright:

The spacers were bought from ebay, but are high quality alloy spacers, £45 a pair! No idea of the manufacturer, but they are specific to Audi and VW fitment with the correct spigot for centring the wheel on the spacer when fitted. Right, did you have the chamfer on the actual spacers machined...

I am having a few problems with fitting 10mm hub-centric spacers to the rerar of my A4. I bought a full set of spacers, and the fronts went on fine, but the rears don't want to go on. They are the correct PCD and the correct centre bore, but it seems that the spigot length on the rear hubs is...

I would go for this: A6 3.0 TDi Quattro S-line Multi-tronic Saloon in Ibis White with almost all the boxes ticked! RRP: £49,150.00 GBP ROTR Price: £49,985.00 GBP Options = 19" ‘20-spoke two-piece’ design alloy wheels = 440.00 Valcona leather with embossed S line logo in the...

My A4 just turned 140k last week, my new Passat is only on 82k, and the old 80 sport has just 115k on it, and it's 21 years old this year!

Aw well, my 97 A4 tdi 110 is just run in then with 140k under its belt:yes:

"] Here's a couple of my old A4 before i went on my hols!

Hi Siena, the image in my initial thread is of an actual A4 B5 kit as confirmed by the supplier. The individual shocks arrived in seperate boxes, and the 4 springs were just loose in the box. I am just wandering if there should be new strut tops supplied or not, and whether these springs will...
