I'm thinking about going back to an estate car again having no need for my van anymore and was wondering what people think is the best combination of engine/gearbox spec? The car will be doing the normal bits of commuting and journeys around the local area with a few longer UK runs and probably...

Thanks for all the information here guys, especially BahnStormer. Gives me some idea of what's about and what I should be looking for.

That would explain the lack of petrol models then! I'm currently just looking into the various options but having had a quick look at BMW and Mercedes' offerings the Audi is definitely streets ahead of the others, it just may have to be a diesel instead of a petrol though.

Hopefully it won't be happening for a while but it looks like some time in the fairly near future I'll need to get rid of my current T5 van and replace it with something with a petrol engine in no small part due to the probable extension of the London LEZ meaning that I won't be able to drive to...

If anyone's looking for a cruise kit, I've got one from Crewe Audi which is brand new and unfitted as I never got round to fitting it and the car's going. I could do it for £60 posted if anyone's interested?

I messaged NHN, got a PM reply but then when I emailed him as he requested I never got any response. I can't remember who the other seller I contacted was.

Try Marshall Industrial, I bought mine from there. I also tried a few other places but never got any replies but with Marshall's I just bought it online and it turned up the following day.

I had exactly the same on the passenger side rear light unit on my Avant. I pulled the light unit out and popped it in the airing cupboard overnight to dry out. The seal wasn't sitting right so I cleaned it up and refitted it properly and it's been ok since then.

That's perfect, thanks for that. I'll have another look in the morning, I'm pretty sure I know what you mean though.

I've had a good look at the car today and it looks like I might be able to get the belt replaced without pulling the whole front out. One thing that I'm struggling to figure out is how to release the tension on the belt. I've had a good look about but can't see any obvious flats for a spanner...

What paint did you use on them?

I've noticed this weekend that the serpentine belt on my B7 is looking a little sorry for itself and is probably due a change. The front end looks a little short on space to change it and I've read somewhere that you can put the front bumper into a service position. Despite Googling it I can't...

I've got the Audi roofers on my B7 Avant and my tool is also broken! All I did was nip the clamps up with the tool and have a good swing on the roof bars to see if they moved. If they don't it should be fine :yes: I tightened mine up that way and the bars have never moved. I took the car down...

Just spotted this. How on earth can the other driver try and say it wasn't his fault? It really does amaze me when people come out with rubbish like that. Hopefully you'll be able to get the car sorted by the insurance as it was looking great before this.

I've been having the same dilemma about my 2008 B7. There's not much chance that I'll be benefitting from any goodwill from the dealers so in that respect it's not worth keeping up the dealer history but at the same time it might look a little better from a resale point of view. I was thinking...
