My A4 1.9TDI has started occasionally idling at about 1200 and holding revs for a bit after I let off the accelerator. I've also observed it just revving a bit on its own. Like it will rev up to about 1200rpm by itself. My suspicion is an air leak or something, but I'm not sure. I just said I'd...

Your car looks to be a B7, so its in the wrong forum. Same bonnet latch as a B6 though. I'd imagine the cable either popped out or snapped. Here is a video I found on google. Hopefully it helps. Its going to be a ball ache to free that latch. Not sure if removing the grille will help or not. I...

My bonnet release cable/latch is getting sticky lately. It takes a fair pull to get the bonnet to release and it often doesn't "pop" open. You have to go and pull the actual bonnet to get it to pop open and stick out the little leaver to open it fully. Also the release on the interior doesn't...

That was my first thought, but it didn't seem to work. It normally would switch the LCD in the centre on and off, but the milage and clock under the Speedo and tacho would always stay on. It's a strange one.

Ok lads, this is an odd one. My A4s cluster is acting. A bit odd. The car starts and drives fine, but the cluster is only partly working. Revs and speed works as does the temp gauge. The fuel doesn't, but that's an ongoing issue related to something else. The lights above the LCD all seem to...

Nice to see a fellow paddy on here. Also nice to see someone keeping one on the roads here. So many of them ended up as breakers. I've had my B5 S4 parked up all summer and I find that more things break the longer I leave it. It was supposed to hit the roads again at the start of May this year...

I bought it new from Ilexa a few years ago and registered it so I should be grand. Fingers crossed I get a solution lol.

Cheers for the tip. It is legit, so it can't hurt to sign up and see what answers I can get there too.

I can't seem to get rid of this code stored in the ABS Module. I've followed Ross Techs video on doing a System Function Test. but I'm not having any luck getting it to clear. Its a slightly different code as shown in their video. If anyone has any advice, let me know. Here is the video I...

My friend called it and me gay when I bought it as my first car in 2011. That coming from a lad that drove a 98 fiesta has his first car. It wasn't my first choice of colour, but it was Quattro, had heated seats, a satnav and loads of other interior extras so I wasn't going to turn it down...

Definitely crystal blue metallic. Same as my A4.

You could get a custom one made if you can find a reputable exhaust shop. A catback shouldn't be too much work, but the downpipe is a balls to make if you are going for 3 inch.

I think you'd be better off parking it up in a heated shed and leaving it alone if you are wanting it to be an futureall original future classic. Then go and buy another one that you can actually enjoy. I might be mad, but I don't think modifications would hurt the value of a car as long as...

Bleed them with a pressure bleeder and VCDS if possible. I recently bled my B5 S4 with Brembo 18Z 6 pots up front and I couldn't get the pedal to firm up at all until I bled using VCDS. I wasn't even sure if I did it correctly or not, I just opened the nipples and bled each caliper as normal...
