I have just put my 2004 A4 1.8T quattro S-line saloon into the Glasgow Audi bodyshop to have both front wings replaced and the roof drain channels painted due to corrosion. The car has a Full Audi service history and has done 42000 miles. I was offered a good will contribution of 70% leaving...

Thanks for the response, i'm only looking for a straight like for like replacement though. Cheers.

I'm looking for some advice. I am looking into refreshing the suspension on my 107000 mile A4 1.8Tqs saloon and have come across a low mileage set of front and rear springs/shocks from an S4 avant. I've done some searches online and I think the rear springs & shocks will be okay. I understand...

Once you know what is happening if you could forward on a some pictures and we can take it from there. Cheers.

Hi, I've just purchased a 1.8tqs and the front drivers seat is in need of some tlc. I am looking to see if anyone has any seats for sale so I can either repair or replace my current one as it has collapsed bolsters on the seat base and a hole on the seat base cloth centre. Cheers, Steven.

The code on mine was 'H6G'.

I've checked this for mine (1.8T quattro) and according to the code printed on the sticker in the inside page of the service record book it would have been supplied from the factory with 225/45/17 91Y tyres.

Cheers for the reply. Had it in at a local VAG specialist to get a timing belt kit fitted a month ago. When I booked it in they said the water pump would be changed as part of the timing belt kit. I've just had a look at the invoice and it mentions various rollers and belts but no pump...

Hi, I'm looking for some help. I had the coolant system warning come on this evening after a 15 minute journey and the temp gauge was showing about 110 degC. The level in the system is okay and the coolant looks healthy. The only thing I noticed was the 2nd electric fan didn't appear to be...

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a standard B5 1.8T Quattro Sport Saloon or Avant with preferably under a 100k miles and full service history. Does anyone have one for sale or know of any good examples available out there? Cheers, Steven.

Some more pics.

It's a 6 speed manual. I'll sort out some more pictures tomorrow.

It is a silver/blue saloon with 89000 miles. It's standard and is the 130 bhp TDi with audi's quattro 4WD system as opposed to the haldex based 4WD you get on the new Passat. It was serviced and mot'd end of January at a local VW/Audi Specialist. It comes the usual Passat sport spec plus a...

Hi, I'm currently the owner of a 2003 Passat TDi Sport 4Motion saloon and i'm looking to change to an Audi S3. Is anyone aware of someone looking to do such a change or do you think it's highly unlikely? Thanks, Steven.

Mines is approaching 89000 miles and is still very healthy. I paid £6000 for it in May 2008, I imagine that has now drastically reduced in recent months. It is the Sport version with Black leather so looks okay inside and has no garish fake wood. I can't fault the Passat really as...
