I had both handbrake cables replaced but they cant be reconnected to the handbrake because the handbrake has self-adjusted too far, and mechanic tells me i need to get a new handbrake lever now? Is there no way of resetting the old handbrake? I would have thought there was?? Does anybody...

Hi Doug, Hope you dont mind but I noticed you replied some time ago to a thread regarding handbrake, and you said it was self-adjusting on a B7 A4. :) well...I've a B6(?) A4 and I think it is self adjusting too, but I was wondering if you have any idea on whether it can be re-adjsuted as my...

That is the kind of direction I needed. When the battery was changed I remember it being very difficult to get in there, but not about it being wet underneath, but i will check the footwell for dampness. I think there could be something in what you say. If it is the convenience module(?) will...

Hi James, /thanks for advice, finally moved thread re warning lights and alarm problems. HAve to get fault codes identified yet. but you mentioned engine type? 1.9 TDi, what more info is there to give?? I'm not sure what else to say. Thanks for your help. Vin (clueless)

An UPDATE: Quattrojames told me I need to get faultcodes checked, which has to be done yet. Recently the alarm is going off near constantly, have to leave it unlocked or disconnect battery. It appears that alarm light on driver door goes on solid instead of the normal flashing, and that...

..it just left the building, just before the rear caliper got replaced.. So now I need to get two hand brake cables replaced, anyone know ball park figure for parts and labour? is it a time consuming job? bad timing for all the issues Im having but I suppose there is never good timing...

Thanks for that lads. Its the switch itself?? damn, hoped it was a fuse somewhere.. A mechanic told me about it but it got a bit technical for me (:blink:)so i just picked up to try starting with parking lihts on and he guaranteed it would start. A fault unique to this a4 series? So £120 from...

Hi all I have a problem starting my car, that I know is related to the lights but am unsure what part needs to be replaced? It will only start with parking lights on. I read on another forum that it is the headlight switch? What is that? a fuse? or the part for turning on the lights? Is anyone...

If anyone doesnt know: when my glovebox catch broke, I was able to prise the side panel by passenger door quite easily and push in a catch there that released the glovebox door. Think I got that bit of know how from someone on this helpful site or one other. My glovebox has been broke for a long...

I had the same problem when I tried changing the switch, rear window brakelight stayed on. As I remember it turned out one of the bulbs had blown(I think) and the other one had fallen out of the holder...?? Wasnt able to get the new switch to work but kept the old one instead. (btw there was...

hmmm...what can i say...ooops:whistle2: I replaced both brake lights, seems one had fallen out and the other blown, and had already left the original brakelght switch in place and everything was working fine again. In hindsight I should probably have done that first.. but I assumed both...
