I have exactly the same predicament Rob.
Clean the car then by the time I get in to drive it it’s covered in dust

Hi Dan,My little girl was sat in my car listening to music last night. When I got in this morning I’d picked up a new passenger:

She said her and Morty were on a space mission to find Rick Sanchez. She’s 5
Cheers Dan,@mikep99 - my wheel is from an 08 plate S3 mate. They’re plug and play on the later model b7’s so long as you have a dual stage airbag.
You can tell if you have a dual stage when you remove your airbag. If it has 2 connections on the back, one green one purple from memory, your good to go.
All the steering wheel functions work as well.
managed to pick it up with the airbag for £300 on eBoss last year
It really brings the interior of the car up to date. Compared to my old SE steering wheel with the rectangle airbag it is 110% better
I went with performance remap in Gloucester will have launch control added and speed limiter removed just basic stuff nothing to crazy, thanks for the heads up on the k04 I think I'm going to keep saving for the E63 though, the Mercedes is where my heart lies I did try with the Audi and I am really interested to see how it feels after the map, if the clutch holds up so they get the most out of that vis hpfp I think it will be easily on par with the stock 300hp golf r's and s3's so for an old girl that should keep her up to date, power wise, but I got a 700+ hp luxury ultimate man machine bug I'm wanting to itch so my focus is on that@Ricky Burrows - where have you booked it in mate? Have you got a spacer on your HFC? Mine would throw a code all the time until I put one on
@Owenb7avant has a K04 for sale if your tempted?
Defiantly agree with that Dan well maybe not the special edition but defiantly the dtm's should have came with ko4's like the ed30 golfs of that era as it was supposed to be a "special" car giving it the same engine and power as a normal A4 was a terrible idea, that's the only reason why I wouldn't touch a dtm unless it had a k04 fitted but moment you do that you killed the value of the car anyway you cant win lol.The K04 is worth it. The SE should have came out of the factory with one. Really livens the car up.
I always felt the car was underpowered when I was running the stock set up. It’s lively now, like I said in my other post I had the brakes smoking yesterday ha ha
Stunning Alex, looks super cleanJust about returned for a few days away in the Peak District, safe to say my bus isn't well suited to bumpy country roads, the rear wheels spent a bit of time rubbing the inner arches, but still got some nice pictures once we made it

Figuring out a way to get the finances now rather than another 5 months like planned for the e63 but im not sure yet mate if its not possible then ill keep my options open nothing else really tickles my fancy tbh, yeah the b8 s4 has the best engine gives me old b5 rs4 vibes being a big litre v6 turbo
More than likely because the A4 is more useable/appealing as its more family orientated, looks wise it will have to be the b8.5 the b8's are a bit of an ugly duckling interiors are nice on both though saying that though all Audis from 2010 onwards seem to have upped there game drastically.Looked at the B8 S5? Better looking car IMO and when I initially went looking for an S4 I was able to find S5s with more options and better condition for the same price
It would, but i have too many other projects ongoing without the car failing me!Allways something Alex, life would be a bit boring otherwise..
You don’t have LEDs on the trailer do you? When I hooked up my boat trailer after installing towbar the lights were doing all sorts of weird things. I thought I’d messed something up with the wiring but was just the LEDs on the trailer not drawing enough juice. Resistors on every light sorted it out

My car sits on original sline suspension and they need to be changed. What’s your recommendations? I like the rear stance but the front needs to go lower. I haven’t checked if it’s the dampers or the springs that’s the issue yet, but I’ve heard sline’s not the best... even tho I think they ride pretty ok.
Fitted a pair of new rear springs today and a new steering rack boot. Also gave the rear discs and backing plates a quick tart up too whilst i was there.
Be glad when the new springs settle in, its like I've fitted a lift kit lol

Installed my new (old) MFSW today, got it pretty cheap so it got a few marks here and there that I’ll try to work on. Waiting for the new wiring loom and slip ring before I can code it, already got the correct comfort module so that’s a positive.
Today I connect the mfsw buttons to the airbag wiring loom myself, searched far and wide and finally found the correct diagram. Connected and coded and everything works perfectly. I’ll leave the photo here in case other needs it.thanks but I’ll stick to this wheel, but if you got the pinout for adding the multi function connector to the wiring loom myself I would appreciate that
Could you give me a run down in fitting resistors on the lights please. I have weird ESD happening to my trailer and caravan rear lights after fitting LEDs.
Thanks.
Here’s a couple pics. I just basically got 6 resistors 21w12v to mimic normal bulbs and put them in line on each positive wire. Married all the negatives together and glued them into a sealed aluminium box on the trailer. There was enough slack in my trailer wiring so I didn’t have re-run any of it
Ok, does that effort mean that the LED bulbs are more effective than filiment bulb fitment?
What do you mean by effective?
I’d just installed a new waterproof sealed set of leds on the boat trailer so just did this to make them work. They worked fine when hooked up to my Hilux. Normal bulbs would be fine if I didn’t already have the led set installed

I mean are LEDs worth all the extra hassle of fitting resistors?
I've fitted tail light and indicator bulbs to me trailer and caravan and had nothing but issues with them since. I think traditional bulbs might be the answer.
I just replaced with sachs ones bud, springs breaking is common on B7s especially AvantsWhat springs did you use one of y rears has snapped.
