    Ignition barrel/housing failure

    Sounds like you need to change the ignition lock housing. Part number 4B0905851B. About £90 new or you can risk a second hand one. Same thing happened to me a few years ago so I know it's a little tricky to replace but doable. The housing is held with two bolts that can only be removed...

    Mats...

    Think I'm about ready to buy another set as its easy to wear down the area under the brake pedal... Any chance of a group buy for these if there's enough of us wanting a set??

    What have you done today?

    Replaced the original fuel pump at 149k miles. Fairly straightforward DIY job thanks to the available guides. VDO 4.0 bar fuel feed unit: Part number 228-233-005-009Z. Audi wanted close to £380 but the part I picked up from AUTODOC was £220. Worth replacing if you have high miles as the...

    Alternator or Battery

    No worries. It's easy enough to change but very tight in there... Lots of guides available to help. The hardest part was lifting the damn thing out of the bay.

    Alternator or Battery

    I went down the route of trying to replace the regulator first a few weeks ago when I had a similar issue but that didn't solve the problem. Had to buy a new alternator but still have the nearly new (tried once) Bosch Regulator if you're interested.

    new headlight group buy

    Managed to fit mine over the weekend although my passenger side one needs adjusting for sure. The light output is immense and the new headlights give the front end a new lease of life and well worth the upgrade! https://s20.postimg.org/vfnmjjm9p/IMG_6164.jpg

    alternator dead...?

    Hi, I replaced mine at the weekend. Picked one up from Euro Car Parts for £115 (exchange). They have two Bosch versions on the website and the one recommended for an AMK engine was slightly cheaper. Scrap yard had one for £50 with a months warranty but if you buy from ECP you'll get a...

    Best tyres people have found

    Michelin Pilot SuperSports!!! Had these for a couple of months now and they are by far the best in terms of improving grip, cornering, acceleration and control, I could go on. They are just immense!! My only concern is how long they last as they're not cheap.
