    What is the average age of a B7 owner on this forum.

    Just about to leave the 30-40 catagory but still feeling like a 20 year old with a 60 year old back!! All I say is "the higher the number on the speedo, the more exciting things get' ......... Here's to the 40-50's

    Tatty brake calipers.

    Good shouts lads. See I've got the same wheels as gixer, the rs4 18"s, stock colour on a black 2.0T and the red looks sweet! Tooty fruity, I do like the lime green on the porsche but will look a bit loud on my car for me and as for the black" think they're tidy also but only with the s-line...

    Tatty brake calipers.

    My brake calipers are looking tired lads, dull and dirty, and are in some great need of a bit of TLC. At the moment funds are tight so there won't be any replacement only paint. The question is, do I paint them a subtle red or yellow or keep them silver? I do like the yellow calipers but not...

    Should I chip my BUL?

    Very interesting lads thanks for the feed back. I had the same thoughts as our mate 'Quattro GmbH' to be honest, £400+ for 30-40 bhp? Hmmmmm. Maybe? Thanks for the feed back also on making sure the car is sweet before any thoughts of a cheeky re-map. I've read loads of cases of a dodgey diverter...

    Should I chip my BUL?

    I've got the special ed 2.0T and I'm wondering weather to remap. It's got the stock 220bhp and there's a good garage by me with a guy who will stick a REVO chip on it for £400. The car is in excellent condition with it just touching 50k miles and I don't want to hurt it by tunning everything up...

    looking to change the cam chain and tensioner.

    Not me dude. I got a 2007 special ed, the 220 BUL engine myself and didn't have the minerals to do the job myself so good on ya mate. I paid the local Audi specialist to do it. He recommended doing a water pump while he was in there and read a few people suggesting the same. Belt tensioner and...

    Is my car a special edition?

    Ha ha yeah I've noticed that already. I bought it in sept this year with only 41k on it. I put a new cam belt on it (£400) just for peace of mind. 07 plate and manual recommends 75k or 5 years so wanted it done. Just got tracking done and new Pirelli zero's on it (£500) and she runs sweet. I...

    Is my car a special edition?

    Yeah fair enough rob. I've noticed a few differences myself. Engines seem pretty much the same (spec ed BUL 220) but extras vary quite a bit. Mine is the saloon so not sure if it varies from the avant but I've seen diffent steering wheels. Some with the sline sticker some with the suede stuff...

    Is my car a special edition?

    Ah ok. It's a fuel. My closest garage is a shell so I put v power in 99% of the time. The odd time I've been caught out. (vPower not in use or super market garage) and I can also feel a significant difference. I've read that the engine can suffer a big problem with carbon build up so I tend to...
