    HELP! Keys locked in boot

    Hey guys, the OP is my wife and she managed to get sorted, she found a really good locksmith (based in Stoke) but for £80 he drove up to Leyland, picked the door lock (in less than a minute) and used the pick to cut a new key blade in the back of his van (boot lock was too stiff to pick) and...

    What MPG ?

    I guess it depends what you're getting at the minute too, for example the Mrs averages 42mpg out of her 3.0tdi cabrio and that's with no motorway driving, a mix of town and dual carriageways. I'm sure I'd get a lot less if I was driving it more, I'd guess high 30's tops. So comparatively we...

    A4 B7 List of Affordable Modifications/Upgrades/Retrofits

    I tried menzerna (400 I think) but didn't get on with it, maybe it's better on a rotary... For ease of use and speed of results on a DA though (in my opinion) the 105 in unbeatable. I used that with the yellow heavy cut pad, 205 with the orange medium heavy, then the slight cut blue, #7 fast...

    Painting parking sensors?

    They should look spot on (better than new) if done properly, like you say they ain't the best from the factory and you'll get them looking better than that easily :)

    A4 B7 List of Affordable Modifications/Upgrades/Retrofits

    I just go with the flexipads hex logic, they're cheap and I pass thepolishingbooth on the way home from work (so often nip in on an early finish-). I recently bought a flexipads ultra soft backing plate too which I quite like.

    A4 B7 List of Affordable Modifications/Upgrades/Retrofits

    Hi bud, that's kind of the problem right there. It will take a long time to get up to pressure / temp if you're sitting at idle. This is actually a bad thing and increases the time when most damage is done. Driving the car gently (but driving the car!) is the best option, or very gently putting...

    So this start up rattle on the 3.0 tdi

    I'm going to hazard a guess that it might not actually be the "dreaded cam chain rattle on start up" then? Gutted :(

    Painting parking sensors?

    I'll be doing the following on the cab as one of them has dropped out causing them all to fail... Basically the same as painting any small part: Slight key with very fine wet and dry (I have some 2000 grit for paint correction) 2 light coats of primer, no need for plastic primer IMO as...

    What have you done to your Audi A4 B7 today?

    Quick once over with the Cali duster and a rinse of the wheels and the Mrs is off for lunch with her friends, she LOVES it! Apparently it's a bit quicker than her 1.6 bug though (can't imagine why being a 3.0 TDI) hehe

    What have you done to your Audi A4 B7 today?

    I'm pretty new round here (not to VAG, but new to Audi) Last weekend I was in Wales buying our first Audi, a nice B7 Cab (3.0tdi Quattro S-Line in Misano red) for the Mrs to replace her 2004 Bug... This weekend I've been prepping it so it's ready for some spring motoring! It's getting a full...
