    Anyone live near Diss, Norfolk/Suffolk area who could take me out in their S4 as a passenger for a few miles, so I can get a better sense of what the S4 offers? Currently have an A4 2.5 Cabriolet Cheers

    2.5 Diesel

    Cheers, LayerzA3. I'll take a look at the torque app, sounds useful. Yeah, seems to come on about 1750 to 4k. I think it was partly down to me getting used to driving with a diesel, was up shifting far too early.

    Help needed wiring up a tuning box 2.5 tdi 180bhp

    Built Maplin electronic kits in the past but never this sort of thing with a car. Wish you luck - the what appears clear, just not the how?

    Poor dipped headlight performance

    Thanks for pointing that out. I'm a tad confused though. I thought bi-xenon meant xenon HID bulbs were used for both dipped and main beam? Although I can see that some xenon bulbs have [2] HID 'elements' to them. I'm sure my car has standard halogen bulbs for main beam. I'll need to be...

    2.5 Diesel

    My first Audi Cabriolet so nothing to really compare to. My car picks up nicely in terms of torque around 1.8-2k rpm. But feels a tad flat below that to be honest. I know it's not too scientific asking this really, but is that others observation? Has 145k on the clock with replacement turbo...

    Poor dipped headlight performance

    Had a look at the reflector from my offside xenon. Coating absent, rubbing off with even a gentle rub, just missing and scorched in places. I'll be getting a kit unless I can pick up a set of reflector bowls on there own? Was a b****r removing the bowl from the headlight, I'm assuming there...

    Poor dipped headlight performance

    Cheers, for the update, Stevey. I think I'll go for the clean and polish before I splash out on the Retrofitlab kit. Looks like you have got a decent polish on them. Let us know if there is an improvement if you fit them again. Particularly as I think one or both of the rear bearings could...

    Poor dipped headlight performance

    I've done a bit of research and may look into something from these guys or similar. https://www.retrofitlab.com/blog/the-ultimate-audi-a4-b6-headlights-page/

    Poor dipped headlight performance

    Stevey. Do you have xenons for your dipped lights? If so, were you able to clean the inside of the lens that the xenon bulb sits in? I've just looked at how clear the lenses are on the images I have uploaded, it's dark now so I cant really see, but I think my lenses are not anyway near as...

    Poor dipped headlight performance

    Hey, Dan. Thanks for sharing your thinking. No yellow headlight warning light. Logically then it would seem that as you suggest, the lenses are dirty or deteriorating. I'm guessing I'll need to remove the units when I have some time, to have a proper look.

    Poor dipped headlight performance

    Yeah, I believe I do have headlight washers....small panels under the lights and no 'numbered' adjuster as in my others cars I've had. Cheers.

    Poor dipped headlight performance

    Hi Stevey I'm not 100% certain whether they are xenon's but I suspect so as I can see what looks like a ballast pack nestled on the back plates of the units. The initial higher voltage would account for the quick switch on before they settle down. The dipped lights in my units look like...

    Poor dipped headlight performance

    Hi guys I have very recently picked up my first Audi [2004 A4 soft top with 145k] and I'm very happy with one exception. The dipped headlight output is pretty poor for some reason. The bulbs work, the lenses/glass are clear. Here's the thing, I'm convinced [from observation] that when I first...
