    A4 B7 Avant Bose wiring loom

    Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Yeah, there is a front center speaker. I think if the weather was better and I had a long weekend, I would probably strip the interior and give it a go. ..but it's too cold, wet and this 3rd lockdown has made my interest in my car almost zero.

    A4 B7 Avant Bose wiring loom

    I've managed to get my hands on full set of Bose speakers and sub, including the wiring loom which connects from the sub. Am I correct in thinking, the front/center speakers are powered from the head unit and the rear speakers are powered from the sub? Would someone be able to point me in the...

    Window drop won’t go up

    That's snapped - You'll need to replace it. Which funnily enough happened to mine about a month ago. It's a fairly easy job which took me a couple of hours. This is the replacement I used for the passenger side...

    TBH - I tried that, but couldn't see a clear path without removing a lot of parts to get there. Ware's the bumper is only 14 bolts/screws and it's off.. ...famous last words, right?!? :racer:

    Picked mine up from Amazon, but I went with a slightly different version: OSRAM XENARC NIGHT BREAKER LASER D1S Ohhh...and it's a bumper off job as I've got big hands and don't fancy breaking my fingers trying to fit them!

    Osram canbus control unit

    The Xenon's are staying, just new bulbs. I'm looking at replacing the DLR with these: https://www.osram.com/ecat/LEDriving%20PREMIUM-LED%20signal%20lamps-Car%20lighting-Automotive/com/en/GPS01_3380669/PP_EUROPE_Europe_eCat/ And the fogs with these...

    Osram canbus control unit

    Since I'm going to be replacing the Xenon Bulbs, thought I'd upgrade the rest of the headlight bulbs while the bumper is off and the headlights out. Looking at the Osram retrofit LED's. Does anyone know if I'll need the canbus control unit for each set?

    Thanks Rob - appreciate the detailed response! I'm thinking this is turning into project car time - yay! Well I suppose this will keep me busy if we're going back into lockdown. Will probably start with the front timing and work my way forward from there... after I'm run proper diagnostics on...

    Thanks Rob - Sounds silly, but I've tried looking for the wastegate but can't seem to spot it, could you point me in the rough direction?

    We both checked the cam lobe and it looked fine. One other error which is showing up is the timing. Wondering if the front belt timing is off, would this cause issues with fueling?

    Thanks Rob - Is vcds easy to get hold of? It's a squealing sound which gets me. Could a boost leak cause this sound?
