Hi, used to be on here a year or so regularly until the recession forced the sale of my 1.8TQS. Am on the hunt for a new one but all the ones I've seen amongst other issues are suffering from rusty number plate plinths on the bootlid, both avants and saloons. My old one had no rust here and...

My 2000/w facelift 1.8TQS saloon (59k FSH) is now for sale. Please view all the details in the classified section and PM me with any questions rather than discuss here, cheers.

Am having my alloys refurbed next week. What should I use to protect the new finish? A special wheel wax? (which one) or my normal car wax? Also how often should I treat the wheels, every couple of months like the body work?

Am having the alloys of my b5 1.8TQS refurbed next week and need to get hold of some new centre caps to be sprayed to match. Does anyone know the part number? Or where I can get them aside from main dealer. I believe they are metal, the rings are embossed and the alloys are the standard...

Have just got an s4 grill but was wanting advice on how to fit it before I go and break something. Assume old one unclips somehow? But how does it clear the bonnet release handle? A step by step guide to switching grills would be perfect and pics would get you on my christmas card list...

I may have located a set of S4 alloys, will see them at weekend. But one thing I'm unsure about is whether they have the correct centre badge. The audi badge in the very centre is silver with a small black rim, while others I've seen on what I thought were official pics are dark grey with no...

Apologies if this is in the wrong section. Am after a set of S4 alloys for my 1.8TQS as I fancy a change from the boleros. Don't mind if they need a refurb as long as they aren't bent. Don't need tyres either. And it would be great if they are in Herts/Bucks M25 area, not asking for much am I...

Am looking in to getting a dual action rotary polisher, probably the meguiars one, to try and remove some fine scratches and swirling that have accumulated on my car over the years and are highlighted by the high gloss black paintwork. I've obviously got the odd stone chip on the bonnet where...

Hi guys, came back to my car in office car park this evening and the front passenger window was open. Just that one, no others. I know if you accidently press the two buttons on the remote together all the windows open, but I'm conscious of this after it happened to me ages ago as I put the...

Washed my car as normal and rinsed off with low pressure hose, chasing the suds off the car. I didnt take a long time to do this and immediately towelled the car down, but was left with spots all over the black paintwork where water drops had dried. These literally felt rough, like they were...

My car is featured in the A4 drivers profile in the latest issue of Audi Driver magazine! Have never got round to putting pics up on this forum so have a look at the mag if you want to see my black beauty! Thanks to Neil Birkitt and all those involved with getting my car in print!

Am about to replace the pirelli 6000s on my car, they are at present: 225/45/17-91Y. Am thinking about Bridgestone RE050 225/45/17-91W Everyone has opinions on brands so that is not my question. My question is does the lower speed rating (W) matter or do I need a Y rated tyre as it's...

I bought a lambswool mit as part of a wash kit from polished bliss but after only three uses it's ruined. After use I washed it gently on a 30degree wash with it placed in a 'net bag' to avoid any potential snags in on the inside of the drum. But it's now in pieces, looks like the rubber on...

Dull subject I know but odd mpg can be an indication of problems... Have only owned my 2000/W 1.8tQS for a couple of months and two tankfuls and just wanted to check my mpg is ok as it's lower than I expected and not far off what I got from my last BMW 328. From 2 tanks I got 315 and 275...

I have a 2000w 1.8QTS saloon with the half leather sports interior. It's the usual diagonal stripes with leather bolsters. Am looking into a leather restorer from a company called dynamix dyes (www.dynamixdyes.com) who were recomended through a Porsche forum. For Audi they picture...

Hi, I'm in two minds as to whether to refurb the ronal wheels on my a4 QTS or replace them with new alloys, while adding new tyres all round. I don't want to spend silly money, it's a daily driver and I don't want to change the suspension so was thinking of keeping to 17s. Does anyone have...

Hi, I posted this on the B5 forum but thought I'd add it here just incase a non B5 owner can help... On my 2000 b5 QTS I have the standard concert radio cassette head unit fitted (cd changer in boot). When I have the radio on, turning on the heated rear window causes lots of interference...

Hi, on my 2000 b5 QTS I have the standard concert radio cassette head unit fitted (cd changer in boot). When I have the radio on, turning on the heated rear window causes lots of interference. Anyone have any ideas how to sort this? I didnt notice it when I bought the car a month ago as it...

Hi all have been a member for about a month and made a few posts but never officially said hi. Early posts were regarding help in finding the car I was after but now I've finally found it I thought I'd say hello properly. This site was invaluable in helping me pick the right car so a big...

Hi, I'm new to the serious detailing world, I used to think I knew how to clean a car but forums like this have shown I know nothing! I need advice as to how to improve the finish on my a4 quattro sport (2000/w) in ebony black metalic. I've just bought the car and the previous owner was an...
