    Hi all Bit of an odd question I suppose. I have a subwoofer enclosure purpose built to fit in the back of a B5 avant whilst sitting below the retractable rear cover. Can anyone confirm if the B6 boot dimensions are at least the same or bigger than the B5? Specifically width, height and...

    When did sidelight bulbs change from bayonet style to 501's?

    Hi all, Could anyone confirm when the B5 A4 changes from bayonet style sidelights to 501's? Was it with the facelift headlights? Mine is pre-facelift and has bayonets. Wondering if it's possible to change to 501's without changing headlamps? Cheers

    ABS Computer Repair

    Hi all, So the ABS computer has been playing up for a year or so on my 1998 A4 1.8 SE (non turbo, fwd). Vagcom (or something similar at the time) said it was an intemittent memory error or something in the module. Now i've seen the PDF's about how to repair the connections inside the module...

    Quick Interior Question? (What fits in a 1998 Avant)

    Hi all, Just a quick one. Due to having a broken front and rear seat in my 1998 Avant, i'm potentially looking for a new interior. I am aware that the -1997 interiors are different, so they're out. But what about facelifts? Are they a straight swap? Many thanks p.s. if anyone has an interior...

    1998 A4 1.8 non-turbo (ADR) Exhaust rear hangar/bracket question

    Hi all, My '98 A4 Avant 1.8 non-turbo (ADR) has an aftermarket exhaust on it which needs to go. I have a feeling there's supposed to be a triangular bracket/hangar on the OEM rear box but I don't appear to have this. Could anyone confirm that there is such a bracket please? Also if anyone has...

    What's it worth?

    So i'm contemplating selling my A4.. feeling the need for something noisy and offensive, with a turbo and 6 cylinders :) So wondering what modified Audis are worth? Trying to gauge if it's all as much dead money like some other marques.... Paid £1300 for the car back in July and have probably...

    ABS ECU - Memory Error (again!)

    Hi all, I've had a search through and seen this pop up a couple of times. I'm getting a ABS DTC flagged for: "65535 - Internal Control Module Memory Error" It comes back after you clear the DTC so it wasn't a one-off. Is there a known fix for this? I have seen evidence of at least one guy...

    FYI re: 312mm brake conversions

    FYI.. Golf mk4 GTI calipers are not the same as TT ones, even though the brakeworld comparison matrix says they are.. As I found out last night in a hope of purchasing 'cheap' carriers.. http://www.brakeworld.co.uk/brakeworld/buyguide/html/214745.htm :blahblah1: :(

    98 A4 Avant Exhaust Options

    Hi all, The backbox on my 1.8 n/a avant is falling apart and needs replacing. The rear bumper is blatently designed for the twin-pipe turbo/v6 backbox so I wouldn't mind 'filling the void' somewhat. Does anyone know for sure if a 1.8T/v6 backbox (OE or aftermarket) would physically fit and...

    Superior front bulbs?

    Hi all..:scared2: Having recently aquired my first non-HID Audi I must say i'm a bit dissapointed with the front light output. Anyone have any suggestions or preference on front bulbs? I don't want anything that's going to a) cook the wiring or b) saturate the reflector and blind everyone...

    Can S3/TT calipers be used for 312mm A4 conversion?

    Does anyone know for sure if S3/TT front calipers can be used on an A4 as a direct replacement for a 312mm conversion? I know you use the carriers with the A4 calipers, but not sure if the A3 calipers will work too? I only ask because there's a guy selling TT refurbished calipers on ebay with...
