    Un-Sticking Your TDi VNT Turbo Vanes.....

    Thanks for the info. Are you able to expand on that a bit? Wouldn't I just be able to drop the silicon pipe down the flexi pipe in the photo to feed straight into the turbo?

    Un-Sticking Your TDi VNT Turbo Vanes.....

    I've got a 1.9 TDI Leon which I want to do this to. Obviously the engine layout is different to the Audis - anyone got any idea if I remove the EGR valve, if the small pipe to the left of this picture is the one which I need to insert the silicon tube and oven cleaner into? Really fiddly access...

    Pesky Windscreen Wiper Connectors

    If I hadn't bought the 'best of both' blades yesterday, I think I'd be scouring evil bay for b7 arms. I'll see how the new blades go, and if their rubbish I'll be doing the b7 conversion!

    Pesky Windscreen Wiper Connectors

    Yeah, looks like I bought my aero blades for no reason :/ Since found an ebayer who sells the best of both - aero blades which have standard connectors. 20 notes, although I have spent about 15 on previous old school blades (with B5 type fitment) and late B6/7 aero blades. Guess I'll hang onto...

    Pesky Windscreen Wiper Connectors

    The original blade was metal framed. I was told on this thread that I have aero arms. So I've bought 22" aero blades to fit the arms. But it doesn't match up. Confused.

    Pesky Windscreen Wiper Connectors

    Right... This is getting to be a pain, now. The aero wiper slider connector is different to the plastic clips on the end of my wiper arms. Here's a couple of photos: Connector on the new aero wiper: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s1mhponcn598kgm/2014-09-13%2015.49.32.jpg?dl=0 Connector on the end...

    A4 B6 And B7 Floor Mats - Same Or Different?

    Thanks for the link! Good to know the B7 mats are the same. I wonder if B8 mats fit as well? As for the 'awesome' mats, they look great, but would be way better than the quality of my interior at the moment!

    A4 B6 And B7 Floor Mats - Same Or Different?

    I could do with a newer pair of front floor mats for my B6 Avant, but most of the sets of genuine mats of evilbay seem to be for the B7. Anyone know if the B6 and 7 mats are the same? Is the Avant any different to the saloon fitment? Thanks

    Glovebox Hinge Repair

    I did this on my B6 today. Thanks to the op for the thread! As VagCabby mentioned above, it's WELL worth drilling into each end of the glovebox to access the 'hidden' ends of the pins running through the hinges. I just used a nail and hammer to drive each pin out then. Nice and quick with no...

    Pesky Windscreen Wiper Connectors

    Cheers all. Does anyone know if 22" aero blades will fit a B6 Avant? Looks like the B7 would be 22", but I thought they had the same sized screen as the B6 (and my current B6 wipers are 21") Am wondering if these will fit (call 'V-notch fit'?): eBay - Item # 390623471564

    Pesky Windscreen Wiper Connectors

    I've bought a 2003 B6 Avant which needs new front wipers. Main problem is that the 'old type' connectors on the wipers I've just bought are nothing like the ones on the car already. The ones on the car look like this: I always thought this type of connector was the one for aero wipers...

    Reading fault codes on Audi B5 avant?

    Riiiight, update time. I eventually got a Vagcom cable, finally got the interface connected, and now the software crashes each time I try to scan. I'm running Vista, and a quick google suggests it's not the best combination.... In the meantime, I've noticed the luggage compartment roof light...

    Hi Rick, just spotted you on the vagcom map. I'm in St Austell and need my 1999 B5 A4 Avant...

    Hi Rick, just spotted you on the vagcom map. I'm in St Austell and need my 1999 B5 A4 Avant scanning to find out why the alarm is going off every time I lock the car! Any chance you could have a look? Thanks, Nick

    Reading fault codes on Audi B5 avant?

    I've just bought myself a facelift B5 Audi A4 tdi avant. I missed my old B6 as far as practicality went, and the B5 ticks lots of boxes, as well as not having too much $$ tied up in it. Anyway, cutting to the chase, it's a pretty good car, with the exception of the alarm! After lots of googling...

    B6 avant front wing same as saloon?

    I need to replace the front wing on my B6 avant (2003). I'm struggling to find a breaker with an avant in stock, but several saloons are available. DOes anyone know if they are the same part? Thanks

    B6 Avant electronic climate stopped directing air onto windscreen?

    Jumped in my car today, and the electronic climate no longer directs air onto the windscreen... The red light comes on the button, and it sounds like flaps or something are moving in response to the switch. However, with the blower on full chat, no air comes out of the dash top screen vents and...

    Cars that you've owned (becoming valuable)

    No, bought in 2008 and still got it. Better than ££ in the bank methinks, and great fun when the sun shines. It's not great fun often enough!
