    Rear center armrest - not closing flush

    As the title says, my Rear center armrest is not closing flush on one side (drivers side) Made sure the First Aid kit is in properly and is closed, but when the arm rest is closed it is sticking out from the seat by about half inch. Not sure if the kids fighting over it have bent one of the...

    Power steering moan? Help

    I am getting what I think is power steering groan when turning left at low speeds, not all the time but sounds like steering moan. First thought was check the fluid, now I am no mechanic but am not stupid by any means, I looked right side where the capped reservoir normally is on the b8 and nowt...

    B9 DIS - Cabin lacking....

    So my B8.5 is in for an S-Tronic service today and I have been given a brand new B9 S-line Saloon, its the 2.0Tdi 190 S-Tronic with a few options, ADS being one of them that firms up the drive very nice. One thing that has me scratching my head (played with all settings and cant get it to show)...

    Strange mark on alloy...

    Never seen this on alloys b4? When my Rotors are covered in brake dust the drivers front develops these odd perfectly round marks, as if the brake dust has been wiped or vibrated away? Like crop circles on metal :) Anyone ever seen this?

    Decided to debadge the rear, leaving just the Quattro badge. Think it looks much cleaner this way. Before After Before 3/4 After 3/4 :tonguewink:

    B9 Sline Video

    Not sure if anyone's seen this, but boy does the Sline interior of the B9 look different to the release pictures of the god awefull "posh BMW speedboat" look. Changed my mind for sure on the B9 :) Hope the link works.

    Steering correction/notchy

    I have noticed an issue since owning this b8.5 with the steering when wheel is straigh/centred, not sure how to word this, it's not tram lining (although the 19s like do this when in ruts) but feels more like the electronic steering is constantly adjusting itself slightly from left to right, as...

    Stronic in sport mode (S) non ADS car

    My 3.0TDi Quattro Avant has the Stronic box with no ADS and I have a question about what putting it in sport mode (S) does apart from change the 7 gears to 6 by increasing the RPM range and holding each gear longer. Does it change the throttle response or steering stiffness at all? I have RTM...

    Dash Vents

    Ello I picked up a 62 B8 this weekend which I thought had the illuminated vent controls (from the look of them they should be back lit) Cant find anything in the books, but I assume these are only illuminated with an option pack (I seem to remember a lighting pack providing vanity mirror...

    AC Aux fan

    I noticed a ticking noise like a wheel spinning and slowing down after engine turned off, looked at front of car and it seems it is the AC Aux fan (passenger side, or right side rad fan as you look at the front of the car) as this fan does not run when AC is off. When running it seems to work ok...

    Front off for Cam Belt and water pump

    Been told the front bumper, headlights, grill, basically the whole front needs to come off the B8 for the cambelt change, this right? Only recently fiddled with it all and got it all straight, so bit miffed?

    Shock Absorber replacement

    So some of you may remember my wheel vibration thread on here. I am still having the issue, although I have noticed that it is much worse the lighter the car is loaded. By this I mean, when the car has a full fuel tank the vibration is hardly there and hard to detect, as the car gets down to...

    Rear Disks and Pads

    I will need new rear disks and pads soon and a mechanic that does all my fathers work will do them for a damn site cheaper than Audi (with trade parts as well) so am getting the front pads done at the same time. I have heard a rumor that you need VCDS to retract the caliper piston, is this...
