As above, my fan is always on but my temperature is fine so I'm a little confused.. Any ideas?

Hi all, As above my bulb went off while driving and got the error up on the dash telling me so, I switched them off and then back on again, it slowly went yellow and went off. The same happens if I repeat this process. Is this a dodgey bulb or ballast? I have the v8 S5 so how hard/easy is it...

Anyone done it? How does it sound?

Hi all, not been on here for a while but I'm looking into getting an S5 around 2007 and I'm not sure what to look out for.. Common faults/quirk etc. The car I'm looking at in particular is a 57reg v8 S5 with 65k on the clock FSH. It looks to be in good condition and well look after by what...

Hi all as above, just replaced all pads front and rear but the pedal now slowly sinks to the floor when pressed while engine is running. When the engine is off it does not do this and I cannot see any fluid leaks on the floor or calliper anywhere. It's quite confusing :/. I took it out for a...

Hi all, Had this issue a while now and took it to the mechanics early January but they didn't fix it and just bodged loads of other stuff. (you have probably seen the other thread) It occurs mainly at higher speed speed and when there is a very slight turn to the right.. here is a video of...

AUTO P FECT based in Wath South Yorkshire is the abortion clinic in question. Had my service with them just before Christmas which was fine, I was happy with it and thought they'd be good to do some other work in the new year.. Skip forward to today (Saturday 11th Jan) and I am absolutely...

Hi, I'm planning on doing my timing belt in a few week and have bought all the parts, from eurocarpart so I trust they are decent as they're contitech etc.. I plan on following this guide: DIY: B7 A4 Timing Belt Change BUT I've recently heard a few stories of the tensioner bolt snapping and...

For quite sometime now, I've noticed my temp dial on my dashboard only ever reaches about 70.. I've not experienced any issues yet and it's been like this for quite sometime now... I'm doing the timing belt soon so will have the car it bits, so if there is a problem I can tie it in with all...

This weekend I managed to get round to converting to BI-xenon and thought I'd get some nice white LED, assuming they'd just work.. Obviously, they don't, the flicker and I get a bulb out warning because they done pull enough current. Is there a way in vagcom I can tell the car to lower its...

After months of collecting the bits, I finally got the lights in over the weekend... I used a D1S HID kit instead of genuine ballasts and have no issues with warning lights etc. I would like some advice on how I line then up though.. Are there any alignment screws anywhere apart from the 2...

I am going down the halogen to xenon route and have just routed the kufatec harness through the bulkhead ready for headlights this weekend.. I followed a guide that fed it in via the left hand side of a car into the drivers side which was left hand drive.. As mine is right hand drive its on...

I have the headlight units and harness ready to go just need bulbs and ballasts now.. But was thinking going for something like this: D1S HID Kit CANBUS PRO DIGITAL HID XENON CONVERSION SLIM KIT 35w GENUINE BALLAST REPLACEMENT | eBay I know it wont be as a high a quality but its only £70. I...

I have a 2006 2.0TDI cabriolet s-line manual and was wondering how it compares with the equivalent petrol model in terms of running costs/fuel costs etc. I do around 25k miles a year of mainly motorway miles which is the reason I went for diesel but I find myself tempted by the 2.0T.. Mine...

I've got a little project going on and I could really do with a D1S xenon bulb found in the Bi-Xenons to use for measurement purposes. Anyone got one lying around? Cheers, James

I'm currently doing some stuff with a spare set of Bi-Xenon headlights and I have removed the chrome 'fin' that runs around the front inner and lower edge of the unit and thought it be quite easy to run a strip of LED's around it and it look quite good however... I hate the look of the LED...

As above, where the hell do they sell them? I just need one so if anyone knew where I could get hold of one please let me know :) Cheers, James

Got a little bored on Saturday so I thought I'd wrap my grill in gloss black. Was a bit of a rush so i just did it at the top of the drive outside but it looks alright :) (Oh an can someone tell me how I can tighten the gap between the bonnet and grill?) P.S make sure you watch in atleast...

Do 'they' do them? And if so where can I get one? And are they actually any good? Cheers, James

Hi, how do I go about adjusting the steering rack? I can see in the haynes manual theres a bolt to adjust the preload but I have no idea how im supposed to get to it. Its the final thing I want to adjust before replacing as my steering feels a little ****. I've even go to the lengths of...
