    Headlight beam too high.

    Just an update to this... Despite no faults showing with VCDS my rear left level sensor had snapped, and was causing the issue. Sensors aren't cheap at around £100 each (theres 4 on cars with adaptive lights!)

    Headlight beam too high.

    I noticed when driving to work this morning my headlights were aimed too high (both sides) They are adaptive Bi-xenons. Pulled over and turned car off and on again, lights did the usual left to right dance and up and down movement, but seemed to point up too high? Sounds to me like a level...

    Help Please S4 B8 Front Caliper Emblem problem...

    One of my pins sheared like this. I soaked it in plus gas overnight and managed to manipulate it out. They are made of alloy, so they corrode like mad imside the cast steel caliper. A bad design really. Edit just to say they (the pins, are held in place by spring clips, that fit around the...

    Component protection

    Any decent independent should be able to remove component protection. My local indy is a fully licensed ODIS user, and can do jobs that require communicating with the Audi plants direct, just like the Audi main dealer does. http://www.prestigeautorepairs.co.uk/index.html

    S4 exhaust round up and reviews

    Sounds like you have had the wrong back boxes fitted to your system. Who supplied/fitted It? If there's 2 separate pipes exiting the back box each side it's the full 'drone' system. If it is a 'Y' pipe coming from the box, then this is the correct 'no drone' back boxes. Mine had the wrong one...

    Post pics of your B8 A4/S4...

    Recently fitted a Genuine black Edition S4 grille and fog surrounds, also had the roof bars wrapped in gloss black, and the window surrounds. I didn't want the front splitter and rear valance to feel left out, so had those wrapped too! And finally I had the silver instrument surround done in...

    Audi A4 B8 S line Bumper Removal / RS4 Grille Fitment Step-by-Step Guide

    The outside air temp sensor was attached via a removable clip to the inside of the grille on my (2009) car, so maybe they changed the design for the later cars?

    Audi A4 B8 S line Bumper Removal / RS4 Grille Fitment Step-by-Step Guide

    So I removed my front bumper to change the grille, and for those with the active cruise control radar module, this is attached to the front structure of the car and therefore doesn't interfere with the bumper in any way! The same can be said for the headlight washer system - Its all contained in...

    Audi A4 B8 S line Bumper Removal / RS4 Grille Fitment Step-by-Step Guide

    Yes, I am aware it's in the fog grille, but the full bumper has to be removed to change the radiator grille, so I was asking in relation to this.

    Audi A4 B8 S line Bumper Removal / RS4 Grille Fitment Step-by-Step Guide

    I notice you have adaptive cruise control, what extra steps did you have to take? Is it just a case of unplugging the radar unit?

    How long to 'Officially' leave a windscreen before power washing?

    Never heard anything like that before? I work in a car plant and the freshly glazed cars are sometimes road tested, and water tested straight after ( parked under a high pressure drench shower to mimic a monsoon) the jets are right around the car including underneath. They also go through an...

    OBD Port Security

    Speaking from experience I would leave the car keys in a easy to find place. When 3 men break into your house and come looking for the keys, you want them to stay downstairs away from your family! Cars are replaceable, but family aren't!
