    Am I crazy? C7 3.0tdi to C5 2.7 Bi-turbo

    Wheels were finished a while back and all is well other than a crank position sensor going out 100 yards from the house! In need of some where in Leics area that does fair priced exhaust work. Would like to remove the front collector box for an X pipe with a side exit for a solenoid butterfly...

    Wheel sizes

    The 112 x 5 pcd of wheels is the same but the offsets may be different. My 17’s are an ET46, I believe the ET on the A4 is less so they would fill out the arches some more

    The new HID projector with halo lights are in. The amount of light and the beam clarity/cutoff is immensely better

    Am I crazy? C7 3.0tdi to C5 2.7 Bi-turbo

    Nope, Can’t use the LHD one in a RHD car. Did inform the other seller that this doesn’t fit RHD but I guess they don’t give a monkeys.

    Headlight upgrade

    There was a factory Bi-Xenon system option offered, it was much better than the naffy candles, but nothing like modern Xenon (HID) lights. A pair of C5 halogen lights can cost as little as £50 from a breaker, maybe £80-90 for a good set. The bi-Xenon C5 sets are more like £150-200 from a...

    Fuel consumption

    If it makes your wallet feel any better, I averaged 12 last week for my 3 days in the 2.7TT [emoji54] Only 29miles all week though, all sat in traffic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel consumption

    That’s knocking on the door of what my C7 3.0tdi would get (50 on a run with smart motorway limit in places) so damn good for the 2 gens back 6 pot oil burner I would have thought more like 35-40 on a run and 25-30 in town. I heard lots of horror stories about poor mpg from the 2.5 derv, but...

    Am I crazy? C7 3.0tdi to C5 2.7 Bi-turbo

    The one I got was eBay item number 362220660889 It was £2.70 from Hong Kong, the description is ‘E’ and picture matches so i definitely ordered a LHD cover for my RHD car... but we’ll see if it fits first and looks ok upside down second. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Am I crazy? C7 3.0tdi to C5 2.7 Bi-turbo

    I did what I’m sure others have done, I contacted all the eBay sellers advertising 4B1941531F - (RHD) light switch cover and asked them if that’s what they actually had, as all of them had actual pictures of 4B1941531E the Left drive switch. Some accepted that they had the wrong pic and...

    Snow cleared up a bit so got rid of the orangey glow that is the standard w5w side light bulbs Now I need to figure out how to fix the door sensor as my light buzzer and interior lights don’t come on when I open the drivers door Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A6 Avant Relay Issue

    May be another relay, or could be the blower motor itself. Not as sure on that one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A6 Avant Relay Issue

    If indicators flash fast it used to be an sign that a bulb had gone, no flash just constant would suggest flasher relay. There’s loads of YouTube vids of how to get the hazard switch apart, it contains the hazard flash and indicator flash relay, it seems to be the contacts that fur up and can be...

    After market Head Unit

    Easiest fix (cheating maybe) is just to eBay an adaptor harness! Do you have Bose? The wiring is different and the speaker impedance is also different. Although, many people have run Bose 2 Ohm speakers from aftermarket 4 Ohm head units. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A6 C5 are headlight glass interchangeable between xenon and normal?

    Interesting idea, only almost advisory on my MOT was that the headlight lenses were a little milky/crazed, I was planning to use a polishing kit, but maybe new bodies would be just as cost effective. I’ll take a look at mine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Am I crazy? C7 3.0tdi to C5 2.7 Bi-turbo

    Tuesday. Already scanning eBay for age appropriate RNS-D nav unit and I would really like heated front seats, but apart from that I will likely just have a light tint on the windows and enjoy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
