    Problems opening boot

    my cab boot opener solenoid/motor recently died in the "unlock/open" position which meant that the boot would no longer close, and it just bounced back open again. that was fun tearing my boot lid apart, in the dark, and in the rain. just what i needed. new motor was £32 from audi.

    2003 A4 Cab, windscreen blower air-flow problem

    you could run a diagnostic using vagcom, which would turn up an error code in the air con motors/flaps. i think the motors are around £70 ish i think, and will more than likely to be a bitch to replace as i think they are mostly located inside the central dash, behind where the stereo is.

    RNS-E or Aftermarket RNS-E which one is better?

    i went for one of these http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/kenwood-dnx5240bt.html looks totally OEM, the red colour illumination is a perfect match, the satnav is a pain to start with (coming from a mobile phone based tomtom6 system) but now i have it nailed, it is so much more flexible. the...

    HIDs - Tempted to try again

    my advice is to buy them anyway, wherever you manage to get the ballasts mounted you will not be disappointed with the results. i will try and get pics up over the weekend, not had the opportunity all week with work and nearly zero daylight hours lol
