    2008 S5 halogen to pre FL LED lights

    to close this out in case it may help someone else. If you are buying an aftermarket loom adapter ask the seller if the looms are handed. Mine were and the seller never notified, i was chasing my tail looking for a coding issue and it was the looms were on the incorrect sides. Swapped left to...

    2008 S5 halogen to pre FL LED lights

    Bit of a strange one and want to double check something. So, the scenario is... 2008 S5 originally fitted with the halogen lights, purchased a set of pre facelift LED's. Bought a cable conversion kit which came with the codings for module 46. Security login is 41067 if relevant? All fitted fine...

    B8 S5 rear ring location

    Not that many A5's around my way and i wouldn't dream of approaching someone else's car if i don't know them or be able to ask them. I'd be ****** off if i saw someone approach my car with a tape measure haha. Any way to close this thread off once i'd got the new rings from Audi and was able to...

    lol..... wasn’t tricky, just time consuming as a lot of the interior from the waistline up had to be removed... rear shelf, A,B and C pillar trims and all parts near them had to be removed to get to them..... Then extreme care on removing the seals so as not to damage them and them lots of...

    having renovated the drivers side headlight a while ago, the old school way of varying grades of wet and dry down to 3000 grit, and then polished to death. To be fair i lost the will to live having spent ages and ages rubbing the surface until it was improved i didn't have the enthusiasm to do...

    Where the sound deadening slots into the bonnet on the underside in the engine bay the edges have all got a crusty edge. If it's anything like the ur quattro's of old these suffer with the leading edges rusting out, so to future proof that ever happening i thought i'd tackle it and give it a...

    having given the adhesive a good 24 hours to cure, fitting the panel back in took a simple 5 minutes but a life time of keeping the OCD wobble at bay.... much better, then a simple wipe over with 303 to remove the finger prints and that's it ticked off the list.
