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...
or if you've had the conversion done and everything works but you don't have VDCS but are local to Norwich and want a free scan or features turned on then i'm sure there's a mutually agreeable solution...?
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...
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...
Looking through the workshop manual it doesn’t give the dimensions to place the rear rings correctly….
Could anyone offer the dimension as shown on “a” please?
Thanks in advance

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...

spurned on by the success of the redying of the seats on the S5 and Dad's TT i wanted a black dye to do the steering wheels and gearknobs on the S5 and TT and also to do the black leather on my other half's A3...
a kit was duly ordered and despite Royal Mail losing the first delivery, fair play...
What seems like years ago I removed and painted the trim around the window. The lower trims on the rear side windows had got a couple of marks on them.....
Removed, sanded down, etch primered and a couple of coats of satin black.....
The last time I did them I hung them off the washing...
Thank you.... I wax them first then a coat of this
never had any issues with yellowing, but then each time the bodywork is waxed I redo the headlights also.
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...
