The wings are different between the B8 and the B8.5, ie pre and post facelift. However, I spent months researching and didn't find anything that indicated a difference between Sline and non S line. As per other posters, I'd recommend finding a crash damaged car and grab the wing from that (and...

Do memory mirrors needs to be assigned as right hand drive vehicle somewhere in car's system? The right side motor moves down when pushing interior adjustment knob right. On paper, this motor will work correctly in the left mirror, so considering swapping. This would be a solution of sorts...

Long story, short - can I use VCDS to identity a date when a repair was undertaken? The Q5 has had a new rear bumper (w/parking sensors) and tailgate fitted. I'm wondering if I can identify when that work was undertaken via a VCDS timestamp - for example, when replacement rear...

What is the best/safest way to remove front seats to avoid any seat airbag issues? I've seen suggestions of ignition on and removing negative cable from battery... I've also removed seats multiple times without touching the battery. Should I crack on without touching the bat?

That interesting, exactly what I'm after, it would appear. Any pics you can share? Now I just need to find a set of rear seats!

Appears to be the same set up as my saloon, both on seat backs and bench. BTW, are you referring to standard rears, i.e. no super sport seats? I guess I could search for B8.5 saloon and avant S4 super sport seat part numbers for comparison. Thanks for the reply!

I want to replace my leather rear bench and backrest in my B8.5 saloon with rear super sport seats from an RS4/S4. Has anyone done this or able to confirm if avant seats are a straight swap with the saloon?

Ah Rocket wires, good shout and thank you. I have Hertz components in the front and standard Audi Sound System speakers in the rear. For now, a cost effective upgrade is to replace with the B&O factory. I know there's a lot of talk that they aren't great and certainly not worth what Audi...

Can anyone confirm if the connectors (male/female) for the B&O speakers on the B8 A4/A5 are different to the non B&O speakers? I think they might be - if anyone can shed any light here (part number, link) that would be helpful! I've scoured eBay and found some info but not quite what i need...

Do you have pics? i wouldn't underestimate 10mm - you don't want to be knocking hardware such as brakes due to offset. Are they RS5 rotors buy any chance? An amazing looking wheel.

For sure, but this has, in the (almost) end been very satisfying. I've stripped four wing mirrors, down to de pinning and extending cables via heat shrinking - a great learning experience. Almost there!

Thanks for responding. Turns out it's far more simple - the motors themselves are sided, so i need the corresponding right side mirror...which i had ordered months ago, forgotten about and now need go through the house to locate it. This is what happens when you spread a retrofit over many...

I have swapped the basic electric mirror motor with three wires, to an A5 memory motor with the green connector and six wires. This is for the right mirror (drivers). The mirror adjusts and sets to memory position with the seats, so all good.... except the following problem: Moving the...

The seats do now function, but only after additional work was carried out. As for the mirrors, i'm cannibalising A5 coupe mirrors w/memory for the motor and loom to rewire my current mirrors.

Does anyone have a wiring schematic to share? I need to add additional pins/cables to my existing wing mirrors to add the memory function. B8.5 wing mirrors, folding, electric adjustment, heated, anti glare

There are a couple of video that show the plastic (glass?) cover being removed with the aid of heat gun, so will go down that route. @quattrogone the bird is brown bread, unfortunately. I'm fortunate it avoided any panels, the wind shield and yes the grille. Although the grille would have...

A bird decided to fly past me on the A1(M) at 70MPH and i've ended up with a smashed lens cover. Far from ideal but no panels were damaged and the windscreen is intact. It does mean that i need to find a replacement lens cover, but i can't seem to find an original on eBay or FB for my B8.5...

That's interesting. Wishbone rubbers - would that be the same as bushes? That's the area i'm looking at next, as you say, it's not possible to inspect without fully removing.

One thing that might be worth testing is to raise the car on the ramp, leave it there for some time to settle (30 mins+) and then take it for a drive. So no actual work done on the car at all, don't have anything touched, just see if taking the weight off the chassis makes a difference. If i...

My Audi specialist disconnected all the rear suspension and re torqued to factory specs. It's dialled out ~70% + of the issue. Yesterday I had my wheels rebalanced - another 10% better, but it's still there at 70mph+ in 6th. Moreso on load and inclines. So I'm thining it's suspension...
