    Fitting 10mm Spacers to the rear of my B5

    The spacers were bought from ebay, but are high quality alloy spacers, £45 a pair! No idea of the manufacturer, but they are specific to Audi and VW fitment with the correct spigot for centring the wheel on the spacer when fitted. Right, did you have the chamfer on the actual spacers machined...

    Fitting 10mm Spacers to the rear of my B5

    I am having a few problems with fitting 10mm hub-centric spacers to the rerar of my A4. I bought a full set of spacers, and the fronts went on fine, but the rears don't want to go on. They are the correct PCD and the correct centre bore, but it seems that the spigot length on the rear hubs is...

    Help required - Coilovers

    Hi Siena, the image in my initial thread is of an actual A4 B5 kit as confirmed by the supplier. The individual shocks arrived in seperate boxes, and the 4 springs were just loose in the box. I am just wandering if there should be new strut tops supplied or not, and whether these springs will...

    Help required - Coilovers

    I have just taken delivery of a set of coilovers for my 1997 A4 1.9tdi. I expected them to be built-up complete units, but they have arrived in seperate boxes. I have never had coilovers before, so i am a little un-sure about how they actually fit to the car. The seller supplied the following...

    SOME LITTLE FECKERS JUST BROKE INTO MY CAR!

    This thread made me laugh, good on you for catching the scrote who did this though, should have taken a photo of him tied up and posted it on-line, public humiliation lol, harder punishment for him to take than anything handed out by the courts. These scum need to learn one way or another to lay...

    Youngest A4 B5 you've seen?

    There's a 51 plate B5 Avant up here local to me, they did make quite a lot of the B5 avants after introducing the B6 saloon. Never seen a B5 saloon younger than an X reg though.

    Help - car doesn't want to start!

    Quick update on this guys, took my steering wheel off tonight and had a poke around the ignition barrel. Looks like someone else beat me to it, as there are a few turns of insulating tape around the ignition barrel itself where the reader coil is located. I can't seem to get access to the loom...

    Help - car doesn't want to start!

    If you need to get a new ignition barrel, they say you can order it to be made for your key, and therefore not needing to replace your keys. It would need to be programmed to your keys transponder with vagcom. I have tried the trick of adjusting the steering column, and fingers crossed, it...

    Help - car doesn't want to start!

    Hi, still not got the problem sorted here either. I have resorted to carrying both keys around all the time now, and it happens on average 2 or 3 times a day! I have been in touch with the main stealers, and they say that it is the reader ring, which cannot be changed without replacing the...

    Help - car doesn't want to start!

    No, not tried vagcom. I stopped off at my local vag independent garage after work tonight, and he said that he could check on vagcom for me. He mentioned that it could be a faulty switch which is on the ignition barrel which reads the code from the transponder in the key?

    Help - car doesn't want to start!

    No, it can happen any time. At the moment i have to carry both keys with me all the time incase it happens. Can the keys temporarily loose their coding at all, or is it the switch that reads the code from the transponder that may be faulty?

    Help - car doesn't want to start!

    I have been having horrendous problems over the past couple of days, where my car has been refusing to start. Its a 1997 Audi A4 TDi by the way. I am 99% sure it is an immobiliser fault, as when it won't start with one key, it will start with the spare key. But i have also found out that it's...
