Ha! It's a special food industry spray grease I just happen to have in my work van. Used on conveyors and food prep lines. Very much like the white stuff you find when delving in the workings of an Audi.
What did we do before the web? Also sorted my heater flaps today. Not really sure what's wrong with them but glovebox off and a play around and they are working again. Audi sits on the drive most of the time I spend most of my life in a work van. Wouldn't be without the old girl thou!
Pleased that's over.
Not one of the easiest things i've taken on and hopefully won't be doing it again for a while. The info I found on the net was invaluable I opted for the cable repair and while fitting it regretted it but once completed I was happy with a cheaper repair.
I watched some...
Don't temp fate on me!
I've been opening the key fob wrong for years until I see that you flick the key out and prise the joint with a small flat head screwdriver where the key stows away.
Try a search on the web for, vag com hidden menu. Can't remember what come up but the was another...
A little while ago the hood wouldn't fold down after a bit of google I found it to be the pump motor. Followed a thread on gaining access and cleaning the brushes and bits. Works fine now but left a flashing symbol on the dash ! Then the battery died, new battery,then key fobs didn't work ...
Remove the the bolt that holds it in place then spray some wd40 around the lock, inside and out. looking at the boot turn the lock clockwise, it will be very stiff. This releases it from a lobe, then pull it out.
Sorry Vrsgordy. That's a lovely colour. I once bought a audi a3 Tsport at night (not the best thing to do) thought it was black. When I picked it a couple of days later tuned out it was Ming blue. Loved it more than black.
My slitter was £40 with £5 delivery of ebay. Cutting the ends at the wheel arch was easy, I had it fitted first so I knew where to cut. It should but-up to the trim at the bottom of the arch. Mud flap thingy, but one of mine is missing and the other one as worn partly away. I can't seem to find...
Just remembered it was halfords gloss black I used on the chrome surround and the complete lower grill. I like to spray several base coats and a couple of lacquer coats. The last one being heavy, enough but not too much to have runs. It's a fine line, but I am getting real good with it.
Taking the grill out was easy enough but parting the chrome surround was a bit fiddly. Very easy to brake the tabs that hold it to the grill. I broke one. Only painted the chrome bit, wish I'd done the grill now!
The cupra slitter needed cutting both ends, tad too long for where I wanted it to...
That's interesting. What do the s4 fog grills look like? Don't you think the Cab **** end looks the biz, but front never seems to please! I bought a b7 thinking that was better but ended up selling because I really didn't love it. Went back to a b6. Still trying to find what I like!
No it's still good apart from stone chips. They seem to undermine the lacquer. I did pick at one and made it worse, leave things alone now. Love the red when the sun shine's.
Just found a picture of my previous audi with the genuine wheels.
These are what I'm on now but I think they would benefit with different size tyre. 18's but don't look it.
This is a Rep. I've had genuine before and the only difference I could see in this rep, is just above the valve in the pic, it's more rounded to the genuine ones. Which have more of an edge. This wheel is hanging around in my garage surplus to requirements. Not got round to putting on ebay yet.
Well that's one way of sorting it. My car seems to be running ok at the moment, hope it stays that way. Did you get a reasonable price for yours on the trade in?
My heart goes out to you bud. I also have a multitronic, with issues. I've had the same thing happen to me, but lower speed and other things like Judder on take off, flashing gear indicator or block colour.
I'm now on second cvt oil change in a month and driving great but I'm waiting for it to...
