What have you done to your Audi A4 B7 today?

Argh didn't realise mate, sorry.

Cool, I'll get a set ordered.
 
Disabled the Brake Pad Warning light by sending the cable to ground at the harness inside the car. No more annoying warning light and beep now

Pads are checked on a regular basis so I don't need to worry about them

I had already done that at the office end but it wasn't keeping the light off so had to do it again, this time inside the car before it hits the instrument panel

That should have said at the brake sensor end, stupid auto correct and not checking

Today I have just finished washing and polishing the car, ****** tired now

Ordered a new rear wiper motor so that will be next Saturdays job unless I get chance to do it sooner
 
Today I fitted the rs4 rear sway bar and tomorrow I will be fitting h&r lowering springs and b5 spring perches. Replace all front suspension components,front wheel bearings. Painting calipers red as well.

Just put my new plate holders on and installed my new plates......which do look better than in the windows :tearsofjoy:

But I have to say they do look a lot better than my old holders and thanks to Mike @mjr901 for supplying the surrounds!
 
Everyone on here should have them :)

if your going to do it Dimi, make sure you have lots of gloves, carb cleaner and some stiff bottle brushes its real messy, it dose feel smoother unless its in my mind, just need the new anti shudder on now

I done mine as my car had a bad juddering every so often. WOW was it dirty in there I cant believe they still think egrs on diesel are a good thing! I used 2 tins of carb cleaner I also used a hot pressure washer to clean the manifold and I agree does seem to feel smoother still have to replace the actuator on the manifold as I think thats the cause of the judder.

Collected this today - needs a leather clean and the 'coin' needs a buff but is an excellent piece of kit.

I didn't expect it to feel as good as it does, the height of the alloy piece is perfect compared to the standard Sline.

Worth snapping up used imo.

What's it off? Top view pics please?
 
Fitted my pedals and my red gecko air freshner, thanks Mike @mjr901.

Pedals were a right PITA, ended up cutting the old rubbers ones off!!
 
Just fitted the Interior Ambient Light Kit. Thanks to @mjr901
No pics as its not dark enough to see anything yet

Also put some valve caps on to bling the wheels up, ignore the dirt and curb marks. They are being refurbed shortly as were like that when we got the car

Em WOW at the price of a replacement one of them! Ill have a look at this and see hopefully its not the problem as the actuator will be considerably cheaper. Thanks for the heads up

Glad all sweet. :)

A word of warning - take those caps off and dunk some Vaseline in the threads as they will weld themselves to the thread of the valve over time.
 
On the B7 its generally just the two extra red lights in the overhead light console...not a standard option so a lot of folks add it in. Needs a different cover plus the LED module (wiring sockets already present). Can get away without the different cover if you can drill nicely (the location markings are on the inside of the cover)...
