What have you done to your Audi A4 B7 today?

Some crucial repair work needed before doing anything else.

Still, they were a good price and for the most part in very good condition , no tears or burns etc so i was happy to do the repairs etc, and they were B7 seats , not B6 ones.
 
I'm still on the lookout for the parts to add the seat position memory function.
Not that many others get in my driving seat, but having spent some time getting the ultimate driving position only to lose it when moving seats back or something is somewhat annoying.
If I had the mem function I could store it and have less hassle getting back to that perfect position.
 
May need to find a rough set with the function and use just the parts I need.
 
New interior lights arrived today, they cleaned up very well

Gives a nice subtle glow on the aluminum trim even when it's still fairly light out. Happy with the result!

Unfortunately, after fitting the new rear light I found out it's broken :sadlike: Someone has taken it apart in the past and butchered it back together... Will track down another one.

Thanks Rob!

It's the bit of wear in front of the handbrake isn't it :p Really annoys me but not worth replacing the centre console over... yet :laugh:
 
Nope, but I had noticed that bit..lol
keep looking .

The chrome ring around the 12v socket is slightly tarnished and needs a polish...is it that? :laugh:

Ooh that sounds much neater! I didn't know you could get flip over assemblies... Presume you've done it on yours? Any pics to share :smiley:
 
I have the parts just haven't got around to it yet, but it's on my never-ending B7 bus to-do list in the next few weeks.

Part 38 , you need a couple of bits to complete the swapover but not a costly mod.

Well that looks far smarter, will definitely be getting one of those! Thanks for the heads up! Would you mind scrolling down on that page to item 38 or send me a link so I can grab part numbers please Rob :smug:
 
MInes is in a box somewhere in the garage so i can't easily check if it one or two parts you need so just check the parts schematic for your application.

Fitted a inlet with no flaps today. Now need to find a working ASV and fit that and hopefully itll stop going into limp mode on the motorway

Asv ‘s stay open when they are broken ,they get rid of “shudder” when shutting down the engine when working correctly,can’t see how a new one will get rid of limp mode

eBay specials arrived ,work fine but I’ll be soldering in new male spade connections as the connectors these arrived with aren’t great so I’ve had to use some electrical tape to ensure they stayed in place

Had an issue with my asv on my brd a4 ,I found an a3 bkd asv that worked for a fraction of the cost and the electrical connections were a sealed unit unlike the a4s which is what caused my issue

Have you tried unplugging the maf sensor and taking it for a spin ,at least it’ll rule that out

Shut when you took it off would suggest it works
