No probs at all 🙂

My 3.2 dsg is a little jerky at about 2krpm, like it's going to stall by over fuelling, the mk5 r32s also have this.

You need to get a loom converter, no cutting of wires at all. I have a non Bose concert and fitted a pioneer MVH-S240DAB. Only thing added was a powered dab antenna, the kit came with a patch lead to enable the use of the rear speakers and subwoofer.

Yes it's the multi plug on the glove box, I had this just the other day, I was messing about with my head unit, while I had the glove box removed the light on the dash and in the binnacle were illuminated, the glove box had the passenger activation key switch inside. Switch off when connecting it back up

Least yours is easy, my dsg has 2 drain plugs, strange I know.

When the child lock is disengaged, the door only opens from the outside

No they didn't. I would have taken that if I could. Tony

Great Tony -very pleased for you. Back to your SP30, didn’t they offer you the option of attending a speed awareness course for around £90, rather than 3 points? Regards, Gareth.

EBay, breaking Audi 80’s

Hi guys please forgive me if this has been asked many time I have tried looking if it has but still learning how to navigate the site. I am looking for a honey comb grille for my a4 b8 avant s line will this all I look at say not suitable for s line. Anyone purchased and fitted one? If so please guide me to where you obtained it many thanks in advance and apologies if asked before regards Tim

Strange request but I'm looking for the plastic casings from a pair of b3 80 headlights. Cheers

Yeah it’s all just nuts and bolts at the end of the day!! The actuator only seems to have a threaded nut to set it so I think if I could find the tolerance or measurement online it’s not too tricky. There were no issues with the oil feed and no leaks. Gaskets were all fine except for the one between the manifold and the EGR so I replaced that one. I’m using an Ancel VD700 to read codes etc but it’s not throwing out any codes. As a side note I’ve driven 300 miles today and it’s not happened so it’s one of those intermittent things. I’ll find it at some point I guess!!

First of all I must thank you all for the imput into my Insurance woes. I have now received my new renewal quote from Admiral. It has come in a few pence short of £2k. Which I am more than happy about. So I go on another year driving my fabulous E-Tron GT. Tony

Thank you I will take a little time to learn how to navigate the forum but hope to involve myself more in future

The first picture shows the drain plug, I left the hex to show where it's located in ref to the filler plug in the 2nd picture

Finally got around to draining the gear box oil today. I was expecting it to be low as could see that the last owner had a new driveshaft fitted, but wasn't expecting there to only be 1 litre in there. Car was level and I filled it up using a large syringe 1.5 litres. There must have been some of the old oil left in the gearbox as I read that these take 1.8 litres. Will check it in a few days to make sure its still topped up.

Thank for the video, however, I am disabled and can't remove this myself. I had it costed at well over £500. So the buttons on a 22 year old car at less than £10 v £500 is a no brainer for me. I have seen pictures of vehicles other than Audi's with this fix, but can't seen to find out if it's possible to fit the screws into the roof shell e.g. if it's a cardboard composite or is it fiberglass.

Many thanks, I’ll give it a go 👍

Hi I had the same problem no bass it improved with these settings. Treble Bass Subwoofer all 3 notches up from mid position. Focus All Surround level mid position 3D sound low good luck

Glad you're nearly sorted. Sorry the last bit isn't working.

Check the fuses!

Waxoil won't stop the corrosion. The alloy insert is there to strengthen the rubber suspension seat. It corrodes from the inside. Leave it and you risk the spring breaking. Easier to replace on a 2WD car. On quattro, you can remove lower shock mount. You need a piston jack to extend lower trailing arm down. Worst case scenario, loosen subframe bolt a few turns too. No need to undo the eccentric bolt either.

That's fair enough. This is a forum, so you're going to get different opinions and using roof lining buttons in my opinion is a bodge, but each to their own. Here's the process on a B6 saloon. Good news is rear window doesn't need to come out. Removing front seats would probably help. You also don't need that interior grab handle too, looks like B6 are screwed/bolted in.

I don't want the expense of removing the rear window to get to the roof lining. Nor did I want your opinion on what it might look like. I just needed to know if anyone had done this type of fix previously.

Hi all i have a 1999 80 soft top i drove it for the first time in darkness i put the lights on and the dash didn't light up also the flash is not working but main beam is any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank in advance Sean
