  1. Welcome to the forum Paul, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) The a4 allroad is a great car and you've gone for a good engine choice. Ideally the car your looking at should have full service history and by now the cambelt and water pump will due to be changed due to age if not mileage. It's worth checking to see if the car you're looking at has had the emissions recall. If it has and it's for sale shortly after this has been carried out then you have to question why. If it were me I'd avoid a VAG car that's for sale and has had the emissions recall carried out in the last 6 months just to be safe.heres a couple of threads which maybe useful: Also most allroads were automatics so make sure the gears change smoothly in auto and manual mode as faults can be expensive to fix. It's worth seeing when the gearbox oil was last changed. Obviously the allroad has Quattro and again it's worth making sure this is working as it should abd worth checking to see when the oil was last changed in this too. Quattro is a great system but can be sensitive to small changes that could cause damage. One example of this is mis-matched tyres on the same axle or uneven tyre wear. I've also found this YouTube video which maybe useful: Overall the allroad is a fantastic car and it'll be very useful for yku. Plus they have good resale values. Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve
  2. Not good! I'm going to a christening today where brioney and I are the god parents. However it doesn't look like it's going ahead as the minister can't get there and neither can the grandmother who has all the food for the party afterwards!
  3. Black wheels do go with a white car but if it were me I'd get it done professionally. Have you got any pics of the car and wheels in question? Cheers Steve
  4. Hi Mark, I would imagine no it can be retrofitting but I don't think it'll be cheap. I believe the phone box came with the tech pack. Here is a link to another thread on here that responded too. It may be useful. There's also this company I follow on Facebook which may be worth contacting. There work looks pretty good but can't say I've had any first hand experience of their work. https://www.facebook.com/Lightrofit/ Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve
  5. Welcome to the forum Steve, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) If you've tried various phones and it's not working then I'd think there's a fault with the car. Have you tried any other Android phone other than Samsung? I've found this YouTube video which may be useful. Sorry I can't help more. Cheers Steve
  6. Welcome to the forum Tom, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) It will make a difference to both bhp and torque, it may also improve your mpg. Your best bet is ask various tuners about the remap as they'll probably offer different levels of improvemebt to the bhp and torque. Cheers Steve
  7. We've had it too! Think it's worse this time!
  8. Welcome to the forum Craig, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I have to agree with cliff and say the poor dog is due to the induction kit in my opinion. Nice looking a3 by the way :) Cheers Steve
  9. They are a great car :) what spec is it?
  10. Welcome to the forum Ben, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Bet you can't wait to get your a7 :) they are a lovely car :) Cheers Steve
  11. Full marks Pete!! :) Here's a new one, and again our favorite spy returns :)
  12. Good plan!! Can't say I've ever seen the sills rust but it's worth you checking the lower doors both on the inside and the outside behind the lower door blades/mouldings.
  13. Good idea, better safe than sorry :) and cliff does raise a valid point. I wonder how that will affect the sensor though?
  14. All's well that ends well :) glad you got sorted Jake :) Cheers Steve
  15. Good guess Trevor but unfortunately incorrect.
  16. Definitely Trevor! I think my next road trip will be to Normandy to the museum's and key WW2 sites in France.
  17. You're welcome :) Nice one! The common rust spots on vag cars from this era was the front wings due to vag putting foam inserts between the wing and wheel arch liner. Obviously the foam absorbs the water and thus causes the rust.
  18. Ah, got ya! I thought you had a update copy and the original. It might be worth buying a genuine audi out of date one from 2005/2006 to see if the Sat nav works. I can't imagine the old discs are too expensive. Cheers Steve
  19. Correct Paul! :) Here's a new one and it's a film starring Will Smith.
  20. You're correct Trevor, the last one certainly wasn't taken in honfleur. It was taken near the Normandy beaches (gold) :)
  21. You're welcome, glad I could help :) Don't forget to get the speaker grills that have Bose written on them ;) Cheers Steve
