Removing B6/B7 Audi A4 Front Brakes

07 June 2018 I'm going to assume you are replacing the old brakes with new ones, so there's a couple of tips for that process included here but if you just want your brakes off completely and have brake line plugs or are…

A wet but still packed AITP6

13 August 2014 Incomplete, unfinished interior, old knackered wheels, car park war scars and rain so hard you couldn't see the road, but still made it to this years Audis in the Park. Despite planning months in advance, the A4 still wasn't ready…

Fine British tailoring

02 June 2014 The rare occasion that Andy and I got adjacent parking spaces made for a nice photo opportunity. His freshly washed and mine typically filthy! I think it's great that despite being the same car they look so different. Definitely tailored…

Audi A4 de-chrome (black optics)

20 April 2014 As far as I'm concerned chrome isn't cool. Batman is cooler than the Silver Surfer, Vader is cooler than C-3PO and this is largely down to their outfit choices; black is cooler than chrome. Audi recently figured this out and…

Carrying bikes around on the A4

17 April 2014 After weighing up the options I decided roof bars and cycle carriers were the way I wanted to go in terms of transporting bikes around on the A4. I think they look cooler than the rear mounted racks and probably…

RS4 pedal retrofit

11 March 2014 I picked up a set of RS4 pedals to go into the A4. Just the brake, accelerator and clutch (no footrest) and had a go at fitting them on Sunday afternoon. They are essentially a prettier set of covers that…

Audi A4 door strips removal & installation

10 March 2014 My passenger side door strips had picked up a nice collection of car park war scars in their 10 years of existence and needed some attention. The Audi workshop manual states these can't be removed without destroying them, so I…

A4 is back from the bodyshop

10 March 2014 Picked up the car from JD Autos on Thursday afternoon and Richard had done an awesome job. I've only just got around to fitting the tinted fog lights and putting the grilles back in the front bumper. All black everything…

Tinting the A4 fog lights

03 March 2014 The A4 was dropped off at the bodyshop this morning and I won't see it again for a week while the bumpers and lots of panels are given fresh coats of Audi Akoya Silver. Wanting to have everything ready for…

Tail light lens tinting

10 February 2014 Getting the little jobs tied up while I wait for the A4 to go into the bodyshop, this weekend was tinting the tail lights. I didn't want to completely black out each one, the indicator lines meet the line across…

A4/S4 Headlight tinting experiments

19 January 2014 My S4 headlight lenses could do with a bit of buffing as they're looking little cloudy, but for the time being I thought I'd try tinting them as I had some stuff laying around. So I had a can of…

Retrofit OEM B6 S4 Xenon headlights into A4

14 January 2014 Finally a nice easy little job! Turns out the OEM S4 Xenon headlights are a simpleĀ (almost) plug and play upgrade, even if coming from regular A4 halogens. The plugs/connectors are the same, no VCDS coding required, no wiring. Just four…
