Good afternoon all. My 2004 Audi A4 Avant is due for its MOT end of August. My mechanic can't find a right rear bulb holder. The existing one is on its last legs, rusted, with only the indicator bulb still working, brake light and rear light are not working, even with new bulbs. My mechanic has tried to find a new bulb holder, including at auto recycling places, but in vain. He says the car is too old. I love my car and find it ridiculous if I have to throw it away just because of a bulb holder. I would be grateful for any ideas!

Ahh, get back home in about 2 hours. Will have a look then. 👍🏻

Morning can I and if so how change from d2s to 3ds headlights audi a6 c6 4f allroad 2008 thanks

Hi Gareth I agree, it would be so much simpler to head off to a Main Dealer to sort it out. Two reasons I havent done so yet. Firstly, I thought someone here might have experienced the same sort of thing and had a quick fix. And secondly, it's a faff to organise an appointment with Audi and have to leave the car there for some hours. I'm not a fan of either of my 2 local dealers, one in Southampton which is about 12 miles away from where I live and the other at Poole, about 30 miles away. Not ever dealt with their Service Departments but if they are anything like ther Sales, I havent been too impressed over the last 20 years of owning Audis. Everything thing you fear about Car Sales.....and Car Salesmen....and they have the lot in spades ! Flash, too eager to make a deal and most with very little knowledge of the product they are trying to sell you ! So, for me, if I want to sort it I will need to go the the supplying Dealership, Audi at Bury St.Edmunds who are family owned and for me, very impressive. However its a bit of a slog from Hampshire at the moment,especially in this heat so I will leave it for now. Many thanks for the input. Frank

Hi folks, Need to pick yr brains on this one; I had my headlights upgraded to LEDs, but that meant removing the front bumper. That did something to the radar units &/or wiring. I’ve had to replace one radar unit, which now works but there is still an intermittent ent fault in that the adaptive cruise will just randomly switch & display the error message, ‘xxxx not available, no sensor vision’. Now, I’ve check to left hand unit & plug contacts, all good, the Right unit contacts should be as it’s been swapped, However, there’s zero slack in the cable run on the right, so I’m thinking that one of the wires or connections has been strained or partially broken. So, has anyone here had to delve into that wiring loom at all? I’m wondering if there’s another connector behind the bumper, or any advice on how to check the continuity on those cores? I haven’t dived in yet, we’re away for a week now then I need the car for the next week, so I’m hoping for some insight from you guys before I dive into it in August! Cheers folks!
