Gingerwayne 75 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hi there buddy Yeah mines the s-line and I must say I am enjoying so far I know I need to front tyres and front lower arms (so I have been informed) to stop a knock over holes and uneven surfaces Getting about 600-630 miles to a full tank so happy with that What about you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotti Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 thats a good average i filled up a full tank of vpower diesel last night as in first gear its a bit sluggish cost me 92 quid .... but def straight away much smoother in first gear. contemplating doing a double din conversion and fitting a sat nav unit so looking around for good offers. have you had any answers to your questions yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerwayne 75 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah I am thinking sat nav but don't know if it's straight forward plug n play or extra wiring so still look for info on that but no cash at the mo so in no rush to do it Also looking for a genuine centre armrest in dark grey non leather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingerwayne 75 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Just had a quick look there are a couple on there so il put a bid on now Thanks buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotti Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Be careful on what u end up buying specialy through eBay. After researching through differant forums found lot of after market stuff to be tacky and not quite what u want. If u dont mind paying a bit extra then search on google ther will be companys that will supply and fit genuine parts eBay is good but can be tricky finding the right parts. I was thinking of getting a double din sat nav unit from eBay but after research found it wasnt realy compatable with my car. Ive found forums and videos showing how u can fit differant parts. Before u buy any items do ur research Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotti Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Had a quick google search and found this link have a full read of the article to make sure its for the a4 b7 which im assuming u have http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/topic/60296-how-to-retrofit-a4-centre-armrest/ Have a read if u feel confidant in doing urself have a go. My mate fitted armrest in his a3 himself he said it was fidly and had to cut a hole into the area requires lot of patiance and time cus u dontbwanna cut too much and arm rest is loose as i hear a badly fitted armrest could potentioly be a mot fail Hope the link helps if its not for the b7 then im sure u can find more articles on net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
