I didn't have anything sophisticated (other than a small chisel) when I last had a disc screw stuck in my B8, so I hammered that into the screw in an anti clockwise direction, and it eventually came out The headlight sensor was also noticed broken, just hanging around, when I had my rear springs changed, but we decided to just cable tie it safe 😄

Thanks Gareth - I have done a couple of runs up to Manchester 400 round trip so looking like a battery issue

Well the rear headlight level sencer a pig it's bolted to the subframe witch is no big deal but the ⛽ tank in the way👀 so thought na I'll use the old frame and just use the new sencer but had to cut the old screws off as thay was just turning but all came good in the end 20240825_120348.heic

It will work if you want to keep the car original, fm transmitters are a bit naff.

Probably the compressor as mentioned in: https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/27161-rear-suspension/#comment-106137 https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/26506-front-suspension-strut/#comment-102910

leythdave you can tell if it's a Bose system by the 2x 6x9's in the near side boot panel

To change the lights over to the newer led ones is fairly straight forward from memory but the cost can soon add up as there are quite a few parts needed that you might not realise. The headlight buckets are different and need to be changed otherwise the headlights don’t fit, if your car is an s line then it will have adaptive headlights and with the led headlights there are two types bi xenon and tri xenon. If you fit bi xenon then you will get an error message on the dash display to say adaptive headlight fault and the a flashing bulb symbol that will stay on all the time. You can remove it by coding the adaptive lights out using vcds but you need a fairly recent version and somebody that knows what they are doing to find it. You will also need to get headlight adapter harnesses as the original plugs aren’t the same (can’t remember if the plugs are the same but the pins are different or if something needs to be done for the led indicators lower down). The rear led lights need an adapter wiring harness and coding in vcds. Sorry there’s probably a few bits that I’ve missed but I and some friends did it to our cars years ago and can’t really remember. It’s not something that’s really done that much now as the pre facelift cars have dropped in value and the newer lights etc are still up at silly prices 2nd hand so 2 grand isn’t an unrealistic figure to buy all the bits needed.
