I must be changing at least one of these bulbs every other month or so, there's allways another one burning...so before I can get to the store to buy them, I was hoping for a break with the beeper and came to this site only hoping to find some help...but all I got was 1 move's GREAT reply!!!!, very useful. I really grew wiser from your intelligent intervention. You know, there's nothing wrong with shutting up when you have nothing to say!
I don't wanna be a smart *** either, but maybe a visit to your high school schrink might help U deal with your feelings of anger and *********** with regards to caps lock....

You are the only one that seems to find it this way as many other members of this website appreciate the help. The posts that you posted previously were in Caps as well and this is why I said something about it, and deleted some of your other posts, as you would post the same topic in a few different sections.

Back on topic, Have you tried upgrading them to LED's? They seem to last a lot longer, I noticed if i left the light burnt out for a while and then changed it the opposing light would burn out immediately or soon there after.

I also found that the tail lights on a B6 seem to go the most often, which was practically once a month or so. I ended up replacing them at the same time each one would go out, and that seemed to fix it after 2-3 replacements.

I drive a B6 and my lights rarely burn out, in these 2 years that ive had it, ive had to replace only 1 fog light, 2 front turn signals, and one high beam, all around the same time and so far theyve been holding out for me.

Very informative...thanks!

Thanks One Move for the prompt reply!

I'll try your suggestion of upgrading my lights LED and changing them both a the same time since I also realized that whenever I changed one of them, the other seemed to burn after a few days to weeks...

Two questions: Do you recommend any maintenance book for a 2002 (B6) A4 ? Would you know of any used parts businesses for Audis in the Montreal area?

Thanks for the advice!

PS: I won't use Caps anymore, sorry if it annoyed anyone,.

I would recommend the Bentley Manual on a CD/DVD you can get them from Ross Tech or Bentley themselves I think they run for about $100? as for the used parts you are close to the boarder so I would look at scrap yards in your area, depending on the milage I would recomend on cahnging the fuel pump soon or atleast clean the fuel filter, as they are iffy on the 2002. The 2002 model had a lot of electrical problems as it was the new B6 Line and the bugs got fixed from there onward. Try and run some Seafoam through it you will notice a difference as well.

just FYI..the newer VAG-COM 10.6 required "rest of the world" instead of Canada to activated the fog light.

Hey Guys, I've got a 2001 audi s4.... Its the sedan, its black with the alacantara suede interior. Its also 6spd manual. This is my first post so forgive me If im doing this in the wrong place lol but im just trying to find someone to respond to me lol. I want to do some upgrades to my car... I'm thinking about installing a short shifter. I also want to do a Chip and Exhaust... but I was wondering how bad is the chip for my car? Its only got 110,000 Kms (not miles). Its still a baby.

Basically I'm wondering what chip to go for?
What exhaust to go for?
and how bad the chip is for my car?

Right now im looking at an apr chip, and a neuspeed exhaust... thats all RPI tuning in richmond has.

Thanks so much in advance guys

Sounded like you got a great car there..congrats!!!

Now comes to the mod for your car...Just remind you what I about to say are solely my personal opinion...

If you you want to mod a street car..I'll do the break first 2nd will the tires and for further improvement will be the suspensions...coil overs and such because the car with the good handling will more likely get you out of trouble when the situations gets hairy..
after that then we can thinking about what can you do under the hood...I will started with the cold air in take and exhaust, cooling after, short shifter, racing clutch then you can enjoy you car for a few week or a month then figure what you want to do when comes to engine improvements but for B5 you got what 260hp stock? now you have about 280hp and car will feel more responsive and handles better. just my 2cents
