Hi folks..am interested in purchasing a used B5 or B6 frm down south, can anyone provide any info as to what modifications need to be done other then the daytime running lights and the m/hre=km/hr thing ?...rear bumper?, child thether strap? etc called a local Audi dealer here and all that they mentioned was the speedometer thing...p.s. also did a search on here but only newer A4's were listed with the info..thx

 

Check Registrar of Imported Vehicles RIV: How to import a U.S made vehicle into Canada and it will list things needed. I brought over a B6 A4 in July and only needed to switch the DRL on and that was it. It already had the child anchors and as long as the speedo has the km/h, you don't need to do anything to the cluster.

 

Hello All,

Wondering if anyone out there upgraded their mirror caps to the brushed look and if so and if you have a Black B7 A4 I would be interested in buying your stock ones off you.

Please contact me and let me know.

Thank you

 

This is just a gripe about the stealership at Richmond Automall....

So, I dropped off my car to them 7am in the morning for an oil change (20 min job) and a fuel filter change (45 min job?). I call them at 12pm to ask for an update - car's not done yet, but they promise to call me at 2pm. 4:30pm rolls around, and I'm done work, so I get a coworker to drop me off at the dealership, thinking such a simple job MUST be finished by then.

I go in and my car's not done yet, and wouldn't be finished until the next day. Apparently, my fuel lines were seized up and they couldn't get the fuel filter off (which is fine and understandable, it's an older car).

The part I'm cheezed about is - they didn't call me earlier to tell me that I couldn't have my car back the same day. They couldn't offer me a loaner car, and didn't offer me a ride home. I'm stuck at the dealership, no way to get home, no way to get to work the next day, and I find this out at the last minute as I walk into the dealership.

To add insult to injury - the service rep told me he can get me "a good rate" on a rental car.. about $60. Oh my gosh...

Anyway... yeah.. stay away from Audi service department in Richmond BC.

 

So after sending a nasty email and chewing out the service manager, he decided to pay off my service bill. It was a $230 bill, so I guess it was a pretty decent gesture.

They would've saved a lot more money by just paying for a rental car for me though, for $60... or even have nipped it in the butt from the get go and just called me in advance and paid out nothing.

But, mistakes happen, and how you handle the aftermath counts for something too. I'm glad they owned up to it in the end.

 

I've always liked Audi of Richmond when I was in Vancouver: Norman had been very helpful through my first 5 years of owning the Avant. I'm glad that everything worked out for you!

 

Price and location?

 

I have a 94 quattro ( 5 speed) for sale as a parts car

I've got a mint set of amg slk55 wheels with tires for sale. Rims have no curbage are are straight and two of the tires have good tread,the others will need replacing soon,bolt pattern is 5x112 and will fit Mercedes,Audi,Newer VW's(MK5,Passat).225/40 R 18 tires at the front and 245/35 R 18 tires at the rear. I picked these up with my car but i'm selling it and the person interested doesn't want them. A buddy told me that these retail for $700 a piece from Mercedes and they are 100% authentic. I'm asking $1900 for rims/tires package. Located in Calgary,Alberta. No shipping,pm me if your interested.

 

Recently I noticed my oil indicator light no longer lights when the key is in the on position. I wanted to check the connection to the oil pressure switch, but I’m not sure where it’s located.

Thanks in advance for your help
