Has anyone fitted anything like these to an Audi convertible?

(The one-touch and remote roof modules.)
And if you were going to, would you be happy using terminal blocks? (I haven't soldered anything since I was 12, and I was crap at it then.)

Odd, as my little 1.4 TFSI engine doesn't drink a drop.
New headlights arrived today from the breakers yard, were a nice bargain. Just need to give them a clean.
New Ones (OEM)
Going to replace these
Luckily the person that fitted the aftermarket ones didn't butcher the old connection so should be a plug in and play

I put one in my old S4, worked fine but I soldered the joints, at the very least use a chocolate block and not those god awful scothblock things.

Sounds quite steep for an 8 year old A3 with an engine very few people will want.
Looking an autotrader that looks about right however.

Might be complete BS but from what I have read they are thief magnets. Bet they sound awesome though
They may have been at one time but not now - if you are going to go to the trouble of smashing your way into a house to get the keys for an Audi you are not going to do it for an 8 year old one when you could have a 1 year old one from the house over the road.

Best stuff I've found are wago connectors. Great for automotive stuff. Don't solder stuff as if it's allowed to vibrate the solder acts as a pivot point and it will eventually break the joint.
Wago lever connector. Joins upto 5 cables of upto 4mm and 32amp.
I've used them on my defender and that's a properly harsh environment.
Sorry confused, your replacing LED lights with non LED?!

If its a 2006 bear in mind it will fall in to the higher tax band. Does seem a little pricey but if it has all the options and a good service history it could be worth it. Make sure the haldex 4wd has been serviced etc.

I was intending to use the chocolate block type - definitely not the Scotch ones.
Never heard of Wago before, I'll have a look at them and see whether they seem better.
Yup, currently have aftermarket bi-xenon lights fitted and I want to go back to OEM lights as I prefer the look and don't want washers fitted etc
It doesn't have Haldex.
So, First world problems!
Just received an email from the dealership and my build week is 38!
That puts delivery at the end of September!
No idea why it is going to take that long and I don't think the dealership knows, they estimated it before at 3-4 months which is normal for an R8 apparently.
They had multiple allocations available for manual R8s and it was the S-Tronic that you couldn't get hold of.
I guess the global demand is high on the S-Tronics with everyone upgrading to that from the R-Tronic and that is causing the longer wait.

Looking at A4 B7's, has anyone got anything bad to say about the Tip Auto 6 speeds?
I'am Undecided whether to go for a 2.0t or the 3.2, I have driven a TT before with the 3.2 lump and its a very addictive/pleasurable noise.
