Replaced my passenger side window regulator thanks to this article http://www.audiworld.com/tech/int.html;

Took a couple of hours seeing as this is my first Audi and i have never taken the door panels off or anything but i would recommend anyone to attempt this themselves instead of paying the dealership or someone else to repair it....as long as your somewhat technically inclined that is

Thursday I put a set of thirty day tags on it. Friday, Saturday and Sunday I drove it to work. Today I watch it climb aboard a rollback a and head off to New German Performance after mechanical failure left me begging a ride home Sunday night.

I repaired my rear passenger side pioneer speaker. It has a short in the wire, going from the metal prongs, into the cone. It works when i press it down with my finger, so i had to buy a metal clip to keep it pressed down, so it will work.


My windshield washer reservoir came in today, its leaking and i hope its not the pump itself and just the reservoir.

I'm going to attempt to do this myself as i have the write up and all i have to do is remove the driver side wheel and get behind the wheel well and there the reservoir is!

Didn't have to do anything for a solid 2 weeks , on the downside there's a new b5 in town that the guy want to put a body kit and spoiler on, he already plasti dipped front grill, wheels, and removed his rear license plate and dipped that square and put the license plate in his window (don't ask me why, idk) matte black. If I ever talk to him im going to try to get him to sell his Audi and buy a honda haha

I sent off my ABS module ($55) and my airbag module ($45) to be repaired. I also replaced the headlight washer pump. Now my headlights get clean! I also no longer have any trouble lights on my dash lighting up! I have not had that in a year or long

I am not sure if I can post links on this forum. It was a place called modulerepairpro. They have a store on eBay. That is where I found them.

My screen comes and goes. It never totally goes out, but lines disappear. My car has pretty low miles though at 83000! I had a slow oil leak onto the manifold at one time. I replaced the half moon and valve cover gaskets and fixed that myself. I also had a small leak of antifreeze on the back of the engine. I had a hose with a small hole in it. The coolant hose was a pain in the butt to get to so I took it in to an independent Audi/VW mechanic.

Good luck on fixing your leaks.
