It really is surprising to many people how some seemingly minor-looking damage on these cars turn into a write-off. My A4 recently got hit in the rear quarter panel. There was incidental damage to...

Wow 200,000 miles...that's like 320,000 km. Pretty impressive. I'm at 275,000 km (~172,000 mi) with lots of highway driving and my B6 still feels tight and stuck to the road as ever.

Wow Brozee, what a great story! First of all, congrats on the D3 W12. The W12 is really in a league of its own and that's saying a lot considering the 4.2 is perfectly fine as it is. The car looks...

I've also heard from my shop that the rubber compound does have a shelf life. I'm not sure what the number of years is but 10 years does sound pretty aged, especially considering that most tires that...

If it's like Canada it would be a 3357/3457 12V bulb, however yes, the best approach really is to pull out the dead bulb and bring it in with you when you're looking for a replacement.
