Hi all, Finding a strange one with my headlights (B7 2006 Audi RS4) they have slight cloudiness and so want to restore them to look like new. RS4 headlight.jpg Tried both these highly rated products (see the reviews out of 5), and so many people are uploading great before and after comparisons to show these products work. But trying both, they haven't removed the cloudiness at all. No better, no worse. calibre.jpg mothers.jpg After the 2nd one if tried, the Mothers product, the headlight surface felt super smooth like butter, showing that the top surface has successfully been polished off ..read more

Audi Australia is planning a big electrification push, not with just EVs, but also a range of new plug-in hybrids – which will we get? Audi has a wave of new products coming, and the marque’s local arm is keen for new opportunities such as adding more plug-in hybrids as variants of existing or all-new models. Speaking with CarExpert at the Australian media launch of the Q5 55 TFSI e plug-in hybrid, Audi Australia’s national product manager Matthew Dale said the company is moving into an “extremely exciting” period. “The next 24 to 36 months for us, inclusive of [Q4 e-tron and Q6 e-tron] is goi ..read more

A 2011 A6 (C6/4F) allroad with 245 x 40 19" option may have made sense in the city, but in the country (regional/rural), they are at risk of what the local councils ignore in the way of what it risibly terms as "road maintenance". Having had more than the nr of flat tyres in the past 3 years than I had in the preceding 50, I feel it's time to change the wheel size to one of the standard size, which I believe was 17" x 8" so as to accommodate a higher profile tyre perhaps with an aspect ratio of 55 (previous lowest aspect ratio tyre had been 55 over the preceding 50 almost flat-free years).

Moved house the other month and went for 'morning tea' to our new neighbours across the road.. The guy is a builder, down to earth and very hard worker... builds houses, keeps them for a while, sells and repeats (i'm sure he does other work). got to see his twin turbo (heffner kit) Galardo.... very nice. 2010 model I think... very nice kit, looks well engineered (but he did have to get a new turbo for not driving it for a year or so)... Love to see and hear it on the road. Fully engineered, certificate and road legal.. and it's a manual ..read more

It's not as flashy as some other flagship luxury limousines, but the Audi A8 is opulent, elegant and classy in so many ways. The Audi A8 is the flagship sedan in the brand’s range, but this one is the entry-level take on the theme – the 2023 Audi A8 50 TDI. Yep, a diesel engine is still the entry-point to this luxury limousine range, while most other brands are moving to high-tech hybridised petrol powertrains, or full electrification, as the times dictate. That’ll probably happen for the next-gen A8, if there is one… but the current car has been updated, with this facelifted version util ..read more
