Re: Running rich

No misfires, no rough running, no weird noises, in every way except that little light, it seems to be running absolutely perfectly.

Running rich

I say it's running rich, there is no sign whatsoever that anything is wrong - except the error codes. It has P0175 and P0172, so that's both banks running rich. No symptoms at all, it's running lovely. Garage has replaced the MAF as the most likely cause, and it stayed away for a while, but is back ...

Re: Removing factory fit phone cradle (in front of glovebox)

Sorry, only just spotted this again. I got everything hidden within the console. I have to admit though, haven't got around to having the hole patched yet.

We got a Brodit satnav mount fitted, and it covers the worst of the holes. Really must get around to patching the other though...

Re: Removing factory fit phone cradle (in front of glovebox)

Just to report back (because it's horrible when you do an internet search, find your exact question, but there's no final answer!): Just to report back, on the vague chance that this comes up for anyone else: I started on a plan to pull the pins from the connector block, and isolate the individual c...

Re: Removing factory fit phone cradle (in front of glovebox)

Thanks. The wife is out in the car currently, but when she gets back, I'll see whether I can get the head unit out. That black connector block just wouldn't fit past the support behind the edge of the console for me unfortunately. It's possible, I suppose, that the thing blocking it is part of the c...

Re: Removing factory fit phone cradle (in front of glovebox)

OK, I've been thinking a bit more about this myself. I wondered if I could find the other end of those wires and disconnect them there. I assume they will be wherever the actual bluetooth module is (sure I remember reading it's under the drivers footwell, but can't find that info now). That led to a...

Removing factory fit phone cradle (in front of glovebox)

My S4 had the standard fit phone cradle that's on the side of the centre console. We've never used it, and have an aftermarket radio now with bluetooth, so we never will. I've been meaning to go around to getting rid of the cradle for ages, and have finally got around to it. Cradle came off easy eno...

Re: B6 S4 rattle from bay

The rattle, and the area, sound familiar to me - although the revs are different. Still, it might be this. My wife's car had a rattle from exactly that area at about 2500 rpm. It turned out to be a bolt holding the alternator in place had worked loose (and in fact, by the time this was diagnosed, it...
