[A4] a4 headlight washers

[Nicholas Stock]

Rocky, when I first got my B5 A4 1.8T chipped, it was a real
difference...but after a while the chip 'stopped' working for some
reason....turned out I had a bad vacuum line...and once that was fixed
then everything went back to 'fun'. The B7 Avant is about 400lb
heavier than it's B5 counterpart, but my stock B7 still feels as fun
to drive as the old B5..Going from 207 ft/lb to 273 ft/lb must have a
pretty significant impact at some point (APR stage 1 for the B7 -
apart from wearing out the clutch faster!). Perhaps you should go the
'whole hog' and get an exhaust and new intake too?

Hope you sort it out to your satisfaction,

Nick
