Today the name Audi reached an all time low for me when I was asked to change a front indicator bulb on a new A4, simple task I thought until I lifted the bonnet and realised that firstly the headlight needed to be removed along with the bonnet shut panel and air box just in order to gain access to the securing bolts, around twelve bolts later after the headlight was removed was when the trouble really started.
There is no access whatsoever to the indicator bulb or daytime running light bulbs through the rear of the headlight assembly. Thinking that I was missing something I consulted the cars handbook and discovered that in the section relating to bulb replacement it convieniently makes no mention whatsoever of only these two bulbs. I then phoned an Audi dealer and spoke to a technician who needed to consult the workshop manual which stated "You need to cut a hole in the back of the headlight to gain access then purchase a bulb kit which includes a bung to close the newly made hole",,,,,,,,,,,,
Audi, words fail me
