    Hi cpbrad, thanks for the reply, I phoned Audi today and they said it is every 40,000 miles it should be changed, apparently they had advised the owner to change the oil but it was never changed! I just wondered would this affect the gearbox much?

    Door lock problem

    Hi all, I am having the same problem with my a4 B8, did this solve the problem by replacing the hinge? and when you say hinge, do you mean the actual latch? Also I have noticed my fuel cap doesn't lock either. Cheers Chris
