I had a rattle (sort of 'zzzzing' noise) that took me weeks to find - eventually located it to the push button on the end of the cruise control stalk. Cured it by running a really small bead of black silicone sealant around it. Still works fine.

The genuine Audi bolt caps from the dealer are literally pence each.

Mine's S tronic too and our B7 S4 Cab is Auto (Torque Converter) but I think a number of people are concerned by the horror stories of the S tronic and Multitronic 'boxes going wrong (perhaps mostly historical now) and the cost of repair.

I bought a Black Edition Avant Quattro (2.0 TFSI) and would suggest the first thing to decide is whether you really want S tronic or Multitronic or not. If you don't really want either then go Manual. If you do want Auto then make sure the transmission (and the rest of the car) has the correct...

Will either of these be suitable? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SanDisk-Extreme-III-4GB-30MB-s-SD-Card/183829466124?hash=item2acd170c0c:g:IaAAAOSw3Q1c7qbi https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SanDisk-Ultra-II-4GB-15MB-s-SD-Card/223535357751?hash=item340bbedf37:g:R6AAAOSw~mZc7~X1

Thought I'd post this for anybody else who is being driven nuts by a dashboard noise from an unusual source. Best described as a sort of cheap plastic 'zzzzing' noise, it started about a month ago and I was convinced it was coming from the plastic instrument panel but couldn't stop it by...

You're right about TPS - fortunately I have an account with them but I believe even the Audi Main Dealer price is less than that eBay price. My MMI indicator is saying 'Oil level OK' with the bar graphic showing max. whilst the dipstick is showing marginally over the max. line.

I also have a B8.5 2.0 TFSI and have found exactly as you have said. Only difference is I got mine from TPS for £20.86 inc VAT - so a saving over the eBay price. Many thanks for the information.

The part number you've given there (06J115610L) appears to be for the dipstick tube. The dipsick is 06J115611L.

Do a quote on-line on the Aviva website. They're not on comparison sites but were the cheapest I could find a couple of weeks ago - £217 on a 2012 2.0 TFSI Black Edition Quattro Avant (very similar circumstances as OP except 57years old). Looks like a very good policy and you can pay monthly for...

Hi SCF91, Did you find the answer to your question? I have just bought a late 2012 A4 Avant with the AMI port in the glovebox so also searching for the same info.

Did you ever find the source of your leak and cure it?

Could you let us know what the problem was and what was done was done to fix it please?
