err, no

Drive as normal from day 1. The company I work for makes the rings (and pistons) for VAG group, and our recommendations are always to use variable load and revs to help bed the rings. The worst thing you can do is sit at constant revs for the first few hundred miles or just pootle around at low...

Oh, and one of the xenons packed in tonight on the way home!! grrr..

Me too. Just started this week on my 2010 SB. I've now got a rattle from the window as you describe, when it's fully up, and another different rattle in the door which stops if I lean on the door arm rest! My 6 year old S4 never rattled. The A3 just doesn't seem as well screwed together..

A colleague of mine received his new 2.0tdi BE last Thursday - was ordered end Feb via ING lease. Looks like the MY11 cars are finally starting to come through now, as I also saw another on the road last week..

Thanks very much, that's really useful info.

I've got a chance of buying my old company car back from the lease company and hoping to get a valuation from them tomorrow but wondered what I should be expecting to pay? They've told me it will be a substantial saving over market price, which I guess means Trade price? It's a 55 plate...

Ordered mine 15th Feb via ING lease - delivered (to me) 30th April from Audi Manchester. (2.0 TDI BE Sportback + sound pack, interior light pack, cruise, auto lights & wipers, parking sensors, heated seats, alcantara, through load & boot liner)

I wouldn't dismiss Brilliant Black. A few people have questioned me about the colour of mine thinking it was a special colour as it's so much deeper and glossier than many of the other Audi's around (and other cars for that matter). One guy was convinced it was because it's a black edition! I...

I've got the alcantara seats on my BE and I'm really pleased with the choice. They grip your backside better than any other material and don't get hot and sticky like leather when the sun's been shining in (which has been quite a lot recently, for a change!) As mentioned elsewhere the...

Thanks. She's a little camera shy though ;)

just checked again and it's still there on page 18...

I posted a pic of an Ice Silver BE (outside the local dealers) around a month ago on the long running BE thread...

Sun was shining today, so seemed like a good reason to give the new car it's first wax... :sm4:

Glad it's not just me then. The sound is very flat, almost 2 dimensional if that makes sense. The HK in my E46 fills the car (like surround sound) even at low volume levels, but the sound from the Bose just sounds like it's coming from the speakers, without filling the car. I also find...
