It's a close one between A3 and Golf drivers I'd say!

Hi, Not sure about Nottingham, however, if poss. try the following VW, Audi, Skoda & SEAT Specialist in Leicester : Nass-Tech Autos Ltd. I spoke to them about problems with my multitronic box a couple of days ago (following a problem with gearbox lights flashing and a fault being diagnosed with...

It says something when B7 is regarded as better built than B8, I've had a B7 1.8T Cab for about 6-7 months and it is most unreliable piece of junk I've had the misfortune to own (and this is a car with full Audi service history), looks pretty as hell, however, if you so much as look at it, it...

Hi, To be honest I did pick up on your point, no doubt at some point will end up spending the money on one. Having owned the car for about 6 months and spent loads on fixing oil pump / pick arm / oil sensor / cambelt & water pump / oil service / transmission oil change / aircon regas as well as...

Apologies, from the reviews I've read on here, I was under the misapprehension that these were sophisticated tools which were capable of diagnosing faults that other basic diagnostics tools were not likely to pick up. I geniunely have no intention of wasting a fellow member's time. Would be...

Hi, Wondering if anyone has access to VCDS in Leics area - need help with deciphering / resetting fault code on my car - have posted the code issue before but without any success. The code appeared after all the (multitronic) gearbox digits in the dashboard started flashing. Car drives normally...

Must admit the only reason I took the car to Audi dealership was due a fear of multitronic gearbox going wrong if not dealt with properly & the fact that I have an AA warranty, so to avoid any issues (mind you with the warranty they don't stipulate that it should be serviced by main dealer).

Recently had some work done by a garage that deals with top quality cars, they charged £60 + VAT and I thought that was high until I took the car to Audi dealership in Leicester for transmission oil change last week - labour = £110 + VAT. What was even more shocking was that sister co. (Sytners)...

That would be great. Thanks. I thought I followed the instructions, maybe didn't clean the hood as much as you've described. Only hoovered & cleaned once using the autoglym shampoo that came as part of the kit. I've still got some autogylm left so I'll try what you've suggested, if we get a...

This explains why they feel quite well insulated - both sound and heat. I've noticed how well it retains heat. I take the point about not having a conv. if you live in a certain type of neighbourhood, but I do find I'm a bit more cautious about where I park the thing. with my previous car...

Thanks guys for the response, not sure whether I like either style. Still I'm surprised someone has not seen the business potential, seen number of other vehicles with aftermarket hardtops. I suppose the only advantage is maintenance and security - idiots slashing the hood. Interesting that...

This unrelenting wet weather we've been having got me thinking (admittedly doesn't happen very often). Is it possible to get a hardtop for and Audi A4 cab. (similar to the older BMW 3 series (E36 & E46) conv. or Z3 / Z4 and even Mazda MX5s - if I'm not mistaken)? Has anyone come across any...

Has this thread died a death or can I ask a question? Are there any useful guides / hints on how to fix rattles / squeeks from windows on A4 cabs? Thanks

Hi All, I'm new to this forum, so apologies for not observing or being familar with protocols. I was wondering if someone can help decipher a fault code I got on my car. I own a 2006 A4 1.8T with multitronic box. The other day the auto transmission lights started to flash. Bought a diagnostic...
