Just to let you know that it turned out to be A crack on top of the ad blue pump ( circled). The part is … wait for it £390 plus vat!!! And currently out of stock and on back order. My superstar local mechanic sourced one online for less than £150, and 1 hour later and 20 litres of Ad Blue it...

Earlier today my engine mgmt light came on at 75000 miles, 2016 190bhp tdi sline, thinking it might be def and not driving far much, took it for 40 mile spin down motorway. Halfway back adblue fault light comes on…… get back lift the bonnet and find what must be adblue all round the engine bay…...

Thanks, let’s hope they can find it!

Wondered if anyone else has had this issue and what can be causing it? Car is 2016 A4 Avant, 64000 miles. When you start engine the AC , which I always leave set to ON and 21c, shows ON briefly then moves to OFF and you cannot select either ON or ECO. Changing the drive select makes no...

Mines got the same issue, started at 10000 miles, (39500 now) Audi looked at it and apparently it’s a known issues, tend to ignore it now, but pretty sure it hasn’t done it for a while,and thinks it’s had a software update since.

Mine does not have HHA, but the green P is shown when the stop start is active I have stopped, engine has cut out and I have applied the handbrake but the car is still in D.red I think is shown when the car is in park and hand brake applied.

Mines just had its 2nd at 37000 mile service, by Listers at Worcester. Oil, pollen, and gearbox oil came in at £258 for comparison.

Just thought I would add my thoughts to this for what they are worth. My A4 is a lease (lex) arrived with Bridgestones on, the fronts were changed at 19000, to Conti's, through Kwik Fit who they hold a national contract with. Asked for the same but was given the Conti's anyway possibly due to...

The reserve is quite big you will find, at 0 miles mine (54litre tank) only takes 50 to top up, so you depending how your driving it 20 miles comfortably.

Just shy of 18 months old and passed another 10k milestone. Few issues in that time but nothing that is the end of the world. Few scratches on the paintwork, and the obligatory scraped alloy are the biggest annoyance, as they all could have been avoided!! Otherwise absolutely luvvvvvley car...

Do you mind me asking how much the flights were and car hire? Married to a teacher which means I have to go school holidays I was amazed at the amount of Dutch, who speaking to a friend who know lives there, are quite happy to do 12 plus hour shift in a day!

Thanks DTS Really enjoyed the trip, but we all have decided we would fly next time. Mainly because of the loss of days in LG. We broke the trip at Strasbourg for 2 nights, it took us approx 7 1/2 hours from the tunnel including a few stops. Went through Belgium, and Luxembourg mainly as no...

For those who might be interested, I have just completed the family holiday, Worcester to Lake Garda (via Strasbourg and Ypres) covering 2180 miles through Belgium, Luxembourg (90p per litre diesel on the services!) through Switzerland and over the Alps at the Gotthard pass. 4 people, full boot...

Just worked out that this top job was an average of 52.7 mpg, BUT most of it 50 mph contraflow and all motorway this time. But normal it works out at 520 miles from full to 0 on dis, which for 50 litre tank (4 is the reserve) is 47mpg for a mix of mway, a and town driving, which is more than the...

Managed to clock this on a run back from a meeting this week, I know it's not real and loads of things will effect it, but just wondered if anyone has gone over 70 . If your interested the air con was ON, and it was motorway (busy but moving) all the way home. 2l 190 bhp tdi sline Avant 18" alloys
