    Trickle charging a stop-start battery

    Thanks for the replies. Appreciated. I fully charged my wife's 2008 B7 manual Cabriolet that was showing two charge bars on the unit without any issues over a five hour period so it appears it is working. The STD and AGM modes were correctly displayed in both vehicles. I contacted Maypole about...

    Trickle charging a stop-start battery

    I've just bought a Maypole 7423A smart charger and looking for some further advice for using it on my 2018 2.0TFSI Avant. I connected it to the under bonnet terminals with the ignition off and the display was showing 12.3v with one solid charge bar pulsing on two. I left it for approx 30 mins...

    pics: 2.0TQ S-Line SE, coilovers, clear corners

    Ultramodz, I've got exactly the same and I would like to lower it a bit. How do you find the Konigsport coil overs? Do they give an even harder ride? Thanks, Steve

    Tyre wear

    I understood that there should not be more than 5 mm difference between the front and rear tyre depth for a quattro, but it would seem that it operates ok outside of that. After a lot of deliberation, I stuck with Dunlops again and replaced all four at 22,500.

    2.0TFSI clutch rough biting point during gear change

    I've done 23k from new in my A4 2.0T FSi Quattro and the clutch is and always been fine. Check with the local dealer?

    Headlamp misting up, likely causes?

    I've had this problem with both sides of my B7. Initially, Audi did it under warranty, but it entailed taking it in over a period of several weeks for them to take photographs. They eventually replaced the offside one. I occasionally get condensation in the nearside one, but they claim that...

    Anyone got pics of a new A4 S-Line??

    I've looked at one several times in my local dealer recently and also thought it looked dull. Definitely pleased to jump back into mine. However, I did see it in a new light in the car park and can see where they are coming from now. Never say never!

    Anyone got pics of a new A4 S-Line??

    I've just had a good look at 2.0 TDi S Line in a nearby car park. It's growing on me, I have to say. This was in metallic grey and seemed to suit it somehow. No side indicator lights on the front wings, just an S line badge.

    Many thanks for the comments. Looks like the Michelins have it.

    Michelin Pilot Sport 2 v Dunlop?

    Dunlps are almost done and I'm still edging towards the Michelins. Can any one give any reason why I shouldn't do it? Are they as good as the reviews say they are? Thanks.

    Really really want a chip

    This is just what I have been waiting for as I have looking at numerous web sites but still a bit wary of who to use. I e-mailed angeltuning and Nigel came straight back with a number of comprehensive replies outlining what can be done with the 2.0 TFSI. On a Saturday with the rugby going on...

    Michelin Pilot Sport 2 v Dunlop?

    Coming up to 20k on my Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres (235/40/18) and thinking of changing to the Michelins. I drove a similar spec. S line A4 with these on recently and was surprised how much more compliant they were compared to the Dunlops. It was a treat not to have to avoid drain covers, cats...

    ECU Software Upgrade?

    Scroll through this thread. http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=49254 I visited the dealer again last Friday but they won't do anything. It's a remap for me now.

    swapped my B6 for a B7

    This thread is now way off the orginal subject, so apologies for that. After many attempts to get through to Audi customer services, they tell me that I should have contacted the dealer. The dealer has told me that they cannot do anything, and I should contact customer services. So I'm stuck...
