    A4 2.0T Used Value---Warning!!!!

    I have been gently offering my car around - to Fontains and local stealer's buyer - neither even bothered to return the call. A4 Avant 2.0TDi Multitronic S-Line leather sat nav and lots more - 2006 36K miles. I too thought this was a desirable model.........looks like I won't be opting for a...

    shaking when idle

    Mine does this too - although it's not hugely noticeable - I think it's the idle speed - plan to get it reset at next service

    A4 Avant Quattro - real world mpg?

    This week I drove 250 miles on 2 consecutive days mainly on motorways. I was not hanging about. DIS 43.2mpg, my own calculation brim to brim was 41.9mpg. Not bad for a 2.0TDi Multitronic.

    Treo 700wx Contacts Compatibility with Audi A4 Bluetooth

    I have a Treo 750v which has been a nightmare with my 2006 A4. The bluetooth connection keeps dropping and reconnecting at various unpredictable intervals making it unusable. It will not download the phone book, but does show missed and recent calls. I have trawled the forums for a fix to my BT...

    me too as I'm thinking of having it done. Interesting to know what your "seat of the pants" feeling is on the improved performance.

    A3 Sportback -> A4 Avant?

    There have been lots of posts about this on the A3 forum: scenario - approaching a roundabout, slow down to about 10 mph, suddenly gap appears on roundabout and try to accelerate smoothly - gearbox seems to "think" for a couple of seconds, then finds the right gear and responds. Car ends up...

    Eeef - interested to hear what you think - I'm just pleased to be away from the "DSG lurch" - it was really hacking me off towards the end....

    A3 Sportback -> A4 Avant?

    I have just gone from A3 3dr S-Line to A4 Avant S-Line both with 2.0TDi. The A4 is definitely the more mature car - both in terms of the fact that it's a better sorted vehicle (build quality, those small touches) and it suits a 45 yr old!! The reason I changed - seats in the A3 gave me sciatica...

    Car for bowfer

    There's a red RS4 in the showroom at Northampton. Just had to sit in it as I waited for my A3 to be ready. Awesome. Dealer said they have sold 11 of their allocated 12 machines but none of the salesmen have been allowed to drive them! A snip at 52K.....

    Newbie with Service Plan question!

    Thanks for such a swift response! It's got Pirelli PZero Rossos so might not get huge mileage out of the tyres, especially after some Revo treatment! Yes mainly motorway/dual carriageway so I expect variable service intervals.

    Newbie with Service Plan question!

    Hello there - I've picked up my brand new A3 2.0TDi DSG today and so far am very impressed. It's both my first new car (an innate dislike of losing £££ from the showroom - but new was only 2K less than 1yr old) and my first diesel (need the economy). I've traded in my Lexus IS300 so I'll miss...
