    Anybody after S-Line wheels

    See my ad in the classifieds (they are off a B7 but I'm sure they're the same as the late B6 S-Lines) http://audi-sport.net/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=6608

    B7 to B8 how do they compare?

    Thanks guys, I am more swayed to the Audi (I'd be buying 2nd hand - approx £19-20k budget) as although I could get a newer lower milage BMW the Audi has more kit, part leather, bluetooth, sd card slots, better stereo etc.. and I'm much more familiar with the VAG brand having owned 2 A4 s-lines...

    B7 to B8 how do they compare?

    Hi, I have a 2007 S-Line saloon 2.0TDI (140) and am thinking of changing car in the next few months. I'm torn between sticking with another A4 S-Line albeit a B8 but am also considering a 318d m sport bmw (which are a bit cheaper). My car has averaged 52mpg over the last 18 months (90%...

    Frozen wiper blades missing half the screen

    Thanks for replies, I do wait until it warmed up and defrosted and quite often it's fine initially but normally gets worse as the journey progresses. Guess we'll just have to wait for it to get warmer!

    Frozen wiper blades missing half the screen

    Having sorted out some decent screenwash that doesn't freeze with the recent cold snap I find that my wipers only clear part of the screen and leave a band across the middle right in my line of vision untouched. They were ok when I left for work this morning but by the time I got to work they...

    Rattle from inside bootlid when closing?

    When I close the boot there is a rattle - it sounds like something has fallen off somewhere inside. It's not a problem when driving as it doesn't rattle on the move, it just sounds rubbish when I shut the boot. I haven't tried to pull it apart yet to look as it's not a major issue, but just...

    Balancing or Alignment, or Both?

    I have also had this problem before and it does seem to be down to balancing the wheels - even the backs as it was the backs that were out on mine and this was with new tyres so the garage can't have balanced them particularly well when they put the tyres on. The car seems to be quite...

    What MPG should i be getting?

    Around £80 for 800 miles if run really low. Therefore say diesel is around £1.22 a litre then £80 buys around 65.5 litres (14.4 gallons) so 800/14.4 = 55 mpg which is pretty much spot on what the dis says. Like I mentioned it's done an overall 54 ave since I've owned it but I do mainly do...

    What MPG should i be getting?

    I've not worked it out but get 800 miles from a tank which I'm fairly happy with. I had a 1.8T before (190bhp) which was about 1/3 worse on fuel i.e. 30 mpg in that would be 45+ in the tdi and it doesn't feel that much slower in every day driving due to the extra torque.

    What MPG should i be getting?

    Sounds low to me. I also have a 140 tdi and do a motorway commute and generally average 50 to 60 mpg. I have not reset the overall reading on the computer since I've had the car (approx 1 year) and it's on 54. Are you positive it's a 140 as it sounds more like the figures from a 170? The give...

    Best ever mpg - 74!

    Got best ever mpg of 74 on the way to work the other day (27 mile commute). Motorway was a steady 50mph due to conjestion and I was just carried along in the flow. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Alternative link: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/1632/dsc00536cc.jpg

    remap choices

    I wouldn't just go on the figures - it's more about the power delivery. I have had 3 cars with maps that all behaved differently. I had a 1.8T golf that went from 150bhp to 200bhp and had massive torque but it drove like a fast diesel - massive surge of power then nothing after 4500rpm. That was...

    New car mats

    The genuine ones aren't as expensive as you might think - I paid around £40 for a set of 4 from Audi about 18 months ago and they are an exact match to the carpet.

    Audi servicing cost seems steep

    The quote was from Birmingham Audi. The standard pricing is on the Audi website http://www.audi.co.uk/owners-area/servicing-with-audi/affordable-servicing.html but this is for cars 3 years or older. As mine is not 3 years old yet and is still under warranty I don't fall into the 'affordable'...

    Audi servicing cost seems steep

    Went to a local garage (that I've used before and are very good) for a quote for the service - £126 + VAT using all genuine parts.

    Audi servicing cost seems steep

    My 07 reg 140TDI S-Line is due a 3 year 40,000 mile service soon so I called at my local Audi dealer at the weekend. They quoted £276.46 for the 40K service plus brake fluid @ £78.20, Pollen filter @ £27.05 and Fuel filter @ £54.92 that's a total of £436.64!!! Needless to say I'll be shopping...

    Automatic wipers - annoying!

    Does anyone else with auto wipers find they never seem to get it right? I was driving in some light rain the other day and even on the lowest setting they were going flat out on full speed. Then on other occasions they don't seem to wipe often enough! Wish I had the old intermittant that could...
