    Discount on a new A1

    Thanks for the comments. That is exactly what I did, I walked. I always let the salesman know upfront that I want to put a deposit down today, so they know I'm serious and cut some of the crap out. I managed 10% on my A4 when I bought that, obviously I don't expect that on an A1 but I never pay...

    Discount on a new A1

    Has anyone managed to get a discount on a new A1. I've managed £550, but most dealers say no there is no discounts available. I got really close to a deal, then the salesman went to see the sales manager and completely backtracked, and said actually no all I can do is throw in the £250 service...

    remote start

    I thought the point of the turbo timer was to allow the turbo to spin down without being starved of oil, as the oil pump is driven from a running engine. Probably not relevant to this thread just checking my understanding ;)

    A4 1.8T Multitronic 40k service

    £180 is double but it's cheaper than I paid (although they did replace the filter too by mistake which would have doubled the price although they had to do it for free :) ). if you maintain a dealer service history you are far more likely to get Audi goodwill after your warrantee has expired.

    upgrading a bluefin?

    I would imagine the only people that could help you would be Superchips (the creaters of the bluefin) they are based in Buckingham but may be able to help you remotely. Give them a call.

    2.0t Wont Start.

    No way! if they say it's an ECU and it costs 1K, you say ok and they replace it and it doesn't fix it, I won't pay and haven't. Try again to fix it and minus the cost of ECU and Labour from the bill. I absolutely refuse to pay for either incompetence or guess work on diagnosis, It's simple...

    2.0t Wont Start.

    The one that services your car :). I report the fault they quote on repair, I say yes or no. Ok my car is still under warrantee, but I would still push for the same service after. Dealers want the work, it doesn't meant they will get it, but if they diagnose the problem and quote a reasonable...

    2.0t Wont Start.

    first stop is read the fault codes with VAGCOM this should give you a start. Even a dealer should do this for you at no cost!?

    A4 1.8T Multitronic 40k service

    It absolutely should be done at 40K but not necessarily as part of the standard service. BTW it cost about £200 to get it changed :(

    LED replacement for DRL?

    Hi razza1, Did you get anywhere with this? I really want to replace my DRL's too they are dull and yellow :(. If you go the load resistor route I assume they have to be wired in serial?

    A4 Cab Window problems

    I know there were issues with the comfort control unit which is located under the drivers seat gets wet and fails causing similar symptoms although this was on the B6 not sure if it still occurs on the B7. I'd agree that broken wires in the loom between the door and the A pillar is a very good...

    convertible roof problem

    Hi davisl, the Roof ECU is located behind the rear interior side panel behind the driver. You will need to remove the rear seat bottom but not the back. If you google Mods4cars and look at the smart top module for the B7 A4 Cab it gives full installation instructions which involve locating the...

    Flickering Xenon query

    I Don't know if it will show up as an error, but stealers get paid for warrantee work so will probably replace the whole unit. Whether they do or they don't your fault will have been recorded within your warrantee so any further problems should be covered when the warrantee expires.

    Auto's: multitronic, tiptronic what's the difference?

    The difference is as follows. The multitronic is a CVR Continuous variable ratio. It’s a chain drive configuration that means you don’t feel a gear change, it adjusts the ratio dynamically. It is a very smooth drive if you switch to manual mode it has software configured gears (either 6 or 7) so...

    Heated mirrors - Do I or don't I have?

    oops :blush: The mirrors are not glued in just clipped in two places in the centre and on the side nearest the car. If you takeout the passenger side it's less likely to break as it doesn't have the score line down the middle. I just used the car key and gently prised from the bottom centre of...
