I've been having this odd issue with my S4 air con. Basically, sometimes it puts the fans to max and blows hot air. When the air con does work it blows nice and cold so I don't think it needs regassing. I've tried turning it on and off again, I can hear a difference in engine note when turning...

My wife was driving our gray S4 Avant and you followed for a number of miles. She wanted to say thank you for your considerate driving and letting her out to overake. Nice car by the way, it's good to see some people actually keep their cars clean (unlike me!).

I am looking for an S4 Avant and can't seem to find any kind of buyers guide. I would be grateful if anyone could let me know the particular things I should be looking out for when buying (common problems / desirable features etc). Also, if anyone knows of a Avant for sale around the 10-13k...

Thinking about swapping the S3 for something a little more practical and am considering an A2. I know there are 1.6 petrol and 1.4 diesel 75 and 90 models but which is best? How well do the diesels respond to remapping? What are the gains on the 75 and 90? Basically any information would...

The front left main speaker has started distorting in my S3. I have not played anything at high volume, it just started happening. It happens all the time, not just when the music is loud. Seems it's mostly the mid-range that's distorted and it sounds alsmost like it's being played at a very low...

Whilst changing the battery in my car over the weekend I ran a VAG COM scan which threw up an intermittant fault with the boost controller. I don't remember the exact error message. I also noticed that there was a much louder sucking sound coming from the turbo. The car is remapped and was...

Just been quoted £240 by Docklands Audi to replace my battery. Anyone else think this is taking the P*ss?

Any excuse really...

Went for a long drive in the country yesterday and the car started making a really nasty sound. As I turned a very tight bend at full lock, it made a screeching/scraping metallic sound coming from the front drivers side. I thought it might be because I was on full lock, although when I...

Thought this was pretty smart. Make sure you have sound! http://www.weberprecision.com/enginevid1.wmv

OK, I'll admit that I was a little confused as to the exact definition of lag. If I floor it in 5th at 1500rpm nothing really happens until 2500 when it starts to boost and then at 3000 it really kicks in. Is this lag? I believe I am not the only one who was confused about this so I decided to...

Just curious but I have never seen my traction control light come on. I do drive like a granny most of the time but even on the occations that I have really been giving it some and even in the wet I have never seen it come on. Took a friend out after getting it remapped and he felt sure the...

My car has done just over 21k. It had a long life service at 10k and then was serviced again at 14k when I bought the car approved from a stealer. It it now coming up to the AVS service (indicator shows 2k to go). However, I am confused if this is the 2nd or 3rd AVS service. Even the stealer...

My car is on AVS but will it always be? I keep hearing about people on long life service etc and using different oils but is the just the choice of the owner or does it change after a certain milage?

OK, this may be a really silly question (please forgive my ignorance) but why are there no supercharged diesels? Why are they all turbo?

I've been looking for a long time for a review of a remapped S3. I know some people on here have posted some but I thought there might be some preofessional ones out there. Anyway, I found one on the EVO site for a Superchipped S3 HERE. Don't know if you have to log in or not. Just thought it...

Coming to the end of my warranty and considering extending it. Audi UK are now using Mondial for their warranty services and quoted me £874 for the year including breakdown cover. Is it really worth that much? I know I can get Parts and Labour cover from the AA for £54 a year.

Just got back from what was an exceedingly frustrating (and short) trip to the Isle of Mann. Needless to say the weather wasn't always on our side but for a few hours it was nice and we had a great time blasting around the TT course. Marc

The luggage nets on VAG parts are £30 + vat. Surely I could just buy a net from somewhere and attach it? Has anyone done this? How much did it cost?

I have noticed recently that, when driving with the windows down, I can hear a clicking/tapping sound from the rear of the car. At first I thought it was a stone caught in one of the tyres 'tapping' against the ground. I looked but there were no stones. Yesterday, while cleaning the car, I...
