    Avant boot load cover reel pops out

    Incase anyone else has this problem, I have solved it with a bit of black Sugru. One the drivers side I have built up the sides of the two little indents that the location pins from the cover lock into. The cover now stays in place and doesn't pop out. You now need to use the switch to retract...

    Missing Options sticker

    Yes, it's title "car data", and I'm planning on having the car until it's 10 or 11. I haven't got a "mat" as such. It's a solid floor, that's reversible. One side is carpeted and the other is rubberised – useful if carrying something wet/dirty.

    Missing Options sticker

    @rum4mo it's Dec'13 and was purchased from a user car dealer who specialises in ex-company cars. The original owner was LEX Autolease (owned by Lloyds TSB) – so I can sort of see how the handbook pack lost its way from the car in that situation. Usually the data sticker is stuck to an exposed...

    Avant boot load cover reel pops out

    Unscrewed the torx and pulled the trim inwards as much as it would without popping it out the other side - did this on both sides. It's better now, but after a few times of using the load cover it sort of loosens itself enough to pop back out. If I pull the load cover across to the right as...

    @Gooders @fsturrock Do you mean this one?

    Missing Options sticker

    @Stonefish by "owners manual" I mean the whole of the black fabric wallet that contains all the handbooks that came with the car, which includes the service history book.

    Avant boot load cover reel pops out

    @Gooders Thanks for the reply, I can't see any way to move the mounting points. It did just occur to me that I could use a bit of Sugru to build up the mounting points so that they become deeper and thus the pins are more likely to go in and stay in?

    Avant boot load cover reel pops out

    It's a B8.5. Looking at it I would say the retractable pins on the reel do not come out far enough – thus do not go into the matching recesses on the car enough to get a tight hold. I've pulled at them with a pair of pliers but they don't come out any further. With the little release switch...

    Missing Options sticker

    I can't for the life of me find the options sticker. Normally I'd expect to find it in the boot by the spare wheel - but there doesn't seem to be one. I have taken out the space saving spare wheel and the jack - so it may be under the battery or the B&O subwoofer (I assume that's what it is). I...

    Avant boot load cover reel pops out

    From what I can tell the load cover spool is only using gravity to stay sat in situ – it just lifts out – you do not even have to use the release clip. When the load cover is in use and then you run it up the side runners to move it out of the way, this then is enough to dislodge the mail reel...

    No Owners Handbook

    I've just purchased a 2013 (63 plate) A4 Avant Black Edition but it doesn't have any of the handbooks with it so I'm trying to find replacements. I got a service schedule direct from my local Audi as it was the same price as from eBay but they want £58 (ouch) for the wallet and handbooks...

    Which A4 Avant?

    @The_Golfather I have also come across your car in the classifieds, a very nice looking car - but a little too high mileage for me as I'm planning on keeping it for over 5 years so really want something under 50k.

    Which A4 Avant?

    @ john herman I'm afraid that side of things just goes over my head, and to be honest I would never really go down the route of aftermarket alterations, I'm more a as it comes out the box type person. Was the standards 2.0tdi 140 powerful enough for a car that size. On paper the 2.0tdi seems...

    Which A4 Avant?

    @ john herman Why would you map it to 180bhp? was the 140 not enough for the car or for your taste? @rowdyboy Others hav suggested the 3.0TDI but though it may be a little over kill powerwise, but you think it's not too bad. I'm not really after a load lugger. I'm quiet happy with the load...

    Which A4 Avant?

    I currently have an S reg A3 1.8T Sport 3dr which I have had for 7 years and it's creeping up to 125k on the clock. I have been thinking about getting a newer car, practicality and a kid point towards an estate. I'm quiet picky and really like Audi so a 55+ reg A4 avant would seem an obvious...
