    would you swap.........

    having read above ....mixed opinion here, personally i would keep your audi 100%. , ive had 3 beemers in past and "ultimate driving machine" i dont think they are, (i currently have a4tdi) and i think beemers are over rated, build quality on audis I think is superior to bmw, also (in my opinion)...

    how easy is..

    just the light out james, probably might get away with just taking bulbs out , and giving it the once over with the dryer, meaning i dont have to go to the trouble of taking it out, but if its only a few nuts /screws etc, easier to do on the bench, been meaning to look in the boot for ages..but...

    A4 Cut Out Won't Start.

    when you say it cut out, was there any hesitation, spluttering before hand?? any warning lights or noises when it happened?... need more info, plus it may sound blindingly obvious but you have plenty of fuel in? (sometimes the guage will tell you theres fuel but you never know!)

    A4 Brakes problem

    they did do a recall, but all they do is clean the rubber bungs free of debris, (they are supposed to replace the bungs with a new more efficient designed one, but they didnt with mine and sure enough they blocked back up again, so i removed mine to prevent it from happening again. audi would...

    A4 Brakes problem

    I disagree with the diagnosis here, if the seals in the brake servo were knackered, you would lose pressure in the servo, as the brake fluid would leak past the seals, personally what i would do first is change the brake fluid (an easy job and relatively inexpensive) brake fluid over time...

    WORD OF WARNING ANOTHER AUDI PIECE OF S>>T DESIGN

    thats a bit harsh! i can understand his frustration at the time of posting, (as we all would having to get down in the snow and clear that lot out) he was highlighting a possible problem to fellow owners and save us not only the expense to repairs but breakdown aswell, so i for 1 thank him for...

    FUEL CONSUMPTION FOR v6 2.4 petrol

    if its an auto expect around 23mpg round the doors, approx 29mpg combined maybe 40 on a run, of course this all depends on how heavy or light your right foot is! a manual slightly better but not much. you will also be paying £245 for 12 months road tax! or 134.75 for 6 months.

    Plenum Chamber Drain Grommets - Every A4 B6 owner is affected by this common fault

    I know by looking at these rubber bungs that all audi did when mine was recalled was just cleaned, and not replaced with a newer design, the paperwork from audi just said said RECALL B517 PLENUM CHAMBER so to be sure they dont block quickly again (tbh i wouldnt rest, especially during the...
