    252 Petrol or 272 Diesel Avant?

    Thanks. Seems to be some good deals at the moment, around 17% discount and 3.9% APR on PCP. The 3.9% and the dealer contribution (£3150) is on until 3rd July, so I'm conscious of ordering before then, unless it's likely to get better! ? Still trying to decide on colour and wheels. We like...

    252 Petrol or 272 Diesel Avant?

    So I drove both 6 Cylinder diesels yesterday. Drove the 218 first - it was very smooth, quiet and pretty powerful and the S-Tronic gearbox was fine. Then went out in a 272. I have had a drive of one before but the test route was severely restricted by bad traffic. This time I went out on a...

    252 Petrol or 272 Diesel Avant?

    Thanks for that, yes I'll try and test both. I'm just trying to arrange it right now actually, but it's not that easy! I either can't find a demo or I get hassled by Approved Used Salesmen!!!

    252 Petrol or 272 Diesel Avant?

    Excellent, thanks chaps I guess it's easy to get caught up in all the negativity about certain aspects, i.e. Gearbox, Lag issues etc, but you'd never buy any car if you read up on every prospective purchase, as there will always be something. Forums like this are ace, but I'm a sucker for...

    252 Petrol or 272 Diesel Avant?

    Still confused Simon! Don't think we're going to go for the S4, so now it's between the 218 and 272 diesels. This is due to the different gearboxes, but I still can't figure out which one is best after reading loads of stuff online. I don't want to go for the higher powered diesel at the...

    252 Petrol or 272 Diesel Avant?

    Don't tell me things like that! I'd pretty much decided on the 272 but the S4 keeps nagging at me! My main concern is nickability of an S4, is that something to worry about?

    252 Petrol or 272 Diesel Avant?

    Blimey. Glad I preferred the 272 now too. Although I'm now considering the S4, especially after watching some YouTube videos, it sounds awesome. But my practical head tells me to go with the diesel, we have a little "weekend" sports car for our speed fix! But the S4 is very tempting, so I've...

    252 Petrol or 272 Diesel Avant?

    Yep, pretty much decided on the 272 now. Opinions on these options would be interesting from you owners..... 1. Tour Driver Assistance Pack 2. Nappa Leather seats (I believe the side bolsters are also heated if leather is optioned?) 3. Parking Assistance Pack 4. Traffic Sign recognition 5...

    A4/S4 MY18 brochure?

    Thanks, just found that online. More useful than the brochure tbh.

    A4/S4 MY18 brochure?

    I've asked for brochures at 3 different dealers the last few days and been given the Edition 2.0 10/16 2017 Model Year one each time, so I just tried downloading from Audi's website, and even that is 2.1 03/17 2017 MY. Seems a bit poor from Audi considering there's a few changes. Black Editions...

    252 Petrol or 272 Diesel Avant?

    Well I had my test drives today..... Tested the 252 Petrol first. It is very quick and sounds really good for a 4 cylinder. Very smooth too. 272 Diesel - wow, what a beast! It is extremely quiet, smooth and fast. Together with much better economy than the petrol and the low down power/torque I...

    252 Petrol or 272 Diesel Avant?

    That's making me want the 272! That's making me want the 272! So the 272 should be pretty good compared to the 252 if the 218 was close?! lol, you're both dead right! I shouldn't have posted such a subjective question. Seriously though, I really appreciate all the feedback, its very...

    252 Petrol or 272 Diesel Avant?

    Thanks all. Just had a play on the configurator and it does seem that Adaptive Sports is the only option now, that's one less decision to make then! Absolutely! hmy7k - thanks for the long reply. Interesting regrading the sunroof, I'll have a look tomorrow. I've arranged a couple of test...

    252 Petrol or 272 Diesel Avant?

    Hi all, Moving from a BMW 5 Series Touring soon and the A4 Avant seems to tick all the right boxes. However, there's a few decisions we have to make, most important being petrol or diesel. I like the idea of the 272bhp diesel but I've looked at the costs over 4 years of ownership (on a PCP)...

    All windows keep lowering by themselves overnight!

    I sent an email to the Service Manager at Audi and to be fair to him he called me back straight away. Apparently the car was checked for faults and there was no fault showing in the convenience close module. The diagnostic memory had shown that the last 10 lock/unlocks had been activated by the...

    All windows keep lowering by themselves overnight!

    Good point, I'm not sure where the module is located tbh. I'll check the carpet again though.

    All windows keep lowering by themselves overnight!

    Cheers mate, I'm just going to give them a call now. Me and the Mrs were discussing it last night and both agreed that Audi are bang out of order to turn something off because it has a fault. I'm not quite sure why I accepted that yesterday, probably 'cos I was in a rush. For them to say it's...
