    Manual gearbox

    it's booked in next weds. Seeing as noone has piped up with a "yeah they're bobbins, don't expect miracles" I'll push them to get it sorted. I'm still tempted to trade in to a S4 with dsg tho :)

    Manual gearbox

    my '10 2.0 TFSI quattro s-line avant has a gearbox that is tbh, pretty ****e I was putting up with it, because I thought it might loosen up (now done 10k miles), but it's developed a new and dangerous habit of being unwilling to select first gear, instead choosing reverse (seemingly at random)...

    AMI A2DP / Bluetooth streaming adapter

    Has anyone tried one of these?: http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_info.php/language/en/info/p1695_Bluetooth-Adapter---A2DP---fuer-AMI--Audi-music-interface-.html I want to get it for my new A4 to allow wireless streaming from my iPhone - was wondering how good the interface is / usability etc.

    GAP / Tracker - Dealer / 3rd Party?

    is GAP bad? It's not something I've had massive experience of - i'd just figured it as a 'new for old' upgrade to your standard insurance

    GAP / Tracker - Dealer / 3rd Party?

    I saw those ala guys on autotrader as you say - looks like a good deal / reputable insurer. Found quite a few places online (including the guys that did my parrot system - chameleon) who will do the tracker (horizon) for £260 so I'll give the dealer a chance to match both but probably end up...

    GAP / Tracker - Dealer / 3rd Party?

    Hadn't really thought too much about either - but a friend of the wife was just mugged for her car keys, outside her front door 2 streets away from us -- and it's made me think! I had the GAP insurance on my A3 - seems like a rational thing to do, but how about trackers? Assume they're going to...

    2011 Build A4- What's Changed?

    I had a call from the dealer today as it happens - my car is in build (@bodyshop iirc) and I should have it by the end of the month apparently. Doesnt sound entirely fair considering when you ordered! I'd be in a similar situation to you as my car was coming up to it's first MOT, but I thought...

    2011 Build A4- What's Changed?

    the new brochure is on the audi website: http://www.audi.co.uk/about-audi/contact-us/brochures.html Quick comparison shows the start / stop, acoustic windshield and a new model 'Technik' (SE with a few nice toys + leather).

    Thinking about an S4....

    makes particular sense in Aberdeen!

    Iron Man 2

    I did love the bit in the first one, where the Q7 (I think) braked time to avoid crashing and then sucessfully took a battering from a giant robot suit, family inside safe and well. Product placement at it's finest.

    New Avant - B&O / DAB - would you?

    I think I'm at the limit of my funds now!, I'll probably just trash them on the kerb anyway - the ones on my A3 aren't in the best shape to my shame :(

    A4 (B8) 2010 iPhone Bluetooth sync

    a little bit off topic - does the bluetooth allow for a A2DP connection from your ipod? Or do you have to plug it in to play music?

    New Avant - B&O / DAB - would you?

    Was the dealer that knocked it back - secretly a bit disapointed because the 19"s are much nicer looking alloys imho. Our sales lady didn't know about it - but she came back with an official looking memo which suggested the two were not to be ordered together.

    New Avant - B&O / DAB - would you?

    early july with any luck - I've got to stop torturing myself with the audi website :)

    New Avant - B&O / DAB - would you?

    cheers guys - spoke to the dealer at lunch and she was quite happy to add the rear/side blinds (£100) & the sound package (@ £500 - wonder if I'll have to argue that one on collection day!) - said it hadn't affected the build week (she logged on and did it there and then). I think you do take a...

    New Avant - B&O / DAB - would you?

    I could be wrong but I'm sure she said we could change the spec a maximum of 3 times before it went into build - perhaps that was me mis-interpreting 3 days!

    New Avant - B&O / DAB - would you?

    could just be the audi configurator page - but the sound package seems to make you add the DAB after you add the sound package, only saving you £25 if you have both - might be diff when speaking to the dealer? Car is an s-line, but I wanted the damping control / drive select which means you...

    New Avant - B&O / DAB - would you?

    I ordered a new Avant at the beginning of the month and I'm (very) impatiently waiting for it to go into build. I'm going to mither the dealer this week to get the rear window blinds put into the spec, but have been whether to stump up for the B&O / DAB too. My original thoughts on those were...
