    High mileage S4 B8

    Hi all, I sold my A3 2006 2.0TFSI Quattro last year when moving back to the UK and am now looking at options in the UK. I will be doing minimal miles. London based so no using it in the week except for the odd run and weekend trips. For that reason I am thinking S4 and that a high miler...

    Roofbars and gearboxes

    Okay, I am fed with cringing every time I stick something (normally skis) through the ski hole, worried it'll scratch some plastic somewhere, so I'd like to get some roof bars, and then a ski bar. Problem is I have no roof bars as standard, plus I have the Panoramic sunroof. Assuming I don't...

    2006 Sportback - Panoramic Sunroof. Clasp on blind disintegrated.

    So having a close look, I am missing one of the black arms shown in the above picture, and the grey piece has the inner tab sheared off. Does anybody know a way of getting these parts without paying a massive premium? I'm living in a country where English is not the first language and my last...

    2006 Sportback - Panoramic Sunroof. Clasp on blind disintegrated.

    Hey guys, Thanks for the responses. Mines definitely sheared off, and I also have the one in the back intact, pus the roof bit seems still intact, it's just the bits that have fallen off (much like ni the pic below).

    2006 Sportback - Panoramic Sunroof. Clasp on blind disintegrated.

    The clasp on the blind which keeps it in place above my head disintegrated last night whilst driving home, and trying to get some respite from the afternoon sun. Still in a 1 yr aftermarket warranty, but I very much doubt it will cover things so trivial. Is this something Audi will replace and...

    Quattro 2.0 TFSI Manual Sportback?

    Hey Scott, Nothing that specific - I just want to be a bit more clued up that I am. I have the manual in German, which is fine for the odd thing. Cheers.

    Quattro 2.0 TFSI Manual Sportback?

    I know this should be easy to find, or at least I think it should! Anyone have a link to a PDF or something for the above car (2006). Ta

    99 Octane petrol

    Wow - so the difference in price between 95 and 98 is about 5 cents, or 3p, but Vpower is another 17 cents (10p) on top of that. Running 98 is a no brainer now, but 99 - hmmm?

    99 Octane petrol

    I'm a recent convert to 98 from 95, having never owned a car new enough before now to worry about what goes in it. If/when I find 99 I'll give it a go. I read somewhere, probably on here than when switching between fuels octanes, that it takes a while for the ECU to respond to the new fuel -...

    Service type - how can I tell?

    Right thanks - I guess that it means I am on time/distance then. The previous owner hasn't done anywhere near 60,000 miles, and seems to have done 2 services since they bought it in mid 2006.

    Service type - how can I tell?

    Hi all, I bought a car in Switzerland imported from Germany. 2.0 TFSI Quattro. Dash has just started saying service is due in x kms or x days. I must admit to not knowing what type of servicing is on the car, as I am a first time Audi owner and am not sure how it works. Log book (in German)...

    2.0 T FSI Quattro - When does the turbo spin?

    Thanks all for the useful info. I only have a choice of 95 or 98 in my local garages. Might have to seek out a Shell and try the 99 vpower. The filler cap I have says 95/98 RON/ROZ, so I presume there is no issues putting 99 in it? Silly question perhaps but worth me asking! I really don't...

    2.0 T FSI Quattro - When does the turbo spin?

    Brit expat, recently moved, so still tend to think in Miles :) Thanks. German car imported - pristine. It's due it's service, and it'll only be it's 3rd major service according to the log book. Going to try and find an official Audi service centre, but have a feeling it will be expensive for...

    2.0 T FSI Quattro - When does the turbo spin?

    Hey akash, Thanks for the response. Really useful. Yeah my bad on the fuel - just habit, but I've realised the error of my ways. It was a Mk3 Golf that I have come from, not the Mk5. I live in Switzerland, so the heavier Quattro is a must for the winter. What would the effect of the lower...

    2.0 T FSI Quattro - When does the turbo spin?

    Hey all, Have a 2006 petrol sportback version of the above titled car. First car I have owned that was less than about 15 years old when I bought it 6 months ago. I was expecting big things but I came from a 2.0 Mk3 Golf GTI so the performance boost was not as noticeable as I hoped. First...
