    A4 2.0T Used Value---Warning!!!!

    As you correctly say it does seem odd changing such a new low mileage car, however we have a Touran for family use and the Audi really is not used much now so thought I would change it for something less practicle perhaps an A4 Cabriolet. Just wanted to warn anybody considering an A4 to...

    Re-badging

    Following my recent post about the second hand value of my A4 Avant I'm keeping it !!! and would also like to put badges back, the dealer removed then for me when I collected the car from new and I recall the 2.0T with he T in red. I guess I can order them from the dealer but am also unure...

    A4 2.0T Used Value---Warning!!!!

    Warning, Warning, Warning: Having decided to change my November 2005 A4 Avant 2.0T SE I was in for a shock, despite having 5 months warranty left, only 18500 miles and completely immaculate the best offer was £11.5K with a couple of places refusing to take it at all as a PX. The “book”...

    A4 Phone Connection

    Thanks for the feedback, I did try this along with two fuses that are labelled "Telephone" neither Telephone fuses switched off the DIS so not sure what they do. The Radio fuse did switch the radio off but did not clear the fault. Booked the car in at the dealers and then the fault cleared...

    A4 Phone Connection

    Hi, My 2005 2.0T Avant has the Bluetooth phone connection selected via the Mode control on the steering wheel. All okay until yesterday when the phone went flat & turned off during a call now the system has stuck in "Phone " mode with the word "Phone" permanently on the radio display and the...

    24H8 2.0T Upgrade ?????

    Having tackled the dealer again about this ECU upgrade (designed to protect the clutch) it seems a number of owners are complaining that the engine feels less lively and that the revs are not full controlled by your own foot after the upgrade is carried out. The upgrade was carried out as part...

    2.0T ECU Updates

    I'm being told the 24H8 Engine ECU Software Update is for "clutch protection" which is why the revs are held when accelerating aggressively. The implication of changing the software back is the clutch not being covered by the warranty ???

    2.0T ECU Updates

    Just found the difference in the ECU software, the new version keeps the engine revs high when you lift off the throttle to change gear, most noticeable between first & second gear when driving aggressively. Had this "problem" on my previous A3 2.0FSI, and found it very disconcerting but...

    2.0T ECU Updates

    Had my 2005 2.0T SE Avant serviced for the first time yesterday (11500 miles when it told me it needed a service !) and the job sheet showed "24H8 Engine ECU Software Update", the dealer had no idea what the update was and the car ran fine before the service, any idea what was up graded ?. Not...

    A3 Sportback -> A4 Avant?

    I don't wish to start the Diesel v Petrol discussions but I was completely smitten with the 2.0T when driven back to back with the 2.0TDI, give it a try. Obviously it will never be in the same league fuel economy wise but its very satisfing engine.

    A3 Sportback -> A4 Avant?

    Having recently changed from an A3 3 door to an A4 Avant for similar reasons for me the A4 wins by miles. It just seems more sophisticated (I am getting on a bit in years!!), the SE has a nice balance between comfort and fun and the extra space whilst not huge is welcome. The biggest...
