    Spare car key

    So I called Audi today to see what they had to say..they quoted £442. Not sure I can bring myself to spend that on a key. There must be a cheaper alternative.

    Spare car key

    Hello. I have a 2014 A4 avant and have lost my spare key. I’d like to know if anyone can advise or recommend where to get a replacement. The key I use now pushes into the dash to start the car. I’m assuming I’d need some sort of coding / cloning of the key I currently use? Thankyou

    Brakes / wheel overheating intermittent.

    Thanks I’ll have a look at the calliper tomorrow, first time it happened it seemed to correct its self and drove perfectly afterwards. I’ve seen a replacement calliper for around £120 but not sure how much work is involved and if it’s something I can do! I have all the gear but not much idea...

    A4 B8 Speed Related noise on front end

    Hi, I thought I may have a damaged wheel bearing but that doesn't seem to be the case. The sound I'm getting is almost like something is catching on a tyre at the front, except its not. There's no play in the wheel bearings either. when being driven it seems to be coming from a central area of...
