    Wheel size or tyre size change?

    Hey all I want to improve the handling & ride on 2013 2.0tdi Quattro Avant Black Ed. its on the 19" with the 255/35 19 tyres. My question is can i put 18" wheels on without messing up MPH accuracy etc? Or alternatively change tyres on the 19" to say a 245/40 profile tyre? I've never done...

    Steering feel 2015 vs servotronic

    It bothers me alright. To the point I tried to sell the car back to the dealer within a week of buying it. It too was on Conti Sports which thanks to some forum advice I changed for Michelin's with made a huge improvement. The car has all the software updates applied. I think Audi dropped those...

    B7 2.0T quattro to B8 2.0tfsi quattro S-tronic - MPG..& Handling observations

    I have a 2013 A4 2.0tdi Quattro 177 Avant Stronic. Black Edition.It has been a real love hate relationship. I used to own a 05 B6 Manual 2wd before and have found myself really missing that car. My biggest gripe is the steering. The car understeers everywhere, tramlines like crazy and just...

    A/c Compressor not working.

    Got my A/C re-gassed & it turns out the A/c compressor is not receiving a 12v feed. Does anyone know if this is likely to be the compressor itself or a related component (2013 Quattro B8). Thanks

    Quattro, S Tronic & MPG..!

    I am certainly not far off the figures i quoted for the B6. It has been and still is a fantastic motor. I am loathe to part with it. The new B8 is just taking some getting used to. Particularly adjusting to the change in MPG and that S-tronic gearbox-which makes me feel slightly 'detached' from...

    Quattro, S Tronic & MPG..!

    Well I drove (in the B6) from Liverpool to London and back and did some pottering around town and the DIS is still showing 120 miles left. The B6 1,9Tdi is a legendary engine. I am thinking of keeping it as a work car and using my B8 Black edition as Sunday best!!

    Quattro, S Tronic & MPG..!

    Thank you very much thats good advice and actually I can do the comparison because I still have the B6 as I didn't trade it. I was replying on the DIS for comparison. I did not know they could be so inaccurate. I will do the test over the next few weeks. If the results are the similar to the DIS...

    Quattro, S Tronic & MPG..!

    I did consider this but still find it hard to reconcile the 200 mile difference in range. If it was a 3.0 then maybe.

    Quattro, S Tronic & MPG..!

    Hey all new to the B8 forum but not to the site. I have just got a B8 Quattro 2.0Tdi Avant with the STronic gearbox. I had a B6 Avant 1.9Tdi (manual) So putting 50 sheckles in my B6 gave me an approx range (according to the OBC) of 620 miles..which was very cool and made my wallet very happy...

    S Tronic Gearbox reliable ?

    Hey all, I have had a search for an answer but can't find anything specific, so maybe someone can offer an opinion? Im looking at a 2013 A4 quattro S Tronic. Love the car but the reliability and costs involved in maintaining the S Tronic scare me a bit. Any thoughts please?

    Question about door blade repair?

    A bit of paint about the size of a 5p has come off one of my door blades. What would be the best way to repair? Is it just a case of touching up with a paint pen or should I use something else? Any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks

    Hello!

    Hello, I've had my A4 b6 130 avant sport for about 18 months. I have decided to do a few subtle mods so thought I would come to a forum that can offer loads of great info and advice. I will post pics of my car in the relevant section in the next few days with a 'few' questions! Good to be...

    **CRAZY PAINTER's BUILD THREAD**

    Found this thread this morning and have to say I am fascinated by some of the things you have done. I have an 04 b6 avant in atlas grey. It has all the stock chrome window trims on which your pics make me want to get rid of. Do you know if they can be painted or replaced? Really like the...
