    Creaking Noise - Front of Car

    Following the suspension work the car now goes very nicely over bumps, however I have some residual noise which I am pretty sure is coming from the piece of trim at the top of the pedal box. This is shown in the attached photo and is loose and flapping around. Can anyone tell me how it should be...

    Creaking Noise - Front of Car

    I purchased a 2016 A4 Avant earlier this year, and for the entire time I've owned it have experienced a creaking noise coming from somewhere on the offside front of the car. To cut a very long story short it has had numerous suspension components replaced along with both front wheel bearings...

    Android Auto / Waze Issue

    It’s a fair question, but I’d be surprised if it turns out to be a retrofit as it’s not showing the telltale sign of needing to be in Aux all the time, and also I would have thought the dealer would have picked that up pretty quickly.

    Android Auto / Waze Issue

    I’ve recently acquired an A4 Avant. It’s on a 16 plate but I understand was manufactured in late 2015, so a pretty early B9. The car has Tech Pack fitted. I’m having a problem using Waze on Android Auto. Frequently when Waze plays a voice prompt or some other sound plays (e.g. the parking...

    (Almost) new owner with questions

    I thought that CarPlay and Android Auto were standard on UK cars? IIRC sat va was standard on Sport and above, so if it’s an SE it may not have that.

    Dipping Wing Mirror

    Got a bit of an issue when I try and use the passenger side dipping wing mirror by turning the mirror adjustment control with the car in reverse. Instead of adjusting correctly the glass now just randomly vibrates and doesn't lower as it should. Using the mirror adjustment joystick moves the...

    1.8TFSI Rough Running When Cold

    Any hope this was a figment of my imagination evaporated yesterday evening when I ended up pulling away in a very learner-esque kangaroo fashion as a result. Looks like the car will be in the garage next week to investigate, but has anyone else had this problem?

    First time back at dealers

    I have ruled out the Mk. 8 Golf. I don't particularly like it, and the cost cutting is ridiculous. If I go down the hatch route I think it will be an A Class or a 1 Series, although not test driven either yet due to lockdown. Thanks for the A5 Sportback suggestion, this seems to be a popular...

    First time back at dealers

    Those who read the A4 forum will know that I need to swap my 3 door 8V (which I’ve owned from new in 2013, and have generally been very happy with) for something a little more family friendly over the next few months. Still pondering the 5 door hatch / saloon / SUV question, but with all these...

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    Anyone else feel these wait times are excessive for a fairly mainstream car?

    New car's expected mileage and "delivery mode" question

    Several years ago now, but from memory my car had between 20 and 30 miles on the clock when I picked it up. My gut feel was the dealer had allowed someone to use it for a test drive, particularly as they had stored it for a few weeks (it arrived earlier than expected from the factory and I...

    Anyone else underwhelmed by the B&O system?

    I’m still on an 8V (at least for now), but sound systems like this generally need “running in.” If the car is brand new you will probably find it improves with time.

    Thoughts on S4 B9 Petrol Replacements?

    Had a C on hire a couple of years ago and actually really rather liked it. I agree the iPad superglued to the dash interiors weren’t the best, but the newer models don’t have those.

    Thoughts on S4 B9 Petrol Replacements?

    There is a new C Class due out this year I believe? On the 3 series, although I am yet to test drive one I have seen the odd mention in reviews of the pedals being offset in RHD versions. Wouldn’t surprise me if this is true as BMW have history in this respect...

    Anyone running a saloon with a baby?

    Thanks, some really useful comments here. I was concerned lifting the child in/out of the baby seat and fastening/unfastening the straps might be awkward, but it seems not. Hadn’t considered an A5 sportback but agree the bigger boot opening might be useful so will add this to the list.

    Anyone running a saloon with a baby?

    Have an addition due to the family later this year which means the 3 door A3 will need to go. I’m a bit stuck as to what to replace it with. A small SUV (Q3, Tiguan, XC40 etc.) would no doubt hurt less getting the child in and out, but would hurt more from the driving seat due to the poor...

    Accident damage

    Don’t think Sat Nav was standard anywhere when the 8V was launched unless you had Tech Pack. I have an S-line (without Tech Pack) and had to pay to add Sat Nav after I bought it. I don’t use it anymore though, Waze is much better.
