    40k service ?

    My A4 is also coming up to the 40k service and looking in the book the gearbox oil also needs replacing as its an auto. Perhaps this is also something they've included in the cost as from what I can gather thats approx another £150. Good tip about the price matching. I wonder if they would...

    I do prefer the feel of mine of since being on 40. Ive only had them on it for a few thousand miles so cant confirm about wear for sure. For info they are Michelin pilot sport 3.

    Squeking noice & Seat Movement HELP!!!

    I had an issue with a very slight seat movement to the sides on the drivers seat and was only noticeable around corners. Originally they couldn't find anything wrong with it but after some persistence they replaced the seat base which resolved it for me. This was on a 2014 A4 and was done under...

    Hill Assist / Hill Hold Assist

    It may be different as I'm talking about my A4 B8.5 and to be fair this is an A3 thread but mine doesn't use the full handbrake when using HA and the dash P goes green. This is definitely quicker for pulling away than the red P light, that does use the full hand brake. When on green and pulling...

    PSI for 19"

    Interesting as I would of thought that's rather low, not that I'm an expert. For info I have michelin pilot sport 3 255/35/19 What's your mpg like on those pressures do you know? I have the 2.0 TDI (170) and get 48mpg on a long drive at about 70.

    Hill Assist / Hill Hold Assist

    After hearing the brake lights stay on when use hold assist I had a quick look on my car and found when you let go of the foot brake when the green P light is on the dash the rear brake lights go off. This to me is the benefit as I don't have to sit on the foot brake and wear out my left finger...

    Hill Assist / Hill Hold Assist

    Oh I didn't realise the brake lights remained on when using hold assist. In fact I thought it was the opposite as that was what I thought would be a benefit by not sat on the brake pedal in traffic! It does appear to be the same level as the handbrake but that's not on when I'm sat on the...

    PSI for 19"

    I have 39 all round and it feels 'nice' plus gives me a good mpg. Any more and it feels a bit too light for my preference

    Hill Assist / Hill Hold Assist

    Hey all. Firstly wanted to say this is a brilliant thread and after reading decided to retrofit Hold Assist to my A4. I didn't do it myself and had a retrofit specialist do the work and I'm very impressed with them and the excellent service they gave me. However I do have one query that I'm...

    Audi A4 Lava Gray Paint Stains

    Thanks Manda. I suspected so as you did mention it before. I dont mind paying if its the birds as you're right I can expect Audi to fork out of soemthign outside of their control. I just remain unconvinced this is it and that somehow the laquer isnt doing the job right. Ill def arrange the...

    Audi A4 Lava Gray Paint Stains

    I did think about another dealer but then thought they'd be just as 'helpful.' Cant hurt though so will give one a call and see. Manda were your marks caused by birds then or just seem to appear over a short space of time? Since the detailer worked their magic have any returned? Cheers

    Audi A4 Lava Gray Paint Stains

    Cheers for the reply. I appreciate the advice and recommendations. :) I had another interesting conversation with them yesterday and spoke to the paint guys boss. He admitted its not under the laquer but wouldn't budge from saying that it was birds despite me stating the car gets wiped once...

    Audi A4 Lava Gray Paint Stains

    Thanks for the advice. I spoke to the dealer and he said that its below the laquer and only fix is a respray. The car is in warranty but Ill will take your advice and take it to a detailer for a second opinion. At least that may weight the conversations with the dealer. My next question then...

    Audi A4 Lava Gray Paint Stains

    Hey all, I've just had my 2014 A4 in the dealers to look at the paint stains which look a bit like water marks. They're all over the car and especially the bonnet. Audi's 'paint guy' has insisted they are bird dropping marks and can only be fixed with a respray. However I cant see how this is...
