    Substitue engine code for AVJ 1.8t

    I need to replace my blown AVJ coded engine but need to know if the APT engine you are selling is a direct replacement. Has it a chain driven oil pump and internal water pump? Cheers

    I'm really struggling to find a replacement AVJ engine. Can I use any other code without wiring issues? Is an APU ok?

    I got a 'Handover Checklist' but no certificate with mileage verification!?!?! I just emailed the salesman at Stockport Audi advising him that I am suspicious about the cars mileage authenticity and that I will be taking it to an independant dealership for appraisal. I will list all the...

    Slipping clutch @ 24k mls! Mileage genuine??

    Very suspicious indeed. I sat in a brand new S4 in the dealership the other week and the gear stick felt really stiff, mine feels quite loose when engaged in gear (manual). Also, the passengers lower seat bolster has very very slight wrinkling. I telephoned an Audi dealership in Leeds which...

    Slipping clutch @ 24k mls! Mileage genuine??

    I got 12 months warranty on her as she is an approved used Audi from an Audi dealership. Not the point though...I'm worried shes been clocked at some stage. Come to think of it, she needed new front discs and pads before I picked her up.

    Slipping clutch @ 24k mls! Mileage genuine??

    If you slip the clutch in 4th, 5th or 6th she revs away. Very strange as she only has 24k on the clock. I spoke to the previous owner on Friday and he told me that she had a new gearbox fitted last year, but said the mileage was genuine as far as he know and he had had her for 2 years and only...

    S4 buying advice

    Why you selling her Stoakseya4? I see you have fitted a K&N to your S4. Did it make much of a difference to the induction noise?

    S4 buying advice

    I'm only planning around 12-13k per year in the S4, so running costs shouldnt be too bad. I have an '03 VW Lupo TDI Sport to run around the town in. Fab we cars!! Have a tuning module on her to give 90bhp, and still returns a staggering 65-68mpg!! Have had 75mpg on a trip down south in her...

    S4 buying advice

    I'm not worried about the MPG, just curious as to what the car realistically returns when driven with care. So around 28-30mpg should be expected on long motorway runs sitting at 70? What are they like on tyre? Life expectancy?

    S4 buying advice

    Ok, thanks. Looking to use it for daily driving to the office, which is mostly motorway driving. What sort of actual MPG will I be looking at at crusing at 70 with the cruise control on? Shes an auto.
