Just taken delivery of a new Glacier White 177 BHP S-Tronic quattro. a week old and been back to the dealers already, issues with heavy vibration through steering, apparently this is the second car this dealership has had with the same issues. The fix! Inflate the front tyres 2-3 PSI...

gents, FYI the coasting only occurs when you select "e" economy mode in drive select, yes you are correct, when you release the throttle the drive disengages from the gearbox and the engine goes to idle, but as soon as you touch the throttle or the brake pedal, the gearbox re-engages. the...

Been in touch with Audi UK regarding details of the sports exhaust, they told me initially that the sports exhaust has black tips and the original has chrome tips and the sports exhaust is slightly louder, no **** sherlock! Any way after countless phone calls, they refused to send me a data...

sorry, type error, the tyres will be 255/35/19. i have the original double spoke RS-4 style 19 inch alloys on our 2010 S-line, they are 19 x 9 ET52 with 255/35/19 ZR contis. They fill the complete arch with the lowered S-line suspension. the reason i know the ET is that i purchased other...

Warren, I currently run an RS-5 with the Audi optional sports exhaust and have driven a couple with stock exhausts, the stock models sound tame when compared, especially with the downshift kicks in and on the overun. The sport exhaust is a £1000 option, but my dealer could not offer me any...

Does anyone know if there are any power/performance advantages with the sports exhaust over the stock item/ I have heard rumours that GMBH are claiming 20 BHP, any truth or an urban myth?

audi must think our heads zip up the back if they think that the new sportback is going to turn heads the toyota T3 and the alfha which have been on the go for ages. Audi have a lot to learn regarding badge snobbery and only have to look at B.M.W. to learn that if the product is not value for...
