    2.0 TDI MPG

    Yes, have seen it on "THIS IS MONEY" too. It appears Audi aren't the worse offenders. Lab tests vs real world = 10 to 25 mpg difference...

    My New S4 Avant

    Very nice car mate! More pics would be nice to the see the S4 features. I am interested to find out what mpg you get in normal driving (combined). Not from the DIS reading but by a real calculation. From full tank until the DIS shows range=zero and calculate the fuel litres used by seeing how...

    2.0 TDI MPG

    Still concerned about the mpg on my A4 FL Avant 2.0TDI 177 Quattro. Have been away on business so haven't had a chance to get through the 2nd tank since pick up. The mpg seems to have improved but is at about 40mpg so far, with normal driving and start/stop. This is still far from the claimed...

    Urgent help needed on worn tyres...

    Michelin! You pay the price but feel the difference...but you should indeed have the tracking checked even if the car is new.

    BEST ENGINE? 1.8TFSi (160ps) v 2.0TFSi (211ps) v 2.0TDi (143ps)

    Depends what you want in my opinion. I have had sports cars all my life but you just can't use them on UK roads, except on the motorway, but that is straight line speed and it's boring IMHO! I now have an A4 Avant FL 2.0TDI 177 BE Quattro and it is more than enough power on UK roads but if you...

    Matt black plastic front grill instead of piano black on new 2012 A4 Black Edition

    Got my car now and I'm pleased with the matt black grille with piano black surround. The matt black is dark and not the boring greyish stuff...

    Buying used A4 from dealership - Advice Needed

    You are likely to get better deals if you use Audi to finance... Don't think you have a weak position because you have given them a £500 pound deposit. Just remember to mention 3 letters every now and again when negotiating....B....M.....W..... It's not a magic solution but it helps... Remember...

    Buying used A4 from dealership - Advice Needed

    Dealers/Audi will only give you one of their cars if they fail to deliver on a confirmed build date/delivery date, which only gets confirmed 2 weeks before it goes into production. In my experience....NO CHANCE!

    Buying used A4 from dealership - Advice Needed

    You can get big discounts from Audi when you buy new cars, especially if you go for the petrol engines. You will get little to no discount on a used car from them. I was being offered the same price for a new FL A4 BE as I was for a used outgoing model. When I ordered my A4, it was due to arrive...

    Facelift 2012 A4 Avant 2.0TDI Quattro 177PS Black Edition> Delivery time?

    I think there are 4 shades of grey on offer (Monsoon, Ice Silver, Lava and Daytona) but the Daytona Grey is only available on the S-line and the Black Edition and is not available on the S4 or S4 BE.

    Facelift 2012 A4 Avant 2.0TDI Quattro 177PS Black Edition> Delivery time?

    Yes, delighted with it! Now my dealer has fine tuned it, it's perfect. Very pleased with the colour, I originally ordered the Moonlight Blue but don't regret the change 1 second. From order to delivery in 8 weeks thanks to the colour change, I was looking at 25 weeks for the Moonlight Blue.

    2.0 TDI MPG

    However, I managed to do 20 miles with the computer showing 0 miles left and when I filled up, I managed to add only 57 litres,the tank is supposed to be 61 Litres. This would suggest I still had 4 litres left in the car. I think the computers are configured to show a very conservative range to...

    2.0 TDI MPG

    Picked up my new A4 2.0 TDI 177 quattro last week. On the first tank, I got 33mpg combined vs the claimed 53.3 mpg combined. I did not use the the start/stop but did do a lot of motorway miles on cruise control. This appears to be very low. I have filled up yesterday and will do another good...
