    Is it a write off

    Speak to the insurance company writing it off; they will explain exactly why they are assessed it, and you can take it forward with them, albeit as you have seen they work quickly to sell it on. Not surprised it is a write off, although we don't know how old your car is, how many miles etc, and...

    Side mirror heating

    I've got the same on my 2018 B9 A4; next time I am at the garage I'll get them to look at it. One working, one not working. In a lot of Audis, including my last A3, just leaving it at 12 oclock was the setting. That stumped me for the first few times I used my A4, until I read the manual and...

    My S4 thread

    I clicked on the auto trader link a couple of months ago (I think - Covid makes memory recall for 2020 sometimes be a bit out!) and it didn't exist & I couldn't see it at the provider you sold it to, so whether it went to auction or had been sold by then... who knows!

    Best current (2020) scan tool - 2012 Audi A3 TDI

    In the end I've gone for the Ancel VD500 via ebay which has cost me the same as a years subscription to Carista. Seems to do what I want (and I'd rather pay outright). I'll put a few thoughts down in a separate thread once I've had to use it for a few times.

    Best current (2020) scan tool - 2012 Audi A3 TDI

    What did you go for in the end @paulmolive and how have you found it? Just looking into this again after subscribing a couple of years ago for a year when I got Carista. It cleared some codes now and again and I changed a couple of settings. Didn't really use it as much as I initially thought...

    Tuning box review from darkside development

    Last time I saw comments on darkside on here (must be 2 or 3 years ago now) some people didn't rate them. Were suggesting people to go elsewhere. Anyone with a more recent view?
