    Gah!! .....I mean everything seems ok following their advice and I probably wellied it (for a short period of time) a handful of times in that period. But why they can't tell you that I don't know! I thought following his advise made sense! Doh!

    Yeh I had white smoke now and again. Not loads but it happened. But also don't forget at the moment it's a lot colder so you will probably notice white smoke a lot more! The TFSi engine runs very hot! I wouldn't say the engine was quieter after the work. Not that I noticed anyway. What you are...

    Hi B4 You've got me thinking now!! I'll double check about the head it was that long ago now but I am certain I had a new head too. It had previously gone in to limp home mode, this was because the spark plugs were clogged up with carbon deposits and weren't firing right. I first of all took...

    Hello all, it has been a long time since I was last on but I just wanted to update you on my car! Just to recap, I failed the consumption tests and had to have new head, piston rings, valves, con rod etc. I ran it in for 3000miles and have done a few thousand miles since then and the car is...

    Hia Scottish Yeah I am well happy! Cheers! I can actually enjoy the car again! Roll on the nice weather! To be honest I'm not 100% about it sounding beefier! apparently when I had the oil consumption test stage 1 I was told I had the latest software already so can't be certain but it does feel...

    Evening all, just thought I would swing by and update you on my car! To recap, I have the 2009 Audi A4 2.0T FSi 211bhp Sline Avant and I've had 'the fix' now. Picked it up 2nd January from Audi and lucky for me I've had a high mileage month. I was told to run it in for so many miles, so take it...

    Pfft. I think I dreamt the seeing it online bit but I'm 99% sure I read it on screen in Audi that my car had something done in relation to the filler cap as part of a recall or something. Take a look at this chat about it all... Fuel Flap Help

    Sorted the boot release! MMI > CAR > Central Locking > Boot Release > Off. This means if when you're stationary, engine running, you get out, press the padlock open button on your drivers door and it will allow you to open the boot! Happy days! ;o)
