I have had my car back to Audi only to be told that's the way they are can't do anything about it.

Well the road test didn't flag up any of the gearbox failures either did they

new S5 here, experience the exact same. Slamming it in S makes things a little more bearable, but I have to totally disagree about the person(people?) who said it was not a safety concern. It totally is. More than once now i've been at junctions or roundabouts and had a sufficient gap to pull...

Pulling the gear leaver back puts it in sport and I have tried this to no avail as I said only way is whack it in manual and plant it then it will go - not so simple eh

Mmmmm I don't see haveing to put an auto gearbox into manual to get it to go simple and this in my mind is dangerous as you just don't know when the lag will kick in. Something is not quite right and I do agree that the manual has no lag as my first A4 was a manual and I had no lag at all.

I was just about to post the exact same as CH 12. I have an A4 Avant 190 TDI Sline with S tropic box this is my second A4 in 6 months as my first had to be replaced due to an issue with the chassis -long story. I have noticed exactly the same issue re lag and have fried every combination of...

Yep that's the one. The new B9 avant has two storage areas one on each side. The hatchbag has the one on the right but not the left but that didn't annoy me at all. You can use the net as the hatchbag simply fixes via very strong Velcro and once in place won't come loose when the dogs move...

If it's any help I have a hatch bag in my avant B9 and it fits perfectly.

Well it's been a long saga but the car ended up at the dealers for a month so after a few meetings and arguments the car was rejected and new one ordered which is now due at the end of this month. I have my old car back now and the knocking is fixed but the flickering and other mmi issues...

I have an ultra 2.0 TDI S line on order and is due end of January. From what I could tell it has a slightly lower co2 emission and I think the bik is lower.

That's brill many thanks fully armed now but not holding much hope will keep you updated

Happy days thanks. It's a 2.0 TDI s line avant

Ok a little update my car has been with the dealers fo the past 2 weeks and still is not fixed. I have a meeting in the morning with the sales manager and he wants proof that there was a price increase from my16 (which my car is) and my17. Can't seem to find an Audi my16 price list anywhere and...

We will see I won't hold my breath it's a pity Audi themselves don't look at forums as I'm sure they wouldn't be happy the way some things are handled by dealers.

No temp display problem. The knocking comes from the drivers side footwell and it's a known issue with Audi but they have no fix for it. TBH all these issues have soured my taste a bit with Audi and there after sales ain't great. Car is going back to them tomorrow and staying with them until...
