Now SOLD

Having sold my A4 I have a set of genuine Audi 18" wheels and winter tyres available. The wheels came off an A4 B9 3.0 tdi 272 Tiptronic Quattro Avant Wheels - Genuine Audi 18" Alloys, Part Number 8W0601025H, 8J x 18", ET40, inc. centre caps. One of the wheels has a small kerb mark which has...

On the motorway mostly on D-Eco, with the odd swipe to S. Hex can vcds should work I guess, but I haven't tried it, should be reading the same registers so I can't see why not.

Firs dealer where I bought it from could not sort it, they just lubricated the guides and it failed to close when I picked the car up, NFI..! However, sorted by a different dealer under warranty FOC, invoice says they did a software update.

Ad Blue level can be checked with the OBDeleven and an android device, so far I've put in 2x 10 lts

Just under 20k in mine, it's got 27k on the clock now, I bought with 7k on the clock. I've run the 'Road Trip' app on my iPhone since buying it and to date the average is 47.7 mpg, but that's mostly solo motorway mileage of journeys around 100 miles. Best on the car computer was a tad over 64...

I had this a few times, again like you it was intermittent. Car went in for its first service yesterday and I mentioned it, there was no rebuke. On the service sheet they said they had put a software update in, not sure if this was connected or not, but has been ok since, I’ll reply here if it’s...

Always better to go with a slightly narrower and higher aspect ratio for winters. Works out around the same rolling radius, so the sidewall will look about the same.

Mine worked well yesterday on the way home after being away with work for a few days, I thought people had a bad parking moment then realised they were abandoned. Best thing that grips snow is .. er snow, unless you’ve got spikes,

Door sticker tells you what’s recommended for each model and what sizes for M&S.

eBay, New Audi original wheels and AO tyres from Germany - £1,400 if I remember right. Insurance not bothered, but no discount and no additional cost as meet the sizes are per the door sticker.

Drove home, past lots of stranded cars

Agreed a bargain, but this is only available to the original owner when the car is first registered. So if you're buying new definitely worth it. However if like me you buy used, even from an Audi dealership, then Audi don't do a service package until the car is much older, car was only...

Hi, I was in the same position about 4 months ago with a 13 plate c350 cdi on 70,000 miles, I went for an 8 month old 272 diesel Avant, but as others have pointed out diesels are really for the larger mileages, most of my journeys are around 100 miles on the motorway and all told mpg is 47.0...

I have a Thule roof rack system with 3 bike carriers, mine uses 1200mm aero bars which have now been replaced by the aeroblade/wing bars. Each time I change cars I just buy new feet and sell the old ones. I think all Thule bars essentially have the same clamping system to the car and whatever...
