I wasn't specifically looking for an S line, but most of the petrol 2.tsfi petrol quattros where in S line spec. Not sure how much difference in price between S line and sport at second hand prices I bought used from Audi. The parcel shelf and luggage net divider thingy should be standard on...

Whilst the boot isn't as big as a Octavia or a Superb (or even a golf estate I think) it's big enough for week away - I find the retractable mesh divider that comes with the parcel shelf a godsend because it means you can fully load up the boot and not worry about anything joining you in the...

Thanks Motty. That's my concern!

Hmmm:icon thumright:

No, you're not over thinking it - its juuust too quiet!

Hi RaymyM. Am in exactly the same position. Have gone from aa 2012 2.0TQ avant to a 2016 252TQ Avant and the exhaust is sooooo quiet, even compared to the B8 one. I don't want to spend shed loads on a new exhaust, so have posted on here if anyone has tried the res delete option...

I wasn't the owner when Audi did the work on my (now ex car) . It was probably one of the earlier repairs so may not have included conrods. Whether the later repairs did, I can't say. You'll need to see the job sheet from a current owner who had the job done.

So after the whole episode, my thoughts are: 1. if its a CDNC engine, check it has had the bottom end rebuild done by an Audi garage. If it hasn't, walk away 2. If it has, check that the tensioner and followers etc were done as well. If it hasn't, factor that into your sale. The job itself is...

Has anyone installed the resonator delete option for the 2.0T 252 Quattro? I have a 2016 Avant. The car is so quiet - my previous 2012 B8 2.0T Q at least had some exhaust noise in standard form. I don't want to install a whole exhaust system, remove cats, change downpipes etc I have found...

I too have a 2016 252 quattro. Its an avant. I had the 2.0t quattro avant with the previous B8 shape, albeit manual, with a Revo Stage 1 map, so about the same power. The B9 handles so much better and is clearly quicker, although you have to have it in Sport mode to appreciate. I did have my...

Was not aware of that 5 year thing- yep it was registered in Sept 2010 and it happened last September so I was lucky! But I would urge you to try again - it sounds pretty unacceptable for them to wash their hands of it. Best of luck!

So it sounds like your engine is still turning? So maybe it is feasibly repairable (not with standing cost),That might be why Audi are reluctant to shell out for a new engine? With my engine it was totally absolutely and completely bored. No3 cylinder had no piston - it was in pieces. The...

Am averging 30.3 mpg according to the DIS. I get about 360 miles from a tank brim to brim usually fill up with 62 lites (I guess theres 4 litres in the reserve) thats with a mixture of commuting cruising at 75 (ish officer), caning it and driving at a steady 60-65 a few days a week when trying...

BTW the engine cost was about 8500 so my contribution was roughly the cost if a reconditioned engine - which I would never have bought - I have 2 mates with very bad experiences of them. The only alternative would have been to break the car up to get some money back

Wow - sounds spookily familiar to my experience exactly a year ago. If you search this forum you'll find my thread. Anyway I also had catastrophic engine failure on my 2010 cdnc engine. I had bought it outside of the audi dealer network in 2014 with 92k on the clock but it had a full Audi SH...
