Hi guys, I'm considering buying a B8.5 A4 Avant 2.0TFSI Quattro S-Tronic.
I had a B8 same as above before, can anyone inform me of any mechanical changes or revisions , more specifically in the Auto S-tronic and engine like piston rings, injectors , turbo But also any other things like...
Yeah they are. Just annoyed that he never took it to a good independent Audi specialist, he always took it to wee slightly dodgy backstreet garages . That seemed really helpful to cheaply sort something , which my bruv thought was good .. but not long term .
told him multiple times , take it to...
Hey, thanks mate ! Yes the wheels are hurting my eyes too :0
I’ll ask mechanic , I have a feeling he might of just replaced the pads and not bled the system again , as it’s basically the same feeling braking as before the new pads . Brake fluid was done with service last year , so that why I...
Hi , not been here for a while .. 10 years ! It I’ve just got my old 2004 B7 2.0T Quattro back from my brother , and am trying to sort a few things out.
unfortunately While he loved it he, didn’t take proper care of it , cosmetically and mechanically
the engine is still running superb tho ...
Emissions concern - S4 ha! I did seriously consider a S4 , just get a ‘proper car’ before everything goes electric . But yeah the ULEZ kicks in next year in every Scottish city so had to consider that. And marvelling at 40+mpg rather than 18-25 , god knows what I would have got in a S4 !
nice , yeah they got the r-line styling right , and enough toys tech to sway Audi drivers
that sounds strange , usb check cables, USB port and the canbus power and PSU board in the infotainment.
Something is draining more power that it should be , could be a connector pin is bent and in wrong...
Thanks!
do a search on VW used website , as many options / age , and cash or pcp options and you can see what is local.
You can get an approved 3 year old SE for 18k up to 26k for a R-line 4 motion
Well that me off, said goodbye to my A4 Avant Q 2.0TFSI s-tronic and traded it in for a lovely VW tiguan R-line 4 motion DSG 2.0 tdi
Getting older gone a bit sensible !
thought I’d do a wee recap and compare for anyone interested .
A huge thanks to everyone here for , help , knowledge, banter...
thanks, yeah I’m working on the electrical arm to loosen it off with wd40 and force! Thin it’s just all rusted up .
And I’ve got the mechanism on the tow bar working now too, that needed lubed and worked as was stuck .
does the electrical arm need to be down position for the tow bar to be able...
Hi,
I have the detachable tow bar I got with car (assuming it’s the right oem one)
Now can anyone give me help to how it fits on?
Maybe it’s not been use in a while and all seized up ..
The knurled dial doesn’t turn but the lock inset does with w screwdriver. Nothing visibly moves on tow...
No, no stones or things that could of smashed it lying around or in car.
And we are in a access private road , neighbours drives either side (they are sound) only a public footpath on far edge of private road , would of have to be a good shot to smash it cleanly first time from the footpath...
So I woke up to find this , this morning . Didn’t hear a thing and bedroom looks over the driveway . Mind I was tired and a couple of glasses of red .
Strangely no other cars in cul-de-sac were smashed and a neighbour has a nice white b8.5 convertible (but a 2.0tdi) whereas mine is a 2.0tfsi...
Thanks good to know , also I don’t think you’d get roof bikes on the Chunnel train , maybe the ferry ?
Does see a bit safer and tidier if done right on the rear ...
Hi, does anyone have experience of bike racks for the avant ?
- ie what is better generally rear or roof mounted for up to 2 bikes (I know a lot will depend on brand ‘ price , quality)
If it’s roof I’ll need to factor in roof rack bars , which I assume I can fit without any extra bits on an...
And got a 50% off euro car parts , so that takes the sting off a
thanks will do , just did static reading 12.54v but it’s just been charging , so that may drop overnight .
looked at battery in boot , and appears I have to take subwoofer out to access it?! B&O system in it.
