    2.0 TFSI Known Oil Consumption problem - 2015 ongoing thread (2009-2011 models)

    Well as I understand it the issue started to get bad around the 45/50k point so that could very well be the engine rebuild time..Mine was done around 55k

    2.0 TFSI Known Oil Consumption problem - 2015 ongoing thread (2009-2011 models)

    Hold out for a 2012 face-lift model, or buy one with paperwork proving work done. My car has all the paperwork plus I spoke to the previous owner who had the work done and I rang the service department of dealership that did the work, all 3 including the current seller clarified the information...

    Reverse LED light upgrade, nice and bright

    I might go for a set of these if they're issue free, Audi blacked out my rear windows to the point that reversing at night is a real problem!

    Worn leather steering wheel refurbishment success.

    Nice job, I replaced my steering wheel for the same in my 2011 Dynamik. The original wheel is horrific lol!

    Steering wheel & gear knob sliver trim

    someone with rings been driving! Not sure about the steering wheel but I replaced my whole gear knob/gater for one off ebay and to be fair for under £20 at the time I was surprised how good it was...

    Bolt in Tyre Valves

    Turns out that when it came to fitting these properly the place struggled as there's a weird void between inner and outer lip on the valve hole! I reckon it could be done as they had been fitted previously, but tbh I'd lost the will to live with this situation so I told them to bang in the...

    B8 S4 rear view mirror housing seized and shattered.

    I have a spare mirror in black that I bought by mistake when I swapped my white headliner to black, it's auto dimming and has some sort of forward facing sensor. I can dig it out and see if it has a part number e.t.c

    Thermostat?

    Hopefully this seems to be sorted now, ended up changing the the thermostat along with the water pump and belts e.t.c. garage informed me that they could do just the thermostat but my engine has the set up that's all in one with the pump so fitting the entire kit would make more sense. So far...

    Thermostat?

    Had the temp sensor changed today and no different, drove car without heaters on Hi (had them set at 19.5, fan on 3 ) After a short while the gauge shot up, then went into the red and alarm warning as before (check coolant / turn off engine e.t.c.) drove on a little bit to first available pull...

    Tears for Fears..."so glad we almost made it...." Couldn't have been more apt! Pot holes in Devon and Cornwall getting to the point of stupidity :blink: at last people have been more proactive and started putting traffic cones in the big ones....if you're lucky you can just see the top poking...

    Thermostat?

    If I turn the heating off the temperature gauge goes straight up if I turn it on it instantly goes back down. Only other thing is that the car is on 106k and probably on og water pump...

    Help Please Rear wiper arm reset? No longer returning to ‘parked’ position!

    Motor everytime pretty much, I've done this several time's now on various b6 avants and unless you have a puller tool I wouldn't attempt it as no amount of penetrating oil would loosen the shaft of the wiper arm you need to remove to replace the motor. One of the reasons I went for a saloon this...

    Thermostat?

    I'd noticed recently occasionally after a short drive the fans would be running after switching the car off, thought it strange as never done this in the time that I've had the car. Anyhow today it did it again, I waited by the car and it only went on for a few minutes, then once back in the car...

    S4 All Season Tyres

    I have 2 sets of wheels and run Conti's Winter Contact sport this time of year, not much snow ever but sometimes ice and lots of wet. Find them a great winter tyre and with the recent snow my 1/2 a mile lane that leads up hill from the house was pretty much one sheet of ice all the way up. No...

    Audi S4 B8.5 can you put a B8 black headlining in

    This one is pretty good; https://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/721962-headliner-removal Just ignore all the stuff about sunroof. Not sure if it was a special tool or just that those clips are hard to pull out, I didn't do mine I paid a VAG Indie cash as they wanted to see if they could...

    Audi S4 B8.5 can you put a B8 black headlining in

    Best route in is through the boot, if you take off all the side trim's in the boot it will gain you enough room so slide the main headliner out and in. The best advice I can give is drop the main liner after removing all the other parts (grab handles are a pain and need a special tool iirc) use...

    Audi S4 B8.5 can you put a B8 black headlining in

    Also if you buy from somewhere like ebay use the Eastern European sellers as them guys out there worship the Audi lol I'd bought one complete kit from the Uk and when it arrived I found their idea of "mint" was very different from mine, bought another from Latvia or somewhere like it and...
