    So Long

    Well, it's finally time to say goodbye to the Black Widow, so i'll be leaving the forums. Just wanted to say bye, and thanks to everyone who chipped in w/ info and advice for a noob Audi owner :-) have to say, moving on from the Dynamik will be a very sad day, i've abolutely loved every second...

    Sat Nav Map updates

    this is an ongoing source of anger for me. my maps haven't been updated since i got the car in 2011, but i'm not willing to pay £300 for a dvd. if TomTom can give countless free updates on a £120 item, and VW are now offering freee updates, why TF can Audi not support their customers and do...

    Low Battery Level - Battery Will Be Charged Whilst Driving

    Anyone had this message? Possibly not unexpected to have this come on, w/ the battery being over 7 years old and the cold weather etc, but the handbook implies it stays on until the battery is charged, and mine vanished almost instantly. another of the weirdie warnings i've had or possibly...

    Frozen MMI

    total lack of response last time, but maybe others have come across it since? happened again this morning. powered off ok last night as far as i'm aware, set off this morning and none of the MMI buttons would work, just got the splash screen on the display. turned the ignition off/on at traffic...

    Wheel Alignment in Newcastle, Recommendations Please?

    thanks for the replies so far. it's for 4-wheel, i was going to amend my thread title but i can't see how to do it? came across AK but they listed themselves as MX5 specialists so i didn't know how appropriate they'd be, will put them on the list. cheers

    Quick Question: Exhaust Fell Off

    well my B8 is from 2011 and i've not had this issue, if that means anything. and i have had water-related issues before [we believe] as driving through deep water during "Thunder Thursday" seemed to be the cause of some wirings issues i had w/ my brakes. surely if it was due to rust they could...

    Wheel Alignment in Newcastle, Recommendations Please?

    Hi, had the Widow in for a check-up today, had a fleeting brake warning light come on but i've not been happy w/ the handling at the rear, seems to be spongy and lacking grip. had a new shocker in April, but this time there was no issues. went out w/ the chief tech and the only thing he could...

    if that was how you were driving it, i'm not surprised.

    congrats, you've probably just put a load of needless stress and wear on other components.

    Difference between MMIs

    ok, i'm getting confused again. my 2011 A4 has the set-up on the right, but if you're saying that's 2G it seems to conflict w/ all the satnav sites that say 2G only went to 2009? but then again, it's the DVD-based version, not the HDD-in-the-trunk version, which other sites seem to suggest was...

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

    Phil, far be it from me to suggest your garage is stringing you along, but....i find it very odd that they did cylinders and stuff w/out suggesting the big known oil problem, especially since a 2nd cylinder failed so quickly. secondly, "Turn around is 2 days" - well if it is, they're working...

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

    a quick google brought up the AA's site: "If the garage has done extra, unauthorised work, they may remove any unauthorised replacement parts fitted provided the old parts are properly re-installed on your vehicle. If this is no longer practicable, the garage should bear the loss."...

    Caught Audi Main Dealer technician speeding

    probably the stupidest comment i've read on a message board, and given i've been on the internet since about 1998, that show you how retarded your comment is.

    Caught Audi Main Dealer technician speeding

    yes. i don't speed, laws are there for a reason. i don't pay a company to treat my car like she's some race toy, i expect them to treat me and my property w/ respect and courtesy. i want to thrash the car about, i'll go to a race day and do it myself. 82 isn't "slightly" over the limit.

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

    utter shte IMO, my car is an 11-plate Dynamik and failed the oil test so claiming it's a "later engine" is speaking from ignorance or is an outright lie.

    Cam Follower Problems

    Does anyone know if there's a particular issue w/ the cam folower on TFSI engines? a mate's just been asking me about it, i can find virtually nothing on this site except a mention that there seemed to be a bad issue back on pre 2008 engines, and similar on google. just curious, as he's saying...
