    Ceramic Coating for my new A4 - Any recommendations

    I had my Daytona Grey 67-plate done within a week or so of picking it up. Thoroughly recommend Russ @ Midlands Car Care in Walsall. I got a "New Car Detail", exterior prepped & coated with Gyeon Mohs+, wheels, glass, and interior all coated too. Cost me £350.

    Audi A4 Avant TFSI 1.4 2017 Sport fuel economy!

    I'm averaging about 36mpg, mix of motorway & A road commuting, local trips, longer motorway journeys. Back to a diesel next time i think, or a 2.0+.

    Carista App

    Here you go... Lots of good stuff, I've enabled rear lights with DRLs, G-meter (not yet tested), beep on lock (didn't work as single beep), DRLs via infotainment (not sure where though).

    Audi S4 missing from Audi.co.uk & Configurator

    Yep, all the ones which got through before the new regs have sold out.

    Ceramic coatings

    Not Duraflex, but MOHS+ (applied professionally 12 months ago). As it's the first time I've had a car coated, I can't really compare it to anything else, but in itself it's fantastic. First few months (over winter), it really helped with the cleaning process, most of the dirt just came off with...

    Poor MPG 1.4 auto Avant

    I've got the same (1.4 S-Tronic), but saloon, so a little lighter. I average about 42mpg over a full tank. Auto seems to give better economy than Comfort, but I've even found that Dynamic gives better mpg than Auto (as fair comparisons as I can do, e.g. full tank in each mode, usual commuting...

    Tried my First Launch control today

    If it's the same as my 1.4TFSI - Dynamic Mode, Sport Box, disable TCS (hold for 5 secs). Left foot hard on the brake, right foot on the accelerator. Should hold revs @ 3-4k, release brake, off you go.

    New A4 Order - Dying of Excitement

    I also got a DTUK tuning box for mine, takes the 1.4 from 150PS to 180PS / 250NM to 310NM... more than enough. :) On the downside, I've almost gone through a pair of front Contis in 8,000 miles!

    New A4 Order - Dying of Excitement

    Very similar spec to mine, same choice of interior. With the Quantum Grey I'd say a proper ceramic coating is definitely worthwhile to keep the swirl marks at bay. I got mine done within a couple of weeks of ownership, Gyeon MOHS+ on the bodywork (plus treatments for the wheels & interior). A...

    Short term review of my A4 1.4TFSI

    Nope. Won't leave a trace, and I'll remove it before each service.

    Short term review of my A4 1.4TFSI

    I downloaded speed camera locations last night, loaded them into myaudi.com, and did an update in the car this morning - all working fine. As for MPG, I'm averaging 37, primarily a 35-mile motorway & A-road commute each day, plus general day-to-day stuff. But, mine is chipped (DTUK FSR+, about...

    1.4 tfsi Tdi-tuning or Dtuk?

    I've had a DTUK box on mine for the last 1000 miles, no issues so far. Only 'issue' was finding somewhere to mount it, used some automotive velcro and attached it to the brake distributor (only flat surface I could find).

    VC Data Usage

    My bugbear with the whole in-car wifi is that you either use the embedded SIM for Google Earth, Audi Connect, etc. and buy a data package for the WiFi, or you get your own SIM, which is then used for everything. Why can't it do both, i.e. embedded for the car functions, and own SIM for Wifi?!

    1.4 tfsi Tdi-tuning or Dtuk?

    I've got a DTUK box on my 1.4TFSI. My existing insurer applied a 20% uplift to my premium to cover the box. I find programs 1 and 3 are the best, still trying various increments within each program. DTUK have just upgraded their tuning boxes, faster processors, and optional bluetooth module...

    VC Data Usage

    There's a data usage page somewhere in the MMI.

    SQ5 So the wait begins...again!

    I picked my A4 up on 28th and just paid for an extra few days tax.

    Carista App

    I'm lucky enough to have bought mine before the subscription model was introduced. Used it a lot on my B8.5, plenty of customisations. B9, well, like has already been said, not many at the moment (Needle Sweep, Lap Timer). Not many more in the beta version either currently. I find it easier just...
