    Bailing out...

    Well that's it. I've sold my A4 Avant to 'We Buy Any Car'. the whole sorry tale is on the A4 B8 section under ESC problems thread. They offered me just....more than main dealers' part-ex prices, I wouldn't have dreamed of selling on privately so even though the 'We Buy' buyer was probably...

    Audi v Garmin

    I apologise in advance for posting a question that may have already been asked or answered but as forums/fora? evolve over the years the info gets a bit confusing. I've got a couple of Garmin GPS units for both my car and my motorbike and I purposely plan routes on the Garmin Basecamp app...

    Q2 Q2 booklet/handbooks folder

    My wife has just picked up a 2018 1.4TFSI Q2. I've just had a look at the folder in the glove box and unlike my A4 and her old A1 where the info was comprehensive, the info in the Q2 folder consists of ; An owners' handbook - and that's all. There's no Warranty book. No Roadside assistance...

    Q2 Q2 spare space saver wheel

    My wife is replacing her A1 with a 2018 Q2 TFSI 1.4 (150) . I'd like to get a spare space saver wheel for it and as a OEM Audi one will be silly money, is there a compatible wheel from other models that I could pick up from ebay perhaps? For instance I got her a compatable spare for her A1 that...

    Steering rack failure

    My daughter's 2008 2.0TFSI (60,000mls) is making a terrible knocking noise over uneven ground. Local garage has diagnosed a faulty steering rack.. An OE replacement was quoted at £1000 plus fitting so I'm looking at trying to source a refurbished/re manufactured replacement if I can. I have...

    A1 gear change problems and more...

    My wife's 2010 A1 1.4 TFSI (50,000mls) has recently started making a crunching noise when changing gear up from 1st to 2nd. Anyone else had this issue? I'm worried that this could be a very expensive problem. :grumpy: The engine also rattles for a couple of seconds when starting up from...

    Coils stuck to spark plugs.

    Yesterday I took my 2013 B8.5 A4 Avant 1.8 (170) TFSI for a service at my local Bosch independent garage. The car has done 48,000mls and had a full service. The plugs are due to be changed at 57,000 according to the book so the garage asked if I wanted them changing now. However, when...

    Service questions.

    My 2013 A4 Avant TFSI 1.8 s line black has done 45,000mls and is telling me that it wants a service. It's got a full Audi history so far but I'm wondering if I should use my local trusted (Bosch) garage from now on? Audi want £338 for a fixed service and £448 for a flexible. That seems a bit...

    Service history online?

    I read here sometime ago that if you log in online to your account at 'My Audi' that you can view your car's service history? I've logged in and added my car to my account but all I can see are tabs to book a service, MOT, buy accessories etc. Am I doing something wrong or is your cars'...

    Fuel cap cover lock

    The fuel cap flap on my 2013 A4 Avant TFSI (B8.5) has started to make a buzzing type of sound when I lock the car. It doesn't seem to make any noise when unlocking but I suspect that the lock/solenoid is on its way out. The only fixing that I can see under the fuel flap is a single 'Torx'...

    key fob/starter problem

    I've got a 2013 A4 Avant TFSI B8.5. 40,000mls. I'm not sure of the correct terminology but it has a key fob that you push into a receptacle on the dash to start the ignition - only sometimes it doesn't. It may take 3 or 4 pushes of the key before anything happens - it's dead. This occurs...

    Autoglym and Collinite 845

    I live in a rural area where my car continually gets covered in mud and cow sh1t so obsessive detailing would be soul destroying. Quick question, will it be sensible to use Autoglym super resin polish and then use Collinite 845 on top? Will the Collinite adhere to the Autoglym or am I...

    Service interval reminder

    Mrs Squirrelly has a 2010 A1 1.4 tfsi sport and the service/oil change reminder has started to flash up every time she starts the car. I've had a quick search on this forum but can't find any previous threads to help. The car was serviced when it was bought in January from a Skoda dealer but...

    SD card or memory stick?

    Hi, I've given up with the idea of bluetooth music from my Android phone to the AMI as it seems a faff to have to buy a Tune2air Bluetooth interface for sixty odd quid. I've bought an AMI to USB lead and tried a little 2G memory stick. It plays fine and shows all the track info on the screen...

    AMI my... eye.....

    Let the buyer beware... I should have done more research before buying but I just assumed that a 2013 A4 Avant S-Line Black Edition with a B&O audio system and telephone Bluetooth prep would let me stream music from my phone but apparently not as it is 'only' AMI and not MMI? (the telephone...
