    brake servo restricted

    Just to re draw everyones attention to this as it is a potentially costly fault. It seems from searching around various forums this is now a fairly common problem. It manifests itself as a "Brake servo restricted" warning together with a start/stop fault. Unhelpfully it suggests that you can...

    Fixed vs Flexible servicing

    Hi all My 17 plate A4 is, incorrectly, on the flexible service plan. I do under 10,000 miles a year and at the moment the flexible service plan has me getting my car serviced twice a year. An oil change due in winter and an “inspection” service in summer. None of the cars I have ever owned...

    Unable to get Apple Carplay working in iOS 12

    CarPlay is one of the best things about my A4. Podcast, Spotify and now google maps! The audi mapping isn’t as good as google maps and I find the system plans the most bizzare routes sometimes. There’s a huge A road leading 90% of the way to your destination, but audi will plan your route via...

    A4 B9 LED Bulbs for Standard Housing?

    I’m surprised the difference is that much to be honest. When I bought mine, I ended up buying new because there were virtually no petrol Avant A4’s on the used market. Even a few years back Diesel wasn’t tainted in the way it is now, and before that happened, diesel was the logical choice. So...

    Still no pre sense activation

    Funny I was about to post on this very subject! My pre sense is set to the lowest level.. but today I got the full on emergency brake application because the car had spotted pedestrians ahead on a bend. It’s not smart enough to know it’s a bend and I’m planning on following the road rather...

    Non Virtual Cockpit

    I think the difference is as follows. The tech pack did not always include the VC as standard. These days it does - if you spec the tech pack you get the VC included. In the past you could have the tech pack without the VC and you see this in many of the approved used B9's on the Audi website...

    Gtechniq & Scratch removal

    Thanks for the advice. Will try some of the product you suggest. As a side note, I washed the car this morning and I must admit, I'm not thoroughly convinced about the treatment my car had. It was several hundred pounds, it is supposed to last 5 years, but there are multiple fine scratch marks...

    Gtechniq & Scratch removal

    Hi All Just hoping for a bit of advice to get rid of some unsightly scratches. My B9 A4 Avant is 1 year old. Just after delivery it went in for a detail and had Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light / EXO top coat applied. This was all advice I had from a friend as I haven't a clue about such things...

    Facelift Facelift B9

    Take the finance (and the dealer deposit contribution) then clear it with a loan at 3% APR. Done it a couple of times on used cars. Back to the subject of the facelift. I do think this makes the sport trim much more attractive now. If you option the LED lights you have essentially got the...

    Ripping out the UTR? Can’t quite believe that but a useful heads up for anyone considering a dash cam. Anyone else come across this issue? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Non Virtual Cockpit

    To get audi connect extended just go online and speak to audi on the live chat facility on their website. They just asked me for my car registration number and extended it there and then, for free, for another 12 months. As for the DIS. I think those people who managed to get the map displayed...

    Non Virtual Cockpit

    Must say I agree with the above posts regarding the non VC displays. Map on the main display and turns on the centre DIS seems to work well. The bigger problem with not having the tech pack, for me anyway, is not getting map updates free of charge. I’m not paying Audi hundreds of pounds for a...

    Change of heart........

    Was thinking the same about the state of the roads recently. It’s absolutely awful around where we are. You can, of course, mitigate against this in the A4 by avoiding large wheels and lowered suspension, although I appreciate for some that will mean a compromise on looks. I agonised over...

    What did you & your B9 do today?

    How often do people wash their cars, especially in the winter? I had great intentions when I bought the car but I just can’t find the time in the day with young kids and work. Hoovered the boot out yesterday though! (And went to Tesco) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Auto Lights

    Sorry to drag this back to the top. Managed to fix my exterior lighting woes (sensor related problem) but you whack one mole and another springs up.. I’ve trawled the A4 manual but I can’t see an answer - is there a separate lighting sensor for the interior background lights or does one...

    Dynamic led indicators

    While I agree the LEDs are very smart, I’m not sure the SE/Sport lights are THAT bad. But then I would say that [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Auto Lights

    Tried this am, looks like the lights are just permanently on. Even with the sun shining right on the car. Any other idea or is it back to the dealer? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Auto Lights

    Thanks all. It’s obviously too late to try anything tonight but I’ll see if it makes a difference in the morning. I have noticed a lot of Audi’s with headlights on in broad daylight over the last week ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
