I'm not hypermiling but driving a lot more sensibly, my fuel gauge says 550 miles or so and I get about 350.

My fuel economy is terrible but sadly my car does read 90C without fail so no easy savings there XD

Hi all, Hoping someone has experienced this before with this particular model and that it's just something it does! I had my car in the garage as I was getting fed up with this particular symptom. My car seems to do a little shimmy at certain high speeds, 75 - 85 average never under or above...

Very, very reluctantly I've decided to sell my car as I'm starting to think future... ebay listing here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A4-Avant-S-Line-B8-2-0L-TFSi-211ps-208hp-2009-98-000/112813424232?hash=item1a44343e68:g:rN4AAOSwXkNagvP5

I've been thinking like crazy on this and it seems keep looking is the best advice. I found a 2010 at 40k but just out my budget. Logically though, I've decided to wait until that one is within my budget so I'm not getting one on its last legs. I'll be using it as a daily so I'll be revisiting...

From what I know the S-Tronic is an auto right? Although tax is horrendous on the manual, that is the one I want. I test drove a V6T yesterday and it wasn't great as an example. 09, sunroof wouldn't close, boot wouldn't open and when I floored it at one point the exhausts created a massive...

Hi guys, I've owned my A4 for about 18 months now and I LOVE it. Having seen the recent prices of an S4 B8, they're falling into my bracket and there's one at £12,700 that I'm test driving tomorrow. Same year and rough milage as mine so as long as the engine feels fine it should hopefully be...

Hope someone can help! With the time d year I've started using window vents to defrost and demist. The front one has a flapping sound infront of the steering wheel. It's only when I clear the front window so I know where it is, but how do I access it? I'm assuming it's a simple leaf or receipt...

So I recently came to notice a lot of threads about leaky boot lids on a B8. Just like all parts on my year of car, there was a recall. My boot fell foul last year but dried up so I thought it fine until it happened again recently. I checked the upper brake light, sealed it and put it back...

I'm affected by the 2.0L issue. I got my car checked and Audi said I had a couple of leaks that would make the test inaccurate, meaning I'd be spending £1,700 to get that fixed to get the test done that might "fail". Not a 100% FSH and oil put in last time was 10W40 for a long trip, so I just...

Update on my RaceChip. I've had it for some time now and it is highly recommendable. The reason I went for it is that it isn't permanent, so I can just remove it for whatever reason necessary. Overall my turbo is a lot cleaner in performace, torque is through the roof and my milage is so much...

I was looking at £1,700 for the work but my local garage said don't bother, it's not an issue it's just something to keep on top of. "If it isn't on your drive, don't bother".

I had bad luck in my case, wasn't able to have the test done on my car. Unfortunately, I have a couple oil leaks (which I kinda knew about but thought they were just drippage from poor top up) so this would apparently give a false reading, which I suppose makes sense. Took it to my local...

I always park as close to the local supermarket as possible. I've had the displeasure of a massive dent in my door and both my midluxury cars keyed, if it's going to happen i don't think where you park matters. Some people are just scum and don't care, no thought for others and it drives me...

I hate you all! This year is the first year I've paid less than £1,000. Prior to that I was paying around £1,500-£2,000. Peugeot 508 was around £1,850. Peugeot 107 in my first year driving was £1,600. Being young is great... :blownose:

No worries, is the car manual or auto? That reverse problem sounds odd and if it's Auto I'd definitely get it checked. If manual could be the clutch isn't fully depressed, I sometimes find this when I select gear 1 as I do so "loosely" which causes it to sit in the gear but not actually...

Not so sure about the others but might just need your Air Con servicing (recommended every 2 years) and the second key a simple battery change.

Yeah, sorry I live in an area where "driving" is actually "stopping". I'm one to keep queues to a minimum and don't really leave much space but my car and I'm sure yours too has that autolocking feature for the outside so I trust that's enough to give me space to escape

Do you mean in case someone tries to steal your car while you're driving it?! I do NOT like the thought of that.

If you're not confident in letting the ECU get taken out as I was, there is a solution. I purchased a RaceChip for £229 for mine and past a slight hiccup with poor connection (solved with a knife and some chopping of plastic tabs) it really does clean up the tune of your car. Plus, if you go...
