    Steering Rack Fault - 1.4 Avant

    Probably more tolerant than I should have been. Back and forth a few times [9 in total I think] between the A4 and TT in the last 12 months, some selective ignorance on my part until I couldn't resist anymore. The dealer was somewhat dismissive at first. The wheel being off centre isn't...

    When will I be offered a new car on PCP?

    The sale of cars on PCP where sales staff almost guarantee positive equity at the end of the term, is prolific. The amount of people I speak to who have bought cars recently from various manufacturers and been incorrectly told this is shocking. People genuinely believe that PCP deals are some...

    Steering Rack Fault - 1.4 Avant

    Just thought I would share some recent experiences of ownership of my 1.4 Avant. Over last couple of months, 13000 miles on the car, I started noticing some knocking noises when parking and manoeuvring at low speed. I then started to notice the steering wheel was no longer 'straight' when...

    VCDS Modifications

    Are you using VCDS or ODBEleven. If you are getting the side assist error, you may have incorrectly activated the below? 17 - Dash Board: Lane Assistant>Active | Byte 4>Bit 6 Lane Change Assistant>Active | Byte 5>Bit 3 - This should only be on if you have Audi Side Assist (blind spot monitor).

    VCDS Modifications

    I have it working on mine. I do have the 7" DIS display but not virtual cockpit. I got errors to begin with but toggling the option off then on resolved.

    Since we are in the A4 section, I'll keep it relevant - here you go :happy:

    Review - 1.4Tfsi S Tronic

    Loving mine and the reality of how quiet and smooth it is dawned on me this week. I had a 2.0 TDi 150ps for two days whilst my TT was in for some work this week. Near on identical car to mine with different engine and I hated it! Yes, it had slightly more get up and go on the motorway, but, it...

    Android Auto and B&O/SatNav - Subwoofer problem

    So one would assume a software glitch then. Pretty pointless taking it in to dealer I would guess until a new software update is released?

    Android Auto and B&O/SatNav - Subwoofer problem

    Thanks - would be interesting to see if it does the same. Only reason I tend to use the Audi SatNav is for using the route guidance on the DIS and then messages/media etc on the central screen.

    Anyone else struggle with sline seats?

    6ft 3", suffer same problem. I find I end up sitting much closer, more upright and higher than I would in any other car I've had.

    Android Auto and B&O/SatNav - Subwoofer problem

    Hi, My car seems to be suffering a strange problem occurring whilst using Android Auto to play media, Google/Spotify and the Audi SatNav system for guidance at the same time. If using the voice command, as soon as the Sat Nav gives a prompt, the subwoofer switches off. Turning off the stereo...

    Audi A4 2017 - Mud flaps worth getting?

    My train of thought also. I bought more for reducing stone chips and being a white car, tar spots than the general wet weather road spray. Heavy material, mud and such does seem to get stopped by them. Slow driving around the town, they do seem to prevent wet daily grime flicking up the side...

    Bilt hamber auto-foam snow foam?

    Curiously, I tested this today. Discharged 25 litres on my Karcher K7 to empty the foam lance. So therefore I should be using 1000ml of product. i.e filling the lance bottle with the product neat and letting it mix with the though water. That makes it rather expensive comparing it to others...

    Audi A4 1.4 TFSI.. interesting read

    I've never reset my long term from new, that's how I know. You should have short term [Start of each trip] / long term [total accumulative] measurements on the DIS/Virtual cockpit.

    Show Us Your Reflection Shots

    Thanks! Its a colour that a camera struggles to capture. I love it and it seems to suit the MK3 so well. However, it is marmite! Agree about how DG looks similar - until this happens.. ;)

    Audi A4 2017 - Mud flaps worth getting?

    Fitted mine myself. Yes, drilling involved and front wheels needed to come off. Took about an hour to do all four. There isn't anything particularly difficult really. Do they make a difference?
