    Start/stop operation (coding?)

    With S/S turned off I have no problems - it seems to be the early activation of S/S (while the car is still in motion) that is tripping me up...

    Start/stop operation (coding?)

    And to clarify, I meant HA/Hold Assist above. HA - Hold Assist - The hold assist helps the driver to move off forwards if the vehicle is stationary for any period or stopped frequently, for instance at traffic lights, on steep gradients or in stop-and-go traffic. HHA - Hill Hold Assist - The...

    Start/stop operation (coding?)

    I initially ran into problems with the car rolling backwards slightly in traffic and blamed these on the operation of the hill-hold assist option. However, on further investigation, I believe the start/stop system is to blame. Unusually, compared to other cares I have owned. the s/s system will...

    Short term review of my A4 1.4TFSI

    Brilliant review and agree on most points. My 1.4 has surpassed expectations on most fronts - fuel economy is the main let-down for me. My average over the first 900 miles is barely pushing ahead of 30 (which, coming from a small modern diesel is a bit of a shock). But in the interests of...

    Scratches in the clear-coat...

    Curious how everyone's paint is holding up. I've had my A4 3 weeks now and it seems to attract scratches like there's no tomorrow. Pretty sure the dark grey colour is not helping things but its pretty devastating to find them! 2-inch scratch just under the headlight, no idea how but has...

    Which fuel? Supermarket or not?

    Costco RON99 for my 1.4 TFSI until I get bored of stopping to Costco for fuel. It basically costs same as RON95 everyday fuel from my local supermarket and about 12p a litre cheaper than the RON99 offering from the Shell across the road from me. The cost difference was about 2p cheaper than...

    Scratched aluminium interior trim - help!

    You have no idea the emotional rollercoaster this trim has been - from absolute delight on Saturday when I realised it was real aluminium and not painted plastic to sheer devastation when I discovered the scratch. Perhaps a little exaggeration there but you get the idea! On seeing the scratch...

    About to order 1.4 TFSI Avant Black Edition

    Agreed - getting low 30's at the moment, bit of a shock coming from a diesel that would give me 55+ without really trying...

    A4 S-Line 190 TDI Ultra

    I have the manual seats on the basis that I'm the only driver and I'm average height so don't slight the seat back to get out of the car. Seat adjustment is pretty good - you get back rest - recline angle seat height - up / down seat position - forward/back seat bottom angle - up / down seat...

    Scratched aluminium interior trim - help!

    Thanks for the comments - seems this trim picks up scratches very easily. I've put on some 3M All Weather tape for the time being while I get some PPF, a sharp knife and some courage!

    Could not be happier with Manhattan Grey - was such a hard decision between Midnight Blue and Daytona Grey. Manhattan has a lot of depth to it, I think it looks slightly blue on a bright day and almost black on an overcast one. And from behind: Next up, some photos of the rotor grey...

    Scratched aluminium interior trim - help!

    I've had the car for three days now and I've noticed this scratch on the brushed aluminium trim. I've covered around 300 miles with the other half in the passenger seat - we're not 100% sure how this has come about. How are you finding this trim, is it prone to picking up scratches? Don't...

    Audi Connect

    So I called MBUK customer service this morning and they are aware of an issue related to the mTAN system. They are collecting examples to forward on to the German team responsible for the service. I've emailed over a screenshot. The guy on the money was helpful but told me not to expect a...

    Audi Connect

    The same issue - tried a number of attempted using my phone number and work email address. I get the code but the website rejects it. I'm collecting the car later today and was trying to get ahead of the game so I've not entered my PIN into the car yet - wonder if that is the problem and the...
