    Looks like the A4 is due a major facelift next year.. thoughts?

    Do you think the 2020 model is going to be able to compete with the new version if they are moving towards a fully touch screen solution? Touch screens feel like they belong in the VW, with the more luxury brand sticking with gestures/MMI controller. I may be wrong or a little old school, but...

    Looks like the A4 is due a major facelift next year.. thoughts?

    Have you seen the new BMW 3 series? Looks like from a tech POV, they have outshone Audi (baring the Virtual Cockpit - which is still a market leader). Having items like: Gesture control for the touch screen Keeping the iDrive controller Wake up Mode Calm down Mode Auto Reverse Mode (which is...

    Rear Seat Belt Warning

    Or when moving (or while driving) like with the passager seat. At the moment, it doesn’t chime while I’m driving if I have someone in the rear seats.

    Rear Seat Belt Warning

    Hi All Is there a way to activate a chime when the rear passengers don’t have their seatbelts on? I want to get my nieces/nephews into the habit of wearing their seatbelts while in the rear seats. I know there is an icon that comes up on the virtual cockpit, but having no chime means it’s...

    Jerky S4 gearbox

    I had it in Efficiency and start/stop turned off.

    Jerky S4 gearbox

    Thanks @Daggerit, it’s more of a feeling like when your driving a manual and coming in for a stop, and engaging the clutch at the last possible moment. Like a slight shudder as you stop - I hope that makes sense.

    Jerky S4 gearbox

    Yesterday I took the suicidal trip to Heathrow airport, at 17:00, on the M25. It took me 2 hours to get there from East London - something left for a different conversation. While sitting in traffic, it felt like I was never in the correct gear. The car would feel like it’s about to stall...

    Facelift New Car, New Questions, New Stress

    Time for my week end update. Today I managed to get away from work a few hours early. Got home, threw the laptop bag down and went straight to the basement to have a play around with the settings. Could also be the fact that my obdeleven came yesterday. I am sure everyone has had that new car...

    Facelift New Car, New Questions, New Stress

    I guess we could retrofit the folding mirrors but at £750(compared to £250 from factory), it feels like daylight robbery.

    Sorry I have not been very clear. The car comes with the Comfort Pack, so it has all mentioned. I will try and take a picture tonight when I get home to show the hole I am talking about.

    Facelift New Car, New Questions, New Stress

    Thanks for your responses Daggerit. The Auto Handbrake is a pain. It would make sense to engage automatically when you turn the car off - like my Golf used to do. For a company spent on making everything safe, you would think this would be in the top 10 items. Maybe something OBD11 can sort...

    Facelift New Car, New Questions, New Stress

    Hi All Finally, after waiting 3 weeks, I picked up my new car over the weekend. :yahoo: I had a few questions that I hope people could help me with: I tried everything to get the mirror dip to work when reversing, but I am failing dismally. Do I need to have folding mirrors for me to...

    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    Yes I did. The dealer was reluctant to give me back my deposit, and eventually I made him give me a car they had in Stock, at a ridiculous discount. Lets just say that I got the S4 at the price of an S3 (of course with less options than I chose, but enough to keep me happy). What made the deal...

    S4 Rubber Mats

    Hi Guys Do you know where I can get S4 (not A4) rubber mats? There is this online, but it says A4 (https://store.audi.co.uk/front-all-weather-car-mats-for-audi-a4-models-8w2061501041.html). Thanks!

    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    I was in the same boat Tsuchiya. I had to settle for a non-factory ordered S4 which did not have all the options I wanted(Tough times I know). Have you spoken to the dealer about deliveries that they have coming? Normally they order cars for their showroom which they will try either use for...

    Looks amazing! Who are you using for detailing?

    Getting an Order Number

    So December has turned into "We are not sure, it could be January, it could be March. There is no guarantee on a delivery time". This is because there is a global freeze on S3's being built because of the CO2 emission issue - as I was told. Unfortunately I need a car for December as I am...
