    Does this sound like lower control arms?

    My car has started making a creaking noise when pulling away (notice it most in 1st, 2nd and coming off round abouts) It's had a very slight creak over speed bumps for a while but since hitting a f**k off pot hole it's gotten worse. I got a mechanic to check the suspension and he said it had no...

    Stage 1 2.0 TFSI, what next?

    Thanks a lot for these tips! I've recently fitted 18s with Bridgestone potenzas all round and it has made a difference. Strut brace is interesting will definitely add that and look at springs new year. Am I right in thinking exhaust systems are going to cost big for small gain? Cheers

    Stage 1 2.0 TFSI, what next?

    Hi everyone, After a lengthy battle with a dodgy garage and help from section 75 I got my engine rebuilt by a specialist for the dreaded oil consumption issue that plagues this model. I also had a stage 1 map which I think took me to around 260/70. I was considering going a bit further next...

    2.0 TFSI Known Oil Consumption problem - 2015 ongoing thread (2009-2011 models)

    After winning a section75 claim my 2010 A4 is currently getting fixed, along with the rods, pistons and oil pump they said: Hope that sorts it! Btw anyone want to buy a type-r? :D

    2.0 TFSI Known Oil Consumption problem - 2015 ongoing thread (2009-2011 models)

    Glad you've been able to sort this out. My dealer/trader lied about full service history so I've rejected the car (Audi wouldn't go near it as expected) I understand your praise but I think this should have been a recall. They've already settled a class action lawsuit in the states and there is...

    Looks like I've been had off by trader :O(

    I probably will but if audi offer to rebuild the engine for free (however likely that is) I'll definitely pause to consider.

    The place was a focus rs/st specialist but also know the golf32 engine. They think coilovers for current issue and possibly pistons for the oil problem. I'm going into audi this week for the service history and will see if they still help out

    Looks like I've been had off by trader :O(

    That thought did cross my mind and makes sense but there's no way imo this hasn't been an issue in the weeks/months before I bought it and suddenly started the day I had it collected Another thing to contest with the dealer, the advert stated full service history but I can't access anything...

    Looks like I've been had off by trader :O(

    Bought a car that I had delivered on Tuesday and noticed some issues on day 1. Oil light was on which I initially put down to the journey of around 200 miles but on further investigation found all the posts about this engine/year and the oil issues (2010 2.0 TFSI) Then the car would...

    Accessing service history

    Will do mate - I just want to make sure the trade seller wasn't lying!

    Accessing service history

    Yeah seems difficult to sort - hopefully popping in to my nearest Audi should help?

    Accessing service history

    Hi, I've just bought a 2010 TFSI that the trader says has a full service history. I've signed up to myAudi and given them the VIN etc but no history is present. After contacting their digital support dept they said I either need Audi connect or I have to go to my nearest dealer with a V5 and...

    Clutch vs coil pack symptoms?

    haha guess that is an obvious test! How much do you reckon this will cost? I've had the car for a couple of days - has an AA 3 month warranty (whatever that's worth!) Cheers

    Clutch vs coil pack symptoms?

    An A4 I've just purchased has what I originally suspected as a slipping clutch but now I'm not so sure. Sometimes when I change gear then put my foot down the car will judder/stutter and appears to lose power briefly. I thought this was just in lower gears but I was on the carriageway earlier...

    2010 A4 judder

    Did you do this yourself or through AUDI?

    2.0 TFSI Known Oil Consumption problem - 2015 ongoing thread (2009-2011 models)

    Hi Jim, I've just got a 2010 TFSI - do I still have any leverage with AUDI? My trade seller said it has full service history, I'm just trying to get it listed on the audi portal Thanks

    2.0 TFSI Known Oil Consumption problem - 2015 ongoing thread (2009-2011 models)

    Just purchased an A4 2.0 TFSI 2010 - Got a courier to deliver it (approx 200 miles) and noticed the oil warning was on in the MMI. My exhaust tips are a bit black - guess it's going to be well out of warranty, do I have any leverage with AUDI? Thanks

    2010 A4 judder

    Hi everyone, I've just purchased an A4 2010 and noticed sometimes in 1st/2nd there is a judder and slight lag in power. Higher gears are fine. Doing some research I've found posts about the dual fly wheel / clutch having an issue on this model. Has anyone else experienced this? Many thanks
