    Question about police speed guns

    Was wondering if they record your registration number or not. Today I had one pointed at me. I was doing 40 when i saw him (quite a distance away) then 35 when I was near to him (which would be 32mph in reality taking into account the speedo inaccuracy) I didn't get stopped, although when I...

    M6 Toll Road

    I was wondering, from what I understand, the M6 toll road was built by a consortium of people, and is privately maintained. Therefore that makes it a private road surely. And if that's the case, then does the national speed limit apply, and do the police have any business being on that road if...

    Why is it that......

    My first AVS service came along at 17,500 miles, had that done, all was fine. Now the car has done 20,000 miles and my driving style has not changed at all, but the DIS is saying service in 9800 miles, means it wont have even done 30k before its 2nd service, is this normal ?

    Petrol gauge has a mind of its own

    I was watching my petrol gauge the other day while the car was idling and it was moving up and down between 1/4 and 3/4 of a tank, this has got progressively worse over time, and I'll be taking it to Audi next month when I get my brake fluid service and Haldex oil change done but was just...

    Read something interesting in the service book

    It says you have to change the Haldex oil every 20,000 miles, then says TT & S3 Quattro - no mention of the S4, RS4 or any other quattro car for that matter. Does this mean the TT & S3 are the only cars to use the Haldex, and if thats the case, why ?

    Inaccurate Service Indicator

    Hi All About 5 days ago the DIS started telling me to service the car in 900miles, so I popped down to the dealer and booked it in for the 28th October, I do about 600-700miles per month so I thought I'd be playing it safe by getting it serviced before the counter actually reaches 0. However...

    Excess Oil Usage ??
