Giving my 2017 Allroad a wash and coat of Collinite and I was cleaning the exhaust tail pipes and noticed the rear coil spring rubber seats are corroding on both sides. These are well documented on B8 platform, but I see B9 is plagued too. The aluminium insert in the rubber bush corrodes and...

I know this has been covered a number of times. My B9 Allroad has tinted rear windows from factory and the rear window is less practical than the B8, I’m seriously considering retrofitting a camera. There’s also a factory fitted towbar. I dropped by the main dealer on Saturday, so the main...

Anyone done this with VCDS please. I’ve currently got rear tail lights switched on with front DLRs on my B8 on startup, but I’d like to do the same with my B9. There’s a few codes out there, but most for US cars. I have VCDS. Anyone recognise this please? Enable Rear DRLs: [09-Central Elec] >...

Thought I'd share this. This is on Dave Sterl's channel and relates to an intermittent but apparently common fault for the sensor on the brake servo. In dash message says you can drive on. Trouble is on B9 cars from 2015 - the combined Bosch ABS/EPS 9 system takes over with boost pressure and...

12 plate 2.0TDI Allroad with 67k miles. Just passed MOT, but has advisory for suspension arm pin or bush but not resulting in excessive movement. That's on N/S and O/S front lower arms. I do tow with this car, and its no lightweight, and guess its 10 years old now too. I thought suspension was...

If you’ve not come across Dave Sterl on YouTube you’re missing out. He’s old school, do it by the book, complete with the right tools, and a few invaluable tips along the way. This is probably the most comprehensive set of videos I’ve come across for upper and lower suspension renewal on B8 and...

I fitted new Zimmerman discs and pads earlier in the year on my Allroad, 12-plate, 60k miles. I thought I'd been pretty thorough as I wire brush the carriers, grease the slide pins, etc. Fast forward to October, damper days, the fact the car isn't doing a lot of miles as I'm working from home...

Car (B8 A4 Allroad) was in for a air-conditioning recharge at the main dealer today. For £100 I think that's not too bad. They did their usual health check and came back with the rear coil spring seats needing replaced. As far as I can see from the Audicam video its the rubber seats that have...

I haven't treated the leather/alcantara seats in my 2012 Ibis White A4 Allroad since I bought it 4 years ago. Interior is mint, this is 60k mile car, vacuumed weekly. Only thing the seats have had is a wipe over with a damp cloth. Looks like they could use a feed. Looking for recommendations...

Apologies, but this is a bit of a rant. Audi Allroad 2.0 TDI (177ps). I was reversing out of the drive last Saturday and the car made a loud bang. I knew immediately it was a coil spring. I've owned Audis for years, but didn't expect it to be the front suspension. So offside front spring had...

Taken from one of my Facebook Audi Forums. I don't know the person, but they've just had three cars all stolen from the same address last night in Darlington. Pretty distinctive cars including B5 RS4, 2016 RS3 and a VW van. Just in case they crop up for sale in your neck of the woods. Admin...

Driving over the last few days in my B8 Allroad (177PS), noticed that the car takes forever to come up to temperature. Granted it's cold, but wonder if it's coolant temperature sensor? I scanned car a week or so ago after a full service and nothing on VCDS to indicate a fault. Audi main dealer...

On route to pick up my daughter from work and my trusty V6 seemed to go give up the ghost on a slight incline when I floored it. This has happened a couple of times before when hauling a trailer. Is it going into limp mode? Thing is, on the run back the turbo kicks in and she whistles as the...

Surprise... they're all in bleed'n Portugal.:meeting: I'm currently enjoying some sun before I batten down the hatches for another obligatory 'cold as brass monkeys' winter back in Blighty! So about the B5s, there are simply loads of them, all with rust-free front arches, however the sun seems...

The car alarm on my B5 quattro has been going off the last couple of weeks so I disconnected it to avoid a showdown with my neighbours. I know there's a fix on the alarm siren as the internal batteries fail, which I completed yesterday. I used this guide...

Don't even know where to start... :wtf: Audi A4 1.9 TDI 130 Quattro SE 5dr

Recently when going over an uneven road surface I can feel an offside front rattle. It's nothing major, but you know what it's like. Better dealt with now, than leaving it to get worse. I renewed the upper control arms and lower arms, ARB C link and ARB front and rear bushes in Autumn 2011 at...

Coming up for 150k on my 2001 A4 2.5 TDI quattro sport avant (AKN engine). Since Easter there had been a rumble noise from the rear that increases with speed. So far I've replaced the rear wheel bearing (passenger side), checked rear diff fluid level which is fine, fitted two new rear tyres, and...

I'm at a loss with my car just now. Have already had rear bearing changed, two new tyres fitted and noise still persists. Started as a 'hum' at 40mph which I reckoned was a rear wheel bearing. Before going on holiday I got the rear N/S bearing changed. £240 While on holiday it started to make...
