    Aircon cold only

    2017 a4 avant 2.0 TFSI The drivers side aircon is blowing cold air only regardless of the temperature setting. Noticed because my feet were getting colder and colder this morning so switched it to the main dash vents to check. The central passenger vent blowing hot air, the drivers vent...

    Aftermarket suspension options

    2017 a4 avant s-line 2.0 TFSI auto. Running on 245/40 18s. Front tyres are no-brand "churchill" fitted by dealer when I bought it, rears are pilot sport 4 which look due for replacing soon. Really like the car, but find the suspension harsh and crashy, there's a few particularly bad sections...

    Display speed in driver assist

    Hopefully an rtfm.. Just picked up a 2017 A4 avant sline without virtual cockpit. My older A6 displayed current speed on the screen between rev/speedo, I've got used to not looking at the speedo itself. I've toggled through the tabs with mode steering wheel button, scrolled using left...

    Random alarms. VCDS info

    A6 Avant Le Mans 2010 Suffering from random alarms always inconveniently in the early hours of the morning. I borrowed VCDS from a friend and had a look. No alarm related fault codes, so it's a proper trigger. A list of alarm triggers shows 9. Intelligent siren. Maybe paranoid siren would...

    Auto wipers/lights failure

    Audi A6 Avant 2010 LeMans. Dash fault "auto lights/wipers defective". Started as intermittent. Now more regular although it does disappear sometimes and the auto lights/wipers work as expected. Whilst the fault is present I also get a "Wipers defective" error and the manual wipers fail to...

    A4 avant 2003 remote central locking

    Hi. I've read other posts and even had this problem before, but still haven't solved it. My remote central locking fob is failing to lock/unlock. If I put the key in ignition, turn one click and press the buttons it re-syncs and works for a short variable amount of time (hours or days) then...

    Replaced wiper linkage, now water in drivers footwell

    I've just had the wiper linkage replaced at a small independent garage. When driving home tonight after the car had been parked up all day in the rain I took a sharp left junction and felt water hit my accelerator foot as it came into the drivers footwell. What could they have put back...

    Intermittent remote central locking

    2003 A4 Avant TDi I have an intermittent issue with the remote central locking. Every now and then it just fails to work. Sometimes putting the key in the ignition fixes it straight away. Sometimes it can take a few goes (I usually just ignore it, use the car as normal locking the doors...

    Whine - pitch is roadspeed related.

    I have an MY03 A4 Avant 1.9 TDi 130. Manual transmission. I've noticed a whine from the front. The pitch of the whine is definately road-speed related, not engine speed. It becomes noticable at a low pitch at around 30 and increases in pitch as the roadspeed increases. At 80-90mph (on private...

    Avant tyres

    A4 Avant 2003 1.9 130 SE. Standard alloys Front 2 tyres need replacing and back 2 are not that far off. There's a right mix and match of different tyres on at the moment so I thought I may as well get a full set. Nothing too fancy £130-ish each will do. Looking for decent wet road grip as...

    Rear indicator bulb

    To go neatly with the recent front indicator bulb post ... Rear drivers side indicator bulb has just gone on my MY03 A4 Avant. I'm assuming the light cluster has to come out and that the release screw is covered with the circle of plastic just inside the boot lid lip - is this correct, is...

    Have I got BOSE ?

    Just picked up a MY03 A4 Avant TDi 130 today. It has a single DIN Concert fitted. I checked in the back and there's a silver box in the side panel in the boot. I'm after fitting something like an Alpine CDE-104BT or JVC KD-R801 head unit as I'm used to having MP3's on USB memory stick in my...
