    LED Number Plate Lights

    AUDI A3 A4 S3 Q7 TT NUMBER PLATE LIGHT LED BULB 239 C5W | eBay Do the job fine with no errors. Just make sure you clip them in right before pushing the unit back in. I didn't and one popped out and into the boot space. The rattle is driving me mad. If they dont light up at first, just swap the...

    Must have options on a new A4?

    Our fleet manager tried to push me to get a technik as some of my options came with it. Leather, AMI, Satnav, but it just didn't have the same prowess as the Sline for me. And Xenons, you interact with them every time you drive in the dark. I'm still amazed that they light up the road as well as...

    change from a3 to a4

    I purchased my old A4 Sline company car in Sept 10 on 143k, it was an 06 plate. £4500. Not bad for a car that cost over 25k on the P11D. Full Audi service history. So I should get plenty of years use out of it now. The benefit of buying an ex company car is that all jobs that need doing are done...

    Views on tinting windows??

    Just had mine done on a phantom black car. Looks fantastic. Darkest legal tint possible. Can see fine looking out, cars behind can't see who's at the wheel. £85.00 for the rear window and rear qtr windows only. Could have had the sides done but had FF blinds in the doors so left them off. That...

    B7 to B8

    Understand why you feel the way you do now. I did get the 30mm drop, not 20, and like the handling, this was despite the stealers advising me strongly against it. The toys are more important for me than the handling as I virtually live in it, 1500 miles last week and only cover mostly motorway...

    B7 to B8

    I had the 140, on the B7, 56 plate and moved to the 143 on the B8. Car and road tax dropped dramatically as the old B7 was filthy by the taxman's CO2 calculator. I also had some issues with the chrome inserts bubbling from underneath on the B7 with no visible cracks to speak of. Did scrub up...

    B7 to B8

    Went from a B7 Sline 2.0TDI to a B8 Sline 2.0TDI - Worlds apart. Ride, cabin, style and gadgets are all far superior IMHO.

    Urgent advice needed due to Audi mistake on new BE

    Just returned from a week in Paris with a fully laden boot and back seats packed with the 30mm drop. No issues whatsoever, just take it slow over any speed bumps. The conti auto headlights and KPH settings are a fab addition.

    PAYE Tax underpayment

    Had a tax code of K354 for all of last year due to them not having received my P11D when I went from a Vectra to an A4. Had the B7 Sline and the emissions were far too high! Having recently changed to the new B8 Sline my new code is now K121 for April 11. Scared to ask them to look for a...

    A4 Dunlop tyres

    My fault really. Should have learned my lesson at Halfords. Went in for a Satnav I'd liked the look of for Xmas. £30.00 more instore. Guy told me to go outside and order it on my B.B and come back in an hour to collect it. Kept my trusty old Tom Tom, and they lost a sale.

    A4 Dunlop tyres

    Agree - Won't be using them again! Website throws out a price for the more tyres you buy, the cheaper it is. Didn't read the small print and they have to be booked in advance through the site. Phoned that morning after looking at the site, told to come in for 14:00hrs and was given nil discount...

    A4 Dunlop tyres

    No real issues with them apart from the £754.00 Kwik Fit stung me for three new ones! The originals had covered nearly 20k though.

    S Line Suspension or Standard Sport Suspension on Avant Black Edition - Confusion?

    The B&O really comes into its own on certain tracks. If using the AMI, ensure your ipod is playing 256kbps to get the best CD clarity. Itunes will shrink them to as low as 64 to fit more tracks on the ipod. The best part of the Sline is defo the Xenon's when night driving.

    S Line Suspension or Standard Sport Suspension on Avant Black Edition - Confusion?

    I found the steering not to be as light as the B7 when cornering or turning at any given speeds. It feels like the B8 is much heavier at slower speeds and opens up as your foot does. Not a bad thing as the B7 didn't allow for any errors. As stated above the 7 was a true boneshaker, my wife hated...

    S Line Suspension or Standard Sport Suspension on Avant Black Edition - Confusion?

    I had the B7 Sline which was harsh and expected the same again but the B8 with the 30mm drop is superb. The dealer was strongly against it when I'd ordered. Covered 19k since Sept and can't complain at all.

    Stop Start Auto Start Up

    Still trying to work mine out. Noticed it hadn't cut out for a few weeks despite normal driving conditions, when it had previously kicked in. Looked to see what had changed since and it was the driver fan blower speed had been set at 11 from 6. Turned it back to 6 and the car now stops...

    B7 to B8 how do they compare?

    Hope this is correct! The 2nd computer is saying 44.1mpg based on 3773 miles covered. Not the most economical driver though.

    B7 to B8 how do they compare?

    Had the same choice myself. A 318 business edition sport or the Sline. Having had a B7 Sline I decided to stick with the four rings and I'm glad I did. o.k, no sat nav but two of my mates ordered the 318 sport 140ps and it doesn't come close to the looks of the B8 parked next to them. I have...
