Just picked up a 2011 3.0TDI Quattro Avant and could not be more pleased to be back in a proper car. I had a B6 QS Avant (ake) and took it up to 210k miles. Best £ for £ car I’ve ever owned. I’m a fastidious owner and there were a few issues looming that meant it was uneconomical to maintain...

First up. Happy New Year everyone. Now I know this might seem really trivial but 2 door handles on my avant have started sticking up / not closing on their own. It's so annoying. I've sprayed some WD40 into them but it's made no difference. Any ideas or similar experiences and how did you...

So my 2.5TDI Quattro Sport Avant is now on 190k and I didn't have a chance to look over it before the MOT this week. I just dropped it off and hoped, which is exactly what I've done for the last two years, and yet again it's passed! Now I know that posting this probably means that it'll go BANG...

I'd really appreciate any experiences of high mileage S4's? High mileage being 120k plus and what have your experiences been in terms of faults and costs of repairs? I currently own a 2.5tdi Quattro and I'm aware of the common faults of the B6 (glovebox / plenum drains / wing rust etc) so I'm...

I got the four beeps warning when I started the car this morning, I have started the car a few times since without any beeps. Searching on this fantastic forum it sounds like the alarm siren battery backup is the issue. I've seen a few posts in the A3 forum suggesting a new unit from Audi is...

Now I know we should take DIS results with a pinch of salt but I was amazed to see 605 miles range from my V6! I filled up with VPower as usual, the car was already warmed up, I then drove 64 motorway miles at between 55-65 due to traffic. Anyone ever had more than this?

I'm having a rocker cover gasket replaced next week (AKE engine). Question is......is there any other preventative maintenance I can have done at the same time? I'm getting my local Indy to do it but wondered if you guys knew of anything else I could get done whilst he's in there and got the...

I’ve got a 2.5tdi 180bhp. It’s running really well, it loses no oil and is averaging 37.5mpg with FSH which will be maintained. I intend keeping this car for at least another 2 years and do around 15-18K per year. Mileage is approaching 180K but the car seems fine. The clutch is new (15k...

I've noticed the usual bubble on my OSF wing. Has anyone had any experience of pre-painted wings like the one in the link? AUDI A4 FRONT WING 2001-2005 BRAND NEW PAINTED TO ANY STANDARD AUDI COLOUR | eBayWould welcome your thoughts? Any fitting problems etc? I know they wont be genuine quality...

I've seen one on here recently but can I find it again......Can I flip! Been searching for over an hour now. If anyone has a template or a link to the right thread I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

I’m getting quite a bit of white smoke when starting the car after it's been left overnight and I’d REALLY appreciate a few pointers from those more knowledgeable than me or anyone that's had the same problems. The smoke is white with a blue tinge and only last for around 10-15 seconds...

Maybe some forum members have had this same problem and I'm wondering how you tackled it? Over the past few days my car has been juddering on setting off like the clutch is dying. After about 5 minutes, once the car warms up a bit it's fine. I did some quick web-fiddling and it seems to be a...

Any advice appreciated. Last week my fans briefly started blowing hot air at me regardless of the temperature setting. It only happened once so I'm hoping its not the start of something expensive. Anyway, I took the glovebox off this morning and located the relevant motors, loosened them off...

Had car serviced last week and a fault code below was thrown up but also shows as:- "08-10 Control Limit Surpassed - Intermittent" I've only noticed a lack of power twice when I was flooring it up a slight hill with the last being around 3500 miles ago. Since then the car has been driving...

I've recently noticed a brief ticking sound when I turn the key to 1st ignition stage (before the engine fires). It's almost like a faint ratcheting sound, it lasts for 4-6 ticks and seems to be coming from the fuel pump area under the rear seats (mines a quattro). There's no other symptoms, car...

Anyone got any pointers on how difficult it is to replace a whole door? I can't seem to find a guide anywhere. My drivers door has been damaged for a while and I was going to live with it but it gets to me every single time I look at the car. I'm not confident I could get the alignment right...

I bought my B6 in February and my insurance renewal is now due. My Current insurer (LV) quoted £963 and the cheapest quote using comparison sites was £635. I know there are a few insurers that don't list on comparison sites but I tried them all and they were all over £1000. I looked at Admirals...

Really hoping this isn't going to empty my overdraft! I've dropped the car off with a local indi and I'm really not looking forward to getting the scan/diagnosis results tomorrow morning but I thought I'd ask the helpful souls on here for any advice or similar experiences. The problem = Very...
