    Jerking when accelerating and decelerating

    Hi folks! I've noticed lately that my A4 140TDi is jerking when I lift off (decelerate) and then accelerate in 1st and 2nd gear. I have to admit that I've not had it serviced in a while, so it's it likely that a good service would fix it, or are there other potential causes? It drives fine...

    Rusty wings!

    Hi all! There are probably a million threads on this very subject (I did try searching) but I'm looking for a definitive 'yay' or 'nay' on a question. Both of the front wings on my B7 A4 S-Line are starting to rust through, so I'm looking to get 'em replaced. I've seen those...

    Brake woes and headaches

    Hey guys, I don't really post in here all that often as my mechanic is pretty good at solving all of the issues (which are few and far between) that I have with my A4 B7, but as you might have guessed, I'm having a niggling problem that just keeps returning and is starting to drive me around...

    Aftermarket head unit woes in my A4 B7

    Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can give me some help or even point me in the right direction as I'm just about tearing my hair out with this. My old Symphony II head unit went haywire a month ago so I looked into getting a replacement HU and found some nice looking aftermarket ones from Xtrons...

    Strange blowing noise

    Hi all, I've not been on here much at all recently as my 2006 A4 S-Line Tdi (140) has behaved impeccably for 2 year's now without a single problem. For the past few days now however, I've noticed that it has developed a really strange noise. In 6th gear, at between 1500-1700rpm i can hear...

    Supermarket oil

    With the pennies being a bit tight at the moment, I was looking for a good deal on oil for my TDi 140 and whilst strolling through Tesco's (as you do), I noticed that they're selling 2 Litres of full synth oil for a tenner. It says on the bottle that it's good for Audi/Volkswagen diesel engines...

    Which bike rack?

    Hey guys, I'm about to purchase myself a shiny new lung-bursting 2-wheeled torture contraption (mountain bike) and, along with that, I need a means of transporting it to and from the gnarly trails. Dudes. I've been looking at a few different racks and roof-mounted cycle carriers, but thought...

    A day's hard work! (Pic heavy!)

    Since I've not posted any pics on here of my beloved A4 S-Line, I think it's about time that I did just that! I spent a good few hours this afternoon cleaning, polishing and waxing, and here are the results: I'm pretty happy that the hard work shows in these photos! My A4 is pretty...

    Annoying rattle!

    Hey guys, My A4 has developed an annoying rattle/noise in the interior, but I can't for the life of me figure out what's causing it, so I'm hoping that someone else has experienced it before. The rattle in question seems to happen when the weather is cold/frosty and it would appear to be...

    Effects of a clogged EGR

    Hey guys, I've had my A4 140Tdi for about 3 months now and it's running great, however I'm beginning to think that it's drinking a bit too much fuel, seems incredibly smoky when I floor it and I've had to top up the oil level twice now. Are these symptoms all linked with a dirty EGR? The...

    Window scratch removal.

    Hey guys, Quick question; is there a way to completely remove/buff-out window scratches? The one's I've got aren't too deep but as the dark night draw in they catch the headlights and become irritating!

    Which oil..?

    I was thinking of buying some oil for my TDi 140, but I notice on Quantum Oil Range - Synta, Longlife, Platinum that there are two types of oil; one for normal/regular servicing and one for longlife servicing, so I'm not sure which one I should get. My A4 has only been serviced once in its life...

    How much oil does your Tdi 140 use?

    I got a little bit of a shock yesterday when the 'Oil Low' light on my 2-week old (to me) car lit up. I popped it into the dealership I got it from and they were only too happy to top it up, but I have to say that it does worry me slightly as I never once had to put any oil into my last diesel...

    Filling in a gash on trim

    I just discovered a pretty deep dash on the passenger-side skirt of my A4 the other day while giving it the inaugral wash. It's probably three or four inches long and fairly deep. I was a little horrified but since it's not that noticeable I could leave it alone... But now I know it's there...

    Plenum drains...?

    After reading something about plenum chambers and stuff on the post regarding smelly aircon & steamy windows, I had a touch of the fear. My last car was prone to plenum chambers flooding (horrific stories regarding drowned ECU's etc) so I thought that it would've been a thing of the past since...

    Stone chips

    Hey guys, As you can see, I'm new to the forum and am hoping that you can shed some light on something that I'm a little hesitant to do. Namely that my car come with four additional 'features' in the form of four pretty nasty stone chips at the front of the bonnet. I've attempted fixing stone...

    Fuel additives

    Hey guys, This is probably a quick and pointless question; do you recommend the use of fuel additives for the diesel A4's? I used to add some Millers Diesel Sport to my last diesel car, which increases cetane levels, etc? Is it still worth adding that to the VAG engines?

    A couple of questions...

    Hi guys, Since I'm new to my A4, I've got a couple of burning questions after driving it around for a week... When I'm in first gear in stop-start traffic I've noticed what can only be described as the occasional 'rumble' from the back end. It sounds like it could be fuel sloshing around in...

    Upgrades for the Symphony head unit...?

    Hi guys, I just joined the Audi fray last week after buying myself this lovely A4 S-Line TDi beast (pics and stuff in the 'Welcome' section), but I'm already thinking of upgrading the head unit from the (non-Bose) 'Symphony' system that's in it at the moment as it's... Well... It's got a tape...

    Vorsprung Durch... Phwoar!

    Hey guys! Greetings from (not so sunny) Edinburgh. I've joined up here after having bought a beautiful '06-plate A4 S-Line TDi and driving it around for a week or so. I bought it after my once-beloved '04 MG ZT conked out on me (again) so it was time to upgrade to something a bit better...
