The Audi specialist I used to use - Elite Vehicle Services - never appear to be open when I pass, so i'm looking for an alternative. I heard that Ron Turnbulls have ramped their prices up quite...

    S5 Brake disc options

    Afternoon guys, I recently bought an S5 (2014), which I find a great all rounder. The only thing that appears to let it down is the brakes. I recently went a bit hard on them, and think i've warped the discs slightly. Are there any alternative / obvious options I should look at? I'm not...

    Wanted RS3 2016/17

    Evening all. Considering an RS3. At present a part ex would be ideal, in the unlikely event that someone is after something more practical (my A4 Avant 3.0 TDI in classifieds). Other than that I will need to sell the A4 first to go towards any RS3. Anyway, let me know if you're thinking of...

    Sold Audi A4 Avant 3.0 TDI Quattro Black Edition 2012

    Afternoon all. Decided its time for a change, after 3.5 years of faultless ownership. I bought this car privately from its first owner, who had clearly looked after it. So i'm the second owner, and the car has covered 79k miles. Absolutely no modifications have been made. The only change I...

    Afternoon guys, I've had enough of my out of date sat nav taking me all over the shop, so am after an update. Car is a 2012 A4. there are DVDs on eBay, but unsure of quality, and they're asking £40 which seems a bit steep to me. (I got one for my previous car (M3) for a tenner). Is there a...

    "Weak Battery"

    Hi chaps, My 2012 A4 Avant (3.0 Quattro TDI), has displayed "weak battery" this morning. Granted, its been a week or so since I last drove it. During the nicer months it can often only be driven maybe once or twice a week on a long-ish run (family car), as the rest of the time I ride to work...

    Longlife service

    Morning guys, I had my A4 Avant 3.0 Quattro serviced yesterday. Having looked at the on-board system, it won't be due for another 2 years. Seems a long time to me, despite relatively low mileage. Just looking for opinions on this. Yes, its long life oil, but is 2 years pushing it for an oil...

    Headlight washer cover sticking

    Hi chaps, Anyone had this? Only had the car a few weeks and its the only niggle so far. When I use the washers the cover stays out, and I have to give it a little nudge for it to go back in. Is it worth trying WD40? Any help appreciated.

    Audi V-Spoke wheels

    Afternoon all, I'm considering going for V-Spoke wheels as replacement for my Rotors. Has anyone used an aftermarket copy of this particular wheel? I want something as close to the original as I can get, so quality needs to be decent and nothing tacky looking. I've found a couple of...

    Afternoon guys, I posted in the A4 section about this but not much joy so far. Just bought a 2012 A4 with Rotor wheels. They're looking a bit shoddy, so its the dilemma - refurb, or new wheels? These look pretty nice, and should be OEM quality...

    Warranties

    Hi chaps, I've never bought a warranty for any of my previous cars, but since the new (used) one has 121K on the clock, im having a look around to see what I can get. Unfortunately the companies i've looked at so far won't touch anything with over 120K on the clock. Has anyone here bought a...
