Boggo halogen ones.

I don’t have that option unfortunately. Wonder if it’s just not a feature on my model?

Taking our 3.0 TDI Avant to France from the UK for the family hols next week. I couldn’t find anything in the MMI (2G high) to adjust the headlights for driving on the other side of the road. Have I missed something or do I just need to get the stickers out? Any pointers greatly appreciated. :)

I don’t have VCDS. I do have Carista which can read codes so I’ll try that. It can’t force a re-check though. The car seems to think the bonnet is shut when it’s open and I’ve found a few posts suggesting it’s related to the MMI resetting the oil level.

Hi all, Some more info. I’ve now got a dipstick and can confirm the oil level is at max after the top up. However the dash warning / MMI is still reporting oil level at min. It seems that the oil level sensor has not reset. Interestingly, I don’t see a warning on the dash that the bonnet is...

Okay thanks both. Sounds like I'm probably okay to drive it for a day or two until I get the dipstick. I knew as soon as I saw the lack of one that it would be trouble!

Hi all, Had an oil change on our 3.0 TDI last September. Indy advised me to top up the oil occasionally. Was "getting around to it" 9 months later when the MMI "top up oil (1.25 l)" warning (yellow light) came on. Put a litre in it, warning still on. Yesterday bought more oil and put another...

Okay good to know thanks. Yeah we got nearly 600 to a tank on a run down to the med coast of France and back during the summer. We were cruising at some pretty decent speeds too.

If your Audi is anything like mine any Bluetooth it does have will be only for phone calls. Without going into the myriad of expensive and complex ways to add proper Bluetooth to the car, the easiest way as detailed above is to buy an Bluetooth to FM transmitter. I don't think you'll easily be...

8 months on the car’s been good. Had a couple of fixes - broke a coil spring at the back, and the rear wiper motor died. Other that that it’s had a service and it’s doing a great job of whisking the family round in comfort. Apart from the decent turn of speed, my favourite feature is undoubtedly...

Yep I do this too. Simplest solution IMO...

Okay thanks – yep I could feed a cable tie through the hole visible in the second pic above. Do you happen to know what these parts are called? Is it the skid pan? And if so is it a speed nut and dowel pin?

Hi all, Our B8 A4 Avant's engine undertray has lost a fastener and is hanging down on the driver’s side. The drivers side with the fastener missing looks like this: The passenger side which still has a fastener looks like this: And the front of the car looks like this: I've found this...

Yep I now have that setup. The volume is a bit low from the transmitter I bought but at £15 I can try another one. What is the particular one you’ve got? Does it come through at the right level?

The light came on after I stalled and restarted (not used to how quiet it is yet). Went for a drive this evening and all was well again - no light. Will read the codes anyway - presumably the error will be there.

Sadly I’ve just had my first warning light on the dash (flashing glow plug) less than one week in. No loss of power or any other real symptoms. Have ordered the Carista adapter so I can read the codes, will then most likely introduce myself to my local specialist. Gotta love secondhand cars -...

Thanks everyone. I have the car now - it’s an 08 SE Quattro, manual with 74k on the clock. Standard suspension which is spot on for our extremely potholed local roads. Having a lot of fun driving it - holy moly it goes on the motorway. :)

Yep it’s pretty pricey. Will see how my two cheaper options go first. :)

I’ve bought the cable / adapter and am going to give that a go. I’ve also bought a cheap Bluetooth to FM transmitter from Amazon - don’t have high hopes but you never know!

We’ve now got our 3.0 TDI Avant (thanks to everyone who helped with my daft diesel questions). The car is awesome. Fast, comfortable and practical. As seems a familiar situation for owners of older Audi’s, we quickly realised there’s no good way to connect a modern smartphone and use Spotify /...
