Agree with everything Julian has said, I just thought I’d point out, although OBD11 is Android only, Carista is available for both iOS and Android. I’m not wonderfully keen on Carista, it takes 5 minutes every time I plug in just to scan the settings, so although a quick toggle on/off for...

I’m interested, do you get 40s round town from cold in this weather or is that a warmer weather figure? Do you keep the car garaged? Is it s-tronic or a manual? Sorry for the questions, I’m just curious as I’m coming to the end of my warranty and my figures are a good 10 lower even driving like...

Problem is the diesel MPG is absolutely rubbish when the engine is cold, so if you're on short journeys, you're probably better off with petrol. My A4 177 tdi quattro is getting 28-32 out of the average gallon. It's better when warmed up. I managed 43mpg (DIS so probably only 41) cruising down...

Don’t know, mine seems to be running regens about 500 miles apart. I don’t know if running richer when cold causes greater soot buildup perhaps? It’d be great if there was a way of telling if the thermostat was jammed open by feeling pipe temperatures on either side of the stat. Has anyone done...

Here's the kind of thread I've been reading... http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/engine-temperature-and-warm-up-time.174595 Loathe to spend money on it, but I am coincidentally going to run out of warranty just as the weather finally warms up (end of April... I bought the car in November)...

I'd love it to be a stat issue, but from what I've read (searching around for temperature and economy issues) it would appear it is normal for this engine. My car went in to the dealer as my economy is **** and I suggested it was the thermostat as it seemed to take an age to get up to...

My A4 177tdi is exactly the same. Dealer says it’s normal, but I’m sure it doesn’t help with the poor economy. I rarely manage to get the car up to temperature at the moment. Really hope this improves as the weather warms up as I’m sure it can’t be good driving everywhere on a cold engine, for...

I’m doing similar runs in a ‘15 177 A4 tdi quattro and so far also finding it’s appalling on fuel. It’s going on a 200 mile trip tomorrow so I’ll check what I get on that run, but so far about 28-29 mpg. My previous car was an ‘05 M3 and it got 22-23 mpg on the same runs so not very impressed...
