    Flat battery B8 2.0tfsi Quattro

    If it is stop start, you definitely don't want the negative charger terminal on the negative battery terminal but on the chassis instead. Saves sensitive electronic stuff going pop. And probably better buying a dedicated AGM smart charger instead like a maypole or ctek so it reads the battery...

    Bearings again!

    This may sound silly, however bare with me, but are your tyres Decent? By this I mean a decent brand, and of good condition? I only say this because I had some cheap tyres once (triangle Chinese tat) And they were the most noisiest things ever. Changed them for Dunlop's, problem solved. I...

    Charging battery not in use

    Charger finally came by snail mail, so finally installed my home made loom complete with soldered plugs and terminals. Kept me busy while holed up in the house to relieve the boredom. I must say my battery was a tad hungry, but charging nice at the minute, and with this always on, should prolong...

    Charging battery not in use

    It's ok mate I dragged my ar5e out to garage and pulled my boot apart to have a look so I can hard wire a permanent tail with plug on. It turns out that 3 core flex can be fed into boot at the top left or right corner as the glass has section that is cut wider. ( But obviously only using 2 wires...

    2.0 TFSI Known Oil Consumption problem - 2015 ongoing thread (2009-2011 models)

    Mine doesn't use a drop between services. Not a drop. I switched from a diesel A4 to my TFSI A5 because of short journeys, the A4 just wasn't getting warm which, can be trouble with a diesel. A good rule of thumb regarding whether a diesel is viable is 20 mins or 20 miles per journey. If...

    2.0 TFSI Known Oil Consumption problem - 2015 ongoing thread (2009-2011 models)

    Definitely mate. Always make sure the repair has been done. Do not even consider one without any proof as ALL these engines were affected. I often ask traders on eBay if the repair has been done and the usual rubbish I get answers with is, " it's all been checked out by a mechanic as ok" or, "...

    2.0 TFSI Known Oil Consumption problem - 2015 ongoing thread (2009-2011 models)

    I think you will be safe as you have documented evidence that the repair was done therefore it won't drink oil. That ultimately is the main problem with these faulty engines. The car you mentioned, was repaired 4 years ago Wear and tear would probably have caused these parts to fail. The...

    2.0 TFSI Known Oil Consumption problem - 2015 ongoing thread (2009-2011 models)

    Aah right ok, I am on the same page now. I would be very upset if it hasn't worked mate, given the cost. I take it you got zero Joy from Audi before you went down that route? What was there reason?
