Just a quick question. I wasn't aware of it until after I got the battery fitted, but it was 60% SoC when fitted at the mechanics. I've read that it is important that the battery is fully charged before coding. Will the fact that it was only 60% charged when coded going to detrimental in any...

Thanks for the information, it's always nice to learn along the way. Well, the current battery has lasted since May 2014 when the car was manufactured, so I think AGM batteries are worth the money. I mean Audi recommend changing it every 5 years in the Owner's Manual, so 8 years is pretty good...

I probably didn't make it clear, my apologies....but I have already purchased the battery from Tayna as many people have recommended them for the competitive pricing and service. I got the Varta G14: https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/varta/g14/ Ordered it yesterday and It should arrive...

Rang AA and they said they won't fit the battery unless I purchase it from them bevause they don't know what damage the battery I purchased (from Tayna) will do to the car [emoji849] Lol I told them it's a Varta G14, literally identical to the Bosch S5A13 one they sell, and they rejected. Grrr...

The replacement Varta is 95Ah and 850CCA compared to the original which is 92Ah and 860CCA. Does that qualify as "same" battery? Sorry for not understanding, but I was under the impression that when the battery is replaced it has to be coded as the energy management system requires it, as it...

Definitely will give AA a call as I am a member. £170 for fitting and coding is pretty good! If they can fit and code for £50ish I'd be happy. Sent from my SM-G998B using Tapatalk

Was just reading up on OBD11 subscriptions. From what I understand, they changed the PRO and Ultimate plans to an annual subscription in 2021, but users who already had the PRO or Ultimate subscriptions prior to 2021 would still get Lifetime subscription at no extra charge. Sent from my...

Thanks for that info. Yeah the rude chap I spoke to said his VCDS cost him £2000, not the £500 you mention. Haha! So either he got mugged off or he's simply telling porkies. I totally understand that garage's need to recoup the cost of their VCDS but like you say it's a 10 min job and as such...

Yes I found that strange too....the Varta G14 has more Ah (95Ah) but less CCA (850 vs 860 on the 92Ah factory battery) Anyhow, I did message Tayna and they said that the G14 I linked above is the correct one as long as the dimensions are the same. The current battery measures 353mm length so I...

Lol, yeah I had the wheel well open when it was raining. Didn't think water would get inside but it did. Not the smartest move to check my battery model when it's raining but I got a sponge and cleaned it up. But it's funny you mention that because I do get quite a bit of condensation in...

Recently, my car alarm has started to go off at random times of the day. I hadn't been driving it much during lockdown and the log book shows the battery has never been replaced. I've had the car for 2 years and no problems. Even now, the car starts and runs fine without no battery lights...

Astonishingly, in the Audi clip, it appears a police car drive past as soon as the thieves pulled up alongside the Audi [emoji15][emoji44] Sent from my HD1913 using Tapatalk

I had a 08reg A4 with the Bose system and the bass was full and present. Very deep. I loved it. Listening to music was a pleasure. Now I have a B8.5 A4 with B&O system and I have to say the bass is extremely underwhelming. I've done some reading on this and come to the following conclusion...

For an ex company diesel car, that mileage isn't out of the ordinary at all. They use them as run-around vehicles and probably average anywhere between 10-15k miles per year. As long as it has all the full Audi service history it should be fine. Check it's MOT history online to see what work...

Yes. My previous 2009 A4 which had regular Bose speakers had better/more bass. Sent from my HD1913 using Tapatalk

Yes it is keyless. Marshall Audi Bromley quoted a figure of £317.50 (Inc VAT and labour) and the key takes 5-10 days to arrive from Germany where they are cut. Seriously?! I guess all modern cars have keyless entry and the programming etc costs quite a lot (£200+) Sent from my HD1913 using...

Hello all, I have just recently purchased an Audi A4 from a dealer but it only comes with one key fob, no emergency key either. It's had 2 previous owners so I'm guessing somewhere along the line they lost/didn't forward the spare keys. I know Audi will probably charge in excess of £300...
