    It's been 9 years to the day and still here.

    Fair play, I can only speak from experience and my late 2008 car did 125k from brand new with only a heater matrix failure, same clutch too. I especially loved the damping on the light adjustment button, it was a joy.

    2.0 tdi any good?

    Others may disagree but I've had nothing but good experience with this engine. Ran a B7 from new to 115k with zero issues also had an 8P A3 which had the same engine and regularly got 60+ mpg zero issues. Currently run a C6 A6 on 128k again zero engine issues.

    Help please.... what’s this light?

    Looks like the TPMS tyre pressure monitoring system) warning light. Maybe the battery is low in the valve and as it's yellow not red it's an alert to change it.

    No heat inside car

    I had this on my old B7. It only blew cold out, strangely air con still worked though. Turned out to be the heater matrix. Mart.

    B7 RS4 problem when engine cold - please help!

    I had the same feeling but to a lesser extent, didn't really think much about it as it wasn't a problem after the car was warm. However, after a carbon clean the difference when cold was night and day, a lot smoother idle and a lot less "lumpy". HTH.
