    Stop/start,,,, battery voltage level controlled ?

    You are correct, everything is designed around the stop start systems, from the starter motor to the alternator to the engine oil. The engine is also stopped at a particular cycle of the pistons to ensure less wear and tear...

    1.4 TFSI engine jerks

    I had a 1.4 A3 and not once was it jerky, it was the 1.5 engine that was effected by this symptom https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/driving-1/2020-07/volkswagen-confirms-no-further-measures-planned-in-regards-to-15-tsi-issues/...

    Tyres and brake fluid.

    As has always if my memory serves me correctly. I do wonder why Audi do restrict their service plans to certain vehicles only, I have one for my current vehicle, at £16.36 per month. However this doesn't include the brake fluid change but does include the cost of the first MOT and any fluid top...

    Tyres and brake fluid.

    Most manufactures have changed the first brake fluid change regime to two years which, I assume is based upon recommendations from the fluid manufactures. As my 2016 A4 was purchased from new, and on service plan, the first change had no extra charge. My bmw has the same regime also...

    Audi a4 2.0tfsi oil leak

    On the 2.0 petrol the filter is located at the front off the engine to the right of the top of the timing chain cover, see pic. So would it have come from there?

    Engine cutting and coasting even with Stop/Start disabled?!

    With the configurable individual mode, that allows you to set different modes for the engine, gearbox, steering and suspension, if you've adaptive, is it possible just to place just the gearbox in sport mode and that disables start stop and coasting?

    Engine cutting and coasting even with Stop/Start disabled?!

    Maybe that's what I was seeing, as I've no longer got the A4 I can't test it..

    Engine cutting and coasting even with Stop/Start disabled?!

    My 2017 A4 was also a mild hybrid and turned off the engine when coasting. You can also instigate coasting with a gear paddle. Not sure but I don't think it was part of the start stop system but I am sure both are off in sports mode...

    72k and 4.5 years with my S4 B9, just about to order an S3

    Pre-owned prices though are ridiculous at the moment. I see older versions of my car with higher mileage being advertised for £3k higher than I paid for mine new.

    72k and 4.5 years with my S4 B9, just about to order an S3

    Good luck I wish you well with your choice. As you probably are aware I sold my A4 in the spring and purchased a BMW 2 Series M235i GC, the direct competitor to the S3. I looked at other Audi's, specifically A/S3's, but I just couldn't live with that dash. I find the interior of the BMW almost...

    End of Warranty Check - common warranty claims

    I kept my A4 2.0ltfsi beyond the normal warranty period. One thing I had done under the extended warranty was the brake servo sensor, common issue if the car isn't used for any length of time. The other thing I would have claimed for was the rear suspension mount as it was an advisory under the...
