    Steering fault, please stop the vehicle.

    That vehicle was an 18 too but was a bit strange. The speakers were magnificent sounding but I don't think it was the upgraded unit, it had no automatic hill hold button, it went like stink and is the engine I should've got, the interior just felt loads better but I think this was phycological...

    still looking at it. Had a new b9 2.0 black edition delivered with 2k on the clock on normal suspension. Hardly feels any different and looks marginally better. Paint is swirled already and it would be a nightmare to keep clean. Goes nice though. Don think they know whats up with mine :-(

    It's football. Not Christmas. I'd consider moving :-)

    Not really fussed as long as it's clean and works. Just annoyed I have to have another day working from home (tortuously mastercating and world cup consuming)

    That's what my missus said also. They've finally made arrangements for an A4 from enterprise rentals to be delivered tomorrow dinnertime. Which is a bit poor really imo especially considering it was phoned in at 8am today. Oh well.

    Audi tech spent a couple of hours trying to resurrect it with no joy. Got picked up and sent to local dealer. Been battling all day to get a replacement and no luck, constantly rings out and false promises when finally connected. Tech from dealer says it looks to him like the codes have been...

    I was absolutely ribbing them last night. Can't help but think this is world cup related shadenfruede.

    1500 miles on the clock. Car won't start just comes up with message above. 1.4 tfsi sline saloon. Disappointed with the breakdown. First one I've had for about 20 years! I've been lucky I suppose. Audi tech on way in less that 45 minutes they've promised which isn't half bad I suppose. Will...

    Traffic Sign Recognition Coded!

    I'd just be happy with the maps speed limits chucked into the VC panel tbh. I find them fairly accurate,

    Traffic Sign Recognition Coded!

    coding only - the camera needs to be parametised on uk cars I'm sure - or have kit over and above the s-line at least sorted my windows though!

    Traffic Sign Recognition Coded!

    Yeah. My experience also. Doesn't read signs. 2018 UK sline. Strangely my windows now don't come down on long hold of open on the fob. Nuts

    How many people don't tell insurance about tuning boxes?

    LV added £30 to the policy for me - 41 yo, project manager, 3 points. Just need the box now!

    B9 Audi Sound System vs B&O

    Was a 2011 LCI 'edition' E91. Pretty sure it was the standard set up. Never sounded flat in the middle like this even when new. Mini cooper D also has always sounded better as does Tiguan. I have all 3 cars on the drive (mini, Tiguan, and A4) - just spent half hour again fiddling with the bass...

    B9 Audi Sound System vs B&O

    Funny how the beema, mini and even tiguan were excellent, very good and not objectionable (respectfully) when brand new. I'd suggest this Audi speaker bedding in period is just thee brain coming to terms with naff sound
