    Spare set of keys US model in Europe

    Hi, We have a 2006 Audi A4 which we imported to Europe. We lost one set of keys and would like to get a spare. Can we get them cut in the US without the car being there? thanks

    Few questions about B9 Avant 190 TDI

    Driving will mostly be on weekends. 50% of time will be driving out 5-20 miles. We are in SE5 area but will be moving 5+ miles out next year when buying a house. I never had and always wanted a diesel (I used to live in the US) I figured this is last car before going electric. Also, how...

    Few questions about B9 Avant 190 TDI

    Hi, I am thinking about purchasing an 16-17 A4 Avant 2.0 TDI 190 S-Line with about 60k for about £17.5k. I know this is not the right time to buy a second hand car , but we had a baby right now and the car would help us. We also have money in saved so it does not make sense to lease/finance...

    B9 2.0 TFSI or 2.0 TDI 190

    Hi, I am looking into a second hand 2017 A4 TDI 190 with 40k miles or 2016 A4 2.0 TFSI with 25k miles both with a manual transmision. I don't use the car for work, just around town urban commute and long road trips. What is the general consensus among these two engines? It seems that 2.0 TFSI is...

    What engine for 2016 Audi A4

    Yup. I see some cars come with the 54l option with the Diesel and the Ad Blue. If I have Ad Blue do I still have the DPF?

    What engine for 2016 Audi A4

    I know some TDIs come with 24l Ad Blue. Not sure what that is how does it work in conjunction with the DPF?

    What engine for 2016 Audi A4

    I am finding very 2.0 TFSI in my budget <£14k much less with configuration (leather) and colour. This is where TDI opens the opportunity, but wanted to sanity check if I am crazy to be looking at Diesel and living in London now. My use cases: running around town and long road trips most likely...

    What engine for 2016 Audi A4

    Hi, I am looking for a secondhand A4 with manual. What is recommended engine - 1.4 TFSI, 2.0 TFSI 150 TDI or 190 TDI? Most 2nd hand I see are 150 TDI are the underpowered? I feel like 1.4 TFSI are underpowered 2.0 TFSI rare and probably not fuel efficient. 190 TDI is also rare but might be a...

    2016 B9 What engine

    S tronic is an automatic transmission? I plan on getting a manual transmission if possible. I see that there are 2 TDI engines - 150 and 190 bhps. I suspect I should be looking for the 190 engine? I see that most used TDI come with a SE trim which I would like to avoid due to the lesser audio...

    2016 B9 What engine

    Thanks all for your feedback. It would be nice to get the virtual cockpit and leather, but I don't think I can in my budget. Just so I am not missing a trick, should I be considered the 2.0 TDI engine? Its ULEZ compliant, and i get lower car tax and parking fees not sure about the DPN filter...

    2016 B9 What engine

    Hi, I was originally looking at a 2nd hand A3, but am now looking at either a 1.4 TFSI or 2.0 TFSI A4 2016+ or higher vintage. The rationale is I feel like A4 comes with quite a few more features and with the family potentially underway in a few years its a better value upgrade. I live in...

    Purchasing used 8V A3 - couple of questions

    Thanks that's perfect. I can find some decent 2016 in Sport that will practically hit all my requirements. I am finding better deals on the 2.0TDI versus the 1.4 TFSI. I know I was going to go with the TFSI due to my driving prefernces (low mileage, City Driving), but 2.0TDI is not a bd engine...
