I went 8P S3, B8.5 S4 at 480bhp, now the X4 35D. call it becoming a dad or the 30s creeping up, I like the idea of cheap(er) miles and less tax… since the wife got a A3 saloon I can’t help but find myself reaching for her keys if we do any miles and don’t need the space. It’s a effortless 55mpg+.

Keeping an eye on it. I am making my quest even harder by hoping for Approved Used from a Audi dealership. I am in no rush mind so still holding out

that makes sense then. I just presumed the £30 band 3.0 models where a incorrect data input on autotrader! it looks like I’m a after a hens tooth of a spec but I shall keep looking. Is the saloon boot that much smaller? We have a 1yr old and the X4 boot can quickly fill up if going out for a...

looks the right spec, I should have mentioned I’d be looking for the facelift version, apologies. the used car market is crazy, I’ve had my car 2 years and it’s worth the same at PX value as what I paid for it.

Hi all. I’ve been looking around for some time and struggling to find info relating to my wish list. Im in the market for a C7 A6 2.0TDi Ultra Avant in the £30 annual tax bracket. Ideally a black edition and with FB wheel and tech pack. I just cannot find anything anywhere, I’m starting to...

Well, I believe I’ve fixed the issue. Turns out I’m 26 going on 70. Oops. Just had a look and the option now wasn’t greyed out and I could activate the headlight conveyor. Turns out the lights need to be on for it to be turned on. Surely I’m not the first to do that.

Thanks guys! Think I may know someone but if not I’ll find someone on here.

I’ve been through the manual and it just states about turning the function on in MMI as I have xenons but it won’t let me turn the function on to automatically dip the left. Worst case I’ll just get some beam benders but seems unnecessary if I can do it via the onboard.

The option is in the MMI just weird how it’s there but not available to select. My car is a 62 so one of the first B8.5s so maybe it wasn’t available then but the softwares been updated?

Hi all. I will be going France in a few weeks in my B8.5 S4. I’ve found the KPH setting but looking into adjusting the xenons. I have found the headlight converter function in the exterior lights settings but it’s greyed out and says unavailable? Anyone else had this. Thanks.

I drive like miss daisy most the time. Car doesn’t come out in the bad weather so hopefully will be fine. Like I say will speak to the specialists and hopefully get more sense out of them than the dealers and a bit better input.

Yeah I appreciate that. I can see me owning the car for another year or two. It’s on 46k. I only do about 5k a year and drive pretty steady, garaged without fail too. So doubt I’ll pass 60k in it. However it’s stage 1 from MRC of that matters. However I do drive pretty steady.

Thanks. I know dealers don’t like talking issues like that so I’ll have a good chat with the specialist Tuesday when I’m off work and see what they recommend.

I have now found another specialist (Quattro-tech) who seem to have good reviews so I’ll give them a ring too.

Is the crank pulley also an issue on the 8.5 models?
