Just an update on this, I took the car to Unit 20 today and they replaced the thermostat, bell housing and water pump. Total cost £771.

Thanks for posting that link, I have spoken to Unit 20 and they have suggested the same. The car is now booked in

I’ve had my 2016 252 TFSI B9 saloon for three years and it’s been completely trouble free in that time but it went in for a service a couple of weeks ago, oil change, new spark plugs and S tropic oil change. They found a coolant leak and quoted a £1,000 to fix (it was a main dealer) I’ve checked...

Thanks, I’m not on Facebook but might be worth signing up!

I have had my A4 252 BHP for two years now and I am looking to upgrade to an S4 avant (petrol). I really like my A4 and the spec is what some traders would call ‘full loaded’, trying to find an S4 with a similar spec is proving virtually impossible. If there are any forum members thinking of...

I have had all kinds of performance cars over the years but bought a 2.0 252 BHP TFSI It was bought in a rush as I had a Jag XE-S (supercharged V6) which ended up being rejected and needed a car very quickly. I wasn’t sure if it would be fast enough or special enough but I love it. It’s great...

Completely agree It’s a very good engine

I have the 2.0 in 252BHP tune. My previous cars have been a supercharged V6 and a turbocharged straight six and the performance is down on both of those but I don’t feel short changed. It’s a very good engine with great (for the performance) fuel economy.

I’ve put 36 in the rears
