    Leather problems

    Hi guys & gals, been a while since posting, everything been going well (I really shouldn't have said that!! :laughing:) aside from the old mpg gripes, but I have a couple of minor niggles I wonder if anybody else has encountered? About a week after I bought my '15 A4, I noticed the leather on...

    Rim troubles

    Has anybody here had difficulty with the 19” rims on the Black Edition Plus? Not the rotor design.. the other ones :) I had a Michelin PS3 fitted a couple of months back and the tyre place had massive difficulties getting the tyre to seat. Took me to leave the car with them for a couple of...

    Ok, I have to ask...

    Been here a few months now, and I usually read the board using the New Posts section. One thing that’s puzzled me from the outset (and I’ve been too noob to ask!) is... why is there an A1 eBay sales bot posting ads scraped from eBay just for A1s? I mean, don’t get me wrong, when I was looking...

    Unexplained fans running...

    I got out of the car last night after a 10 minute drive home to hear the fans running at full speed from the front of the car. I'd noticed this before, and always put it down to DPF regen and didn't worry too much about it, but what other causes are there? I'm asking because VAG DPF is saying...

    The next recall...

    Anyone else had the recall done for "A.Servicing Heater Element" 80C6? I noticed it outstanding on My Audi site and gave them a call last week, booked it in for today and guess who's getting a taxi home tonight... Apparently although Audi UK have it down as a 2-hour job, the local dealer says...

    Maintenance Schedule?

    I thought I’d seen this somewhere but didn’t mark it and can’t find it now... Is there an official Maintenance Schedule document for a 2015 B8.5 A4 tdi quattro kicking around online anywhere? the U.K. Audi site is unsurprisingly obtuse with its pages just telling me how great the dealers are at...

    MMI 3G+ BT streaming and phone?

    I'm hoping I don't already know the answer to this one... My phone is linked to the car MMI 3G+ and that's great, but should it be possible to Bluetooth stream music from another phone at the same time, or do I need to disconnect my phone? I could do this no problem with my old car's Parrot...

    Still getting used to S-Tronic

    Does anybody else find 7 gears just seems to be too much? I've noticed when driving around in standard 'D' auto mode the car seems more than happy to keep changing gear. It's almost like it's showing off how smoothly it can do it! Like, if I'm toddling along at 30 and drop to 28 it decides...

    Build spec sticker missing options...

    I'm a little confused with my car over the options it has and am trying to understand what is a definitive build spec. When I bought the car, I enquired with Audi over the spec. and they gave me the full list: A4 Black Edition Plus TDI quattro 177ps S-tronic Tech. Package Audi Music...

    Noob Stop/Start question...

    There's one particular aspect of Stop/Start that is bugging me and I wonder if it's just my car or if anyone can shed any light on the whys and wherefores? First off, I've a '15 TDI Quattro S-tronic in case it makes a difference, maybe the rules change for manual cars. If I come to a stop on...

    Fixed New Posts not working for General Automotive forum?

    I posted a thread in the General Automotive Chat forum today but noticed if I go to ‘New Threads’ it doesn’t appear in the list? Is this deliberate or a bug? I don’t know about others, but I mainly use the board by going to ‘New Posts’ to see what’s being talked about. Seems strange that a...

    Used car dealer thoughts...

    Used car dealers...argh! What are your thoughts on this? I have recently purchased a 2015 A4 tdi quattro s-tronic Black Edition Plus with 37,700 miles on it from a Network Q Vauxhall dealer who shall remain nameless for the time being. First problem, rear had 2 good Continentals and front had...
