@Mike12-1 I've just had someone hit the bumper of my A4 B9 last week. Similar level of damage. Got 3 quotes so far, just over 500 for a fill and paint type job, 1400ish for a local bodyshop and around 2350 at an Audi dealer. I think the last 2 of those are replacement bumper jobs. Going to see a...

If the water doesn't bead then it's not going to be engine oil, unless most has been absorbed into the driveway. Brake fluid can absorb water so that could be a possibility, maybe a damaged line. Worth checking fluid levels in the reservoir, in fact you should probably check and keep an eye on...

Is the battery in the boot of the 1.4? If you spray water on the stain on the drive, does it bead or not? Is it definitely from your car or has someone parked there while you were out? Park on a big sheet of cardboard and see if you get any fresh leaking.

Welcome to the forum, it's a bit quieter around here these days but you'll still find plenty of useful information in these forums. When you get the car, don't forget to post pics. Are you planning on keeping the car for a while? If so, service plans and extended warranty could prove good...

Not a surprise that it is likely to be the thermostatic valve housing. Had mine replaced a couple of years ago but fortunately the cost was covered by Audi. Also had a leak from the A/C condenser repaired at the same time and now have oil leaking from the gearbox sump. 1 leak could be considered...

You have my sympathy, that's all very unfortunate and I can only begin to imagine how sickening you must find the situation. Clearly a 30k repair just isn't worth it as there are plenty of B9 3.0tdi A4 Avants available secondhand for 20k or less. I think key to any outcome is understanding...

Had the same on one of my USB ports. Started off intermittent but then became unusable. Had the port changed for a new one under warranty and no further issues.

Just checked my manual and it says bank B is not used so would assume that would explain why that is missing in your photo. Other than that it looks a match so would assume the heated rear screen fuse is the bottom one in in the left bank i.e. the one rated 30A with all empty slots below it. I'd...

Funny, had the same earlier in the month. Hadn't washed the car for a while due to a hosepipe ban and car went in for MOT. Garage does complimentary healthcheck and finds rear wiper jets not working and offers to fix for £120. I say no thanks, I'll take a look myself instead. Find that fluid is...

Sounds like you're not going to be sorry to be moving it on. No doubt very frustrating having this happen at this stage, hope it didn't cost too much to sort out. I wonder if the original wiring fix that should have been done has failed. Would be worrying if that was the case and if there are...

Did you manage to get through your MOT? Is yours the 4dr by the way? I've got the Avant and shortly after getting it there was a recall to add some cable protection for the powered boot electrics which could have split and malfunctioned.

If you've got the video, take that to the service centre and get them to sort it. I'd have thought if it was the whole seat then they couldn't refuse warranty on that.

@creweaudiparts are a site sponsor and usually very helpful with this sort of thing

So, it has now been 6 years since I picked up my brand new B9 2.0tfsi s-line quattro so thought I’d put together a quick(ish) long-term ownership summary. Been really happy with the car and there is nothing out there for less than double the original price that appeals to me so it will be...

could it be some trim flapping? rear bumper, wheel arch lining or under body protection - that sort of thing?

Thanks both, that would be a possibility. Not sure what a new car price would be for mine but maybe just under 50k for similar spec. Looking on Autotrader, 2016 2.0TFSI quattro cars are currently between 21k for a sport and 25425 for a low mileage s-line. That's pretty remarkable residuals at 6...

Just noticed that on the Audi UK website, they no longer list any petrol quattro A4s (unless you want an RS4). When did that happen? The marketing blurb on the page states engines available from 150PS to 204PS which translates to 35TFSI up to 40TDI. Maybe down to parts shortages or production...

My guess would be that there's one for the Avant shared with the A3 that has a washer fluid connection and then one for the sedan without.

Have you had a service recently? I'd have thought your best hope would be that it was something simple like the seal for the oil filter housing or the oil filler cap otherwise it's a trip to the mechanics.

Hope it didn't have a red nose, you could have just cancelled christmas. That could very nearly have been my car on Saturday night as well so I really can empathise. A magnificent fallow deer buck hopped out into the road in front of my car on a foggy country road in North Oxfordshire. Slammed...
