    Oil change already?

    I know nothing about cars so forgive this question!

    Ok, so just handed back my A4 3.0 tdi 272 quattro and taken delivery of a new S3 saloon. When I put my foot down in the A4, it shifted, the torque was great, pushed me back into the seat and flew, you knew you were accelerating! There's none of that in the S3, yes it goes when you put your...

    MMI view

    Guys can I just clarify, any issues if your phone is plugged in via cable? I'm picking mine up next week, but if it means plugging a cable in sorts a lot of issues, then I'm fine.

    Wheel Alignment

    Hi, just had a call from the local dealership as they have my car for a free winter healthcheck. I need new front tyres and the rears arent far off needing replacing too, which is all fine. But they mentioned that I could also do with a wheel alignment, which is about £450 with them! I assume...

    Ok, so I'm a ludite so forgive me if this all sounds stupid! I have Audi Connect, which I think I get free for the first 3 months? So far the only thing that seems of use is the Google Earth on sat nav and real time traffic updates and re-routes, which I like. I have a MyAudi account and also...

    B9 Audi Sound System vs B&O

    3 weeks in with the audi sound system and i'm not impressed. I had the B&O in an A5 6 yrs ago and subsequently Meridian in a Range Rover and I have to keep turning the volume down on the Audi system as it's too screechy. Can B&O be retro-fit?
