    Hi everyone, I love my 2012 Audi A5 convertible (see picture) but at 60,000 miles has had a complete engine failure and my garage has advised the only way to keep in on the road is a reconditioned engine which they don't do. I'm starting my research on the process and a good garage to do this...

    2020 S4 When is first Halsex (Quattro system) service due?

    Thank you @The Jargen. A potential buyer had suggested reducing the asking price by £200 on the basis this was due. They were either misinformed or “trying it on”. I did not agree to this reduction.

    I had a tyre failure on my S4 which has the Quattro system. Tyre insurance covered it but they fitted a different tyre. So now I have the following: Front Passenger Side: Pirelli 255/345 R19 96Y Potenza 255/35RK19 96Y everywhere else (original tyre when new) I’m told that if I sell this will...

    2020 S4 When is first Halsex (Quattro system) service due?

    My S4 TDI has done 20,000 miles and is coming up to 3 years in November. I’ve always serviced at an Audi main dealer. They have not mentioned the need for or done such a service as yet but my 3 year service is coming up? Does anyone know if/when it is due on this model. And what is the typical...

    Audio settings question

    I agree and have not found a way around this. I've also noticed the following. While you are using an Audi MMI music source (i.e. the radio or the Audi streaming interfaces) you can use settings to adjust said bass, treble, sub settings, you can't to this while using Apple CarPlay. Also...

    KUFATEC

    I don’t think it appropriate to refer to leave voters as idiots. The right wing press subjected the British people to years of misinformation and downright lies about the EU (e.g...

    2020 A4 - Turning of "South Africa Mode" single door unlock?

    Hi guys, I'm away on holiday and foolishly left my S4 manual at home. Do you know where I can find the settings for the key such that when I unlock all 4 doors rather than just the driver side door unlock? It's causing annoyance with family trips with a full car. I always forget and there is...

    B9.5 - S4 Avant Essential Options

    For me essential options are the top sound system which is B&O in Audis, a radio that has DAB for 5 Live Sports Extra for Test Match Special and Apple Car Play as Waze is far better than any manufacturer SatNav and has saved me hours avoiding traffic jams on regular occasions. Thankfully these...

    New A4 MMI - Sending location from MyAudi app to car issue

    It is a free service. Beware it can take a long time so I would arrange a courtesy car. If the dealership know nothing about the update worth opening a case with Audi Connect Technical Support and they will point your dealer to the right update.

    Facelift Dash cam

    Just an idea. I see the parking sensor on my 2020 S4 is effectively a camera showing what is ahead. Could this camera combined with some in-car memory be configured to be 'always on' and act as a front facing dash cam, recording the last 10 minutes of footage which could be recalled from...

    Would you still buy an Audi if prices were hiked by 10%

    I fear you may be right. Not good news today. Brexit: Latest EU-UK trade talks end early as 'significant differences' remain The latest discussions end a day earlier than planned with both sides admitting they continue to disagree on a number of issues...

    Would you still buy an Audi if prices were hiked by 10%

    Agree. As we have seen the economy In general and the car industry particularly have been hard hit by COVID-19. Having a no deal would be a double whammy for the economy at the worst time for it in my lifetime. Thankfully the leave campaign and now the government always promised a good deal...

    Would you still buy an Audi if prices were hiked by 10%

    To my point Looks like No Deal may unfortunately be back as a possible outcome. Looks like the UK car industry is warning No Deal could threaten British factory jobs at Nissan. I have an Audi and a British built Nissan Leaf. Both are great cars. Hoping that we avoid no deal and job losses in...
