    Non-OEM roof bars on B8.5 Avant?

    So I'm looking at roof bars and I see that the Audi bars have little bits that go into the holes on the roof rails, but aftermarket/generic bars for flush roof rails don't have these. Does this matter at all? It doesn't even look like Thule fitting kits have these little bits.

    B8.5 Avant center brake light replacement DIY?

    Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search but couldn't find a DIY for an Avant. I've had an intermittent fault with this light for a while now, and it seems to do it every time now so I think I need to get the unit replaced. The unit itself isn't expensive so I'd like to do it myself...

    Ok so I'm picking up my MY13 163ps TDIe avant tomorrow (excited!) and my only concern now is whether or not to go for the dealer's (Carstore, formerly Evans Halshaw) warranty or to do the timing belt. They want £495 for two years warranty, which isn't too bad. However, the car also (imo) needs...

    Thinking about a B8.5 avant...

    So as the title says I'm thinking about getting a 2012+ avant. Currently drive an old Jag X-type 2.0D, which has been a great car but is now 14 years old and getting pretty tired/costly to fix. So something with similar power and economy would be great. I'm err'ing towards a 2.0TDI FWD Technik...
