    Any problems expected if I disconnect the battery?

    There have been minor things to reset on other cars that I have known, such as reprogramming the electric windows. If I disconnect the battery on my B9, will anything require to be reset on reconnection? And particularly, anything that cannot be done DIY? Thanks

    BP Unleaded or Morrisons Super Unleaded?

    I've always filled up with Shell or BP standard unleaded - I've avoided supermarket fuels as branded fuels are supposed to contain more detergents to keep the engine clean and I've never suffered with running problems. My local BP unleaded is 143.9p but I have discovered that Morrisons down the...

    Anyone had coil pack failures?

    2016 1.4TFSI 25,000m. Car was misfiring so checked with OBD Eleven, which showed misfires in all cylinders. Thought it might be a fuel system problem so booked it in to an independent VW/Audi specialist. They replaced all 4 coil packs and plugs. It's perfect now. Anyone else suffered coil pack...

    Trickle charging a stop-start battery

    Not driving much due to lockdown, so have charged my wife's Ibiza battery no problem. I want to charge the A4 but using ordinary chargers is not advised with an AGM battery. I have a charger which has a trickle mode. about 3A max. I can't see that causing any damage for a few hours. What do...

    Lost all DAB reception after frosty morning

    After a really hard frost this week I lost DAB reception but still had AM/FM. I drove about 10 mins and parked the car up in full sun. Went back to the car an hour later and DAB was back.

    Question about part numbers and compatibility?

    Would a driveshaft from an A4 B9 2.0 fit an A4 B9 1.4, assuming they have the same part number 8W0407271E In other words and in general, can you forget about other factors when considering compatibility as long as the part number is identical?

    Sound disappeared from Android Auto Google Maps turn-by-turn?

    When navigating with Google Maps, she says, for example, "navigating to home" but then there is no further audio. If the radio is on, it mutes at the times and places you would expect to receive a turn notification but no voice. I've also tried with the radio off but it made no difference. If I...

    I've searched the forum and checked the handbook. I don't need to top it up but I'm an engineer so I like to know where these things are!

    Why does my car have a camera in the windscreen?

    Hi, New Member here. I've just bought a 16 reg A4 Avant Sport 1.4 150 with 16,000 miles. I noticed the camera in the windscreen and wondered what it is used for, as I don't seem to have the auto-dipping headlight option?
