    2017 a4 avant 2.0 TFSI The drivers side aircon is blowing cold air only regardless of the temperature setting. Noticed because my feet were getting colder and colder this morning so switched it to the main dash vents to check. The central passenger vent blowing hot air, the drivers vent...

    Aftermarket suspension options

    2017 a4 avant s-line 2.0 TFSI auto. Running on 245/40 18s. Front tyres are no-brand "churchill" fitted by dealer when I bought it, rears are pilot sport 4 which look due for replacing soon. Really like the car, but find the suspension harsh and crashy, there's a few particularly bad sections...

    Display speed in driver assist

    Hopefully an rtfm.. Just picked up a 2017 A4 avant sline without virtual cockpit. My older A6 displayed current speed on the screen between rev/speedo, I've got used to not looking at the speedo itself. I've toggled through the tabs with mode steering wheel button, scrolled using left...

    Random alarms. VCDS info

    A6 Avant Le Mans 2010 Suffering from random alarms always inconveniently in the early hours of the morning. I borrowed VCDS from a friend and had a look. No alarm related fault codes, so it's a proper trigger. A list of alarm triggers shows 9. Intelligent siren. Maybe paranoid siren would...

    Auto wipers/lights failure

    It was the sensor which was acting erratically. A new sensor was bought through the parts request here and as luck would have it the car showed the error when dropped off at the garage. We switched it off, did a quick swap of the sensor without fitting it properly, started the car and the fault...

    A4 avant 2003 remote central locking

    Hi. I've read other posts and even had this problem before, but still haven't solved it. My remote central locking fob is failing to lock/unlock. If I put the key in ignition, turn one click and press the buttons it re-syncs and works for a short variable amount of time (hours or days) then...

    Replaced wiper linkage, now water in drivers footwell

    I've just had the wiper linkage replaced at a small independent garage. When driving home tonight after the car had been parked up all day in the rain I took a sharp left junction and felt water hit my accelerator foot as it came into the drivers footwell. What could they have put back...

    Intermittent remote central locking

    2003 A4 Avant TDi I have an intermittent issue with the remote central locking. Every now and then it just fails to work. Sometimes putting the key in the ignition fixes it straight away. Sometimes it can take a few goes (I usually just ignore it, use the car as normal locking the doors...

    Whining diff - BIG repair quote

    Would I expect any other symptoms to confirm it is that before dropping the box out. It's only done 75,000 miles, full Audi SH. How annoying.

    Whine - pitch is roadspeed related.

    Tyres are fine, Toyo proxies with 1000, and there's some new low noise tarmac on M6 and it's constant noise from that onto the old tarmac where the tyre noise changes.

    Whine - pitch is roadspeed related.

    Thanks, I'll book it in for its service next week. It doesn't get louder when cornering, just constant with road speed. Diff or drive shaft ?

    Whine - pitch is roadspeed related.

    I have an MY03 A4 Avant 1.9 TDi 130. Manual transmission. I've noticed a whine from the front. The pitch of the whine is definately road-speed related, not engine speed. It becomes noticable at a low pitch at around 30 and increases in pitch as the roadspeed increases. At 80-90mph (on private...
