Car as per signature, last two thousand miles have cost me more than a pound a mile in repairs (80k on clock): DPF clean Turbo recon EGR valve+cooler Still needs - warped front hubs/disks replacing Diagnosed today (what i thought was a simple wheel bearing) new rear diff (find out the cost...

So, following the DPF, Turbo and EGR replacements I now have loss of power between 1-2k (initially only felt in 7th but now down to 3rd) and a torque intervention error code logged (no engine management light yet). Anybody explain what this is and why it might be happening? I can only find...

So, on top of turbo, DPF and now EGR+cooler in the space of two weeks I'm in the middle of two garages telling me different things about my gearbox oil change which is due. Audi (Nottingham) - quote 175 quid, about what they charged 2 years ago. Thought as it was in to an independent I'd get...

Couple of weeks ago the DPF light comes on, limp mode. Booked in last week - DPF needs cleaning, bit unusual at such low miles (80k), anyway, gets sent off and gets good results from the cleaning. Had a call today, stud snapped on the turbo, we'll have to remove the turbo to sort it, but...

First time, popped to the local pub for lunch, got back in car to a dead battery. RAC man put his money on duff battery (it's about old enough), but after a jump everything checked out ok and sure enough it behaved for another 10 days. Cue a trip to Thorpe Park and after an overnight stay in...

Booked in for a service on monday, highly regarded independant rings me today "your gearbox oil change, my mechanic says there are three lots of oil to change, which ones do you want doing?" Also said the oil alone was half again what Audi charged me for the last gearbox oil change. So did...

So.. 6 months ago took car in for front brake judder and weird noise on nsf - turns out discs were heavily warped. So, replacement discs, which lasted around 2-3 months before it recurred - discs got replaced for free but suspicions that the nsf caliper might be sticking. 2-3 months later and...

Booked in tomorrow to find out what's going on. Low speed grooooooaan every half a wheel rotation (only below 10mph) on n/s front. Audible through the car with the radio on and definitely audible outside. Braking from 60-40 gives bad steering wheel vibration, like very badly balanced wheels...

So, took my load cover out as per usual, but when i come to replace it the spring clips either side are fully retracted and won't pop out (the big clip in the middle, not the two prongs). Audi fixed this for me once before but for all I know they hit it with a hammer. Anybody know how to fix...

Finally found somebody competitive to refurb my BBS's, problem is they want the car for 5 days which makes it really difficult. Anybody got any A4 wheels I could borrow for a couple of weeks? Obv case of beer in the other direction plus if I do any serious miles I'll make a contribution to the...

http://carleasingmadesimple.com/business-car-leasing/audi/a4-avant_4/ So, it's going to be a minimum of £150 (plus VAT) to re-coat and diamond cut my 20 spoke alloys (x4!), plus I need back tyres, so looking to buy an alternative secondhand pair and score some tyres at the same time - but...

Well my 19" speedline 20 spoke wheels need a refurb and it turns out it's actually cheaper to buy an alternative wheel set (diamond cut rims), something like: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191589501225?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true ?? No damage on them, just the lacquer is...

Anybody else had any problems? Last couple of times I've removed it completely I've had problems getting it to click into place, this time it just won't - the pair of prongs on the drivers side aren't coming out far enough to engage with the corresponding slots in the boot. I think last time I...

one of my kids (the eldest hasn't owned up and the youngest can't talk yet) pushing a one pence piece into SD slot 1? About 30 minutes to remove and it's killed the slot too "Hello Audi, my SD slot suddenly doesn't work" Grrrrr

Lots of sat navs lifted from Audis in my area, but not just portable units: Nottinghamshire Police – Thieves target in-built sat navs Looks like built in stuff is going as well. I have the HDD version and I would have thought this would be high on the list of things to steal but I also...

I initially thought it was Car 1 Pheasant 0 but it appears to be more of a score draw. I need the clip in "vent" and fog light holder for the near side front bumper. Where to buy online? Preferably that has a diagram so I can check I'm getting everything I need. Front bumper looks a pig to...

OK , so quick catch up on where I am with my Audi. Bought from Gilders Sheffield, numerous arguments about paint finish culminating in me commissioning an independent paint report and Gilders finally fixing it, after around 6 attempts. Inbetween this I bought a Megs Tech Wax kit from Halfords...

Well now I finally have my car back from useless Gilders I've had it all of three days and it's already randomly opened the rear tailgate twice on me overnight. Luckily I reverse the car into the drive so it's not immediately obvious so passers by. Can't find anything on this anywhere on the...

So... picked up the car in my sig last week, started reading this forum with interest, always having used sponge and chammy in the past I thought I'd give the mitt and cloth a go, and at the same time following some positive feedback on here I got some of the NXT car shampoo and tech wax...

Going to look at this on Friday (A4 S-Line Avant quattro), not had an Audi before, has anybody got any tips for what I should look out for? I've driven the manual already and liked the car but setting off in first seemed a bit odd, plus I'm getting old, so going to try the Tip. Used Audi A4...
