    Good bye A4.

    About 2 years ago I bought myself a 2009 Audi A4 3.0TDI quattro tiptronic, and my time with her has been awesome. Who would have thought that a TDI could sound and go so well. Last week, I spotted her replacement, and this last weekend, I went for a test drive, and signed the papers...

    Painted my wheels

    About 2 weeks ago my car fell into a rather large pot hole turning my front left wheel from round to oval and damaging the tyre (bubbled on the outside sidewall, and torn on the inside sidewall with small shards of wheel embedded in the tyre sidewall) Basically I was diving home on a sunday...

    Gearbox refresh

    My 2009 3.0TDI is starting to feel a little sluggish in the gearbox department (probably due to me pushing 480ft.lb + through the transmission) and I've been thinking of doing some preventative maintenance. Can anyone tell me which version of the ZF-6hp28 is in these cars, so that I can order...

    P1719 error - My experience

    Hey guys, I just wanted to share my experience with this error. There is not much on the web related to Audi and this error, but one thread was right here on this forum. LINK Now my experience was different and my code was slightly different too. The error I got was 3 days after remapping the...

    VCDS Logging my 3.0 TDI

    I need to do logging on my 3.0TDI. I've done logging before on my petrol cars with no issues, but am struggling a little on the diesel. I can't find requested and actual boost. The closest I could find was "Charge are pressure" specified and actual. Is this boost? Also, does anyone know why...

    Spacers

    I'm running OE 19" and 255/35 tyres on my B8 with OE sport suspension. I have no intention of going lower, but I'm considering spacers to get the wheels to sit more flush with the body. What are the suggestions for front rear? I've heard 10mm front and 15mm rear will work, or is that too much?

    Sluggish tiptronic, what can I check

    I've had the tiptronic 3.0TDI for just over a week now and while commuting to work and back it's seemed fine, but on Friday night I tried a 0-60 and was sorely dissappointed when the time was around 8.3s Link to video. Having looked at the video, it seems the tiptronic box is not engaging...

    Back in an A4

    After a 10 month leave of absense, I'm back in an A4. My previous A4 was a 2008 B7 2.0T multitronic and I was moderately active in the B7 forums. Last week I picked up a 2009 B8 3.0TDI quattro tiptronic. All I can say is I'm loving it. The amount of torque is mind blowing, so much so that as...

    PCV Problem?

    Bit of history first. I had my car serviced about 1800mi ago (2 months) and and at that service they replaced the PCV. About 2 weeks after that service, I started noticing a slight intermittant flat spot at 2000rpm. I don't know if flat spot is the correct term for this, but basically if I had...

    Replacement for the A4

    The time has come to look for a replacement for the A4. My main criteria is that the replacement should be sportier than the A4, yet still offer the same level of refinement. Because of where I live, forced induction is a must. - 2010 S3 with less than 30k miles on the odo - 2010 TT Coupe with...

    2.0T hesitation issues after service.

    My car had it's 56k service 2 weeks ago, and I had complained about the car feeling sluggish, esp on pull off on an incline. I had thought it might have been the multitronic. Got the car back, and they said they replaced a faulty PCV, and the car definately felt better. Last week thursday on...

    Boost Leak questions

    Okay, so I've had my car for almost 2 years now, and have been really happy with it. Took it for a dyno couple of months ago and was making 135kW at the wheels which I thought was pretty standard. No engine mods except for the Carbonio intake. However, over the last while, I've been wondering...

    B7 to B6 "Upgrade"?

    I currently drive a B7 2.0T with 55k on the clock. Still have 6k miles left on Audi Freeway Plan. I may be able to get a B6 S4 Avant in great condition for a good price, but not sure going to a B6 (even if it's an S4) would be a good idea. What do you think?

    silly question, but one I need answered.

    Anyone know the exact diameter (in mm would be great) of the front indicator lens?
