    09 Plate Avant - Wheel Arch Rust!

    I have noticed that on both front wheel arches of my A4 Avant S-Line there is 'bubbling' under the paintwork that if not treated soon will blister and flake away. I'm surprised at this to be honest and wondered if Audi have some sort of bodywork warranty that I might be able to get this sorted...

    Resetting ECU with ignition key

    I heard today from a garage that it is possible to reset the ECU by a combination of turning the ignition on and off 5 times (or something like that), this enables the ECU to 'forget' and clear any faults that have been cleared suing vagcom. Anyone else heard of this method?

    DPF - Pressure Sensor.......

    So the last week I have had problems with my 2.0 TDi S-Line, mainly the yellow emissions light on the dash. I dreaded the DPF saga but took the car in to a local non audi garage who I have used for years. Firstly they cleared the code and ran a forced regen and sent me off to see how i got on. 2...

    Front Parking Sensor Fail?

    When I put my car into reverse one of the front sensors has recently started constantly beeping as though there is an object there. I have made sure the sensor is clean and checked the cable in the back is clipped in which it appears to be. Is it possible the sensor has failed and if so, is it...

    No oil level indicator!?

    I have just had a service & MOT carried out on my 2.0 A4 Avant SLine at a local non Audi garage. Driving the car this weekend I've noticed the oil level indicator is no longer showing info on the display as it used to. I'm now seeing this - Any idea why this is and is it an easy fix if I take...

    Wingmirrors - Not demisting?

    I have noticed in this colder weather that my wing mirrors do not seem to be demisting. Is there a dedicated fuse or something for the wing mirrors that could have blown? Could it be something else obvious? I have posted in another thread that the rear window takes a very long time to demist -...

    Rear Parking Sensor Volume

    My car has front & rear sensors and I am sure in the past when reversing if I had music playing the volume of the music would automatically reduce (if it was playing loud) so the beeps of the sensor was more prominent. I have noticed of late this is not happening. Am i imagining this or is it a...

    I have a A4 Avant 2.0 S Line diesel (177bhp) and currently have Michelin pilot sport 3 fitted all round. I find my front wheels at the moment are slipping loads from stand still acceleration.

    Avant rear screen demister

    I have noticed of late the demister on my rear screen takes longer to demist. All the bars work but seem to be very 'slow' activating. I'm sure they never used to be like this. Any ideas?
