    Which Engine/Box Combination?

    I'm thinking about going back to an estate car again having no need for my van anymore and was wondering what people think is the best combination of engine/gearbox spec? The car will be doing the normal bits of commuting and journeys around the local area with a few longer UK runs and probably...

    Petrol A6 Avants?

    Hopefully it won't be happening for a while but it looks like some time in the fairly near future I'll need to get rid of my current T5 van and replace it with something with a petrol engine in no small part due to the probable extension of the London LEZ meaning that I won't be able to drive to...

    Bumper Service Position?

    I've noticed this weekend that the serpentine belt on my B7 is looking a little sorry for itself and is probably due a change. The front end looks a little short on space to change it and I've read somewhere that you can put the front bumper into a service position. Despite Googling it I can't...

    Castrol Oils On Special At Costco

    If anyone's looking for reasonable priced oil for a service, I've just had a leaflet through the door from Costco. They're doing 4l bottles of Castrol Edge 5W30 for £25.90which is about a tenner cheaper than Euro Car Parts. If it's the same stuff as last time they did this then it meets VW spec's.

    Top End Decoke?

    I've noticed recently that my 97,000 mile Tfsi isn't running as well as it has in the past and I'm wondering whether or not it's worth getting the head decked after reading a few things on here about it. I've noticed that the walnut blasting seems to be popular with some people so I might look...

    Seatbelt Not Returning

    It's not a major issue but it's starting to annoy me! The drivers' seatbelt doesn't recoil properly when I take it off. Is there anything I can do about it apart from get a new seatbelt?

    New Car, New Problems!

    I've finally had a chance to get used to my A4 but I've noticed a couple of problems which I never noticed when I first bought the car. Firstly, the climate control seems to have a mind of it's own! It seems to blow warm pretty much all the time whether running in auto mode or normal mode. If I...

    B7 Avant Locking Wheelnut Key?

    I've just picked up my Avant a couple of days ago but I can't find the locking wheel nut key anywhere. I've looked int he user manual but it doesn't mention where it's kept. Is the key normally in the toolbox in the boot or somewhere else? I'd call the guy I bought the car from but he was going...

    Avant Fuel Consumption?

    I've tried searching this and other forums along with some Googling but don't seem to be able to find any decent fuel economy figures. I'm looking at getting a B7 Avant 2.0 TFSi and was wondering what kind of fuel consumption figures people are getting on these? Figures online seem to vary...

    Petrol Avant Issues?

    After reading up on the B7 A4's on the 'net, it seems that the diesel models suffer with quite a few issues, mainly DMF's, DPF's and oil pump problems but there seems to be very little that I can find about the petrol models. Are there any major issues on the petrol A4's? Is there anything...

    Morning All!

    I've just been searching the 'net for Audi forums as I'm currently looking for one and stumbled across this site! As I say, I'm not an Audi owner at the moment but hopefully that'll change soon enough. I'm searching for an A4 Avant B7 at the moment but as is always the case when you've got...
