    Interior Carbon Fibre Trims - Differences?

    From the pictures I've seen I prefer the RS4 weave so am looking for those again. Had a set lined up but there was a small amount of damage on the driver door trim so was in two minds. While I was considering it someone else bought then instead...was at a great price though! I'm still on the...

    2.0tdi mpg

    Sorry guys, you seemed to miss my sarcasm there! I most definitely didn't have tyres inflated to 60psi. Was a joke comment regarding my sudden jump of a 6-10mpg increase driving the same route. Only difference was that I had checked my tyre pressures and added a small amount of air (up to 34psi...

    2.0tdi mpg

    Had a good mpg return today on my drive home from work: 15 miles (6 miles B roads, 7 miles motorway, 2 miles 30mph), took 26 mins according to the DIS and I managed a peak average of 46.4mpg and was parked with 45.7mpg. The last mile home is uphill so struggled to maintain >46mpg. This was on my...

    My new (to me) B7 Avant

    Looking good! Definitely need to get mine debadged asap. I was in two minds about it as I like my Quattro badge but today an 07 avant past me with a debadged rear followed by a B8 A4 with badges. The badges definitely cluttered up the rear! Liking the front plate filler too. Think I need to...

    Your Opinions on these Advisories

    Some good replies here! I'm definitely planning the RS4 ARB but some matching engine mounts sound good too. Do the mounts match up to any engine or do different engines use different mounts? Thanks, Camster.

    Looking for a pic of an A4 Avant with 19" Rotars

    Looks great with the new wheels! If you ever plan to sell them let me know :yes:

    Looking for a pic of an A4 Avant with 19" Rotars

    I really like those wheels. Pulled up alongside an A6 with them the other day and had a wee look over. Spotted his 20" tyres (whatever size that would make the wheels??). Thought about asking if he fancied a swap with my OEMs bit decided against it, haha. If I was to change my wheels I'd...

    Avant, wheel spacers......someone must be able to give a straight answer

    I can second this. My other car (Mitsi GTO - not working!) had a vibration at motorway speeds when I bought. Thought it had badly worn tyres or a weight or two had fallen off so didn't think it would be anything too serious. Bought it and drove it home. Changed brake pads a few days later and...

    2.0tdi mpg

    Good to hear the other Quattros are in the mid-30s as well. Means mine must be about right, though I do try to drive gently/smoothly most the time so would still like better, haha! Was on a fast B road today and driving consistent got me a 40mpg average over 40-50miles. Speeds less than 40mph...

    2.0tdi mpg

    My 2.0TDI (170) Quattro shows an average of around 33-35mpg on the dis. When I do shorter journeys it can vary from 30mpg if on slower roads to 40mpg if I'm on faster roads and keep the engine consistent. I use an app on my phone as well, I've only had 3 full tanks recorded so far. First was...

    DTM register / owners thread

    That DTM looks great in the yellow! I planned to get an Avant and am happy with my one so far but if I was to change it I'd definitely consider a DTM!

    Interior Carbon Fibre Trims - Differences?

    Wrapping is definitely a great option and is very cheap to do, however, if there is an OEM alternative then that is what I try and find. The CF wrap does look good though, as does the hydrodipping as well. Thanks.

    Oil quantity between min/max on dipstick.

    So if the difference between min and max is 1 litre and the amber low level light comes out at minimum then 1 litre of oil is required?? Like I said, dipstick had about 2/3rds on it, a week later the amber light came on and then I put 0.5 litres in so it must be about right assuming my level...

    Oil quantity between min/max on dipstick.

    Thanks guys, it was just a bit concerning to know that it was below the max line, but not by much and then after only a few days or so the amber low level light came on. Don't think it would have dropped by 1/2 to 2/3rds on the dipstick in that time. Definitely no signs of any obvious leaks bar...

    Oil quantity between min/max on dipstick.

    Hi guys, Was wondering if anyone knows how much engine oil is needed to top up to max on the dipstick from the min mark, on a 2.0TDI (170) (Quattro), and when (on the dipstick?) does the amber low oil level light come on? Checked mine about a week ago and my level was around 2/3rds or so...

    Avant S Line

    Hmm, that doesn't sound good! I've heard you can just pull from the front but it'll break the clips. I was thinking of using a sharp knife and trying to press the clips in and then pull it to stop them from breaking. Did the S Line badges leave much residue? I've got badges ready to go but due...

    Avant S Line

    Looking good. I've got the same badges waiting to go on mine and dechroming headlights is on my list of things to do. Did you get the Audi badge off from the front? And did any of the clips break? I might do mine tomorrow if it ever stops raining. Will try and not break any of the clips. Have...
