    Screwfix do one for £49.99 which looks exactly like the one I use and it has been fine. There are also some electric pumps around but I have not tried any.

    2017 2.0 ltr tfsi b9 oil and undertray removal.

    Bu the OP said that is what is recommended in his handbook - not a lot of difference between a synthetic 5-30 or 5-40 tbh.

    2017 2.0 ltr tfsi b9 oil and undertray removal.

    Agreed an oil extractor is the easiest cleanest way, as for the oil I would us a 5-40 502 spec either Castrol Edge, Mobil 1 or Shell helix.

    Questions about future car(?)

    Over the 5 year ownership of my B8.5 S4 I reckon servicing averaged out at about £200 per annum at the main dealer, tyres around 16-18000 miles and fuel economy about 30mpg ( mid 30s motorway mid 20s town and don’t ask if pressing on). Ignoring depreciation etc I found it a relatively cheap car...

    B9 S4 (Petrol) to ‘similar’ spec B9 RS4....worth the spend ?

    Audi seem to provide comprehensive cover, Car Care Plan may be worth looking at but like a lot of these insurances some mixed reviews.

    Oil top up advice - how much?

    I’m not sure about a dip stick on your motor - most don’t anymore so probably not, half a litre should be fine.

    Oil top up advice - how much?

    I would be wary of the App mine is showing low yet the car shows full. Any oil meeting vw504 spec should be fine.

    Good luck with the decision - might be worth showing your other half a picture of both colours and seeing which she prefers

    yourAudi - Track New Car Order

    I don’t think anyone can really decide for you but personally I would wait for the car and colour that I really wanted, my car was ordered incorrectly to start with and I could have had a substitute but I am really glad I waited - hope this at least helps with the decision

    I agree about the lane assist but the cruise control works ok - only(!) £1250 option on the RS4
