I had this, first time it was a blocked pickup/strainer which was replaced with a revised version which is less prone to clogging. Had it again a year later and that time the oil pump had disintegrated. New oil pump was beaucoup dollars. The former is much more likely though, especially if...

Well the solution was laughably simple in the end. It suddenly occurred to me while driving home from work tonight. Disconnected my phone from the car's Bluetooth and it then allowed me to delete contacts or the whole phone book.

I posted this once before, some time back, but have never really got to the bottom of it. Basically the voice-controlled bluetooth system in my A4 won't allow me to delete or edit any numbers. I can store new voice-activated contacts using the 'store name' command, but if I say 'delete name' or...

I've had 48mpg on a long-ish run from my petrol 2.0TFSI, although I was sticking to 50mph (or just over)

Well I had my MoT yesterday, so I got the guy to have a quick look into the air con issue while he had the car. It's not a refridgerant leak, as the system has plenty of pressure. The compressor and clutch are also spinning, so those seem OK. And the LP sensor seemed OK too, it's getting power...

Thanks, I'll have a look. I assume there's a fair bit of labour involved too, plus regassing costs etc?

Urrrgh. Thanks for the good luck wishes. I don't have a good feeling about this though! If its not a cheap fix (and if hitting it with a hammer fails) then I think it'll be bye bye audi, as this'll be the second four-figure repair bill on this car in a year or so. Think I might go back to Fords...

Thanks guys. Will get it checked at Kwik Fit first then. Really hoping it's not a seized compressor, as I'm guessing they're a) not repairable, and b) very expensive to replace.

Just as the warm weather's returned, my air con stopped working this morning :( It's been behaving a bit strangely for the last 3-4 weeks, whereby for the first few minutes after starting the car, the vents would sometimes blow hot air unless the system is set to LO. In other words, just...

Same here, couldn't believe the difference when I had mine replaced. I reckon it was down about 50bhp with the knackered DV.

I got a Rev.D part from ebay last year, about £45 I think. Made a huge difference to performance.

4 Tesco value tyres here. Had no choice as I'm skint at the moment and all 4 needed doing last month. Never really been a tyre connoisseur anyway though.

Sorry to hear this. IMO the punishment for stuff like this should be the same as in some arab countries - cut their hands off (and maybe a few other bits too). Hopefully every cloud has a silver lining and you end up with an even nicer Audi than the last one :)

Thanks guys. To clarify, I could never get the phonebook on my iPhone to sync with the in-car thing, so it's not that one. It's just contacts that I've added by voice, using the 'Store name' command.

Hi all Has anyone else had problems trying to delete/edit numbers from the Audi bluetooth phonebook? I can add them just fine, but if I try and amend or delete any, the bluetooth lady proudly says "Function not possible". I wondered if there was some sort of PIN code protection on it, but I've...

As a fellow owner of a 55 plate high mileage TFSI Quattro, these are the issues I've had with mine. I bought it in Nov 11 with 108k miles, it's now done 130k. Paid £5k at time of purchase. DV knackered when car purchased Air bag light came on (had to do the pretensioner wiring fix under...

I can second that. I bought a set of Halfords ones about 4 months ago and already they're wearing out. Utter cr@p, and proves the old adage of 'Buy cheap, buy twice'.

I get about 25 around town from my TFSI quattro, or 32ish on a long run. The highest figure I've seen on the display is 48mpg, but that was with the cruise control set to 50mph on a motorway journey.

Yeah that was my reaction too, once they'd picked me up off the floor. For weeks afterwards I had to stop myself thinking about all the other things I could've spent £1,700 on! I thought the garage were ripping me off so I rang the local Audi dealer myself, only to be given the same price. The...

A replacement pump from Audi was around £900 + VAT a few months ago when mine failed. Cambelt has to come off too, so should be replaced at the same time, those aren't expensive though. Labour-wise it was about 6 hours from memory.
