hi guys and girls,
I thought I’d come and say hello.

Been on the forum for a few years with my A3’s
But decided to upgrade to an A4 Avant B8.5

Oh, yes! Forget nought to sixty, sometimes I think nought to three car-lengths is the most important stat of all. :)

Too right mate. Mine went into the garage for a new EGR valve and they loaned me a FWD A4, found it very easy to spin the front wheels

Same here... gets a lot worse if you're climbing out of an underground car park, even if it's only drizzling...

Getting some errors and going into limp mode every time I do a long trip... did they change yours under warranty or did they actually charge you?

Had an A6 a couple of years ago. Replaced it with an MB then a Jag. Nothing measured up

They changed mine as it was leaking. I'd only had the car a month. Independent not a main dealer

A 'leaking' EGR Valve?
As in the seal was defective and the exhaust fumes were leaking, right?

Hi & welcome. I've had my B8.5 225bhp 2.0TFSi S-Line Black Edition since June. Love it, had an A1 before it.

No it was dripping oil. Still not quite sure why as I'm pretty sure it doesn't have an oil supply.....

Thank you, I’ve had the B8.5 2.0 TDI 177bhp for just over 2 weeks now.
Absolutely love the car. I had 2 A3’s previously.
