Hello everyone - I'm in the market for a B8 Allroad - there arent many out there to my spec, petrol, auto, preferably with dark interior. I'm not too bothered about external colour. I've got £7.5-8K to spend. My real question is about audio systems - particularly Bluetooth audio. In my 2007 A4 Convertible I bought a module that plugged into a spare port in the glove-box that enabled BT audio, I think it was spoofing the CD Changer? What are the options on a 2009-2011 spec Allroad? (Thats the age that comes up within my budget). All the cars seem to have different options, and hardware in the dash. (Im trading in my W204 C250 CDI, which has a USB powered 3.5mm jack plug BT module, that is the minimum want - I really dont want to have an AUX lead - in fact, my phone no longer has a 3.5mm jack plug! Cheers me dears. J5C

My apologies, I thought it was the rubber bits for your trolley jack you was after.

Instrument cluster failure is well known on the 8p. If you've bought it from a dealer then get it back to them asap.

Please keep us posted on how you get on

My brother and friend have used powerflow exhausts and been happy with the results.

My own dealership actively distanced themselves from Audi and appeared concerned they wouldn't be paid for extended warranty work. As a result all my negotiations went through Audi Executive Office as the dealership stepped back. I had to pay the full cost up front. Some of the cost was reclaimed through a third party warranty before Audi finally took my complaint seriously.

Hi. I have recently purchased a lovely 2017 S6 with 62k miles Its far too quite for my me and I am thinking of either a middle resonator delete, replaced with an x pipe, or a full cat back system. I have seen a Scorpion exhaust within my price range, and also Milteks, but they are slightly over budget. Does anyone have any recommendations of any other brands? If I just go for the middle resonator delete, I have seen an x pipe by ECS and 034 motorsport for about £450. Does anyone on here have those fitted? If so, how do they sound. I don't want anything too loud, but I want to be able to hear a bit more of the V8 than I can at the moment. Also, does anyone know anything about the active sound and what actually happens when you put the engine noise in Dynamic, as I cant hear any difference. I don't think its a valved exhaust, as I cant hear them opening or closing Thanks Dan

So, update on the gearbox issues. It’s been very intermittent. Done it on Thursday and has been fine since. At mechanics here. Said it could be the gearbox oil needs changed as it’s approaching 70k miles. I told him I changed the oil at 65k but just got it at the motor factors. He said that may not have been the right oil and always goto Audi. Got a long wait as the won’t give me a courtesy car 😢

Thanks for that, I've ordered one so lets hope this one works !

Is there a reliable seller? especially someone not on eBay? They look like they’re in the 35-45 pound ballpark for a piece of plastic, seems a bit exorbitant?

It’s the plastic insert in the car chassis that a Jack fits into, I’ve never had a car where these need replacing

Thanks Spartacus, it was something like that! The tag on the underside of the connector has to be pulled outwards, it simply bends a bit and detaches a tiny latch inside. Awkward little blighter but all done now, contacts sprayed (they looked a bit green) and problem has gone away.

Tons of them on Fleabay & Amazon, all pretty cheap.

As would be air filter changes.

Audi dealer.

I am intrigued. What are rear jack inserts?

Take it back to the dealer for a refund before the 30 day limit expires.

Hi DieSel-Q I think it is a great shame that some customers have not had the free of charge repair. Dealers should proactively check current issues reported by customers in case they are covered. Whilst it certainly pays to do some research on the Gov Website shown above and present the evidence to the dealer’s service department, it should not be something that is necessary.

Pretty sure it’s chain, not cam belt, and quick scan of that Audi package, does not include brake fluid changes, that would be extra.

To be fair I think that's not too bad for a price. Does include brake fluid changes and AC cleans etc? Don't forget you could be due a cambelt change soon if it's not been done already.

That's a good point, it could be.

Oops! Wrong tree barked up. Fair point made re you are happy to put your trust in them, and that’s all that matters. Just as a matter of interest, is your vehicle still running on its 8 year old air filter? Audi were only changing it when it reached 45K.
