Hi just for information I got the timing belt and water pump replaced by local garage in South Wales £525 this summer. Please with job they took a few days but so far all good.

I have a 2019 Avant - the boot space is large plus it came with a proper spare wheel.

My 2016 A4 1.4 TSI Sport passed 100,000 miles today and drives, looks and feels just like it did when I bought it in 2019 with 8.900 miles on the clock. Apart from regular servicing, tyres, wiper blades etc, it has only needed a brake pressure servo and a replacement fuel cap. It is a fantastically comfortable and quiet long distance cruiser and easy exceeds 50 mpg.

Hi everyone, I am the now the gleeful owner of a 2019 A4 Avant - had it a week. However, I’m posting here to show you my model scrapyard diorama in which there are 200+ cars from films and TV, including the Audi from ‘I, Robot’. I show this set up at the Laughton Show in Sussex and will be doing a James Bond special version at the Amberley Museum 24 May 2026.

Hi Steve, sorry to hear of your problem which is not unusual the system is badly designed, I am assuming its the level sensor that is the cause of your problem that is housed in the tank all other sensors/heating elements are in the pipework that runs from the tank, therefore if the tank is depleted get it refilled and at the same time get a level reset done by a VAG specialist as I have a theory thats why they asked you to run it down until it wont start, the wont start bit is activated when the Sensor realises there is not enough adblue, have you any fault codes to offer as that may give some illumination to the problem, as for customer service there is more chance of the Second Coming, if you use a VAG specialist even if you do get it replaced it will be cheaper. Steve.

A waste of time and money.

Hi Rybrook thanks for the info

Pleased to see you have posted a photo which hides the registration number Yvonne. Very wise. Regards, Gareth.

Thomas. If you read the whole thread you will see that Paul Cairney had very similar warning messages to you and that he found a solution.

Any update on this Mark? Such updates will be of help to others in the future.

Apologies for the gripe, but the forum has recently suffered from a spate of what can be termed ‘Post and Run’ new members, who seem to think it’s perfectly acceptable to post a plea for help, and simply not return to view the help given. In a more diluted form, help is offered, but is very rarely acknowledged even via. a simple press of the Like button, leave alone a posted Thank You. The last part of the gripe is that we frequently have to ask for additional information, and this extra detail often never materialises. Please remember, everyone who posts replies do so without payment, but it certainly does cost them in time - in terms of the Moderators and Admin back up - a lot of time. So a special plea to all on here who post needing help:- please be respectful enough to acknowledge any help given, rather than simply accept it as a no-cost, no time of yours, free advice service. It’s wearing thin folks, so if you want to retain this service, please respect and acknowledge its benefits. Thank you all for reading this, and above all, agreeing to adhere to the respect that is needed to be shown. Kind regards, On behalf of the Moderators. Please note:- This request is to all members, not just new ones. p.s. Please avoid using non specific locations such as U.K., England etc. etc.
