  1. Hi John,

    Sorry to hear of your expensive engine problems,

    but i do think that Audi should have advised you that the timing

    belt was due change at 5 years. my car has been serviced with

    Audi from new, and on the bottom of the last 2 service invoices

     leading up to the car being 5 years old, it states that the

    timing belt/water pump is due change at that time.

    Please keep us informed of the outcome

    Brian.

  2. Hi,

    I used to live in the highest village in Scotland for many years,

    driving an A4 FWD, we had some very bad snowfalls, I always

    had 2 spare wheels fitted with winter tyres, which I fitted to the

    front about November time, I found that with these tyres on, the

    car would go through very deep snow without a problem,

    believe me, they are well worth the extra expense.

    hope this helps

    Brian.

  3. Good Morning,

    Th extended warranty on my A4 Allroad b9 2017 tdi,, is due to expire on the

    15/11/22. the car has only covered 27,000 miles in 5 years, and has been serviced by Audi 

    main dealer since new.  I am pondering whether to take out  (Audi all in one)  at £719.00.

    or just have the car serviced  by an independent Audi garage in future (who I trust) .

    Your thoughts on this matter please.

    Brian.

  4. Chris,

    I took the outside route, if you are careful, you can remove

    the black plastic surround without breaking it, on mine there are

    4 indentations in the plastic, (2 top/2at the bottom, you would need to

    cut a small slot in each one, then insert a screwdriver to prize

    the trim out.

    best of luck which ever way you go.

    Brian.

  5. Hi Chris,

    I have a 2017 A4 b9. I had the same problem earlier this year

    ( the fuel flap would not stay shut)

    I think you will find, that you have to remove the complete plastic

    moulding surrounding the fuel filler cap, to gain access to the

    locking mechanism, as you cannot gain access from inside the

    boot. try looking on u tube to see how it's done.

    Brian.
