  1. Hello, I have a 2017 Audi A4 1.4 TFSI with a Peter Vardy Warranty, that's coming to an end soon. I saw on the Audi website that they have an extended warranty that you renew every 12 months. It's valid up to 100,000 miles, but it doesn't talk about the age of the car, anyone have any idea about this, will my car be eligible, if you happen to have it, what's been your experience with the warranty? Thanks
  2. Does the electronic handbrake in Audis prevent roll back on a hill? My Audi A4 B9 1.4 Manual does not have the autohold (A) button. However on hills, the electronic handbrake only releases when the power reaches a certain level where I won't rollback.
  3. Hi, last year I bought a used A4 B9 Sport TFSI When I bought the car there was slight damage to the front fender (images uploaded) where the fender didn’t align with the bumper, it was hard to notice in person and I just left it. Last week my AC’s condenser was leaking and I got that repaired under warranty, however when it came to putting the car back together, the fender wouldn’t go back on. So the dealer agreed to replace the entire fender, and that’s been done, was all good for a few days till today. Now whenever I open my door, Kapow! A loud popping noise, seems like it’s from the fender. Guess I’ll take it back to the dealer and see what they do However I’m starting to worry that my car has been in an unrecorded accident, I don’t even know if this is the right forum to post this in, but any thoughts would be great, I doubt I’d get anywhere this theory since the car wasn’t written off. I’ve posted a picture of my engine bay as well just to ensure nothing seems out of the ordinary Thanks,
  4. Hello, it does not bead. See I'm fairly unlucky with cars lol so my other car also has a leak. I decided to pour water over both the leaks to see what happens. The one with the beading is my 2nd car, the one without is my Audi. I thought oil and water don't mix and will bead. Does this mean it's not oil? Thanks
  5. Right my issue is so weird, when I just listen to music, it's perfectly fine, did weeks of just music via USB and no issues. But whenever I plug in my phone for android auto and listen to music via usb at the same time, they both just cut out about 10-15 minutes into the journey. They come back randomly but then cut out again, it might take a few hours or even a day for them to come back sometimes. After coming back, if I only have the USB in, then it's perfectly fine, but if I have both in, then they both cut out again shortly... I'm just relying on the Audi maps for now. A bit annoying.
  6. Few more pics with one closer towards the centre of the car (seems like nothing is stained there) Any idea on what the yellow substance could be? Going to take it back to Petervardy soon (Hopefully they don't try to escape away from it) They gave me a 0 advisory MOT in November.
  7. Will take it in and do that for sure Do you know what that part is? Is it just a cover? The tray which appears to be stained. Thanks,
  8. 2017 A4 1.4 Sport TFSI (50k on the clock) I I've noticed this stain on my driveway, it's been there for a while now and never really got time to get round to it. I've taken some photos Any help/advice would be great, I have 0 CLUE about anything like this, I have no clue what component that is or anything. But that tray thing looks stained. Thanks
  9. My old Chevy Cruze did this, bought an A4 for that reason I took it to 3 different mechanics and none of them could figure out what was wrong. Don't wanna scare anyone, but good luck.
  10. Is it just Android Auto? Can you play music via USB?
  11. My A4 B9 Sport has front and rear parking sensors and the triangle camera thing on the windshield. I've had the pre sense beep and symbol come on the gauge cluster a few times. What I'm wondering is, can the A4's of this specification brake if we get too close to an object whilst reversing? Thank you
  12. Hello, I was on a road trip with Android auto plugged in using google maps whilst listening to music using a USB Stick. Suddenly my Android auto cut out and the usb stopped reading (says can’t read or whatever in the MMI), the phone’s charging keeps disconnecting and connection whilst it’s plugged in. I think android auto appeared again after I plugged it in again then cut out after another few mins… Any ideas? I have a 3 year warranty with PeterVardy Carz so can take it there if necessary, but is it needed?
  13. Guys is it possible to turn of the active steering and only keep the audible warning?
  14. Hello, I have the 1.4 A4 and I've just read that they stopped producing the 1.4 150, and the 2.0 150 is what they expect most people to buy. Now I'm just curious, they both have similar hp and 0-60 times, the 1.4 has better mpg and lower tax, then why did they discontinue this engine on the A4? Is it unreliable? Thanks,
  15. Hello, I’ve recently activated lane assist via OBD11 and it works fine, however… I did some researching before and read that if I have a button at the end of the stalk, I can turn off lane assist, I looked at my car, saw that it had the button at the end of the stalk, and activated it… I’ve only just realised that I had been looking at the button at the end of the cruise control stalk and not the indicator stalk‍🤦‍♂️ So I could turn it off via OBD for another £20, or is it fine to just keep it as it is? Does anyone use lane assist without the stalk? Had any dangerous situations? I am paranoid about the car veering me off the road on like a small country road. Any advice? Thank you
  16. Hello, so I have the camera on my windshield and have the multifunction cruise control stalk. I can activate the lane keep warning via OBD, which should work. However, can I also activate the lane assist steering support? Where the car will pull back into the lane? Or does that require like additional motors etc? Thanks
  17. Yup ty, aw thought I could change the colour lol. But settings only has the option to change the brightness. I think that's another option
  18. Haven’t picked up the car yet, but I noticed that my cup holders were illuminated on the test drive. Does that mean my car has the LED interior lighting package? Is that standard on sport? Does this mean the door panel is illuminated too?
  19. Hi, I bought a B9 Audi A4 Sport 1.4 TFSI The SE trim was also the same price but the sport sounded nicer lol. Heard it has lower springs etc, how does that affect the ride? Anything else that's different compared to the SE? I think the seats are also different, but are they generally more comfortable? I've also noticed my car has a piano black trim running across the dash under the ac vents. But literally every other A4 I look at online has the silver trim?
