lucky !!! it must be facelift models then. pre faceift hate led with vengeance throwing out errors and led flash every 30+ seconds as system is checking for faulty bulbs... 

Blacks a nightmare, I said I would never have a black car again due to the amount of time needed to keep it clean, but when I get round to doing it its deffo worth it as it looks fantastic.

Iv worked in car sales and service so I feel your pain! 

The hours were a killer!! 

Yeah my last 2 roles nearly drove me to leaving the industry with all the hours but in a 40 hour/5day week with every Sunday off now so have it pretty good at the moment lol

Car Salesman  Been with Ford and Mazda and now with a used car superstore which I've started today.  Not something I ever picture myself doing being a retail manager in the past but great fun, moneys pretty decent and lots of toys to play with. 

Hi Mark,

Your A6 looks fantastic.  How you enjoying it?

Hi Johnny,

I noticed the other day when I was faffing about on the web tdi tuning are doing a tuning box for that car taking it to around 300 brake.  Maybe worth a shout if you ever need to make a claim on the warranty, you can just take the box off.  Looking at one of these or a remap for my B8.5 with similar engine but not sure what to go for or even if I want that much more power 😂.

HI Gareth,

Latestarter2  Please tell me I'm reading you post correctly because I am looking at some very expensive options of upgrading my sound system in my A4 with concert stereo. Being able to stream via bluetooth will save me a lot of cash as I can stream my nav from my phone music etc...

Cheers mate,

Liam 

Hi Guys,

When I purchased my A4, 6 weeks ago I got a platinum warranty from warranty wise with it, from the dealer.  I thought to be on the safe side id get it in to a local VAG Specialist for a health check to make sure everything was ok.

I have noticed since I got it when at idle and usually after the car has warmed up there was what sound's like little knocks every so often. Ive had the bonnet open to listen to see if I can hear where its coming from and couldn't source it.  

Local Vag specialist done the health check today to recommend DSG gearbox further inspection needed and when I spoke to the tech he suggested it could be a flywheel, its supposedly really common.  He said he road tested the car and it drove fine although he said the car should be more responsive in D and its something that could possibly go a couple of years before a fault occurs. 

I obviously have this warranty for another 4 and bit months do you think I should contact them to get this looked at and do you think will they entertain me when I speak to them?

Thanks,

Liam 

Hi Steve ,

Thanks, I'm enjoying it so far.  Not enjoying the lovely 24mpg though.  Been driving diesels for a while so used to 40+ mpg.  I have a company car so not the end of the world, that gets most of the miles put on it.

Just got the opportunity to give the car a clean to get a picture for you all. 

Anyone know if the Audi DSR can be updated from specialist garages or does it need to be by Audi? 

I work for Mazda at the moment and noticed on some of the digital service records some non dealer garages can update this. 

Hi Guys,

Ill try get some photos up tomorrow for you to see.  Quite happy with it, spent quite a bit of time looking for the right car although I thought it had nav standard being an S-Line plus which it doesn't.  So if any upgrade's are going to be getting done possibly going to look at the alpine head unit upgrade as I believe the MMI retrofit is a bit of an expensive upgrade. 

Hi Guys

Im Liam, just picked up my b8.5 A4 last week. 

First time I've had an Audi and loving it so far.

Just thought I would introduce myself.
