Glad you're happy with it :) should be a lovely car :)

You're welcome :) Very nice :)

Hi Nizam, The old rule of thumb was what ever the manufacturer implied take atleast 10mpg off it. I'd suspect that around town youd be getting g low 30s and obviously a mixture of driving this may go up to mid 40s at a guess. Cheers Steve

Not a problem Paul, see you at simply Audi :) once I hear anything more about this cruise then I'll let you know :)

You're welcome :) Hmm, well if it's the EGR/ EGR cooler than this could be expensive to fix. When I worked at volkswagen in the service department it would cost over £1k to fix sorry to say. Here's the link to the Audi website to help with regard to the emissions recall: https://www.audi.co.uk/owners-area/emissions/check-your-car.html Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I'm assuming you're looking at getting a mk1 TT? As you are considering a auto it'll be a DSG auto. It's worth checking to see when the gearbox oil was changed and that the gears change smoothly both in manual and auto modes. With regard to quattro, it's a great system but can be sensitive and can be damaged by things such as uneven Tyre wear or mis-matched tyres on the same axle. So it's important to check that it's working. The major recall on the early mk1 TT was the instrument cluster which would fail and I suspect it should have been carried out on any TT you are looking at. Naturally it is very important that the cluster is working as replacements can cost up to £2k. Here's a YouTube video which may help: Cheers Steve

Hi Alan, are you looking for a debadge grill or normal grill? Also for the heads up, I believe l the RS grills don't fit. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Andy, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) My first port of call would be to get the battery checked to see how healthy it is (halfords can offer this service). I suggest this because once a battery starts to fail it can throw up various electrical issues. The normal life span of a battery is 5-7 years so you could be due a new one if you haven't had one already. In failing that it would be worth getting a diagnostic check carried out to see what fault codes flag up. Hope I've helped. Cheers Steve

I do hope the issue gets sorted Ken and sorry you've been put off the brand. Cheers Steve

Audi have released pictures of what they believe to be the future of transportation. It starts out as an autonomous car which has a drink on.the roof which has the capability to lift the passenger compartment! Naturally this technology is many years away of becoming a reality but it is interesting to see how the auto manufacturers are trying to help relieve the traffic congestion problems. What do you think? Here's the link: https://www.topgear.com/car-news/future-tech/heres-your-autonomous-flying-audi-future Pictures taken from.the Topgear article.

Hi Alex, I would suspect at 140k your clutch is on it's way out and I believe it is the clutch and flywheel that need to be replaced together. My best advice would be to ring around local garages to get quotes. This especially if you are considering taking your a4 to Audi. You may find they may have offers on.for changing the clutch as they do with the cambelt and water pump in some cases. Cheers Steve

Hmm, ok. Well.if it's not the handling or tyres then I wonder what it is. Does the noise happen at specific speeds, road conditions etc?

Welcome to the forum Edward, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Well the light could be to do with DPF. Did you take it for a good motorway run once you.heaed it could be the DPF. Also do you know if you have had the emissions recall carried out, and if so when? My other advice would be to get a diagnostic check carried out to see what fault codes flag up. Cheers Steve

Bad news all, the organisers of this meet and cruise have prosponed it due to a family event arising. However they are going to rearrange the event in the summer. I'll keep you all posted when I get the new date. Cheers Steve

Nice one Mark! I'll add you to the list :) Cheers Steve

Ah, fair doos Paul. Did you day you had a new one for us? Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Michael, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) What a second car! You ha e done well, and I'm.not surprised you can't wait to collect it :) Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum David, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Cheers Steve

Glad I could help :) just to add my personal experience, the last 5 cars that have been bought by my family including m, my wife and both my parents have cone from main dealers as approved used. The last 2 cars bought from independent garages cost alot more in repairs as more things went wrong with them. Well the theory was, buyer's wanted 4x4 for winter conditions (ie snow and ice) and in the spring/summer buyer's wanted convertibles. There maybe some truth in this but it's less obvious now due to the popularity of SUVs. Cheers Steve
