Hi All, I am a new poster to this group and was just after some feedback / advice from owners. I recently picked up a 2011 Audi A4 Avant S Line 3.0TDI Quattro. Lovely car but I am already finding that the MPG figures were well under what I had expected. Don't get me wrong I wasn't expecting to be pulling in 55MPG or anything, but I am lucky to be getting 35MPG at the moment and that is driving it very cautiously. Its a 61 litre tank, after doing 84 miles I thought I would top it up to see what I had used, 13 litres! That's around 30MPG by my reckoning and I haven't drove it quickly either (I wanted to see what returns I could get and I'm past the days of racing)! I do a lot of motorway miles so was hoping for a lot better than that. Does anyone have any advice on how I can try and improve these figures? Or should I be expecting this? I bought it as a bigger family car but was expecting to be returning around 40-45MPG day to day and I am worried if this carries on it will cripple me! I look forward to any feedback or advice you could give me. Cheers, Shaun

Hi my a5 was code red the other day and has some faults stored on the ecu. The heater plugs are not working. Suspect the relay. Also the egr was on there to possibly failed or blocked. What i want to know is would the regen cycle stop because of these faults stored, causing the dpf to block up. Im going to have alook further into the egr and then take it off an clean it if the flow is insuffient. Just not sure about the glow plugs if this would stop the car regening

My a5 has developed a crunch in 3rd gear. Its a manual. Is the syncro in the gearbox a common fault on them? Also does anyone know the gearbox code
