Hi everyone! Looking for an Audi A4 B6 Avant Quattro with the 1.9 PD130 engine for sale. Ideally located in Scotland or north of England as I myself am located in north east Scotland. Been keeping an eye out on Gumtree, Ebay, Autotrader and various other online car sale websites for a while now and can't seem to find one up for sale. Lots of saloon quattro B6's but not an Avant which I'm after. If anyone's got one for sale or knows anybody that has got one for sale can you please let me know. My email address is marcin9005@gmail.com or just post it down below. Thanks a lot!

Hi, complete newbie to the site and just hoping for some help with a strange issue. Firstly, after hours of searching I can’t seem to find anyone who has the same problem as I’m getting, so seems rare. My cars has just had a MeyleHD full suspension kit fitted, plus new coil overs. about 3 months after this my car failed mot on the front upper control arms, mainly the rear ones. They literally moved up and down a CM in the socket of the upright. So these were replaced for another pair of control arms, same thing happened 3 months later, passed mot when fitted but failed again inside 3 months. Loose in the ball joint socket. Note that the ball joints themselves have not failed, the arm itself is moving where the pinch bolt should have grabbed it. Has anyone had anything like this? Or any ideas on how to overcome without buying new uprights?... Any help would be greatly appreciated as everywhere I look I hit a dead end :/ -

Hi all, Need to buy a new car, shortened my search all the way down to an A4. Have been asking Audi owners what they think etc, and some family members who are petrol heads. I just want to know what I should be looking out for when buying an A4, my price range is round £5k, manual, petrol and under 100kmiles. Have found some interesting results online and missed a couple good ones. Preferably 3 owners or less. Would really appreciate all the advice I can get. Thanks a bunch! Raphael.

Hi everyone, I've owned 11 VAG from new, so very familiar with the drivetrain tech, but have mainly bought hot hatch Golfs, Sciroccos and Polos in that time (both petrol and diesel). Looking to do a considerable upsize to an A4 Avant with the 190TDI "40" engine. I've previously bought new because there's been better deals on new than nearly new cars of that size (most bought with private money rather than being fleet/company cars). However, looking at pre-reg and nearly new prices, there are big discounts to be had because few people buy these cars new with their own money. Anyone recommend best prices and place to get them for 2019/2020 models? RRP looks a bit tricky if going for Quattro. Seems you only need to have metallic paint optioned to be stung for the Luxury road tax rate if getting a Quattro. Not sure I need Quattro, only had 4WD on 1 car previously - my 2015 Golf R, with benefit mainly to reduce 0-62 times by eliminating tramping. Anything to look out for/avoid e.g. is S-line suspension cripplingly brittle on the A4? I'm used to 18"/19" wheels on hot VWs with no adaptive suspension specced, but always had the impression that like-for like Audis have harder suspension e.g. S3 vs Golf R. Thanks! Matt

Hello everyone, in desperate help as I cannot find it anywhere, I have an Audi a4 b7 with a k04 hybrid conversion. It's has a decat downpipe system on it and need to find a cat downpipe for emissions but haven't had luck finding a K04 downpipe for my car! I cry for help and I'm grateful if anyone can help me!

Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I found out about it because I bought an Audi A4 convertible last summer, and have recently been having some issues that I cannot figure out. I'm hesitant to bring it to a garage because 1) i think it will be expensive even to diagnose and 2) its COVID19 isolating times and 3) my friend is a mechanic and is willing to give it a try but he's not keen to do the research! So just a couple of weeks ago, my battery completely died, and I knew it was old, so my mechanic friend replaced it for me. He does not know how to reset the computer, if that is an issue. Everything seemed fine though, so whatever. The next day I took the car out for spin for first time in ages, and put the top down cuz it was a gorgeous day. When I returned home, the top would not close. The hydraulics lifted up the back cover, and then just went kaput, it would not continue the work. The back cover stayed up at 90 degrees. So I operated the top manually a few times, and after that it again started to work, but when it got to the point when the back cover had to lift on its hydraulics, it wouldn't go, just sat there, holding up the progression. Also the switch to operate the roof is a bit funny- it lets me start the process, then it dies. Then if I start it again, it goes for a bit, then dies.... I keep ending up with the roof halfway up. I'm sensing here is something wrong with the hydraulics motor, or a relay, or even a short somewhere? I'm so frustrated because I have hardly gotten to use the car with the top down since I bought it!! I would be grateful if anyone has any similar experiences and solutions to share. I am also desperately seeking the user manual for this articular model, it did not seem to come with the car when I bought it used last year. Thanx in advance!

Hi I’ve been loosing coolant pretty rapidly the past few day’s I can’t see any leaks I’ve changed the expansion tank cap and no difference I’ve changed the oil and it wasn’t milky at all if I put my foot down to about 90 the temp will start to creep up any ideas? Head gasket maybe? I’ve had The garage test the head for leaks twice and there wasn’t any but it seems like I’ve got back pressure in the coolant system.

Hi, I am searching for my first Audi A4 and so far narrowed it down to two versions. I have a few questions if anyone can shed any light. 2016/17 A4 S line 3.0 TDI Quattro 218 bh with under 20k on the clock vs 2017 A4 S line 2.0 TDI 190 bh under 20k are the two of interest. Any input would be great. Main questions: What are the differences between the two in regards to MPG (Mainy urban driving on a daily basis.) I suspect the 3.0 may drink a little more but checking online only a one or two MPG or so more than the 2.0 . What do these cars truly do on MPG ? Is there anyway to verify the mileage ? I would prefer to buy from Audi via the used approved. But haggling seems to have died out in the UK from last time I bought a car. Is there a good time to put an offer in ? Are there any pro's and con's that are of concern between the two. Is there anything else that should be considered. Any advice would be much appreciated and thank you in advance.

tyre replacement AUDI A4 Avant (2019) spare tyre question
Steve335 posted a topic in Audi A4 (B9) Forum
Hi all, I’m new to the forum. I would appreciate your help. I’ve just bought an A4 Avant 40TFSI. It’s a 2019 model, bought used from the local Audi dealer. As most of you know, newer Audis don’t come with a spare wheel (not even a space saver one). The only thing supplied is an inflatable kit which is pretty much useless and it also ruins the tyre if used, which means you have to purchase a new tyre every time you have a puncture. I have asked the dealer if I can order a space-saver tyre. He made some enquiries and the response was: “AUDI are not sure if it’s possible and also if it will even fit, as modifications might be needed. If you have a puncture, call breakdown service!”. Not sure what to think of that… Apparently the reason AUDI have removed the spare tyre is to reduce emissions… I drive a lot for work and it wold be very inconvenient to call breakdown service and wait to be towed to the nearest garage just to repair a puncture. I’d like to be able to put the spare tyre on and carry on with my journey. The tyres are 245/40/R19 (19 inch alloys). I had a look online and it seems that the Hankook T125/70/R19 space saver tyre is the one suited for this size. The only problem is that the boot space is very tight. There is potentially some room if I remove the pump box (which I will happily do if I can fit the spare tyre there), but the rectangular battery might be a problem, as it seems to obstruct the round shape of the tyre. Also, the battery cables run through the grooves and are not easy to move / bend. I took a photo to give you an idea of the space. Before I go ahead and purchase a tyre I wanted to ask if anyone had the same problem and if you have found a solution, i.e if it’s possible to fit a space saver tyre over the battery (and if so, are there any mods or extra components required ). Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Steve

Hi guys, hoping someone could shed some light for me I've recently had a a4 convertible, the roof unlatches and that's about it. I cleaned the bushes on the motor still the same. Done manual reset still nothing. Thing that's got me thinking is I can hear a noise when you put the switch into open which is confusing me a bit. Is the motor gone is it ok? Hope somebody could give some advice. Thanks

Now then guys, wondered if anyone would be interested in an Audi shell that I'm selling, 1250£ for the lot (ONO), it's a 55 plate good condition, only thing wrong with it is that the glove box needs renewing as both clips are broken and the ashtray has come away in the back. Pictures available, email me if interested. Thanks Andy

Hi I have an A4 cabriolet 2.0 TSi 2008 plate. For a while now the car does not start when it displays the self levelling/range headlight symbol. https://images.app.goo.gl/tPyF1TVNe63Ju4oYA If it does eventually start and the symbol disappears, I often have the engine management light on and the EPC light. If I turn the ignition off it often clears it and the car is fine. Other times when it starts the brake warning light comes on. It often happens when parked on slopes. I have tried removing the fuse for the lights, and this worked for a while, but now does not work. Sometimes playing with various switches enables the levelling light to disappear and it starts. Dipstick has lost its rubber seal, this caused the engine management light to be on last but was cleared with a poke or two. The car is currently in a car park as it would not start tonight. Any help greatly appreciated. Mark

Good Evening Ladies & Gents, I’ve noticed my front nearside suspension is creaking. The creaking is becoming more frequent as time goes on and before I begin buying parts I was wondering if anyone has any ideas of where it could be coming from? Also, since this issue has occurred, when driving around 70mph the steering wheel begins to shake. Could this be linked to it as well? Please see the attached video! Thank you! 4B319C1E-01A0-4558-948E-6CBA7B620C3E.MOV

Hi All, I am new to this forum, and i'm writing this to see if anyone can help me diagnose a problem with my car, an Audi A4 B7. The problem i have is that the rear number plate lights are both not working. I previously had LED bulbs in them and randomly they both shut off, which is unusual because if a bulb is bad the one that's bad will turn off. I changed the bulbs for some original halogen ones and still nothing. Only when i start the engine they turn on and the boot must stay closed to keep them on, as soon as i open the boot they both turn off and refuse to come on. Then if close the boot, turn the lights off and on again from the inside switch, absolutely nothing. I then looked for a fuse and couldn't find one, i removed the comfort module fuse (20amp yellow), and reinstalled it to have the bulbs turn on again. If i turn the engine off and return later on they don't come on, and i need to remove the fuse and reinstall the fuse again to turn them back on. Also if i swap the bulbs for different ones they work, but the same problem persists they turn off when the engine turns off and don't come back on. I've had this problem for a couple of weeks, and wondering if anyone is having the same problem or knows a way round this, as the MOT is also coming up soon. Thanks Suhail -
Hi Everyone, My name is Simon, I have just joined the forum as a proud Audi owner, nice to meet you all. I own a 2014 Audi A4 B8.5 3.0TDI quattro Avant with sports suspensions (but not air suspensions), I love it, but something bothers me. I have recently noticed that the rear passenger side suspension is 1cm higher than the rear driver side by measuring the distance between the center of the wheel and the wheel arch on many flat surfaces with the same result. The car never had an accident. I brought it in at an Audi dealer, they found out that the left rear damper has been replaced under warranty in 2018 before I bought the car so they said that the problem could be because one damper was new and the other still "old". Replaced the right damper (the "old" one), the issued was not solved, still 1cm higher on the left. Replaced the springs with new ones, issue still there. Verdict: The car is fine, up to 1cm difference between suspensions is tolerated by Audi and considered normal. Has anyone noticed or experienced anything like this? I know it's not a massive issue but should I just accept it and leave with it? I have tried to search for the same issue but I haven't found anything like this, sorry in advance if this was already discussed. Simo
