Just had the MOT done and it failed on a Nearside Rear Brake Light and passenger side windscreen wiper failure. The wiper ball joint is worn so it comes off, clipped it back on and changed bulb job done. Had advisories for ball joints not excessive and an advisory for rear sub frame. The car has done 17 thousand miles in the last year I've had the Cam Belts Tension and risers done as well as the water Pump fitted at same time. Alternator Belt and Tensioner replaced HT leads and spark plugs replaced. Front exhaust expansion pipe broke and replaced Rear Sub Frame bolt snapped and repaired (Nearly wrote car off when it happened my heart was in my !Removed!) New Battery 8 Tyres 2 on the front and 6 on the back. The passenger window has failed makes a grinding noise when trying to operate via switch, used to fall down but some lolipop sticks sorted that one Passenger wiper not working The handbrake failed one day and it rolled off and hit a wall small scrape down passenger side Someone drove into it in the car park and left it with a broken front offside indicator Intermittent ABS light Front lamp failure warning lights, rear brake light failure warning light are constantly flashing Stills leaks water on passenger side Still a formidable car in my opinion despite its issues.... Happy Motoring All.

Hello everyone, As a fan of all things audi I thought it's only right to join a forum or club. My local clubs are let's say, financed warranty wannabes. Looking for a forum with a mix of cars and ages of cars, people etc and came across AOC. Had a read through some of the chats and guides and thought yes this is the one for me! Anyway, I am a mechanic, I live in Tamworth staffs, I work on landrovers and jaguars for a living, purely because it pays the bills, but I have always had a passion for VAG, 😂. Only owned 1 Ford in the last 13 year's.. I have owned several vw and audi models, mostly older. A3 a4 golf tt a6 etc I have worked on and fixed a variety of issues and faults from electrical to mechanical on most of the range apart from the really new stuff. So hopefully I have some knowledge that I can share with you guys and gals in return for the knowledge I have taken from here in recent months. Anyway, be nice to chat and maybe even see some faces of likeminded people at a future Audi meet. Chris The Brummie Mechanic

Afternoon, New Audi buyer here, not picked the car up yet, but pick up the keys in a couple of days. I've come over from a Golf R, and got myself a really sweet 2015 A4 2.0 TDI S-line Black Edition +. This will be my 4th VAG car, my first Audi though. Was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of things to keep an eye on with car? Have had a browse through the forum and nothing leaps out and grabs my attention, which I hope is a good sign. Also, Do you have any meets/road trips/Breakfast runs etc.? I live in Suffolk and could not see anything on the forum about meets in the east of the country. Am happy to travel anywhere. Have a good evening everyone.

Hi All, Wondering if anyone has purchased the Audi Music Interface, I want to play videos the monitor but tried on SD card and not had any luck in various formats. A few youtube videos have mentioned the Audi Music Interface cable. Has anyone tried? Or know anyone that's got the cable? Thanks Hass

I thinks that updating the mmi will corrupt the mmi and have knock on effects and not allow me ever to drive the car again. and that there is no way of putting the car back because I dont have the orignal firmware disc. is this true?

Hi Everyone. I have recently purchased a Q7 and I am now looking to buy either a TT or A4 Cabriolet AUTO. Given my budget the age-range of these would be from 2003-2006 I Imagine. By the sounds of it the biggest issue with these cars is the cambelt, just wondering if some Audi experts can give some advice whether these models/age would be worh pursuing given the issues. Thanks

Hi everyone. Just by way of introduction, I have just joined the group as I have just taken delivery of a new A4 S Line Quattro 2.0 TDI Black Edition Saloon in Quantum Grey. This is my very first Audi, and so far I am delighted with it. The car has the following extras: Technology Pack, Adaptive Suspension, LED Matrix Headlights, Extended LED interior lighting, Front and Rear heated seats and Storage Pack. I love the virtual cockpit, and the quality of the interior is in my opinion better than the competition. I bought the car from Bristol Audi, who I can say provided an overall excellent experience. The only issue so far has been that I was getting a knocking noise from the offside rear over some rough roads. I telephoned them and was able to take the car straight in for inspection and it was found that the 'transportation bump stop" on that wheel had not been removed properly. Within 15 minutes the fault was resolved and sorted and what a difference that made to the quality of the ride! Looking forward to some happy motoring.......

The purge valve on my 2002 A4 1.6 (ALZ engine) has broken. I can't find a part number on the valve itself, just on the rubber holder which appears to have two part numbers: O6B 133 459 D and PXO 421 212-10. Are any of those for the purge valve? I have searched the websites of the local car parts stores, but I have been unable to find a purge valve for my car: Either they aren't in stock or they are listed as not compatible with my car despite that they look very much like the old one. What might make them incompatible? Are there any differences between purge valves besides the size of the hoses and type of electrical connector that connect to them? Are there any reputable web shops that have this part at a reasonable price? Are there any low quality manufacturer of these valves that are best avoided?

Hi, just joined the group and looking forward to getting involved, my first question: I'm looking to buy a 2014/5 A4 Avant 2.0d Black Edition Auto (think I've found the car!) and having ever so slight OCDish I like things symmetrical (I could not buy an Alfa, that number plate!!) So the one (twin) exhaust outlet haunts me!! 😱 I've done some research and have found a conversion to 2 outlets RS4 in style. Wondered if anyone has any knowledge of these conversions I'm sure it will fix my OCD nightmare but will it make a noise difference? are there other benefits or negatives on the conversion? This is the one I'm looking at: https://clptuning.co.uk/product/milltek-dual-exit-exhaust-with-valance-audi-a4-b8-2-0tdi-s-line/ Thanks all appreciate any and all comments!

Good evening, audi enthusiasts! I have audi a4 b5 2000 facelift sedan model and im looking for LED number plate lights but im unable to find them for this specific model because they are different from others who have simple black adapter inside. They are more similar to B6 version but with 2 screws. Even internet shops struggle with this. Does anyone can help with this?

Have acquired an RCD310 radio with Bluetooth from a 2011 Golf. Looking to replace my Audi Symphony factory unit. Has anyone had any success or knowledge in fitting one into an A4 B6?

Hi I am new to this forum so hope I have posted to the correct place. I have a 2004 A4 Avante and the headlight buzzer has stopped working. My wife has now left the lights on 3 times and flattened the battery. After a lot of searching, it seems the buzzer is in the instrument cluster and fixing it seems a bit risky. I have come across a universal kit https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Headlight-On-Buzzer-Alarm-Reminder-Kit-Universal-Save-your-car-Battery-/281041160984 which looks like it will do the trick. I have no real car electrics experience but as far as I can make out, I need to connect the red wire to the live of the headlights (i.e. it is live when the lights are on) and the black one connected to either the door switch (such that it goes to earth when door is opened) or ideally to something that goes to earth when the ignition is turned off. I have found a few YouTube videos which seem to imply that this can be connected into the fuse board somehow but on the A4 I can't fix out where I would connect it to? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Lee. -
Helllooooo... Wondering if someone can help as i seem to be getting nowhere with my local Audi garage.. We bought the black edition purely as its petrol (seem petrol is rare down our way)and for the banging B&O system as we love our music. In our car however theres a wired AMI connection in the glove box and its driving us crazy.. To cut a long story short we use the iphone cable for the music but we see problems every single day and sometimes it doesnt work at all. The issues vary from not recognising a cable or device at all, to freezing. Over the months we have gone through various genuine audi AMI iphone cables, and settled on an iphone extension lead as to take the pressure of the audi cable as i suspected at first the constant wear and tear was causing the problem. This works but we still have the problems regardless of using this extension to the genuine audi cable directly. Seeing as Audi have had the car for a whole day and not found a fault they are now leaning on the outcome that as the car gets older and the phones get newer, compatibility will drop and there isnt anything they can do grrrr.. So this leads me to my real questions from some audi experts... 1) IF we upgrade to an aftermarket head unit what happens to the high screen in the dash, will we lose this? 2) if we upgrade to an aftermarket head unit with say Apple Car Play functionality, how does this effect the high screen in terms of displaying the vehicle graphics such as parking sensors, heating controls, general menus for adjusting car settings etc? 3) I have considered adding a bluetooth receiver to the USB AMI cable to eliminate the physical connection all together, can anyone confirm this is a good idea bearing in mind the car uses bluetooth for the phone? Really hope someone has some good ideas!

Hello, I have 3.0tdi BKN Manual A4. When its all warmed up fully and i go and stop it, and wait say 10 minutes and start it again it will do half a crank over and then kinda sticks then speeds up again. It goes with a clunk when it does it, almost seems like it hydrolocks itself. Could it be a leaking injector and then fills up the bore? It never does it when its cold tho but it takes a while to build fuel presure if left over night.

Never a dull moment with this car, new minor I hope issue. Every now and again randomly it makes a short low 2-3 second sound weird errrr noise only on cold start up? Should I be worried or just minor I can ignore? I recall my golf mk4 starter motor for years made a loud horrible sweek on start up but I could not be bothered to spend the money to replace as it did not effect driving the Car.

Hi guys, This is my first topic in this community and I understand that maybe this isn't best forums to start with saying such a thing ,but I would like to start this thread with beeing sincere and saying that I'm newcomer to United Kingdom and that I'm originally from Latvia ,but still I'm Audi enthusiast and I hope for your help. :) So, the thing is that for a long time my dream was to purchase Audi A4 B5 facelift saloon model. It's quite common car in my country and there's plenty of them for sale ,so there's no problem with repairing if they break. And so now I'm planning in near future to buy this car in U.K. ,but theres things that bothers me - there's not very much exectly this model of Audi for sale here so I'm not sure if it wouldn't cost me a fortune to repair it if it breaks. Would you recommend me to buy this car for daily use in this country? Also what could be the common problems with exectly this model worth checking before buying? Sorry for bad English grammar. Hope for your help! :)

Mannnnnn my head got spun hard I called Audi Harold wood told him I need a minor service as Audi Chingford said major, minor, minor. He tell me he's been working for Audi for years and that's wrong! Major, minor, major is what Audi recommends he said uve been told wrong. I said ok give me a major Chingford told me spark plugs are separate from service he said no that's wrongs spark plugs included in full service price of £329. He even put in a little jab we much better then Chingford. Who telling me correct Chingford or Harold wood? Is it as Chingford said major, minor, minor, major. Or harold wood major, minor, major? -
Hi all Just bought an A4 convertible with a dodgy roof. Guy has had it sitting for a while and stated that the roof did work before but doesn't now. upon getting the car home the 6 week old battery didn't hold a charge and left me stranded outside the chippy. heres the facts.... 1. central locking doesn't work 2. windows don't work 3. roof is dead 4. interior lights don't work 5. soft top warning keeps saying its not shut Ok, a little faultfinding tonight however I do believe the comfort control module is at fault here with all these issues. 1. the thick red wire going into the pump is getting a constant 12v even when the ignition is off. seems strange to me but I'm not an audi engineer 2. all the fuses are intact 3. replaced battery however I do think there is a draw coming from somewhere to have killed the last battery (thank god for Halfords warranty and an owner that kept receipts) 4. pump looks totally dry (moisture wise) but without a more in depth diagnostic machine we couldn't run it 5. vag com says that fuse 30 was open circuit - could have just us dicking about with it. Are we on the right track here? the comfort control module surely does all these things. I've bought a pump to be belt and braces but these things are around £180 second hand -
Hi Guys. Has anyone tried to lower 2017+ A4 B9 Saloon or Avant I have done some extensive research and it seems only two Brands are available in the UK Eibach - Pro Kit lowers F+R 30mm and Sportline F 45mm + R 40mm Emmanuelle Design (USA brand) - F+R 40mm Bear in mind Sport suspension is already 20mm lower from factory. The USA has available H&R F+R 40mm and 034Motorsport F+R 50mm I am awaiting confirmation from H&R Germany if the kit they supply the USA fits UK Specs B9 It appears no one in the UK has lowered a B9 unless I can not find any information/pics. If anyone has any information, please share it on this thread..

Afternoon all, can anyone tell me if it at all possible to update the Audi Music Interface (AMI) or even the Audi Concert Radio

Good Afternoon, I'm new to the forum. I'm looking at a temporary run-around car at the weekend and would like some advice. Its a 2005 B6 Audi A4 3.0tdi S-Line Quattro, it has a full service history (not all main dealer), 200K miles, MOT till June 2018. Also, 18" RS6's, full 2 tone leather, dual climate control, rear park sensors, sat nav, on board computer, roof bars etc. £1,500.00 due to mileage. What is the major problems with these cars? should the oil pump have been replaced by now? what should i look out for in the service history? I've attached advert of the car in question, i'll likely do 7k mile maximum and be selling. I'll like bring a friends diagnostic computer with me and a mechanic if possible. Thanks Aaron Flanagan
