^^^ this.

Press the Car button (by the gearstick), then Audi Drive Select. If Sports Diff is the 4th (last) option, you've got it. If it's not there, you haven't.

Re: Roof bars and box - Avant

Meant to ask, do the Audi ones have the T-tracks in them, so they fit Thule accessories?

Re: Roof bars and box - Avant

Sorry, that's all I have, but they only extend very slightly beyond the rails. I could measure them up if that would help? No, don't worry, I'll probably go into a dealers and see if they have got some they can show me. Be interested to see how they compare to the non-OEM Thule ones (who I assume m...

Re: Roof bars and box - Avant

Yes, I have the OEM bars on my Avant. very easy to fit, they locate on the lugs on the inner face of the rails and clamp around the flange on the outer face. I wouldn't want to load bikes up there though, too bloody high and too much of a reach. I use a towbar mounted carrier (from Halfords, tips a...

Re: Roof bars and box - Avant

Interested if anyone has added cycle carriers to their Thule bars as well, and if so which you would recommend? Ideally I'd want up to 4 (if they will fit). 2010 B8 S4 Avant.

Re: B8 S4 Avant - Sportfdiff, ADS, sprint blue...

Was going to post re roof bars, and ask if anyone had them for a B8 Avant, and lo and behold I see you have them! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get them from, how much, would you recommend them, etc? Thanks.

ps. a free bump for you!

Re: Colours - not black or white

Mine is grey (not sure what colour grey) but I think it looks good (but then I would!).

I have 19" peeler wheels as a factory option, but I have no idea if they are the same offset etc as the S5 peeler wheels. So that probably doesn't help much!

Thanks Graham. Pretty sure that's it then (and maybe why I'd not noticed before!).

aaahhh, maybe not, as I did adjust one the other day. Does it only work when in central position then? That could be it!!

Heated wing mirrors as standard? (2010 MY)

Driving in to work today, I noticed that my drivers wing mirror wasn't clearing the mist/dew on it, so visibility wasn't great for the journey. I had assumed, rightly or wrongly, that the car would come with heated mirrors. Surely it does? Or doesn't it? Sounds snobbish, but I didn't think I'd need ...

When you've put nw3 in try and see if there is an option for a space after.

Re: Is an upgrade available to 7-digit postcode entry? (yes!

mmm, rubbish... went to Hampstead / Belsize Park today, and my nav wouldn't give me any more detail than "NW3". Usually it gives 4 digits (so I would select "NW3 x"), and then you narrow down by street etc, but obviously NW3 is a HUGE area, so thousands of streets came up!! Rubbish :audibash: Think...
