Roof bars and box - Avant

Hi Anyone put a roof box on their s4 Avant (b8) ? I am going to need one and have no idea on what is best. I see that Audi do their own ones which look nice but being a complete virgin on this subject I could do with some help, just in case there are aftermarket options which are better. I am assumi...

The jack

Anyone actually know how to get it out ?! I have an S4 avant but assume they are the same. I have found the jack, thats the first thing, but cant actually seem to get it out of the storage compartment. It has catches either side but you cant physically depress them all to release it. I don't know if...

Oil low

Hi Noticed my oil is at the minimum in the MMI today (after long journey). I know that this will sound silly but before I go-ahead I thought it best I check !! I am going to buy Mobil 1 5W/30 as per this link: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_pr...

Service question

Hi Another question from me. I still dont get the servicing on my car. If I go into the car setup and servicing it says that the oil service is due is 2700 miles / 120 days and that the next service is due in 9700 miles / 340 days. Now what I dont get is what happens in 2700 miles time, which will c...

Quick Sat Nav question

Had to do a 200 mile round trip today so spent some time playing with the Sat Nav in my car. For the life of me I cant seem to work out what surely is a simple thing !! All I want to do is to store a location as a favourite so that I can select it in the future. I can sort of see how that works but ...

Re: New owner - some simple questions

All works fine with both keys. Was as explained above, one thing I didnt know was that you have to actually open the door for the seat to move (so you unlock with the key and as soon as you open the door things move automatically). Thanks for peoples help. (for those picking their cars up today - en...

Re: New owner - some simple questions

Ok, will try that when the wife gets home with the 2nd key. Would of thought it should still set my position regardless of where the seat is ?

Re: New owner - some simple questions

OK here is something that is baffling me (still). Electric memory seats ! Have followed the instructions in the manual but still no joy (want to save my setting to the key). So, on the MMI under one of the menus (seat adjustment or something) I have set remote key thing to on. I then set the seat, m...

Re: New owner - some simple questions

Well in my haste and excitement of picking up the car I forgot to ask about the 7 digit postcode upgrade - Sorry !! I didn’t buy the car from my local dealer so in the next couple of weeks I might swing by my dealer and see what he has to say about it. As for the car, for those interested, only had ...

Re: New owner - some simple questions

It is pre facelift as has the old lights on the front. I will speak with the dealer about the upgrade and see what they say. Might be back with some more questions on the servicing when I get the car. I understand that it works out the way you are driving the car etc but would of thought that it wou...

Re: New owner - some simple questions

Its a 2012 car, march 12 registration (avant stronic)

Think I noticed something on some paperwork that servicing is set to long life - is that the best thing and if so how does that relate to my earlier question about only being approx 7,000 miles between services ?

Thanks for your help.

Have a couple of no doubt simple questions that I am sure people will be able to answer... - The car has HDD Sat Nav but I noticed it only does 5 digit post codes. Is that right ? Browsing the internet it looks like there is an update that can ...
