Re: Pre-registered car - discounts

I've recently bought a Performance Carbon Vorsprung in the exact spec I was after and managed a £16k discount. Only word of caution, is some of the very heavily discounted cars have been sitting around for +3-6mths. I could have taken a similar spec at a few k less, but found it was received into th...

Re: Parking Cameras & Move Assist

Depressing update, MMI now is crashing, tells me as the key user I've not used it for a long time so have to log-in again (even though I drive it several times a day), Bluetooth not connecting, map content not displaying properly, network connection error... and just found lots of water under the pa...

Parking Cameras & Move Assist

Hi,

Has anyone experienced a random failure of all / some park assist cameras along with manoeuvre assist?

Been a week now and about 20 starts and same problem repeating. Have done a hard reset of MMI but no joy.

Probably be an annoying workshop booking (in several weeks knowing Audi Uk)!

Thanks

Re: Not popular here then?

So, I've had a RS Eton GT for the last 18mths and have enjoyed the car. It's super quick, feels lighter than the weight it carries, and if charging at home, definitely cheaper than petrol to run. Charging at fast charger... probably more expensive though. BUT... I rarely use the power. On shorter jo...

Re: E tron GT RS

I've just ordered one too :D Going from my B9 RS4 to the RS etron GT. Reviews look amazing and is saving at least £250/mth due to no tax, fuel (assuming night time charge on economy 7)... so can go up on the monthly to afford it. Know it won't be the same, but feel good about the environmental impac...

Re: Panoramic sunroof

The extra glass provides a lot more light and there is a motorised blind you can utilise as well. I’ve come out of several convertibles so don’t think you can beat an open roof in the spring and summer. I’ve seen more with than without and I know from selling my B8 with a sunroof it was a big attrac...

Re: Front Tyres - different wear

Thanks for comments. Original boots - Conti’s. I’ve really enjoyed them and popped another 4 on. Remember Pirelli’s on by B8 RS4 not lasting well and the Bridgestones seemed poor in the wet. As an aside - after a service this week I noticed they’d switched me from variable servicing to fixed. Gave t...

Front Tyres - different wear

15k miles of magical driving in and I now need to get new boots. Rear tyres coming off were both 3.8mm across the whole tyre, right front 3.4mm across the whole tyre, left front 1.1mm inner and 2.0 middle & outer. I had laser 4 wheel alignment checked just before Christmas and it was spot on. Any id...

Wheel Alignment

Know there are a few comments in the tyre thread... but wanted advice please. Need wheel alignment as the tell tale signs are there - inside of nearside front much more worn than inside of offside, and has not felt great in corners for a few mths. Took to local Kwik Fit on Sat to check how bad (they...

Re: Oil change after a year ?

Similar - 13.5k and 14mths old. I've always taken in my own oil and it knocks about £150 off price. Buy exactly the same oil on Amazon for about 30% of what Audi charge.

Re: Brake Noise (Squealing)

So, same squealing for last 3k for me too. Interestingly cleaned the car on Fri, and noticed how the holes in the discs were pretty clogged. Couple of blasts with jet wash (not on highest power!) cleared them a little.... no squealing for last three days. Could be coincidence, or could be a quick fi...

Re: Help

Having owned an S5 previously and are now 4k into my RS4 they are night and day apart. Every aspect of performance you want to measure is in a different league. But... how you feel driving it is a whole new level. S5 was a lovely car and I really enjoyed it... the RS4 casts a spell, feels special an...
