Changed over from the winter wheels to the summer ones and decided I fancied an upgrade at the same time, managed to get my hands on a set of 2021 S-Line wheels which I love the look of. Makes the car look that little bit fresher and newer I think. I had black 17s on for winter, not a fan of black wheels usually but for winter they were sufficient. Comments welcome...

Bear in mind that remapping might be counted as a modification as far as your insurer is concerned, particularly if the power is increased, so unless you declare the modification the policy may be invalid.

Hi I know some aftermarket tanks are sold with no bag which is the selling point, it depends on the shape of the tank if its round you can't remove it as it sits behind a second skin inside the tank, if its square you can fish it out with a pair of extra long needle nosed pliers. Steve.

Ravi. That bag of silica gel has caused endless problems to many owners when it bursts. The crystals block the heater matrix and sometimes the thermostat leading to expensive replacements. Whether Audi have ceased fitting the bag I do not know so it would be worth enquiring before purchase. Do please let us know the answer.

I'm assuming that you're talking saloon here? If not, I have the Avant and I seriously wouldn't worry about the boot space, the main difference is that the boot floor is about an inch or so higher than the non-hybrid version which does cause a small lip but nothing to worry about it's still massive, you just lose a bit of headroom. The rear seats also don't fold flat with the boot and have a similar lip between the seat back and the boot floor. I'd take some pics but it's currently stacked full of PA equipment! 😆 If you are talking saloon, then all of the above is of no help whatsoever (but might help others) & hopefully someone else can answer your query.

Mine does this from time to time. It seems to me this is relative to a safety system not a mechanical issue. The handle of the door releases the latch but not the lock. So on pulling the latch is released but the lock doesn’t. if you pull the lever in less of a rush I find myself not having to pull twice. you can try some self diagnosis. fault find 1: step 1 put the car in park and hand break applied. step 2 open the door if the car does not release the lock on first pull. There potentially is a fault. Fault find 2: step 1 apply brake pedal, put vehicle into drive/neutral. step 2 open the door, if the car does not immediately open on 1st pull, check if the car is in park, and handbrake applied if so pull again if it releases this means the car prevented you from leaving whilst in drive and changed, in which during that time ensured you remained in the vehicle until it had prevented the car from moving. if it did not/did go into park and handbrake applied but won’t open it means there is a fault requiring further diagnosis.
