I thought the same, but the oil level seems be getting low whenever I drive the car. could be a sign of a leak? Or something else? given I'm not a mechanic I'm not to sure lol. I will bring it one soon enough anyway just to be sure.

Hi Steve cheers for getting back sorry yes i used 5w40. I used a Febi bilstein oil filter. I noticed today that under the turbo housing, there was quite a lot of soot/oil coming from the rocker cover maybe this could help explain things. Kind Regards Hugh.

Hi there guys I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a potential issue I'm having with my A4 B7. I bought the car a month ago and did an oil service on it a week back. I replaced the air filter and oil filter and changed the oil. I used 5w 504.01 Catrol Edge. I put 4 litres in it as the manual said 3.8 and after using 4 was just right on the dipstick. After the oil change, everything was okay made sure until I took it for a decent run on the motorway when a yellow low oil warning came on the dash, I immediately drove 10 mins to a Halfords and filled it up with it more oil after seeing the oil was indeed on minimum. Since then it has come up once more. But I notice now that the engine makes a ticking/fluttering noise when idling and seems a bit rough. Has anyone experienced this before after a oil change? Did I do something wrong to filter/oil I used? Or is it just the different oil creating a different sound to the engine. I'm looking to bring it to a local mechanic soon enough but don't want to drive the car too much with this present problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys bought a Audi A4 B7 avant a few weeks ago. Needs some money and work but other than that I'm loving it !However, I was looking to put new alloys on it as the stock ones are not great. There is a guy selling 18-inch RS4 alloys they are 5/112 245/40/18. He is saying a need ill need a 60.1mm to 57.1mm bore adapter to make them fit correctly. I am just wondering if this will suffice and whether there will be any rubbing issues or anything with these ? Additionally I would love any recommendations for alloys on the b7 platform as well. I was thinking 19-inch TTRS as well if the RS4 doesn't work out. Thanks, Hugh
