  1. Thanks Trevor, It's a manual, but great feedback from yourself....Thx
  2. Thanks Steve, That's very good information back from you, very much appreciated. I'm thinking of getting a detachable Tow bar fitted, (because it can be removed, looks nicer etc) We are thinking of getting a 4 berth carvan, so nothing too big, and once we have driven it to Cornwall, we are leaving the caravan onsite for the year etc, rather than dragging it up and down the M5. Thanks Dave
  3. Hi Folks, Might be thinking of getting a tow bar fitted onto the Audi, Since I've got the 3.0TDI Manual model, does anyone have any advice, upon towing trailers, caravans etc. Since it's a Quattro is there anything I should be aware of. The end goal is to tow a caravan, for the odd trip to Cornwall. Thanks in advance.
  4. Thanks Simon, I'll give that a go this coming weekend, can you recommend a silicone lubricant ? was yours an aerosol ? or grease etc? And has the fix resolved your issue ? Thanks in advance.
  5. Good Folks, Has anyone got advice upon what options are open to me, for a very small leak on my softtop. I noticed it a couple of weeks ago, whilst in my local handwash car wash, whilst they was using a jet spray. And today, whilst is was pouring down, I noticed a very small drip. Hence the request for clues, or advice. Thanks in advance. The leak comes in where the arrow point to.
  6. Great Question, I have the same car on a 59 plate, which was registered March 2010 Mines a manual, but I'd been keen to know what the correct output was.
  7. Hi Bradley, They are manufactured fitted, and yes thanks I've cleaned them, They just work when they want to lol...as if a mind of their own.
  8. Hi Folks, Looking for any possible tips, advice upon the A4 Rear reversing sensors that seem to have a mind of their own. Sometimes they will work, and sometimes they don’t, I just get a long error bleep from the cars warning system. Anyone else had this issue ? Mines a 2010 Audi A4 3.0TDI Quattro Convertible
  9. Folks, Many thanks for that great advice, very much appreciated I'll be now choosing Castrol EDGE Professional 507 as a result. Dave
  10. Good Folks, I'm thinking of getting my oil changed at a local Kwik Fit or other garage. I've got a 2010 A4 3.0 tdi quattro, What oil is best for this model, and any advise is of course welcome, such as price I should be paying etc. Thanks in advance.
  11. Hi all, With the cold snap of weather we are getting this week in the UK, I thought I'd upgrade my mirrors, can somebody please confirm that it's just a job of replacing the actual mirrors with heated mirrors ? I understand that the wiring is installed as standard, and via switching on the rear window demister it would then start to heat up the door mirrors, is this the case? I've got a 2009 A4 3.0 tdi convertible Any heated mirror part numbers would be gratefully received....Thx I've attached an image of my drivers side mirror, I spoke to my local Audi Dealer this morning, he confirmed because my car is a 2010 59 plate, that the car is a B8 Model, Could anyone confirm, via looking at the picture if it's a B8 or B7 Mirror ? I just want to be 100% Sure of getting the right mirror replacements Thanks Resolved the issue via, Purchasing 2 new Mirrors from www.micksgarage.com for a grand total of £34.18 including postage ;-) Part numbers 5442884 = Right hand side, 5447107 = Left hand Side. I purchased two new heated mirrors, which fit just perfectly, and of course simply plugged the two wire into the terminals on the back of the mirrors. I honestly can't understand as to why Audi would goto the trouble of installing the wiring for heated mirrors, without actually then fitting the heated mirrors, but anyway issue now resolved, and of course they are heated up via turning on the rear window heater. First picture is of the old standard mirror, note the blank terminals.! Picture below is of the new £15 each mirrors, note the heater terminals.
  12. Thanks Trevor, good advice.
  13. Good Folks, I'm looking to purchase a suitable spare bulb replacement kit, any good links, suggestions etc ? Mine is a 2010 A4 Model.
  14. 2009 A4 or 2010 A5

    What is the difference apart from Size from the A4 to the A5, 

    With the A5 Models, you appear to get more for your money, has it the same build quality as the A4 ? 

    I thought I'd just ask, because the A5's seem really good value against the A4's which I think look better,

    Any thoughts or advice ? 

    Thanks in advance.

      I'm delighted to report that I purchased an A4 3.0 TDI Soft top this weekend, And boy am I happy with it.

      It just eats the miles on the motorway.

      Sounds great...post up a piccy of it if you like.

      Enjoy !

       

  15. Many thanks Trevor, After look at all of the stats, I do feel like it may well be a diesel version, It's just a matter of waiting for a low mileage one, with full sat nav, and heated seats in the right color to come along now, but Im not in no mad rush, good things do come to those that wait lol. The A5 Convertible looks an ok option as well, having driven one, I was most impressed, however my personal choice is the A4 Looks much better. Cheers Dave
