Hi folks, Had my a4 2 years and I've always had 245 width tyres on the car and though they look great and give the boring estate a meaner look they're also more expensive. I do mostly dual-carriageways and long sweeping B roads, so demands for better performance and hard breaking isn't as important as longevity and cost. 245/40 18 is what I have now, so could i stick 225/40 on the car or is it necessary to go up on the profile? Conflicting information on the internet with some claiming it's fine and others saying increasing profile is a must. I have no clue what the J factor is of my alloys (8j maybe), all I know is they're twin 5 spokes, picture for reference. Thinking of cross climates, lots of miles per year in every weather condition.

I recently converted my 2006 B7 convertible, which came with a single DIN head unit from the factory, to accept a double-DIN unit. After the work, I have a spare double-DIN frame, part number 8H0858005A, for sale. I wrote up a thread about doing the job - here It is not straightforward, but if you fancy doing a similar conversion, I'll let this go for what I paid for it: £45 including GB post Item is in central Norfolk.

Guys I’m very new to this. My first ever German car. I recently bought it from a local car mart here in Jamaica. The car was imported from Japan but during shipping it had some scratches that I need to fix and my spray shop has no clue what the color is. I’ll attach below the car color and the paint code sticker that I found in the boot and the manual

tyre replacement AUDI A4 Avant (2019) spare tyre question
Steve335 posted a topic in Audi A4 (B9) Forum
Hi all, I’m new to the forum. I would appreciate your help. I’ve just bought an A4 Avant 40TFSI. It’s a 2019 model, bought used from the local Audi dealer. As most of you know, newer Audis don’t come with a spare wheel (not even a space saver one). The only thing supplied is an inflatable kit which is pretty much useless and it also ruins the tyre if used, which means you have to purchase a new tyre every time you have a puncture. I have asked the dealer if I can order a space-saver tyre. He made some enquiries and the response was: “AUDI are not sure if it’s possible and also if it will even fit, as modifications might be needed. If you have a puncture, call breakdown service!”. Not sure what to think of that… Apparently the reason AUDI have removed the spare tyre is to reduce emissions… I drive a lot for work and it wold be very inconvenient to call breakdown service and wait to be towed to the nearest garage just to repair a puncture. I’d like to be able to put the spare tyre on and carry on with my journey. The tyres are 245/40/R19 (19 inch alloys). I had a look online and it seems that the Hankook T125/70/R19 space saver tyre is the one suited for this size. The only problem is that the boot space is very tight. There is potentially some room if I remove the pump box (which I will happily do if I can fit the spare tyre there), but the rectangular battery might be a problem, as it seems to obstruct the round shape of the tyre. Also, the battery cables run through the grooves and are not easy to move / bend. I took a photo to give you an idea of the space. Before I go ahead and purchase a tyre I wanted to ask if anyone had the same problem and if you have found a solution, i.e if it’s possible to fit a space saver tyre over the battery (and if so, are there any mods or extra components required ). Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Steve

So I took my A4 in for an MOT & service, and was given an inventory of costs totalling over £1594 to get it through the MOT…. 🤢 So I’m in a horrible situation where the MOT is going to run out very soon and I don’t want to get rid of my pride and joy 😔 The work that apparently needs doing is “renew fuel filter, renew dust & pollen filter, renew timing belt, wheel balance, renew front suspension link arm, renew throttle body & renew right rear coil spring. The engine light is stuck on and it looses power sometimes when accelerating”. Can anyone shed any light please? Thank you 🙏🏻 🚘

I've got a 66 plate A4 avant. Recently the air con is showing as off when the engine is on. When I try to change it to on or eco they are greyed out and I can't select them. I can select eco or on when just the ignition is on but I'm not sure if it's actually working. After a bit of googling it either needs as regas, a new pressure switch or an new compressor. Anyone else had any similar problems??

Hi all, Just bought a second hand A4 Avant 2016 2.0 TDi Ultra this week. Wondering if anyone has seen this before? Noticed a puddle under left front yesterday. Has gotten bigger overnight. Had a feel and did the old smell test, was a bit greasy but didnt smell of oil. When I wiped the damp area underneath, again it was more wet than greasy. Partner said she'd had the aircon on high so I'm wondering if it's that. The car had been off the road since early-March. Only bought it 4 days ago so can still take it back and I did take out an extended warranty. Any help appreciated though. Thanks, James

Hello, has anyone upgraded their 2012-2015 A4 Allroad Tdi Quattro Halogen headlights? Was it easy, what did you install, any part numbers & where did you buy the replacement headlights you installed...Please? I have looked online and conflicting information or not detailed enough, or not sufficient detail, so I would appreciate anyone that has done it to let me know. I am looking for brighter lights and maybe a newer look but more light is key, unless anyone knows what bulbs would be better? -

Hi everyone I’ve tried to search but VCDS comes up so much it’s a bit mental! I’ve got the opportunity if purchasing a laptop with VCDS etc. I’m likely to get it anyway for service reset and other stuff and just generally having some more functionality than handheld devices. I was just wondering does VCDS have the ability to program and or delete keys? Thanks

Afternoon all, I bought my 1st Audi in March 2021 and the dealer said they would service it for me. 1 year on and the oil change light is on. Is that normal? Also, how much should I reasonable expect an Audi dealer to charge for an oil change? Thanks

Hi all, I'm a long time Audi owner (about 25yrs) and currently have an A4 convertible 2.0 Tdi 140ps, which I have lavished altogether too much money and time on... 😆 My Audi history includes a number of cars... ...but for 10 years and 160+K miles, my venerable old A6 2.5Tdi quattro Avant served me well... Anyway - I have a brake pipe question that I'll put in the correct section - just wanted to say hello. Mike 🙂

I’ve recently bought a 2009 A4 (b8) and I’m looking to add an armrest. However, the interior was previously changed to an S-line interior and the centre console seems different too. I need help to find out what armrest fits this centre console. As I can’t see anything online that looks like the one I have. After doing research I found out the connector in the pocket is a phone adapter ? What is this used for and what connects to this ? See pictures attached.

So, on new year's Day evening, my car produced loads of start up warnings after parking for hours at a very cold spot. No issues whatsoever until then. Faults: Safety system fault, start stop system fault, ESC fault, cruise control unavailable, presence restricted, TPMS fault, parking brake fault, basically every fault on the book. The car won't move and I had to tow it home coz no garages opened. Next morning went to a local mechanic and he said it's a software problem and suggested me to take the car to the dealer. Dealer diagnosed of throttle valve problem, and because the car was 6 years old and 70k miles up, suggested I got a new cambelt. I obliged. But yesterday I got a call from them saying there was judders with the clutch, and I needed to change clutch and probably flywheel. I am totally gobsmacked. I had no warnings, no issue with driving before the new year day. What could have gone wrong? Is it possible that the dealer is going rogue? They now want extra money to diagnose the clutch, already charged me £130 for the diagnostics on the first day. Do I have any chance to salvage the car without spending 4K at the dealer. They have already billed me 1.7K. 16 reg car with 72k miles on board. Feeling really stupid and hopeless.

Hi all, I'm looking for a new home for my A4 cabriolet. 2006, and I've owned her since 2007. I want her to go to someone who will take the time to restore her to her former glory. Her engine is fine but there are a few electrical bits that need repairing. Any suggestions of where to post an ad please? I'll add pictures but I wasn't sure if this was the right place.

Audi a4 2.0tdi140 S-line £2200 155k miles but will rise as in daily use. All motorway miles and used regularly to drive abroad. Regularly serviced every 6 months or so. The car has some age related marks. Just had a new set of front wings fitted. Some modifications include: • Remap to around 185bph and 410nm with hardcut limiter • Adjustable coilovers all round • Full straight through exhaust system with decat • With a Honda S2000 Air filter. •Interior is in mint condition throughout with the Rare satnav option, Dual zone climate control, Sports seats Car is listed as at cat N due to an engine bay electrical fire cause by a damaged wire, however it was fully repaired by a professional auto electrician with all new parts ect with proof! Could benefit from a new battery as it goes dead if sat for a while, last time it died completely it caused a check engine light to come on, probably just needs light reset as its driven fine ever since.

Hi all Just bought an A4 convertible with a dodgy roof. Guy has had it sitting for a while and stated that the roof did work before but doesn't now. upon getting the car home the 6 week old battery didn't hold a charge and left me stranded outside the chippy. heres the facts.... 1. central locking doesn't work 2. windows don't work 3. roof is dead 4. interior lights don't work 5. soft top warning keeps saying its not shut Ok, a little faultfinding tonight however I do believe the comfort control module is at fault here with all these issues. 1. the thick red wire going into the pump is getting a constant 12v even when the ignition is off. seems strange to me but I'm not an audi engineer 2. all the fuses are intact 3. replaced battery however I do think there is a draw coming from somewhere to have killed the last battery (thank god for Halfords warranty and an owner that kept receipts) 4. pump looks totally dry (moisture wise) but without a more in depth diagnostic machine we couldn't run it 5. vag com says that fuse 30 was open circuit - could have just us dicking about with it. Are we on the right track here? the comfort control module surely does all these things. I've bought a pump to be belt and braces but these things are around £180 second hand -
For the last six months plus, while driving at any speed or any gear, random power losses/misfires for one or two seconds, with no pattern sometimes it does not do it for days and sometimes does it three times in a fourteen mile journey, with rev counter dropping and returning to normal again. Sometimes when accelerating from a stand still at a traffic light when I move off, the car seems to do what I can only describe as a huge misfire, I feel a large thud from the engine and the vehicle jerks forward violently then acts normal again so I can drive. Vehicle has had a minor Audi service March 2017b (also full Audi service history). 29thApril I fitted a brand new original Audi original part fuel filter. It seemed to improve things but.... I still see the random power loss/miss fires stutter. Straight after fuel filter change vehicle put on a computer, codes came up P0087 and P1093. (Re computer codes picture attached)Reference code P0087 I googled results; https://www.obd-codes.com/p0087Potential causes of a P0087 trouble code may include: Weak fuel pump, clogged filter or screen, restricted fuel supply line Faulty fuel pump driver module Faulty fuel pressure sensor.Reference code P1093; http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/17501/P1093/004243P1093 - Bank 1; Fuel Measuring System 2: MalfunctionPossible SymptomsPower LossMisfire(s)StallingPossible CausesFuel Pressure insufficient/exceed/fluctuatingFuel Pump (High Pressure System) faultyFuel Pressure Regulator Valve (N276) faultyPossible SolutionsCheck Fuel Pressure (on FSI engines High and Low Fuel Pressure System)Check Fuel Pump (High Pressure System)Check Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve (N276)Check Fuel Filter and Filter in Fuel Pump CasingSpecial NotesWhen found in 2.0l TFSI<http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/2.0l_TFSI_(AXX/BGB/BPJ/BPY/BWA)>: * Check Fuel Pressure<http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/2.0l_TFSI_(AXX/BGB/BPJ/BPY/BWA)#Checking_Fuel_Pressure> * Check TSB/TPI 2008753 (Rest of World), incompatibility between Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve (N276) and ECU software. * When found in conjunction with Misfires and Lean fault codes, check RVUTB: 01-09-03 or 2018919 (NAR only) 2.0T (BPY), for updated Crankcase Breather Valve * If the breather valve is faulty, full engine vacuum is typically found when removing the oil cap at idleMaybe possibly need a new breather valve, high pressure fuel pump/cam follower, or fuel pressure sensor. I've booked my vehicle to go to Audi specialist Les Paul's for first time and I hope they can fix issue as quick as possible.

Hi, The EGR valve on my Audi A4 B7 2.0TDI has broken, the Butterly valve has bust. I am unsure of the best replacement, I bought a cheaper one and I am getting no power over 2,000rpm, garage said its due to it being a cheap one letting in too much exhaust fumes. Has anyone had this problem, what brand did they go for? the one I removed is 'Volt' but I can't find it online anywhere. Thanks, Tom

Hi all, Im not sure whether this will get any attention or not but I'm looking for advice on upgrading the look of my interior. I have an A4 S Line B8 2008 model. I've seen some owners have used carbon fibre prints and stuck them onto the already silver trims. I've been looking far and wide for a trim set which includes right-hand drive stickers etc as all I can find on eBay is left-hand drive. Any advice or pictures of your improvements would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!

Hi guys, hoping someone could shed some light for me I've recently had a a4 convertible, the roof unlatches and that's about it. I cleaned the bushes on the motor still the same. Done manual reset still nothing. Thing that's got me thinking is I can hear a noise when you put the switch into open which is confusing me a bit. Is the motor gone is it ok? Hope somebody could give some advice. Thanks
