Any news!?

Looks fantastic. As you say exactly the same as mine visually. I think the black matts look better than the cream and a good contrast with black dash and door cards. You’re right about the colour, almost looks green on some light, dark or light grey. I really like it

Can you please check if you can read the oil level at some point. I’m still stuck with no oil level reading on my car, either via idrive or the BC buttons.

This is my concern too. No dipstick on this engine at all but several have suggested there should be. Perhaps they introduced one at a later stage. Nothing at all in idrive where it should be and not possible on the BC stalk. It had new oil a month ago and I’ve done a few 100 miles now. I’ll get it checked out and a new sensor. I guess I should actively top it up now and then, what is the best oil for a 14 year old n52 engine on a 120k miles? Thanks

[oldaudi]

Thank you. Yes I’ll be certain not to over fill it, I just think as I’ll soon be doing 400 to 450 miles a week I’d feel comfortable adding a few drops here and there. I also have access to another car so I’ll mix it up a bit.

Going to make a few phone calls today and hopefully book it in and fixed before I start the commute again. Thanks for the advice and oil suggestions

plenty of space for a child seat!! We drove to Southampton yesterday from Bristol with my two, 14 and 11 in the back. I think there is just as much room as my last a4 avant. First day back to the office today so I clayed, sealed and waxed yesterday and up early as I genuinely can’t wait to have a blast down the motorway

Bridgestone RFTs. 4 of these with the slightly wider ones for the rear are almost £800 on black circles... mine look brand new.

I do not have it in the idrive unfortunately. There is no menu either side of the status. I’m going to change the oil soon (coming up to 3000 miles now) and I’ll see if I can fit a new oil sensor. The low oil level light came on and I topped it up so I do at least know it’s working , assuming it wasn’t telling lies!! I can smell oil after I’ve parked, it’s bone dry under neath and I’m hoping they just spilt some oil during the last change and it’s just getting warm. My brother has one of those trench’s to work in where he works so I’m going to get the bottom off and have a good look round.

Had a misted light today. I think following the hot weather and then rain, then driving around with the lights on I’ve got a leak. Managed to clear it by taking off the back and shoving a hairdryer down the back for 20 mins.
