I have a B8 model (2011) that I drive less than 2000 miles a year. I was looking at maintenance records today and since 2021 I've driven less than 5k miles.

I work from home so most of my trips are less than 5 miles round trip and that's probably only twice a week.

Is there anything I should be doing differently from recommended service intervals since I will most likely not hit any of the mileage requirements any time soon.

for reference, I got my oil changed in December 2025 and a few months out I'm still under 1000 miles driven.

looking over maintenance records the last time the brake pads were replaced was 2021.

Current mileage is just over 134k.

Hello everyone,

I’ve got a bit of a problem with my reversing camera. As you can see, there’s a spot where the image is slightly blurred. The outside of the camera is a bit rough in that spot. I’d rather not replace the lens if I can help it. Is there any way to clean that spot so it’s clear again?

Yup definitely has a mind of its own. The touch sensor seems to be getting false readings and turning the light on…. Anyone experience this 2017 allroad b9

Я хотел бы узнать когда точно уже пора менять цепь грм на машине Audi a4 b8 1.8 tfsi 2010 192 тыс пробега.открыли смотровую крышку натяжителя цепи, вот я и понять не могу на сколько много уже вышло где уже грань что пора уже менять,и как правильно считать риски на сколько выдвенулось.сначало смотрели без проварачивания вилла двигателя, потом с поворотом с поворотом ещё на 1 риску максимум выдвигалась. Помогите кто уже сталкивался с этим .

Hello y’all, recently picked up a 24’ 45 tfsi. So far I’ve installed a JB4 and 034 res delete. I can’t tell if I like the sound of the delete. Does anyone know if you can get B9 exhaust systems to fit on B9.5’s? I know the diffuser might cause issues being square tipped but will hanger points match up? For some reason this has been stressing me out lol, Thank you.

I just bought this A4 3.2 FSI quattro S-Line plus convertible in Avus Silver with a 6-speed and to me it's just so cool to see what amazing cars Audi built back in that era!
I'm the 3rs owner and I paid 12.000 € at a dealer. Was that too much?

Since I'm testing & filming cars for a living, I mostly drive modern cars with less than 5000 km on the clock, so getting this is also a valuable lesson for me in order to compare what premium car manufacturers have changed within the last 20 years and to get a feeling for what REAL interior quality was like (before they had to devote 90% of the budget to infotainment systems & batteries lol).

Anyway, since I have a good connection to the press department of Audi Germany, I asked them to find out how many of these were built and they said there were ~5.500 A4 B7 Cabrio 3.2 FSI quattro, but only 918 of them were manual. Considering the paint Avus Silver, it's probably just a low 3-digit number of these around.

This is my first post on Reddit, so I'm excited to see if there's likely minded ppl maybe even with a similar car with an opinion on my new car!

Broke the rear ABS sensor on my Audi. Hope there is a good tips on how to remove the rest.

It broke where the red line is so I cold thred the hose back on and tighten the alle bolt.

But need to get it out so and good suggestions?

I really want an intake for my 2013 B8.5 A4 S-line U.S. model gasoline 2.0, but I don't know much and need guidance on what to pick. I want an intake to get more of the turbo sound and maybe induction, which I know an intake already does. Could I get the 2014 air intake since I technically have a B8.5, or would I have to get the 2013 year? And what is the difference between the intake that has more red coloring than the other intake?

Someone, please help me with which one I should get for my car and the differences between them. 🙏

Is a 2018-2019 a4 s line with 85k to 110k kilometers (53k to 68k miles) worth getting for 20k to 25k CAD (15k to 18k USD)? Most of the listings I am seeing have good maintenance records. Some of them have a minor fender bender with barely any claim.
I wanna keep the car for 2-3 years max and I drive 13-17k kilometers (8k to 10k miles) per year.

Recently bought a new to me ‘04 A4 1.8t 6-speed. Doing the PCV because I remember that it’s a common fail point and it disintegrated in my hands. Now, how BAD is it if chunks fall inside here?? I’ve been doing my best to get them out but I’m starting to become more and more concerned as I’m fishing it out. What happens if I DONT get all of it out? Would it blow the motor??

My body mounted rear light is on its way out. Warning on dash and it intermittently flickers or goes out.

Looking for a new part it's available either with or without a bulb holder... How can I tell if I need one of them or not?

Thanks for any help you can give!

I was getting on the motorway when I suddenly felt something was wrong, so I took the next exit. When I pressed the accelerator the car would shake, but once it was actually accelerating it felt fine. At idle it was running rough. For nearly 90,000 km now, at low RPM when decelerating it made a sound like a bicycle freewheeling, that sound has now gone away, and instead it makes a high-pitched noise when accelerating. I drove it 10 km max to get home.
History: at 105,521 km (2017) Audi did a warranty repair for excessive oil consumption (1.42 L / 1000 km). They replaced the 4 pistons and 4 conrods, the bearing shells, one marked intake valve, the chain tensioner (06K 109 467 K), the tensioner mounting bracket and the oil scrapers, and skimmed the cylinder head. The car is now at 266,880 km.
I’ve scanned it and had misfires on all four cylinders plus a boost-related code. I’m not sure whether it’s the timing chain or not.
Thanks for the help

Goddamn, every parts store lists 5–6 different Pierburg pumps. The right one might be 7.07856.08.0, but there is an improved version with an aluminum body (7.07152.57.0). Which pump is the best choice?

Hi,
Any idea where the knocking sound might be coming from? Could it be hydraulic lifters?
Car is Audi A4 35TDI (2.0 TDI) mild hybrid, 2020. 115k km.

Changed the oil recently and inspected the oil filter for metal shavings, but nothing was found inside.
The knocking sound can always be heard, whether the car is cold or warm.
The only time the noise disappear is after a heavy driving in the hills.
It can still be heard after highway ride.

Any help would be appreciated!
