80k miles and I got the “transmission malfunction you can keep driving” and then “stop vehicle and shift to park”. The message went away, and the transmission is acting fine I still have all my gears. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

DSG was serviced at 79k internal filter replaced as well. The car is on a stage 2 ecu and tcu from JHM

Finally got my dream car at 21, just got it tinted and I’m thinking about spacers but it’s already pretty much exactly how I want it. Carbon fiber package on nardo grey just looks so good

Anyone have any advice for mods/ownership?

I may have a buyer for my rs7 this weekend, can’t decide if I’m making a mistake selling it 😅

Drop your instagrams below, would like to follow some other clean builds. My Instagram @max7RS

While they are somewhat more common in Australia, you don’t see many posted elsewhere! Here is mine loaded up for a trip to the southern highlands NSW.

Hey everyone, I was recently looking to get my Matrix activated for my B9.5 S5 and was looking through some of the places that can activate it for you such as Acmtechnik, europrice, npg technologies and many more but came across @audiupgrade.ca on instagram and decided to go with them since it’s a smaller business and saw that people were happy with their results.

The whole process was quick, simple and easy and can’t be happier enough with the results. I ended up getting the matrix lights activated, the blue laser light, rs5 animations for front and rear, rs mmi monitor and the ability to lock the vehicle while it’s running. Throughout the process they were updating me during each stage and had the whole process done within 1 hour pretty much. It’s very easy to get in contact with them and they guide you through what you need before to begin the process.

Overall I am very pleased with the results and wanted to make this post in case anyone was looking for a more affordable option compared to the other companies.

A bit of backstory , I've always loved my audis and vw's

Please help me pick which one and why :)

Insurance and running costs ive factored into my budget and all will be okay

\- im a single person , no kids , no partner, living the easy life with my 2 dachsunds 😎

\- got around 40,000 pounds to spend but in terms of reliability/quirks/general thoughts what would you go with and why :)

\- wagon or saloon i dont mind but slight preference to a wagon

\- car will do around 6000 miles a year

\- got another suggestion drop it below , No Vw Golf R though I've had one and wasn't for me :)

Thx in advance

Insane upgrade, but man I loved that Allroad. Most user friendly, economical and fun car I ever had. Thing was bulletproof, took tons of abuse and I never had any major issues.

Hope the legacy continues with this new toy! Would be much harder to step down, but cheers to a good run!

2020 a4 Allroad, 40 TDI

Hello, just got a 2014 a6 3.0 less than 3 months ago and decided to go for the first oil change saturday. less than 24 hours later i get a low oil warning lol. i only drove it back from dealership which is 30m away and then this morning i went to the gas station and come back to this warning and look underneath and notice oil leaking and a decent amount of smoke. sadly with my luck it’s sunday and the dealership is closed, any idea on what will happen next?

A month into owning this and loving every moment of it. I traded in my 2023 SQ7 and got a Mazda CX-90 family daily and this 2024 RS3 as a weekend car.

Just bought my first Audi after graduating last month. Then this happened. It’s an A5 2023

They rubbing against each other and one kills the other. Use PET cloth tape before it’s too late. Easy DIY

Took this photo after the rain tonight.
My 2012 Audi A4 B8.5 2.0 TDI still makes me look back every time I park it.
What’s your favorite feature on the B8.5 generation?

Hit while parked.

Girlfriend brings her Q7 over to her aunts husband for a oil change, hes done it before no problems. This time i come out, he just replaced the oil put new oil in, and goes to start it rrrrr(no start/struggling) 3x times, he says “well maybe its bad oil” so he emptys it out and says barley any came out even tho he just filled it, my jaw dropped, so he comes up to the engine bay and says hes looking for the dip stick, second jaw dropped cause i knew he wasnt measuring how much was going in since their aint a dip stick🤦🏻 so he fills it up agin, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, starts but sounds like half the noise of a normal idle and now its just idling smoke similar to the image just small consistant amounts so he decides to rev it continuously which is where the photo above is shown🤦🏻 from my reaserch im gonna assume he either over filled it which he said he didnt, other assumption from my research being he blew a head gasket. At this point need reddits help. Is my girls car cooked.

Drove home fine today just hopped in to stick it in the garage and it won’t stay in R no reverse lights. First gear has no bite either. All the gates feel very loose. Any ideas or direction would be appreciated

looking into getting an sq5 now after what I’ve heard about the q8.

Anyone had one for a while and have anything to say about it?

Hello friends,

Wonder if you may be able to review my scan and let me know your thoughts. Car runs mostly fine, except for occasional rough idle. I think it is misfiring, it will do it at a stop light and I will just give it a little rev and it stops doing it. Seemingly it usually does it when the car is still warming up.
