They are solid cars. Xenon headlights changes the front end completely and better than LED. Personally I’d avoid black, as it shows every mark. A4 Allroad has more presence with aluminium roof rails and plastic wheel arches. Only weak points, rear suspension spring seats, and front coil springs. Turbos can go prematurely too.

Saved from a miserable Monday night - well done. I love your videos Matt. Honest, true and you won't say 'that'll do' and let something break in a month or so. Well Done...You do always overspend but in the right places. Question - rear hatchback struts on a 2005 Toyota Avensis? You wouldn't believe they were £200 EACH. Toyota part only and even the Toyota lady said she wouldn't bother. When the wife smacked her head when it failed £400 was a small price to pay for my peace :)
@jonford6119
@jonford6119 10 месяцев назад
You can get aftermarket ones for under £20 a pair. Admittedly they don't last quite as long as the originals, but they work and only take a few minutes to fit. I have fitted a couple of sets to my 2004 Avensis estate - after also being smacked on the head by the tailgate! The originals failed while I was on holiday in the Channel Isles - had to prop the boot open using an umbrella. Ordered replacements, they were delivered by the time I got home, fitted them the day I got back. I think the first replacement set lasted about five years, the second set are still doing fine.

I bought a A4 Avant TDI LE 2012 reg about 4 years ago ( 163bhp) manual ( 93k on clock now 125k) just under £6K . Reliability has been good and I’m lucky to have found a good local garage who are reasonable on parts and services. Replaced rear wiper motor recently ( common issue ) but other than that has been excellent although I think bushes around steering and suspension could do with changing. My old B6 Avant is still running around with 284k on its clock !

I really love these B8 Audis. My stepmother had a black-on-black 2011 2.0TFSI Quattro here in the states. What a lovely -- and troublesome -- car. Oil burning led to piston ring replacement (a $6000 job done for $500 by the dealer after the big 2.0TFSI lawsuit). Snapping coil springs, electrical gremlins, and other expensive failures made it a nightmare to keep running...and at 148k miles, about a year after she paid it off, the transmission exploded and the dealer gave her $250 for it. But I have never forgotten how impressed I was with it & how much I've always secretly wanted a B8 Avant despite their notorious reputation. Of course my stepmother was hooked on Audis and replaced it with a used black Q5, and recently bought a white A5 Sportback (both pre-owned). I've heard the 3.2 V6 was a good engine; it's a shame the Avants never got it in the US.

It could be a North/South thing, how does he get 4 wheels prepped and powdered for 180 quid? That's a ton per corner in Essex!

I have a 62 plate a4 avant with 170,000 on the clock, it’s a motorway muncher and use it to run the kids around. Still looks, drives, and feels like a car less than half the age, and has not let me down once. Secret is that it’s never wanted for anything and always has regular service/ maintenance and long runs. Personally I think this era of design is peak Audi, not a fan of the newer boxier style. Updated the interior with an aftermarket CarPlay kit hidden above the glovebox to keep it looking oem but the benefit of Spotify/maps etc. Absolutely love the car and hopefully will make it to moon miles.

Where did you get your Carplay? I've seen two places in the UK online which seem to have good Carplay kits, one place in Nottingham who can fit it for you also. But they're both quite expensive, circa £600.

@@ln5747 integrated automotive, the box itself is a limcet - looks generic enough and probably there are several identical with different names. I’m not an overly confident mechanic/trim chap but a couple of videos on you tube and it really is plug and play. Can still use steering wheel buttons to navigate it, it’s basically on overlay of the mmi. Only key bit is to make sure you know which mmi you have and the rest really is a bit of patience and a bit of method. Works great and I have no complaints

@@aarynfaolain5267 ah yes that was the other company I was considering. Glad you've found it to be good, I will definitely consider it as it's the only thing I want from a more modern car. Thanks.

You can’t beat a classic estate: not so predictable as the boring SUVs everyone else seems to be driving. Hope VW Group don’t give up their range of estates.
