  1. Hi, was this the B8 model? Anyone else who drove/drives an audi A4 who can share their experience?
  2. Yes i got it fixed. Went to Nilwala motors in madiwela. They install the repair kit and the issue is fixed. You can do it at the agents too but the repair cost would be about four times.
  3. Thanks..great to hear from your personal experience. I would like to know what i am looking at. A regular service at stafford would be around 15-18K, at 5K intervals. What will i have to expect extra in services? Also could you please share some examples for the cost difference in regular parts, such as shocks break pads etc..
  4. Thanks. I maintained my civic at stafford from day one. I always went for genuine parts through agent so i do not think i would sacrifice the reliability by going for cheap parts from outside.
  5. By the way, this may or may not be related to this topic..but appreciate if you could share your opinion on my reuqest for buying advice. I am sure you can educate me on this...
  6. Wise man! I am actually doing that now..sold my car while back and money is in stocks. Using wife's old vitz

  9. Thanks..most cars i saw have 80k plus mileage...wouldnt mind scraping a bit more $ for a less mileage vehicle? Any issues that comes with high mileage?
  10. Hi All, I have sold the Honda Civic FD1 i have used for several years now and I am looking to buy an Audi A4. My preference is the 2016 model, budget is around 8 - 9 mil. Currently using my Wife's car until i find a good one and also i am thinking of waiting for the import restrictions to be lifted so the vehicle prices become sensible again. However i would love if you could share any experiences you have had or heard of, regarding the A4 2016 model. I have done some research on the net and i saw some complaints about wiring, cooling and transmission, however i am not sure if users is SL have experienced these. So appreciate if you could share your valuable comments or experiences. There were several threads here for A4 buying advise but not for a recent model such as the 2016. - I have maintained the civic at Stafford from day 1 i bought. - I wouldnt mind spending few extra $ for the European badge. TIA..
  11. Hi All, I have the same issue with my Civic FD1 2006. At cold starts, the car jerks when engaging and shifting. Switch off and restart makes the problem go away. Can anyone who had this issue and solved it or anyone who has experience help me fix this issue? May be 'Civic Fan' could help me? TIA.
  12. Dear AL Team, Can you guys using Hondas (Specially the FD series) recommend a good place that does honda maintenance (mechanical repairs)? Need to change the Shocks and lower torque mount as well as check the rear wheel bearings. Agent quotes too expensive. Thanks in advance.
  13. Anybody know a good place to get a set of JBL speaker system installed? Car is a starlet ep91 so a couple of speakers at the front and a small sub will be enough? Thanks.
  14. Thought I should add my experience since I have been using a starlet EP91 which my dad bought for me and its been close to 6 years now. Its a 1997 AT EP91 and has run close to 150k kms. Had no any major repairs since I got it. I usually do the service every 3.5-4k kms and tune up once a year from toyota. I have driven some Indian small cars (Maruti and TATA Hatch(not nano)) and i can tell you its way better than a brand new one of those two in terms of ease of driving, ride and comfort. Fuel consumption is around 12 or 13kmpl around cmb ( just a rough figure) but it does close to 17kmpl on the hgway. The only problems are that it gives some rattling noises on a bumpy road ( probably from plastics in the dash) and the space at the back is not enough if you push the front seats a little more to the back but i think thats common to all hatches. If you are looking for a car with comfortable space for 4 or 5 adults then better to go for a 110 I think and IMO better to go for a japanese.
