2011 Audi A5 TDI
Drivers of 2011 model year Audi A4, A5 and Q5 TDI diesel models will no longer have to face the consequences of accidentally filling their tank with petrol, thanks to a new preventative system built into the fuel filler neck.
The neck has been redesigned by Audi to ensure it cannot accommodate petrol nozzles. An internal fuel flap will open only when the larger diesel pump nozzle makes contact with it. The smaller diameter petrol nozzles do not make contact, so the filler flap remains closed and prevents access to the reservoir. It will also prevent any spillage on the forecourt. Read more…

One of our favourite trade magazines has come up with a great way of supporting the motor industry’s official charity – known as BEN – and M25 Audi was delighted to help them out.
Car Dealer has set itself the challenge of raising enough money by the end of this year to buy a Porsche, which they will then sell and give all the proceeds to BEN.
How are they going to do it? By starting with a cheap car, doing it up and selling it on – and repeating that process until they’ve got their Porsche. Read more…
Enjoy the Easter Bank Holiday!
The Institute of Advanced Motorists has responded to the fuel price hike in the Budget by putting together some useful tips to help motorists cut their Easter Bank Holiday fuel bills.
IAM Chief Examiner, Peter Rodger, said: “A rise of as little as 1p per litre will quickly add up. Simple measures such as looking well ahead and slowing down earlier instead of always using the brakes to slow down can make a real difference. A smoother driving style is the single best eco-driving tip. Good economical driving starts with safer driving and anticipation.”
Make each litre last longer over Easter with good journey planning and forward thinking behind the wheel.
PS – Take a look at our Easter Opening Hours here
- Sticking to 70mph, instead of 80mph, can save around 4p per mile.
- An empty car roof box can increase fuel consumption by 20% on a motorway – if it’s not needed, don’t take it. Read more…

Ashes-to-Ashes Quattro at Watford Audi
This weekend we were lucky to have on display the famous bright red Audi Quattro from the television series Ashes to Ashes. This is the actual car driven by DCI Gene Hunt in his quest to rid 1980’s Manchester of the worst criminals whilst his assistant DI Alex Drake tries desperately to get herself back to present day. In the series the car is Hunt’s pride and joy but it certainly looked like the stunts had taken their toll on the car as it has now covered 160000 miles.
