Audi Q4 E-Tron Owner- things I’ve learned so far

After 5 months these are some of the things I’ve learned which I probably could have worked out sooner if I’d read the manual 😬😂

[@allendarnell2347]

Keep these coming! Having to wait another 7 months before ours will appear, and these little shorts keep the anticipation nice and high. Thanks mate

[@thelexathon]

Owed for over a year and I've been getting out of the car to close the boot like a sucker! Thanks!!

[@edinreviews]

No worries- took me months to figure that out lol

[@jenc2319]

Owned one for 4 months and learnt 4 new things from your video 😄 thanks!

[@edinreviews]

Lol- glad it was useful 😂

[@bobbyx7191]

Great tip for closing the boot 👍

[@Chilternflyer]

Good video - keep them coming.. The dealers are useless it even answering basic questions about the features of this car. (One of them didn't know what Regen braking was but said "you can put it in 'B' mode when you're driving in traffice and it will slow down on it's own".) I've had a Q4 on order since Nov 2021 - I've STILL got NO idea when/if my car will be built but at least I'm learning something about it!.

[@matty-g-4381]

I had my order confirmed mid Nov 21 and was informed about 4-5 weeks ago that it was going to be delivered early Dec 22. I’m sure that’ll get delayed though!

[@cormacconaghan2715]

A brilliant video, some seriously helpful hacks there

[@andrewlarner6190]

Really helpful once again!

The small glove box looks so weird compared to my Norwegian left-hand drive version. The left-handed version is so much bigger since the fusebox is under the left side of the steering column. So happy with the car so far. The range is spot on for us, the ride is superb and I really enjoy all the small creature comforts :) Only wish mine came with the drive select, but that has been removed on ours (we bought it 1yr old second hand, the dealer had it as a showpiece car.) Can still get really good mileage out of it by just being patient and turning the climate control down and similar to what the system would do on it's own.

Great video.... Have you figured out how to get the sat nav to save any destinations for next time yet???

[@nicolamoran7548]

This really helps, cheers!

[@ISuperTed]

Thanks for posting these snippets. I’m yet another person still waiting for mine - ordered November now being told it’s October delivery :(

[@edinreviews]

Fingers crossed they don’t change that again. I looked on my company scheme and the current wait if ordered one the same as mine is 77 weeks😱

[@kryptorick5120]

You might have had that comment before but for the dust on textured surface the best is to use a detailing brush (not a cloth) alongside your vacuum. works well

[@ISuperTed]

Just saw your comment about videoing the camping trip! Be interested to see how it copes as when we eventually get ours (tumbleweed!) we’ll be doing a lot of camping with dogs, a top box and trailer or bike rack (have ordered the swivel towbar).

[@edinreviews]

I’ve put up a video of my camping trip. Didn’t take the dogs though😬 I’m looking at getting a roof rack to put one of my roof boxes on, but it’s hard to justify the cost of the roof rack when I could just pile everything into my old Discovery 😂

[@ISuperTed]

@@edinreviews Saw this just after I posted the comment! Lovely campsite!

[@edinreviews]

@@ISuperTed it’s lovely and so cheap. Nothing fancy but there are toilets and sinks for dishes 👍🏻

[@Wilson-sy5ze]

Use a swiffer to get rid of the dust:)

[@Lowieken73]

My wife is going to love that cleaning cloth ... Just sit tight and wait an other 16 months now.

[@mrmuds8624]

Great video!! Would be interested to know that if in range mode you consistently see consumption in the 4.5 - 5 miles/kwh or whether this was just a fluke? Also, does eco setting on the climate severely restrict the heating or cooling of the cabin?

[@edinreviews]

I’ve tried range mode a few times now and it generally gets me 3.5-4.5m/kWh, but occasionally over 4.5 depending on traffic. When in range mode with the display saying Eco you have no heating or cooling, only air coming from outside the car. This works like Ecopro + in our i3. I’ve just done a camping trip (video to follow lol) and had the car in efficiency and confusingly there is an Eco setting for the air conditioning which work with the normal climate control and does provide cold air 🥶

[@mrmuds8624]

@@edinreviews thanks for the info. Keep the videos coming 👍

[@jeanpaulo2120]

Do you have ambient light package. Ordered a S Line, so keen to know if it is really only white light (haven’t ordered with the special ambient light package). Great review focused on specific topics!

[@edinreviews]

I just have the standard white lighting as I didn’t get any options apart from the paint👍🏻

[@jonesboy201]

Some good tips there. Just bought the Q4 black edition 45 Quattro. Picking up in 3 weeks time. Have you enjoyed the car so far ? My first EV and somewhat sceptical about the whole EV thing. I’m going from a Q5 to Q4

[@edinreviews]

I’ve had mine over 2 years and I’m still loving it. The new 45 models have a decent upgrade in power and ranger over my 40- it will be great! I’m a bit jealous lol

[@EmilHoestrup]

Thx. Another one is that it can clean the reverse camera. Put it into Reverse. Press the three dots -> clean camera

[@peterhaxgart7005]

Thanks 👍

[@timpaterson2872]

Have you got 1 or 2 reversing lights ? I only have 1. I guess to save on chips…… Bit cheap for a £50k car. Also, do you know if the brake lights come on when you’re in heavy regen ?

[@edinreviews]

1 reverse light unless you order matrix headlights. The brake lights do come on when you are in heavy regen, not sure what point they trigger but they do come on 👍🏻

[@timpaterson2872]

@@edinreviews thank you !!

[@dapperlygrungy3189]

Can you do a scheduled maintenance video on the Q4. I'm in the USA and knowing Audi like BMW they will probably gouge me of unethical costs to maintain this car should I buy one.

[@edinreviews]

I’ll do one when the time comes, but in Scotland the first service isn’t due until 2 years🤔 I believe it’s different in the USA🤦‍♂️

[@arkrainflood]

QUESTION: how easy is it to get repair parts? the news suggests that the supply chain is crippled, both in europe and china.

[@edinreviews]

I’ve not heard much about that, and so far haven’t had to test it out. They’re still finding it difficult to supply cars never mind parts!

[@timpaterson2872]

What’s a manual ??

[@whatmichaelfilmed]

@edinreviws my car been updated never have I been more happy with getting an update that gives me features my s5 2019 did 😂. FYI before collecting make sure the charge flap opens I’ve just found my isn’t doing maybe it’s a fault from the update eveythint else works perfect tho

[@whatmichaelfilmed]

Also Audi themes while cool at 15 quid a go irs a rip off

[@edinreviews]

Great news👏🏻 I’m booked in for next Monday 🤞🏻

[@adlaialmeida9815]

How is connectivity to the myAudi app. I find it does not respond sometimes.

[@edinreviews]

Mine has been fine apart from a slight wobble after one update at the start of the year. The app itself is pretty poor though- BMW do it so much better😬

[@SD-rj4qh]

Have you learnt how to add a profile so you can dispense with the opening screen disclaimer?

[@edinreviews]

Not yet. I think that’s part of the long awaited update?

[@SD-rj4qh]

@@edinreviews I’ve covers 5000 miles in mine now and generally very pleased with the ride and performance. The technology is so far behind Tesla it’s untrue. The Audi sense has tried to kill me on a few occasions and any slip roads turn the auto lane and cruise control into a nightmare!

[@koreanwithaddy56]

You see there are two figures like 4951 vs 3250.5, what does that mean?

[@edinreviews]

One is the total milage, the other is the trip milage which you can reset. I rarely use it as I reset the long term/short term memory when I’m on a trip 👍🏻

[@timpaterson2872]

I didn’t get a cloth and, what’s a manual ??

[@edinreviews]

I’d get back to the dealer and ask for a cloth 😱 Apparently the manual is what you use when you’ve given up all hope and tried everything else 😜

[@timpaterson2872]

@@edinreviews thanks for saving me from the tedium of reading the book of lies.
