Does your car registration certificate mention “Bharat Stage 6B” ? If so, I think it should be compatible with E20 fuel. But please check with the dealer and if possible ask for the confirmation in writing from the Manufacturer (Email will do).

I think since BS6B takes care of emissions in real world scenarios, ECUs are programmed to take care of different type / quality of fuel and therefore engine shouldn’t knock if different fuels (95 octane / E5 / E10 / E20) are used. 🤔

Also, when I test drove the car from Audi Delhi we saw the coasting feature in action. The car was in cruise control and the coasting would trigger pretty frequently. However with the car I got I'm not able to get the car to coast at all. Only when I'm in non-cruise control, and step off the accelerator it the gear shows E/D(in comfort) and no number. In cruise control it doesn't turn on. I've driven the car around 350 KM and it's only 2 days old so maybe with time it'll start turning on.

Also, the people who bought the car recently, did your cars come with a space saver tyre? Mine hasn't, planning on speaking with the dealer about it tomorrow.
Mine also didnt come with space saver. According to the dealer, only CKDs are getting a spare and gradually Audi will do away with it. I was looking at reviews of Q7 / Q8 abroad and they too dont have a spare. I am planning to keep a spare with a basic rim prior to planning any long trip; will need a jack too though. Lets see.

The other option was C class which offers the best sense of luxury amongst the A4 and 3 series however punny petrol engine and those hideous pin stripes are not to my taste.

The new car was delivered today, wonderful dealership experience, car is amazing. Very happy day for the family and for me.
Congratulations guys on your new A4.

I've been away from this forum since moving to Australia in 2019, but now I plan to be more active. It feels good to be back

I picked up an Audi S4 last year. I've clocked just under 14k kms
Look forward to chatting with other A4/S4 owners.

I belive if the fuel lid doesn't say E20, the car is E10 period. The dealer could hide the fact it is not E20, the registration can also have an error but fuel lid cover should be your source of truth.

Recently went to a VW showroom for delivery of a friend's Virtus, saw Tiguan and curiously opened its fuel lid it had E10 stickers on it and assumed it must be an older stock not yet sold. Virtus had E20 stickers.

Unsure if you know this already, the Audi A4 and the VW Jetta share the same platform and engine all specifications. So, you wouldn't feel the Audi like much of an upgrade. BMW 3 series is one heck of a car to drive. It's driving dynamics are particularly better than the A4's IMO.

Guys, kudos again for the awesome thread and updates. Needed some advice from the a4 veterans, i had purchased the comprehensive service package along with the warranty. Is wheel alignment, balancing etc not included in the same? Audi Mumbai south claims, rotation is included but not the other parts which would cost me ~10k. Haven't done any major road trips since last year other than few runs to lonavala/ mahabaleshwar, bottom line how do i judge if i even need an alignment/balancing?
