Re: Blocked drain hole

I'm fed up with having to clear the drain hole on the passenger side under the bonnet. Has anyone tried to fit a fine wire mesh over it to help the drainage? I'm reluctant to go down the drill option. Thanks

Re: Fuel Consumption

I've had my B4awd since September but only done 2211 miles. According to the app have averaged 36.6 mpg. Mix of long and short journeys, in comfort mode and E10 petrol. I am a very gentle driver and cruise at 60-70 mph. I came from a D3R and am delighted with my economy.
