Re: Bonnet not closing properly on P8

There are 2 rubber stops on each side of the engine bulkhead Make sure they are both screwed down properly.

Re: High oil level

I had a D3R for 3 years, and used to drop the gears and run at 3K revs very regularly to prevent any dpf issues. I now have a B4 so just drive in 'D' all the time.

Small battery icon just above the 1/2 sign on tank level gauge

Hi I have a B4 awd and this battery icon turns to blue indicating it is being charged when I brake. When I collected the car it showed about 3/4 full, now a month and 500 miles in it still shows 3/4 full. Does it ever indicate full or empty please?
