  2. Hi yes I paint a bit so not a problem to do that I only thought of wrapping them for two reasons really one I can take it off if I change my mind and two I think a decent vinyl would be less susceptible to chips from road debris

  4. Hi Steve I believe this to be the case. I have a 2008 1.6 8v a3 sline and have looked for it countless times ive had the pipe off between the filter and the throttle body and there's nothing there, my car is idling badly and i want to change the throttle body but Autodoc Sent the wrong one and also change the MAF if I can find it. Thanks Steve Dale
  5. Hi all vehicles are fitted with a MAF sensor its on the induction side between the air box and before the turbo normally a cylinder with a plug attracted to it, inside is a coated diode which is heated up and then allowed to be cooled by the incoming air this tells the ECU the temperature of the air as well as humidity, the ECU adjusts the injection accordingly based on the correlation of information from the MAP,MAF, and throttle position sensor on the peddle, all of these items need to be adapted when replaced to maintain synchronicity within the system. Steve.
  6. Warning light went out driving home , car gave a little hiccup thought I had run over something , only airbag light left on . Warning light back on this morning though ? Date and time wrong I noticed had to reset sat nav to auto ECU ? or still possible alternator ? thought since I was driving at 30 in a straight line unlikely bad connection Can't get on a machine till May as all garages booked solid in Shetland groan
  7. Hi Steve There is a setting to turn off the pre-sense but it restarts once you restart the car. Yes a complete pain in the rear. I did clean the car and this did not make any difference.
  8. if only i could find a pinout diagram i could check wires etc.... seems to be no useful info on these 1.6 tdi engines anywhere online. Wiring seems to look good, i put a new plug on for the egr as the prior ones tab had snapped off, triple checked wiring is in the same place as the oem plug
  9. Hi yes you do have to relearn a new unit, but it would suggest a wiring fault easy enough to check visualy, but if its done loads of miles it might just be better to let it go rather than drive yourself nuts and spend money trying to cure a problem that solved might only net you another £100. Steve.
  10. Hi these cameras are a pain in the backside, Esther not a menu on the dash that disables it I have it on a new VW I have bought but at least I can turn it off on the dash, apparently they are affected by rod film on the windscreen and getting to hot, might be worth getting the update and the lens's on the unit cleaned. Steve.
  11. Good evening, i have recently just replaced my egr unit due to the code p403, i have now replaced with a brand new borgwarner unit, was no vw units in stock. I'm now receiving code p407 circuit low, do i have to adapt the new egr into my ecm? or does it do it automatically, i cant find a pinout for the wiring to test if its the wiring, Honestly so close to getting rid of the car as spares or repairs, its currently listed on eBay but would love to be able to fix it first and sell it as a working car, please any pointers would be greatly appreciated ive run out of ideas.
  12. Hi Jason Haven't got back on here as im still waiting to send the throttle body back to Autodoc. They have to be the worst company to deal with. Whilst im on this subject, do you know where or if I have a MAF sensor. Thanks Dale
  13. Hi try LLL carparts they have a catalogue online the only bit you will needs your VIN code that should give you the part number, with regard to aftermarket as long as you don't buy Made in China they are generally spot on as Audi don't make the parts they buy them from Valeo or Febi or whoever sells to them at a preferential price. Steve.
  14. Hi I have an A5 Sportback 2017. The last few months the Pre-sense fault has been re-occurring frequently and its damn annoying. The fault code is B11CE15 which is the heater open fault. I have read somewhere about someone going into Longcodeing and switching the heater off to prevent the fault occurring. I have OBDeleven but never done any longcoding. Anyone here familiar with it? The car is out of any warranty and the price for a replacement camera and calibrating is ridiculous, especially for a system I don't really want. I took it to our local Audi specialist centre who stated it was not something they could do but did inform me there was an update for it outstanding which may solve the problem, but did notice misting in the camera. Anybody got any suggestions?
  15. Hi as long as you buy the slightly more expensive error free bulbs its perfectly ok, I don't think your interior bulbs are monitored anyway, could be wrong but if you use error free its not going to be a problem. Steve.
  16. Hi All, As most don't follow up on posts & its been a few months since swapping my front discs, I thought I'd do the right thing & give an honest update. The relatively cheap Audura discs & pads from Europarts, that I fitted, are very performing very well with absolutely no issues, no brake judder & they stop the car exactly as they should. I would recommend this particular brand especially if one is on a budget.
  17. Hello Alex, As Cliff says. So are you saying you haven’t got, or can’t get, a hard copy of the owner’s handbook? That would surprise me. It used to be 5w 30, but you would need to check that, either by obtaining a copy of the handbook, or buying a litre of the correct oil at your local dealer. As well as needing to know the grade, you will also need to know the VAG specification within that grade - used to be …..504?. from memory, so don’t quote me on that. Do you need this oil to top up, or do you want it to do an oil change? If the latter, then I always use the VAG brand by Quantum - available from a number of EBay suppliers. Perhaps you could come back to us. Kind regards, Gareth.
  18. Hi All, Does anybody know if switching out interior lights to LED's would bring up a canbus error? Thanks
  19. That's the way to do it if you can.
  20. just as the title what oil do i use ? please help Alex
