I bought the above in Feb this year,not my first Audi,with standard 17" alloys. One week later I put on a set of genuine 20" Rotors with correct tyre size ,profile etc. The next day a front spring snapped while parked up. I replaced both springs, since then I've had to replace both front bearings and driveshafts. All inside 2k miles. The car had 90k on it. So? Was this just mileage sensitive wear or have these wheels been the cause? Wheel alignment was done when fitting the bigger wheels. Just unlucky?

2.0 TDI metallic ticking noise from bottom of engine

I'd get this into a garage asap. Let's hope it's a chain and not the crankshaft etc. -

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up or get an auto electrician to take a look.

New member Doncaster area looking for repairs/ service

Still knocking, has been to three garages now, no one seems able to diagnose the issue just want to start swapping out parts which I'm not keen to do as it gets pricey, battery was diagnosed as faulty (replaced and wasn't the original), TPMS sensors seem to have a mind of their own.....TBH is feeling a bit flaky as a vehicle, had multiple BMWs before this and never suffered this many faults this side of 100K

Pleasure Glyn. We look forward to hearing of the outcome.

Hello Paul, A simple point, but the replaced bag would now be 6 months out of its 1 year warranty, so…. So is it/isn’t the offender? We cannot know because we don’t have access to the vehicle, but it’s surprising how many replacement parts aren’t of sufficient quality to survive beyond the warranty period. Some of the Range Rover models use air suspension systems, so might be well worth your while to search out and tap into experience there. Another alternative would be to seek advice from Bagpipingandy (Ebay and probably website) - obviously north of the border. This is one of the most experienced pioneering chaps on all things air suspension. Please let us know how you get on Paul. Regards, Gareth.

Non-manual choke? If so, could be the cold start/ coolant temperature sender which is at fault. This would be the sender which assesses the coolant temperature and signals the degree of fuel enrichment required. Regards, Gareth.

It did work actually, twice. Perhaps there is a delay before it shows on the forum. I have to add that I will not download anything like this from untrusted sources, though I daresay most people are happy to do so.

Hello Alan, If it were mine:- (1) Call in to your nearest main dealer’s Parts Dept. and enquire about the price and availability there. ( are there any electrical connectors very near/within this T piece? by the way?). (2) If they won’t give you the part number - which is quite likely - have a look on LLL Parts website, and you may find it there. (3) Thoroughly search EBay and EBay International to see if you can find one on there. (4) Register your ‘want’ with on-line car breaker link sites. Partsfinder is one of many. Please let us know how you get on. Regards, Gareth.

As a quick update (which may or may not help others!) I ended up cancelling with Audi and reinsuring with them to kick this out another year within their expiry dates (which means I can hopefully also sort issues with my NCD out too!). Adrian Flux were well over £2k, eSure and Audi v similar around £1500. Interestingly the front end for UKI is Churchill and Directline, neither of which will underwrite performance cars!

I’ve got a 2014 Q7 and same happened to me last year in the Lake District, at 10pm on a Sunday night. Problem is, the pulley shouldn’t be rusting away like that, it a low quality part that Audi could easily have put right. My pulley was £350, from a local car parts place, VW were asking £550 at the time (parts - not fitted). If people can get them for £96 from ECP I’d recommend doing it as preventive maintenance as you can’t really drive without it. Shame really - I’d expect parts like that to fail on a Citroen C1 but not a Q7!

Could be a relay, also check continuity of the wiring if you can trace back.

Yes up to the max level then drops down past min but I tend to top it up before the warning light appears.

Hello, I am looking for A3 1.5 TFSI ED 1 or S Line with Bang & Olufsen 2020 onwards. Daytona Grey colour, budget is £20K thank you. -
That the air flow reduces suggests an electronic problem. Best to get the system diagnosed.

Thank you

It certainly is! No matter how old the cars get the bills and parts remain expensive

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 the Highlands are beautiful where abouts are you based? -
Electronic oil level sensors have reputation for unreliability, so it's likely you need to fit a new one. In the meantime refer to the physical dip stick if you have one.
