Welcome Mark, I fear you are about to throw your money away by engaging in this ‘carbon clean’ - a bit like putting on your best designer gear, when you haven’t changed your underpants for a week! If it were mine:- Check how much fuel is in it - hopefully not much - and add 2 gallons of E5 to which you have added a fair dose of Redex. (See this morning’s response to a similar issue with an aging convertible). Get it plugged in and find what codes are showing. It seems you have been told it has service history, but you have not seen the evidence before committing to buy. Bit of a chance taken there, but…. I would certainly keep my ‘carbon clean’ funds as far down in my pocket to render it inaccessible. Please let us know how you get on Mark. Regards, Gareth.

Many thanks Gregg. Now understandable in knowledge of stale fuel. I would suggest you only use E5, and add a fair slosh of Redex to every gallon. Well worth treating it to an oil and filter change using respected branded filters and oil. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hi im new to the group, wondering if anyone can help. I had an issue with my car, engine was only reaching around 70 degree temp. So had the main thermostat replaced. Now the car does reach 90 and stays there well, but it takes a long time to get there. Maybe 30mins of driving. Obviously isnt normal still. Ive been told to change the 2nd thermostat by some other owners, but when i give my engine code to suppliers, they are telling me i dont have that part in my engine. Anyone resolved the slow warm up issue? Engine CJCD. 2.0 Diesel CVT thanks alot, look forword to any replies

Great advice and great jobs done. Sorry to hear you've got a power drain. Keep us posted on how you get on. Could it be the imobiliser?

Still shows as two broken play symbols on mine so just did two screen shots to show what it looked like.

I assume the large wheels will have very low profile tyres, an arrangement that is known to produce a much harsher ride than normal, so it's reasonable to believe that is what has knocked out springs and bearings. Not sure about the drive shafts.

2.0 TDI metallic ticking noise from bottom of engine
Steve Q replied to jc07030's topic in Audi A3 (8V) Forum
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.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 -
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 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.
