Stunning. I do love an A8 d3 👍

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

Thank you Tony. By what I can see you stated you ‘ cleaned the dizzy cap and rotor arm’ - not quite the same? I think I’ll dip out of this one.

Hi Skiduk I’ve got the same A6 model, had it 3 years now and still love it , Ive used Derby Audi for servicing which has been under Audis All in service plan. My front brakes pad are down to 70% wear and Audi have just quoted me £1050 just for front discs and pads, I’m going to do them myself and have managed to get the parts for £350 . Rear spring mount rubber’s corroding was an mot advisory when the car was 4 years old, Audi quited me £320 each side for replacing them but did them myself rubber mount were £50 , Tyres Continental x4 £860 . My A6 has had 2 faults in the it’s 5 years which were both rear door locks playing up and they were replaced and a brake servo restriction fault ! That was a little pressure switch near the servo that monitors vacuum, both fault were repaired under the all in warranty . I don’t think it’s been bad at all personally Hope this helps mate

Hi all, I bought this lovely S8 knowing it had an abs pump issue. I purchased a 2nd hand abs pump which had the exact like for like part numbers however, I can't get the thing to code successfully. The old faulty unit can't be read either to copy the codes. Does anyone know how to code the replaced unit to the car? Im happy to pay whatever the price is and I can travel too. Thanks

My 2022 Q5 PHEV will take a charge and will display it has 23 miles on the charge and within 2-3 miles the battery is completely depleted. Any advice on what to do would be appreciated.

Thanks for your advice Clifford. It wasn't what I wanted to hear but it is what it is, I guess. I have already been in contact with the two leads you supplied. Any idea what the scrap value of my car is? Kind regards, Colin Dimes.

I'm only on my second Audi but it does seem that water ingress, electrical issues, and a combination of the two are a constant problem whatever the age of the car. It's like owning a 1970's Alfasud but without the rust. Shame as I really love styling and the way they get down the road.

The old trick for cleaning the inside of a fuel tank was to throw in a handful of nut (the ones that go on bolts, not the KP variety!) and then shake your moneymaker like your life depended on it, obviously removing anything like fuel sender etc first.

Oh ok thanks , I took it to him with a clicking when turning left , got it back and the clicking was gone , but now have the single knock when initial acceleration in drive and reverse . So hopefully the 2nd new outer cv joint will fix this .

Well done.

who knows why the machine says wiltshire clifford.also the dates wrong,as i had it checked today lol

Thanks! In fact I've spent 2.500 Euros so far to get a promising 2.5Tdi for another 200.000Km without any more issues than the regular oil change. Every year I've spent like 4k Euros on my old car, a Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0 Ingenium. So... 2.5K Euros for some "peace" is quite good for me! 😁 Cheers

How do I check that?

i bought an audi a 4 b8 with bills and with one bill it said clutch high.it showed no signs of slipping then 3.5 years later it suddenly started to go then went completely while on a busy by pass.all changed including fly wheel £1500 garage in north yorkshire

This is sorted now I pulled relay 208 pulled the injectors bridged the relay and lifted the flap on the metering head. Eventually got a good delivery of fuel from each injector. But no spark back to it.

Thx for your quick response I will have a look

Tim. If you look through the forum history you will see that changing from tungsten to LED is far from straightforward, and sometimes impossible. If your lights are dim it would be simpler to just renew the bolbs. Incandescant lights do become dim over time.

Is there a link for the stickers please

I’m about to start looking for an SQ5 between 2017 and 2019 and I’m undecided to which engine to go for was hoping to get some feedback on reliability between the TFSI and the TDI many thanks, Alan Reed

I bought another replace screen that definitely works but it still had the same probably and I’m not sure what else to do?

Please contact Trevor the Audi owners club administrator. His user name is Audi owners club. As the club is managed by a limited company I suspect you'd be in breach of copyright. Trevor can send them out to you

Did anyone get to the bottom of this problem as we are now experiencing the same thing?
