Definitely a sensible choice. If you'd taken ownership it'd be a nightmare for you to sort the tax situation out.

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

Hello Sean, It’s now Wednesday following you joining and posting your request for help on Monday. Mark has given you a most helpful reply, but it appears you have not returned to the forum to read, let alone acknowledge, the help you have been given. Please don’t continue this ‘Post and run’ tactic. Regards, Gareth.

Hello Holly, I can understand you being the parts chaser, otherwise you are paying the mechanic for his time to do so. Having said that, I don’t know exactly how you are going about this, where you have looked to date, whether you are set on secondhand parts, and all important - do you know the part number of the hub you are searching for. Perhaps you could colour in this detail for us Holly. Regards, Gareth.

Thank-you for your advice, it’s appreciated.

These is my configuration .

Denise. I have merged your identical topics. Please do not create duplicates.

I think they're meant to be on all the time, I just found this on another site In UK, new type approvals (ie new models introduced) after Feb 2011 had to have always on front DRLs. Hope that helps Jason.

I started my car a couple weeks ago and accidentally blipped the throttle while it was on cold start and got this horrible rattle that I can produce every time, it now does it for a split second when first cranking the car. Does this sound like the chain? Thanks https://youtube.com/shorts/x58XhvWhios?si=z8ipEYDhh-ZZeeoB

Sad to say I'm selling what has been my pride and joy for the last 4 years. Honestly gutted to be selling but I have a new job that comes with a company car benefit too good to ignore (making the jump to EV...). 3 owners, full service history and I've just had all 4 alloys refurbished, she's running great and looks even better.

Seen a few comments that say sonos takes more time to adjust to your liking than b&o.

Any comment on the last three replies Dm? I know you have seen them.

Thanks for the quick response! I was suspecting a worn rubber bush or but always worry it might be more (praying its not!). There's no leaking fluid anyway but I will update as soon as I get it looked at.

The very first week I had my new 35TFSI a stone from a lorry hit my headlight and cracked it. I was gutted. I see it is possible to replace just the glass (plastic). Has anyone done this? Can anyone tell me how to remove the headlight? Is it an easy job? Thanks.

Hi was there any joy in getting it fixed?

Hi i had the same issue - did you ever get it sorted?

I thought that but wouldn't that result in cold air coming from all the vents?

Thx - that’s great!

New MAF sensor installed. Both fault codes cleared. Only problem will be how long the MAF sensor lasts this time. If anyone has any thoughts on where to fo with loom investigation that'd be appreciated.

Hi, im having a similar issue as to Gillian with the car Alarm, i have a Audi A7 where the alrm is going off randomly, ive actuality disconnected the interior sensor inside above the drivers rear mirror as i was thinking it was an inside problem but its still going off, would be handy if anyone knows where the other sensors are as i could do the same to try and irradicate the isssue, Thanks in advance if anyone can help Gordon

Thanks Colin, The handbook should give you choice which was available, but will not tell you what the car was fitted with at build. Just wondering why you want to know, and what the car is fitted with now. Regards, Gareth.

Hi everyone, First time poster here. I'm driving a 2021 A5 Sportback and am noticing a sharp plastic creaking sound coming from the glove box area when going over speed bumps or dips in the road. On occasions I also get this noise on the drivers side too. It's noticeably worse when the car is hot and have a feeling it's the piano gloss black plastic that sits above the door handle and also to the right of the steering wheel on the dash. When pushing it, it feels very brittle and makes a plasticy sounding creak which is the noise I think I'm hearing. This is my second car of the same model and both cars did it. Does anyone else have the same issue or know what the fix could be? I've attached some photos of the offending areas. Any advice would be great. Thanks you!

Thanks Gareth. Got some money back from dealer, using the diagnostic report as evidence. Did a dpf cleaner run through the tank, it's not come on since, but there's numerous records on the obd of egr valve. Dealer paying for 40% of valve replacement (plus cooler) as I've had only 2 events since I had it and they should have checked it before sale. I don't want to cause any more problems to engine and emissions system by ignoring it, so going ahead this Wednesday.

Thanks Akash, please let us know how you get on.
