Hi. We have a large panel of insurers that we use. Please feel free to take a look at the below link which list all the insurer we deal with. Insurer Policy Booklets | Adrian Flux Adrian Flux Regards, Dan.

Parasitic loss is a bit vague. How many amps are being drained from the battery? The handbrake switch under the brake lever may be what you are hearing. It would be worth looking at its condition.

Has anyone experienced both banks having oil leaking out of the exhaust manifolds? I’ve been told could be injector seals or PCV??

That's better. Having some explanatory detail gives us a chance to provide some assistance. When you filled with oil did add the recommended measured quantity, or did you simply fill to the line on the dip stick?

Tell us what the second opinion was. The evidence you have presented so far all points to an air bag. The fact that it is fairly new does not mean it can not be defective.

Thank you

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

That’s 4 supply only , quoted to a local garage ( could he be being a bit naughty)it seems in unbelievable 2 me, all I require is to get motor back on road, your thoughts would be appreciated. Alan

Does that mean it uses a reservoir full of coolant in 2 to 2.5 K miles?

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.

I have had multiple issues with this Avant. I have Emmisions light/MIL in orange and can hear water sloshing/running behind the dash audi Multimedia centre. Strange noise whining when driving worse as you go faster.... Symptoms of temp gauge on car reads 90°, temp on my OBDII scanner states its 100° fans are working, coolant has been changed m, burped etc, no external leaks, no evidence of coolant going down. It's now been to 4 garages..paid for Disagnostics x4, as a women...all mechanics saying different things, they have said its fuel, new petrol cap, x 4 new coil packs, spark plugs, oil and filter, PCV, It's had new fuel rail, new PCV separator in 2021, spark plugs 12 months ago. Serviced.. I've changed MAP, Temp new sensors..I've reset the TPS... Oil cap is sucking on when engine starts which suggests PCV again ?? I have noticed oil stains down the back of the engine from cam cover Any ideas? Water pump? Thermostat? Main oil seal...intake leak?

Hi. I have an unused rear dog guard for a A6 Avant. I think it fits between the rear seats and the luggage space, didn't have a dog so never used. If any body would like it the price would be...........Free of charge!! Tony

Hello. Thanks for looking in. So I have a 2008 A3 E 104 TDI. As mentioned, it is having a problem with intermittent throttle loss. Almost feels like it's braking or dropping gear. The odb shows no error codes, no engine warning light. It doesn't make any unusual noises. Runs great for a while, 4 miles or so, then drags. I've noticed on hills the accelerator dies altogether until released, then ok for a second, then dies again. Had it at the mechanics who replaced the butterfly valve, but it has not fixed the problem. It runs great, before it doesn't. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello bud what was the outcome for you? I’m having similar issues on a 1.9

Hello Jax, Taking it you are DIYing this service -? If so what brand and grade oil are you using, and what brands of oil, air and pollen filters? Current mileage and when last serviced? Regards, Gareth.

The sensors come in a matt black plastic. I actually thing that sensor is painted. I could be wrong, but there looks like a corrosion on the surface. Check with Audi, I think it’s called platinum gray and finished in satin matt. Removing the wheel arch isn’t too big a deal. You need to twist the old sensor out and unhook the wiring anyway, so even tight access isn’t likely to work.

Edited to add. I will split if anyone wants the wheel or tyre separately.

Gave mine a bit of a clean up so thought I'd share a pic of how she's looking after a year in my hands. Think I've finished all the modifying and retrofitting for now so just enjoying the driving.

Very nice. One of my friends who's a member on here lives in Bergen.
