Right… Audi s4 4.2 v8, 78k genuine miles with full Audi service history. Just under 11 months MOT. Why would this be worth more scrap when it could literally be just a case of replacing valves? Money isn’t an issue for me as I’ve already stated… FOR ME ITS LEARNING or did you miss that part?

I got both the hubs and bearing kit from ebay with the bearing kit £17.50 ea included both bolts from carpartsinmotion they had good feedback and the hubs purely on price 2 front for £50 from brillbuyuk although they have good feedback

I have the knob in the boot on the right, the light goes from red to green etc, however when turning and holding I can’t release the tow bar, that means I can’t deploy is there anywhere I can spray or check the solenoid

Hi all help is needed here please i I bought my c6 Allroad about 12 months ago, the seller said the backup camera needed calibration I’ve looked around etc as I was told it should work but a blank screen through mmi 2g high is more likely a hardware fault. i have changed the switch box on the right hand side, I have fitted a 3rd party camera. Then I found the Audi only works on a 5v system so with 3rd party camera I boosted the v to 12v and bingo I have a picture. i have now bought an original camera and back to a blank screen so boosted to 12v and it works. i was then told it’s the mmi screen so I have updated to an android radio and again blank 12v and it works how do I increase the power to the camera or is there something wrong else where? many thanks

I agree a second opinion would be worthwhile, however I think you will be very lucky to win a warranty claim on a six year old car.

Yeah the rear part has come off at the front section but the front part the screws are very rusty and loose really want to get it changed. Have seen some parts on Ebay but unsure if correct part. Thanks again for time its greatly appreciated 👍

Aircon compressor could be at fault. Has the system been pressure tested?

Keep us posted on how you get on

Let us know how you get on John.

Welcome Graham, Have you searched EBay, and registered your want with on-line car breaker link sites such as Partsfinder - there are more? Regards, Gareth.

Thank you Frank, Your case is unusual. Usually,owners want to buy larger diameter wheels, because ‘they look better’! Ride quality is obviously important to you ( and would be to me), but in effect, you have bought the wrong car by buying an S.Line, which has inherently harder suspension. My money would be on the likelihood that you bought the car on ‘looks and toys’, which Audi translate into ‘owner also wants roadholding at the expense of ride quality’. One other factor to consider is whether your current tyres are extra load (XL), since if so, this will aggravate the already harsh ride. Please let us know.

Sounds a lot like my old issue with 2.0 FSI petrol, but yours is diesel and what solved my issue you've already tried to do. For me it was high and low fuel pressure sensors, in diesel probably there is only one ? or out of 2 you've replaced only 1 ? but yeah I've got nothing more to add to that.

They are Matrix LED I believe as they have the large projector lens on the outside and a myriad of lenses towards the centre.

Hello everyone! Here I am back with some major updates! I picked up the car from my mechanic after completing all the work mentioned earlier. The car is running great—in fact, I’ve already driven over 2,500 km with it since I bought it. There’s still a bit of uncertainty with cold starts, but aside from that, I’m really enjoying a solid and very pleasant car to drive on a daily basis. Over time, I’m noticing a few "notes" about the car, including: I replaced the tires with some high-performance (and fresh) Hankook ones, which significantly improved driving comfort. Unfortunately, I discovered that 3 out of 4 alloy wheels are bent and need to be repaired. Indeed, at around 100 km/h, there’s a strong vibration in the steering wheel, and after 3 balancing attempts, nothing has changed. Regarding the uncertain cold start, my mechanic and I first agreed to use four full tanks of diesel with the addition of Bardahl Top Diesel+. I’m currently on the fourth tank and the issue persists, so we’re going to try something stronger, like mineral oil for 2-stroke engines, to try to "unblock" and clean the Bosch pump from any accumulated sludge. If that doesn’t help, we’ll proceed with replacing the camshaft position sensor and, if necessary, overhaul the pump. Fuel consumption has finally settled into a very interesting range. In fact, I’m now getting 13 km/l (30 MPG). What can I say... I’m really happy!

I got same issue had water dried it up now seat not working do u spray contact cleaner on swich side of seat to?

It's the intercooler pump. A member had a similar issue the other day: https://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/198777-P-190-d

You need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Also what engine has the car got? Does it happen in certain weather or temperature conditions? Any warning lights on? Any recent other work done to the car?

Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Hi Riflo, What a diamond. Thanks Paul

Does that mean the bean counters have been working at at SKF and Timken? I've not heard of F. A. G.

I have changed the largely meanless title HELP to something that more accurately represents the problem in order that it can more easily be found by others with a similar problem.

Thanks Nicholas. If any other sufferers of this problem decide to try this fix please report your findings here.

Just one way of you getting the roof down to enjoy the sunshine

They should just be revisions the M being the newest.

Definitely need more details but I'd consider the thermostat especially if the temp gauge is fluctuating or not rising to 90 degrees.
