Hi, I’ve already had it on vcds once to check the turbo but I think im gona try get it put on again for the building blocks, will post an update when I get one.

Having just watched a few videos on the matter I now appreciate the problem of the foam detaching from the lining. The orange foam looks very like the stuff used in upholstery that crumbles and degrades as it ages.

Hi, I never bothered when I found it how much of the dash had to come out. I just use the max windscreen button for the few times a year the flap motor gets it wrong, always seems to be on the warmest days.

When you remove the glove box, the is a cable connected near the footwell light, has 5 wires I think, this connects the footwell, glovebox and this

Fantastic news 😊

No probs at all 🙂

My 3.2 dsg is a little jerky at about 2krpm, like it's going to stall by over fuelling, the mk5 r32s also have this.

You need to get a loom converter, no cutting of wires at all. I have a non Bose concert and fitted a pioneer MVH-S240DAB. Only thing added was a powered dab antenna, the kit came with a patch lead to enable the use of the rear speakers and subwoofer.

Least yours is easy, my dsg has 2 drain plugs, strange I know.

When the child lock is disengaged, the door only opens from the outside

No they didn't. I would have taken that if I could. Tony

EBay, breaking Audi 80’s

Hi guys please forgive me if this has been asked many time I have tried looking if it has but still learning how to navigate the site. I am looking for a honey comb grille for my a4 b8 avant s line will this all I look at say not suitable for s line. Anyone purchased and fitted one? If so please guide me to where you obtained it many thanks in advance and apologies if asked before regards Tim

Yeah it’s all just nuts and bolts at the end of the day!! The actuator only seems to have a threaded nut to set it so I think if I could find the tolerance or measurement online it’s not too tricky. There were no issues with the oil feed and no leaks. Gaskets were all fine except for the one between the manifold and the EGR so I replaced that one. I’m using an Ancel VD700 to read codes etc but it’s not throwing out any codes. As a side note I’ve driven 300 miles today and it’s not happened so it’s one of those intermittent things. I’ll find it at some point I guess!!

Many thanks, I’ll give it a go 👍

Check the fuses!

Waxoil won't stop the corrosion. The alloy insert is there to strengthen the rubber suspension seat. It corrodes from the inside. Leave it and you risk the spring breaking. Easier to replace on a 2WD car. On quattro, you can remove lower shock mount. You need a piston jack to extend lower trailing arm down. Worst case scenario, loosen subframe bolt a few turns too. No need to undo the eccentric bolt either.

Hello, I cant find them on there but thanks for the heads up, I made sure when i got these they were actually new stock not already a few years old like many have on offer. I Got these for my A8 so thought maybe a popular size to offer to members.

Hi all. Really sorry I forgot to post. This is how it went with Audi, Oldham. The technician told me that the diagnostic found no faults and that the issue was that I had deselected intelligent coasting in the MMI. He told me that he activated it again, drove up and down the motorway, and all is well. So…when I went to collect the car, and although I told him that the intelligent coasting mode had been switched off since new, he was adamant that this is what the issue was. Anyway, since being plugged in the diagnostic, and intelligent coasting off again, it’s back to normal !? I think a reset of the ‘brain’ of the car must have been done, but I wasn’t told that. in conclusion, when the electric charge is depleted, it shuts off the petrol engine into regen electric just as it should. The complete opposite to the issue I had, which was that the car never shut off the petrol engine, and instead decided to charge the battery, which resulted in sub 20 mpg for two weeks of driving. Again, sorry for this very late post and that I can’t be more helpful. Andrew

A ticking noise started on my car but it was hit or miss like i’d turn off my car go chill and then when i’d go back the ticking was gone then later on when i’d start up the car the ticking is back and just yesterday while i was driving it was ticking then the ticking went and a steering malfunction light came up so i went and pulled over started up the car again. And saw all driving assists were turned off. If you’ve experienced this please help me cause i’m struggling to diagnose the issue and people have been telling me it’s the steering rack but i’m not sure.

Price Paul? Regards, Gareth.

SD card will only work if sat nav is enabled on the MMI. If it's not enabled then its roughly a £500 job at the main dealer.

New owner of Audi S1 year 2017, no working sat nav. Local service garage advised of sd card off amazon or ebay but don't seem to find one. Any suggestions please

Glad to hear you got it sorted Flatspell. To be fair, unless the garage specialise in Audi's, they may not know about this specific issue. They'll just replace the part that's likely to be the issue after a diagnosis scan.

If it is secondhand parts you want go to a car breaker. Why the clause about upgrading?
