Often get multiple faults after disconnecting the battery. Need to leave it disconnected for about 30 mins. Usually clears after driving a couple of miles. If the airbag light stays on a useful fault code reader is OBDeleven that also resets fault codes. Basic version is about £50 and pro version about £80. Since dealers charge about £100 to run a diagnostic they are worth considering.

Think i have found the correct locations. The picture listed in the haynes workshop manual page 1A.10 calls this the filler but it looks to be the drain plug. The filler looks to be located higher up at the back of the gear box. The picture with the drive shaft shows the drain plug 17mm hex in the lower section. Other picture shows the filler plug just sticking out at the rear of the gear box. Will give this a go next weekend if the weather stays dry.

Get new fans with housing?

Update - received my obdeleven today and plugged it in. 3 persistent faults. MAF - understandable as unplugged Fault code 01314 Fault code 01592 Anyone think that either of these could contribute? Could 01314 be due to maf being unplugged?

Good. Your mechanic should have warned you of the potential for failure. Perhaps consider going elsewhere next time.

This might help but check the engine code https://r-techperformance.co.uk/axx-bwa-tfsi-k04-turbo-conversion/ Obviously it won't make the power on this website unless you add a whole load of supporting hardware. If you don't change the fuel pump at least change the follower if not already. Same with the PCV will most probably fail with more boost, rocker gaskets often go also. My TT has the KO4 from the standard since it uses the CDL engine. I got compressor surge trying to get past 350BHP so I had to get a better turbo and ditch the stock KO4

Maybe, but lack of coding can lead to the new battery being damaged by the charging circuits so I still suggest you get it tested.

I think this stage im just paranoid about my A6 , I've waited for years to get one as I could never afford one before in my life and I have now finally got the one I wanted " my dream machine " ( a 10 year old a6 I suppose some would say it's not much of a dream ) , but not that I have it im listening out for every knock and click and i find myself actually to nervous to enjoy it , with the fear of a major bill . And the thought of major gearbox damage has me actually sick to my stomach. I think it's time I just drive it and enjoy it , because it is a joy to drive . Thanks

That takes me back 50 years. I must have been mad, but I got away with it.

Thanks Brian, Autodoc has had mention in relation to the supply of incorrect parts. I’ve never been affected by this, because I don’t buy from them, preferring not to pay highish postage charges compared with other suppliers. Regards, Gareth.

Absolutely Martin - it’s your car, and you are free to do with it what you will, and my feeling is that any advice given ( when asked for) which doesn’t concur with your views, will be ignored. I certainly won’t be chasing you again for a thread-closing update, since I feel the tread will remain as ‘unsolved’ anyway.

Glad you got it sorted out.

Its with an auto electrician atm so I'll let him know to double check that Thanks buddy ill let you know if it works or what the issue was otherwise Best Saad

Does anybody know the paint code for the Matt Metallic Grey Lower Skirt on the 2016 8V. I can't find a reference to this on any of the documentation. I assume this is a standard colour across all body colours? My body colour is Monsoon Grey.

Good luck Tom, hope it's nothing too expensive/serious, let us know how you get on mate.
