Welcome Jason, Useful comments would need more information- e.g mileage, service history, number of owners, last change of owner etc. etc. Could you let us know what ‘homework’ you have already carried out on the car - to minimise the risk of the forum suggesting information seeking that you have already done? How far are you travelling to view the car? ‘… Stage 1 map’… May suggest the car has been driven with a style from ‘enthusiastic’ to ‘thrashed’. Not a good start for an 11 year old luxury car. U Regards, Gareth.

Bought a new battery

Hi all I need to replace the drivers side rear door on my 2024 B9.5 Saloon after my wife lost a fight with a brick wall whilst driving it… Couple of questions - can I use a door from an Avant or are they different? Seeing conflicting information online… I think the part numbers are the same but want to confirm before purchasing! And I don’t trust ChatGPT enough! Also, would a B9 door fit without issue as well? Found quite a few online in the right colour (Daytona Grey) but most are either from an Avant, or a B9 model. Any help much appreciated!

I agree that Lane Assist is an annoying feature. Where I live in rural Northumberland the country lanes are narrow, and in many places the shoulder is badly potholed. Where safe, it's often necessary to drive close to the centre line to avoid the potholes, but of course Lane Assist is constantly trying to steer me back.

Great! very helpful to know what I might be looking at. Many thanks.

My understanding is Audi just change the oil, however there's a mesh filter which needs cleaned. Pretty sure it will be 5 generation Haldex.

Hi guys, I recently purchased an OBDeleven device and scanned my car. It's showing fault code P191A00. I checked the camshaft adaptation (Bank 1) value, and it's reading between 0.70 and 0.86°, which seems to be well within the normal range. Could this still indicate a faulty crankshaft or camshaft position sensor, or is the issue likely to be something else? Would it be worth replacing either sensor, or are there other checks I should carry out first? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks guys. That’s what I was thinking. 😩 I wonder has anyone else had this problem with there SQ5? What are people’s thoughts on Poole Audi also?

Wasted words I am afraid, Richard. Neil has not returned to the forum since his message of 13th July.

Hi could be an auxiliary water pump they use these to circulate the water if the weather is hot after the engine is stopped it prevents cooking the cylinder head, by the looks of the coolant temp it was already hot when you started the car. Steve.

hi all I have a set of roof bars for a 19 plate A7 if any one is looking , they have never been on a car and a bargain at 190 plus postage , based in Malvern

Thanks for letting us know. I'll lock this topic.

Hello Bob, The forum is looking for some feedback from you, on the help you asked for. Thanks. Gareth.

Vibration could be anything, wheel balance, bearing, brakes. Wheel balance is as good a place to start - relatively inexpensive. Bearings usually have constant drone from 40mph up and really bad ones will have a wobble. Brakes, then sticky caliper will force contact with disc. You can usually smell. Drive for 10-15 minutes and coast to a stop. Brakes may be warm, but definitely not hot. If all that checks out, the only other thing is suspension arms. You'll normally feel a clunk over uneven road surfaces. If car has auto lights - it may be ambient light sensor. VCDS might mick this up in a scan.

Hi Nigel. I drive to Ireland several times a year and I always have to go in to the menu to change it over to kms. Hope that helps.

The three-button reset didn't fix it. Looks like I'm doing more investigation. I tried a scan tool which sadly returned no errors... Thanks for your suggestions guys.. If I find anything else, I'll come back with that later.

Hi guys and girls. Hope this is okay. Thought this was a New Zealand site when joining. I crashed my A6 c5 wide-body 2002 Audi. And before I send to wreckers seeing if anyone needs parts. I have owned it for 14 years now and spend bit of money making it stronger. Rebuild trans, abs system, cooling system, made from two cars. Regn on hold.

Hi get it scanned for faults, then come back and we can help.

Thank you for your advice

I can recommend this place, though you may feel it is too far from Esher. It's where I took my 2007 A3 during my ownership. https://msautoservices.com/

Hi CZG engine means it could be a 2.5 engine in which case its chain driven. Steve.

Thank you for your reply, you’re right I need to find a good specialist I have contacted many garages they say they don’t do big jobs and clueless I will try to find someone. Thanks again

Thank you. When I’ve cleaned and got the cobwebs off of him I think I’ll advertise on here. Not sure how to find a price though
