Hi All I am interested in purchasing a 2021 A3 TFSIe but it does not have the Adaptive Cruise Control and people have mentioned that you can purchase this from FOD. How do you control the function if your purchase it as the car I am looking at does not have the function button on the cruise control stalk on the steering wheel ? Many thanks on advance

Hi...looking for some assistance on my MMI system in the 2017 Q7. Looking for part # 4M1035040, if anybody has obe available

Hi I want to buy a 2011 Audi a4 2.0 TFSI Dynamik S Tronic quattro It is 84k miles in the UK. But no service history. The guy is selling it for 6600. Is it risky buying this car

I am wondering if anyone else has come across the following problem we are experiencing at the moment, the warning light come on in the car and we booked in to Marshalls at Maidstone my local dealer, it was diagnosed to have the above, we was then told that the repairs would not be carried out under the warranty and used the term driver profiling due to too many short trips, which I cannot understand as I travel from Maidstone to London at least 3 times a week and to my company's HQ in Suffolk weekly , would be grateful for any feedback if anyone else has had issues.

You won't find defective CV joints with a crowbar. You need to clamp self locking grips onto the drive shaft and rotate it violently to detect any rotational slack. The gearbox needs to be locked by putting into a gear, and the wheels need to be locked either with the brakes or being on the ground while doing the test.

I don't know where I have put the print out. I think I might have binned it by accident. I need to get to the dealers again and get another printout.

There has been similar cases. Make sure any sound deadening you're planning to fit in the wheel arches is water proof. Otherwise it'll trap moisture and rot the wings from inside out. You'd be best putting it on the bulkhead underneath the dash and footwells.

Have you had the battery checked? As a failing battery can cause electrical issues. The steering could be a sensor, module or worse case scenario the rack itself.

Thank you

I just checked the part on my car:) seems like is the genuine part, got the W/AG on it.

Any update on this issue ?

And dare I say, the originals don’t look to be the best quality.

Thanks guys. I’ve listed my RS4 on this site, as well as on RS246 (long time member) and Audi-Sport. Will see what interest I get. I am not in a rush to sell it, and it needs to go to an enthusiast as it is absolutely mint. WBAC don’t have good pricing for high performance cars as there is too much risk with them. Motorway I have a bad experience - they give you an indication which you can reject but if you decide to go to ‘auction’ you commit to sell. My VW Up! Got one bid at the reserve and it went - which in hindsight I should have put the reserve higher, but they suggested a low reserve to drum up bidding. My local VW garage bought it and were amazed at the price they paid - I felt the fool… if nothing comes from the forums in the next week or so I’ll put it up on AutoTrader, PistonHeads and maybe eBay. Thanks again. Sam

nee probs

This could be an issue with the instrument cluster. Might be worth getting an auto electrician to take a look

Thanks stevey

Hi 10amp is about as high as you need to go, from memory I have nearly always used the fusebox under the cover on the left end of the dash, check the owners handbook for what fuse does what as you dont want to use an ABS/wipers fuse or anything that if it blows will leave you in poo creek, depending what the spec is of your model there may well be a spare fuse port in the box, thats what I did with my A6, the spare port was in the purple square, test for ignition live with meter.

Hi Does anyone know the part number for the Caliper logo plate or where to buy replacements?

Sorry for late reply. My car has factory fit sunroof. sidesteps and tow bar. There are no towing restrictions,

Hi I have a similar problem but not from the front. A juddering from underneath/rear the car when going from a standstill with full lock in and accelerating briskly. Mine only happens when warmed up. There is a TPi or TSB whatever it's called for Quattro Ultra.. So far they've done a software update and a clutch adaptation (twice) but it isn't fixed. It goes in next week for a clutch pack replacement on the rear transmission. My car is fortunately still under Manufacturer's warranty.

I had this then the key stopped turning a day or two after new barrel and the bit behind too didn't come up with steering sign the steering wheel didn't lock either so had to get lock fixed

Were the replies any use to you Mark?
