Decided to full send Injectors & replace the water pump while im at it. Gonna clean everything up.... its all been taken apart and I'll be putting it back together with new parts in the morning... https://imgur.com/a/zyAmBH2

Glad you got sorted 🙂

That's interesting I hadn't heard that. But must be some truth in it as per your experience. So glad you got sorted 🙂

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 The symptoms indicate the bag. But this is unlikely if it was replaced with a new good quality one. Id recommend a second diagnosis from an independent Audi specialist.

I don't think there is.

If you've done a factory reset on the MMI and that's not fixed it then it needs a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. The mmi may just need an update

It's probably that then.

Glad you enjoyed it, there's stunning scenery especially on the west coast. Have you got any other road trips planned? I've noticed I never updated this thread with more pics 🤦‍♂️

Looking at this list: Battery if expect needs replacing on a 10 year old car. Suspension arms are common wear items on Audi's Brakes are a wear and tear item For wheel alignment probably done after the suspension arm replacement as worn ones can knock out the wheel alignment on the front. Pcv valves are known to fail so that's good it's been replaced. Water pump is a serviceable item, but you need to find out if the cambelt was done at the same time.

You've done a good level of diagnosis but if recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could it be a sensor?

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 sounds like a nice couple of audis.

Many thanks for the many thanks Graham. Is there any reason for not being able to answer the pre-trial question?

Now they want the dealer to look at the car, the car that was at the dealer in April with issues. Two steps forward one step backwards.

YES I NO HOT AS F EEEK SHAVE MY HEAD BALD AS COOT NU

I'd like to find a set of these alloys. I am not aware of any Audi part number but I believe they were a factory option for the Type 81/85 Audi 80/90 saloon (Sport) and GT Coupe. They are from the Ronal R8 range, 15x7 inch (as opposed to the 14x6 inch standard), 4x108PCD wheel nuts, ET42 offset. They appear to be identified by a Ronal code KBA-40834. I have found them elsewhere in Europe and I may end up sourcing them from overseas but thought I'd ask here first. I am aware that the same casting is machined to suit the Mk2 golf but obviously these are 4x100PCD and have ET25 offset so won't fit the 80/90/Coupe. Hope I've given enough info. Check the attached pictures. To my mind these are one of the few wheel upgrades that look correct and of the same 1980s period appearance as the standard fitment. Any further information or part number information to help my search would also be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Looking for thoughts.. I have a 2018 A5 sportback 2.0Tfsi...I've just returned from a 6hr drive to and from Cornwall the car never missed a beat..just aircon issues hoping its not anything more than a re-gas..after 3hrs of driving the blowing slowed down and the sir became warmer, turned the blower up to full and the airflow was very low, then a musty smell, which I presume is the aircon needing to be re-gassed.. small trips during the week no problems with the airflow or temperature but yhen the return trip home and after 3-4hrs the airflow was low and temperature warmed up..could this be a re-gas?, motor?, compressor? Thanks in advance

Hi Folks, recently brought my A3 2013 SPORT TFSI....loving it....i want to update the Sat Nav as car has 2013 version...where is best to get an up to date SD card...many thanks in advance....

Thanks for your response and that makes sense I guess. I have had cars with twin rear fog lights in the past though. Just a bit odd that all the wiring appears present along with the bulb holder? Thanks again. Best regards, David

Have him Jump the electrical connector to see if there is a problem with the pads ir your wireing harness

Who are the actual insurers for your brokerage Dan? Regards, Gareth.

Welcome Jeffrey, Sounds good. If it were mine, I would now treat it to a full service so you have a basing point to move forward from. If you need any advice on parts (brands) and where to get them, then please let us know. Regards, Gareth.

Hi Alex, absolutely. I was able to approach this problem very well informed as a result of this forum. Thanks to all

These two models offered in the UK differ by engine torque & horsepower. If I want to “update” a 45 TDI to a 50 TDI, then is it mostly just a Stage 1 remap?

Hello Paul, Work on the principle that if you have checked all alternatives without solution, then you have to suspect the replaced component. In decades gone by, an unthinkable possibility. Regrettably now only too common a possibility. Kind regards, Gareth.
