  1. Today
  2. Hi having clutch and flywheel replaced how long labour time should it take thanks
  3. How long should i be looking at labour time for the fitting thanks
  4. Thanks for your reply I will carry out the above steps mentioned and come back with findings. My A7 has done only 75k which is alarming 🥵
  5. Hi @yay 6 please where did you order your switch from? I have the same problem with my A4 and this electricians have taken cash from me with no solution yet.
  6. We could do. New date is 14th July. All current tickets will be honoured for that date.
  7. Thanks Mark, If you search - say EBay - you will find sets of variable sizes, one of which should suit your needs, and who knows, some of the others maybe of use at some other time. Repeating - you don’t need to find the size, just buy a multi set. Kind regards, Gareth.
  8. Thanks David, Have I got it wrong, but did you post a similar thread recently? Kind regards, Gareth.
  9. Thanks Les -? Saying it as it is, the only clue you give us is that it’s a stop/start battery, and regrettably you have chosen/can’t be bothered to, either give your name, model of car or your location. As one of the other moderators often says ‘ we are a friendly and helpful group’, and indeed we are, but….. help yourself to gain the help you need! Rant over, except a please or thank you wouldn’t’ go amiss. Answer - almost certainly yes.
  10. Hi I think you will find the sensor you have marked three is actually number one as its at the beginning of the exhaust stream next to the adblue the others run downstream. Steve.
  11. Tony, How are you getting on with the ICarsoft code reader? Do you know if it will reset the Service Due indicator? I carry out my own servicing but I can only reset the oil change indicator from the Infotainment system and not the Service Due
  12. Hi to effectively put out the light you will need something like OBDEleven not exactly expensive but very efficient this will also let you change the inspection due. Steve.
  13. Hi the trustworthy solution is get in touch with ECU Testing and get it tested, no problem there is only a nominal charge, if there is a problem they will inform you with a repair price. Plus being as its your original unit its plug in and play. Steve.
  14. Hi its the thermostat on the water pump that controls the engine temp the other one before the the heater is the one that controls the cabin temp, if that one is playing about all your hot water flies through the bypass system. Steve.
  15. Hi the upper picture is the clip to get, they are a pain to fit but not a problem if you have the right tool about a tenner on fleabay, good idea cutting the pipe back as long as you don't go nuts with it there should be enough slack let to get it connected again, can't believe the price of that pipe, if you get any length problems get a section of copper pipe the same diameter as the inside of the rubber pipe and then you can make up the length by doing a cut and shut further up the pipe it just means three clips instead of one. Steve.
  16. Musty. Sasidhar, like so many newcomers, has not visited the forum since posting his request for help four years ago. It's unlikely he will return now.
  17. Update - solved the issue. Upon reading other threads I checked the ABS wheels speed sensors on all 4 corners. The front passengers side sensor was damaged. A break in the sensor case was letting water into it. I’ve replaced the sensor and the faults have all gone away. It was a bit of a pig to change as it’d melted into the bearing housing. Quite a coincidence that the wheel bearing was changed by the garage a few weeks before all these faults started appearing.
  18. Hi Gareth, thanks for your reply I was just hoping to save a 40mile round trip journey (diagnostic and order up a part) if someone out there had the same problem and maybe it is something simple that I have missed on the MMI. My previous 2017 A6 did not have the same technology. However, my wife did read on an audi forum (cannot find it now) that a lady had the same problem but could not replicate it at the dealership but fortunately the cocky technician managed to lock both of them in the car when testing opening the door from the inside! I have read of other vehicle makes (older) having the same issue as myself. The problem with mine is its intermittent and annoying if you are in a hurry to leave the car. The front passenger door seems ok but have not yet tested the rear doors. In my previous car as a matter of routine I would hit the unlock switch for all doors if I had passengers. Kind regards Mike
  19. Just another update on the ongoing S-Tronic issues........ Matt, who is a true gentleman member on here and lives not far from me did a full VCDS analysis on the gearbox and read the fault codes, cleared them, read them again multiple times, and then attempted a full Adaption procedure via the VCDS as per manufacturer specifications. There were not really that many fault codes, but the ones specific to the Gearbox were: VCDS 7980: PO726 RPM Signal from ECU - Implausible Signal VCDS 8962: PI707 Clutch 2 Pressure too high VCDS 13791: P2873 Clutch 2 Pressure Engagement too high. That was it really, we cleared the codes, ran the scan again and they didn't return, so then we went onto the full Adaption procedure in VCDS Basic Settings menu, all was well until we got to adaption: IDE02294-Main Pressure valve calibration, whereby it kept giving the message: "Aborted-Safety Reasons" ? We tried this at varying specified gearbox oil Temperature's but to no avail, it just kept aborting half way through the calibration, however when re-reading for any gearbox fault codes multiple times afterwards none appeared ? although we still hadn't / were unable to complete the adaption procedure. I am now going to do a complete oil and filter drain and change service using a Full MEYLE service kit, after this Matt is going to read the codes again with VCDS and try another adaption ! To be continued ........................😮
  20. Hello Anthea, Welcome and thanks for joining. Failing rear electrics - the car is old enough to potentially suffer from fractured wires within the flexible harness section twixt body and tailgate/boot. Not claiming this is your problem, but always worth a first line eliminator, before moving on to more complex causes. Perhaps you could let us know how you get on. Kind regards, Gareth.
  21. Just thinking about the add blue. I don't think it was introduced in the A6 until 2015
  22. Yesterday
  23. I have purchased an Audi A3 with the standard seats my first Audi and automatic have had issues previously with seating as I’m 5ft 3 and have fault short legs. I’m really struggling with setting my seats and having siatica and bursitis I’m finding that where my leg bends ivef the seat it is pressing on my calf when driving so causing additional pain anyone else had this or can suggest anything please as I do like the car but may have to sell it if not I’ve purchased this car outright so going to lose alot of money but Carnt continue on pain
  24. Hi I would say its the O2 sensor, easy fix and relatively cheap to buy. Steve.
  25. Hi on the original post you quoted 50m from the the sea is that 50 miles or metres, I did not at any point say you don't trust Brembo just trying to fathom out why I have never had the same problem other than sporadicly as I live seventeen miles from the sea and if I get what you have the rust is gone within 900yds with no detriment to the longevity of the discs, if you factor in road salt over the winter months and all the various acidic compounds in the water when it rains its a no brainer the discs will along with everything else under the floor will corrode the time table for this is heavily dependent on the quality of steel used in making the bolts and even the plastic trim clips holding the under tray and wheel arch liners on they eventually harden and fail, I only use high carbon discs with no small success, with both ceramic and carbon fibre disc the downside is the extra time they take heat to the level where braking efficiency is optimum, this is caused by the fact that both mediums are 50% better at losing heat than carbon steel and should realistically used on cars that are driven aggressively, so in essence you only have one of two choices. Steve.
  26. Help!! From inside the car, the driver’s door often requires to be pulled twice to open the door. I cannot find any reference in the handbook as to why this happens. On one occasion the door stayed locked until I used the unlock on the key fob.
