Hey @jonnnnny how did you get it fixed in the end? A delete or new parts? My A4 B9 is currently sitting at 70m no restart and been quoted £395 to delete -still in two minds whether to have it properly looked at and potentially end up with a bill of £2k+ for new parts.

On a good run including a good chunk of motorway and country lane driving, before back into the city my 40 TFSI can get 45mpg. That same route with more traffic in places and a heavier foot in others still is almost 40 mpg. In traffic at crawling speed which we suffer often, it can be below 20 on a short drive. What are you getting?

Don't really want to change the hub, ideally I want bolt on kits for now.... Seen someone say some Porsche brakes bolt straight on Is this true??

Thanks mate

Sorry. It is a diesel. Would a boost pipe be linked to it only happening once the car has warmed up?.

Hi , I have a 2003 130pd Quattro in red and my neighbour has a 2003 130pd Quattro In purple but they are the only two I’ve seen in my area .

2008 Audi S5 4.2 Litre V8 Quattro 350BHP Manual 2 Door Coupe. I am selling on behalf of my partner who is not on here, his beloved S5 Naturally Aspirated 4.2 litre V8, metallic grey 2 door coupe with cream leather electric heated recaro seats and dual climate control. This is an awesome sounding and very powerful car! MOT's until 20th Feb 2025 Owed since August 2022 and he has loved every single time he has driven it and got to listen to that engine!! Video of engine starting from cold start should have loaded ok, if not please ask and i can send. This is a very reluctant sale, he loves V8's and this was his dream car but due to back issues and getting in and out of the car he now needs a higher up car. So the car isn't being sold because he wants to sell it but because he needs to. It is a very good, reliable, tidy, straight and unmodified car. The engine and gear box are all good. The mileage is 124274 but will go up slightly as the car is still used at weekends. There are a few niggly things. Some ages related marks and some chips on the nearside front of the bumper. There is also a larger scratch on the lower nearside of the bumper by the spot light ( see photos ) There is also a bit of a clicking noise coming from the passenger side vent when you put the heating on. He thinks it's just a flap inside that clicks past where it should and is sticking a bit. It does it momentarily when the temperature is adjusted in the cabin and then stops - not a major problem. Comes with only one key. Bit of wear to the bolster of the drivers seat but no holes. He has kept all receipts for any work that he has had done. There is no full service history with the car - however he bought it from our mechanic who rebuilt our V8 engine on a previous A6 that we used to have, we have not found this to be a problem as we trust his work and we know he looked after the car before he bought it from him. He had to get both door catch mechanisms changed as they were playing up, they work perfectly now. New battery fitted last year. Oil and filter change with MOT in Feb. The Audi is sold as seen, no part exchanges, no stupid offers and no time wasters. As stated at the beginning this is a very reluctant sale due to health reasons only and we will miss the car. It is a chance to own what is becoming an appreciating classic, a more rare car and rarer engine as the V8's are slowing disappearing. It has been very reliable, and it a very powerful car - not for the faint hearted! Price is £5,600. We are based in Gloucestershire. Any questions please let me know and i will check with my partner before getting back to you. Please contact me by PM if interested. Thank you Carla OKTH1424.MP4

I don't blame you refusing to go into London. If it's not the ULEZ it's the 20mph limits or the no right turns at certain hours. It's nigh on impossible to drive into and out of central London without earning a fine of some sort.

If you have not already fixed it I would say a blocked egr valve? I have had a similar problem on my A4 black edition although mine is a 2007 B7 many thanks Rich

If you get it scanned for faults that will give you the answer, no good guessing the car will tell you what you need to know.

Not understanding Richard.

Thanks. I think I will stick to E5 and hope the government see sense and delay its demise

Yeah I’ll let you know how my car gets resolved in the coming days and if it’s not covered I’ll 100% have to raise the issue, if there’s 3 of us here on this thread with the exact same issue it’s a trend not a coincidence any longer

Hi no the only time it will struggle to start is in cold weather but generally speaking they will start anyway when the plugs are knackered because the fuel rail pressure is so high. Steve.

Hi was this what happened with the old unit, only reason I thought of the direction is that if its pumping against the natural flow that would lock it up but when you test it if there is no natural flow the unit will appear to operate as normal.

Bless ya, was going to say, as you'd have worked very fast!

Thanks. Yes, I have been looking at similar things since I posted. I was also concerned about disconnecting the radio without a code but am now familiar with the process.

Hi, I have a 2010 Audi A3 2.0 turbo S Line I was working on the exhaust flange with a big ratchet and a cheater bar and I accidentally grounded the motor to the top of the battery it sparked I got in the car. My four were going off. I had to reset the computer to get them to shut off, and now I have electric to the entire car but when I try to turn it over, it says ESP fault it won’t crank and OBD two says lost communication with TCM … I changed the valve body on the dsg still same codes… I’m getting power to dsg but no info on can bus pins.

Welcome Graham, and thanks for joining. Have you looked at Pirelli Scorpion Verde m&s tyres? A family member has had a non-Audi 4x4 running on these to good effect - actually on the second replacement set. Kind regards, Gareth.

I know I'm resurrecting this but is this possible? I recently imported a 8p s3 from Japan for my wife only had to change kilometres to miles and fit a new head unit was very easy, but I'm now looking at importing a 8v rs3 for myself and that brings a few more issues as everything will be in Japanese will someone be able to recode the car or will it require new hardware? Any information would be much appreciated

Any help would b mush appreciated Thanks
