You have not mentioned the mileage Steve, but at 22 years old your car must have done a circuit or two around the Earth. Most of us recommend independant VAG specialists rather than Audi main dealers. An internet search for "VAG specialist" should reveal several in your area. -
Hi, Anyone familiar with this metallic ticking noise? Sounds like loose chain, but it is 2.0 TDI on Audi A3 8V. Could it be sign of oil pump going bad? VID_20250710_140426107~3.mp4 VID_20250711_101802402~2.mp4

Pleasure Glyn. We look forward to hearing of the outcome.

Hello Paul, A simple point, but the replaced bag would now be 6 months out of its 1 year warranty, so…. So is it/isn’t the offender? We cannot know because we don’t have access to the vehicle, but it’s surprising how many replacement parts aren’t of sufficient quality to survive beyond the warranty period. Some of the Range Rover models use air suspension systems, so might be well worth your while to search out and tap into experience there. Another alternative would be to seek advice from Bagpipingandy (Ebay and probably website) - obviously north of the border. This is one of the most experienced pioneering chaps on all things air suspension. Please let us know how you get on Paul. Regards, Gareth.

Ok Gareth will do that thanks for your input.

Non-manual choke? If so, could be the cold start/ coolant temperature sender which is at fault. This would be the sender which assesses the coolant temperature and signals the degree of fuel enrichment required. Regards, Gareth.

I realise that. The question is what you are going to do about it. Pay out for another air bag, or claim against the garage that fitted the first?

Thanks Glyn, I always re- check the oil level on level ground, the morning after the oil is changed. It’s surprising how long it takes for all (in caps) the added oil to get down to the sump. Too late now, but……. If it were mine:- (1) Check the oil level (on level ground) before start up tomorrow morning. (2) If it is above the line, get an accurate mm rule and measure exactly how much above the line it actually is. (3) Check again after 300 miles or 3 weeks and see how much it has increased. If it has then proved to have risen, it could be due to oil dilution with diesel. Please let us know how you get on Glyn. Regards, Gareth.

It did work actually, twice. Perhaps there is a delay before it shows on the forum. I have to add that I will not download anything like this from untrusted sources, though I daresay most people are happy to do so.

Checked the level approx 30 minutes after filling, level now is about 1/4 inch above the mark. Don’t know what else to say about oil level.Not mechanically minded as you can tell.

Hello Alan, If it were mine:- (1) Call in to your nearest main dealer’s Parts Dept. and enquire about the price and availability there. ( are there any electrical connectors very near/within this T piece? by the way?). (2) If they won’t give you the part number - which is quite likely - have a look on LLL Parts website, and you may find it there. (3) Thoroughly search EBay and EBay International to see if you can find one on there. (4) Register your ‘want’ with on-line car breaker link sites. Partsfinder is one of many. Please let us know how you get on. Regards, Gareth.

Fair do’s as we say in these parts Glyn, you seem to be a man of few words, and the details are dribbling through like a dripping tap! Questions:- When ‘filled to the mark’ during the oil change, how soon after was that level confirmed to be at the mark? How much is it now above the mark?

As a quick update (which may or may not help others!) I ended up cancelling with Audi and reinsuring with them to kick this out another year within their expiry dates (which means I can hopefully also sort issues with my NCD out too!). Adrian Flux were well over £2k, eSure and Audi v similar around £1500. Interestingly the front end for UKI is Churchill and Directline, neither of which will underwrite performance cars!

I’ve got a 2014 Q7 and same happened to me last year in the Lake District, at 10pm on a Sunday night. Problem is, the pulley shouldn’t be rusting away like that, it a low quality part that Audi could easily have put right. My pulley was £350, from a local car parts place, VW were asking £550 at the time (parts - not fitted). If people can get them for £96 from ECP I’d recommend doing it as preventive maintenance as you can’t really drive without it. Shame really - I’d expect parts like that to fail on a Citroen C1 but not a Q7!

Could be a relay, also check continuity of the wiring if you can trace back.

Hi there my son is a mechanic and scanned it with his snap on scanner it said there was an open circuit so I checked all the wiring up two the loom and everything was fine I was thinking it could be a relay ?

Filled to the line on the dipstick.

An independent (Vasstech) agreed it was most likely the bag. I have already provided the information in my original post lookers says it’s anything but the airbag. Valve body level sensors etc
