Hmmm, thanks for confirming. If anyone knows how it got fixed last time, it would be good to know

yep same ffs x

Has this just happened again? One minute all DAB stations working fine, the next, no DAB National again. This happened around 2pm today

Yes, sounds like cabling/loose connection - good luck!

Hi. Thanks for the reply. It makes perfect sense as mine my start to work when I open and close the boot or either of the back doors. I will look into changing the cable

Hiya, just checked my paperwork (should have read it more closely!), but they also noticed a kink in a cable going to the camera. The notes say that when they moved the cable, the camera would come on intermittently. In the end, they replaced the cable to the camera and associated wiring. The camera has worked 100% of the time since. Hope that helps!

Hi - I have recent acquired a 2008 A6 (C6)avant sline and I am experiencing rattle from the front brakes driving over rough road surfaces. I note the car has recently had new discs and pads and only 10% worn. I have renewed the caliper springs on both sides and this has largely improved the problem but annoyingly there still some rattle from both sides. Being a sline with harder suspension is this a common problem on these cars on our bad roads. Further my local garage has inspected the suspension and can only find that anti-roll bushes may required to be replaced in the distance future, and could only be an advisory on the MOT, but offer no more advice. Anybody had the same problem and solved it?

Exactly, I was shocked when I found out. Definitely worth looking for speaker adapter kits first.

You're welcome and yes.

For "lower pulley" do you mean the crankshaft pulley? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I shouldn't really be surprised by this, as I actually work for a car manufacturing company and they do everything they can to cut costs. To them it's all about the bottom line, they all say the customer comes first but in reality it's profit first. Customer satisfaction is a secondary thought. Wonder why there is no brand loyalty anymore. I was actually thinking of the aftermarket route when I asked the question, just can't find any info on the speakers like I said.

Hi I'm thinking of buying my first Audi what do you think of the Audi A7 55tfsi c8 2018? It's has full Audi history on 34000 miles. Just wondering it there are any major issues with this car. Thanks for any advice in advance

Could it be an issue with the injector seals or flow plugs?

Definitely don't rule out aftermarket upgraded items from pioneer, JVC etc. Have a look at this regarding B&o speakers: https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/25250-b-o-is-it-genuine-or-just-a-rip-off/

Nice one, sounds like the A6 is in good hands. Whilst the front is off for the cambelt and water pump it might be worth replacing the lower pulley as mine nearly fell off! And the thermostat whilst he has easy access.

I tried Bosch Aero Twins as they were the recommended result at another retailer for my reg and they didn't fit either.

Yep their results were the same as Halfords

I have to make you aware of the legalities of it as a staff member. I fully understand why you went down the remap route. This is the thing, regardless of how old audits become the servicing is always expensive.

Welcome Tim, and thanks for joining. Washer jets at arms can be a bit of an aftermarket problem area. I tend to deal with Parts in Motion at Exeter - worth giving them a ring and talking it through - they are generally very helpful. I’ve had a similar issue with a non-Audi, but found a pair of Bosch Aero -twin? could be fitted. O.E could have been Valeo, so worth an investigation on that front too-? Let us know how you get on Tim. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hi Tim, Have you tried these guys? https://www.wiperblades.co.uk/

Hi Everyone I recently traded in my 2016 A7 for a 2021 Audi S7. So far so good but noticed the wiper blades need changing. The jets come out the arm on the S7 rather than out the front on my old A7. So I went onto Halfords.com put in my number plate. The new blades arrived and they aren't compatible, none of the adaptors fit and the body of the blade is too wide/long to fit. Took them to the store, showed their technician the existing ones and their technician says they don't sell those type of blades at all so their website is wrong! Same issue with another retailer. Asked my local VWAudi specialist garage who said they can source a pair from TPS for £95! Can anyone point me in the right direction please or is this my best (expensive) option?

Hello there, I'm back again! Here's my first week of usage of my new C5 2.5 Tdi. Actually the car is still with me and not in the mechanic's shop due to some delays on other cars in his shop... but it will be soon there! In fact I made a "To Do List" for the mechanic just to track down all the flaws and problems the car actually has and has to be repaired or enhanced, such as: Timing belt + water pump + auxiliary belts Control arm kit Automatic transmission oil + filter kit (ZF 5HP19) Check and clean all radiators (including the transmission cooler. The transmission shifts and downshifts very poorly once operating temperature is reached. Possible issue with the transmission thermostat) EGR valve Swirl valves Excessive smoke under medium to heavy acceleration (EGR?) Check turbo and intercooler pressure and vacuum hoses Warm air from vents when climate control is off (possible issue with engine thermostat or cabin heater core) Injector sealing rings (cold start difficulty with accompanying bluish-white smoke) Install Bluetooth system in car radio (ask electrician friend) Brake pedal very hard, and brakes "stick" briefly after pedal is released. Possible brake fluid issue Power steering pump sometimes noisy. Check fluid level and replace if necessary Check rear suspension height Check and replace dual-filament rear brake light bulbs if needed Replace windshield washer pump Apart from that, she sits quite happily on the road again!

a part 2 to come as got to change the usb and heat shrink came today youtube video

Yeah know it's illegal but it was either that,or, a god knows how much bill replacing parts that actually where working as the garage I took it to for diagnostics could only narrow it down to either the adblue pump (£800+) or an injector (£600+) and they couldn't even say for deffo it was either one. To be fair I did speak to somebody at Audi and he said he'd never know a pump to fail and was more loto be one of the lines. But needed the car for work, so....went with the map. Car feels great though. Picks up better, smoother the all the gears. Drives like it never has since we had it. It's 10yrs old this year and feels like new. Do like Audi engines just !Removed! expensive to keep on the road.

Hello again lads After a bit of advise again if possible. Rear door mid speakers have blown BOTH sides if you can believe that (blame the missus, she does crank the sound up). Anyway can't find any info on line about them. I know the part number but not to interested in paying Audi prises. So does anybody know anything about the power output and the frequencies and the ohms. Not planning on replacing everything so I would like to just get something that will slot in with the system all ready in the car. Part number for the original is 8K0 035 411 made by some company called ASK Industries in Poland. I always thought we had th B & O system but apparently not they have a "A" suffix Thanks Simon
