All Activity

I am 18 months into SQ5 ownership and was also exasperated by the poor ride, having owned 3 A6 Avants which were all brilliant (other than the notorious BSG issue on the last one - well documented elsewhere in this forum). Having played extensively with tyre pressures and seeing as I don't drive at the limit on German Autobahns, (these days anyhow!), I have found that running pressures at 35 front and 32 rear with Individual ride setting on Comfort does significantly improve ride quality without compromising handling. It also reduces road noise on the (still original) Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyres, which are wearing very slowly. I do intend to switch them to a lower noise brand when they have worn a bit more.

if you can get a good set [or new ones] for that money your doing very well

Hi guys so I have Audi a6 4g c7 2014 2.0 ultra diesel. Long story short my romanian mehanic thought it would be smart to replace this part in pyro fuse with handsaw blade and my battery have cought fire and burned some cables.Now i have replaced all mains battery cables but i'm having hard time finding where does these small cabels goes when I connect my battery I have power on all thing except my control panel and when i try to start my car it just won't do anything so If anyone would help me I would be thankfull for a picture of battery cabes and photo of these tiny cabes to see where do they go P.S Sorry for my bad English I am from Bosnia

I got myself the Audi i was looking to buy for a while now (a6 c6) and that's the problem i faced.. -£150 for set of taillights :(

This car will be for myself

A good result.

Hello All. Can anyone confirm whether Audi have extended the drivetrain warranty in the UK as a result of the issue with coolant leaking within the motor housing, and if so, to what level? Im aware that in the US this is now valid for up to 120K miles. Many thanks.

Quick update , after jumping through a few hoops etc , its come back as being sorted under my Audi used car warranty. Total for quote £395. Replacement water reservoir tank and motor. As to why it needed a diagnostic check for a leaking tank ? obviously didn't have to pay for the check if its covered on Warranty. Booked in this Thursday , happy motoring.

Hello everyone, im searching for an Audi S3 8L (1999-2003) with a mileage below 5.000km for my collection in very good condition. The color doesn't matter, If anyone knows a car, please let me know! Regards Timo

this is not displaying just saying server not found ? i am looking for the location of this module too if anyone can assist please

Very true, but if the lost oil is coming out of the exhaust, either burnt or intact, it could lead to blockages and/or emissions.

Oil is cheaper than engines, or changing cars Ian! Good luck with everything. Regards, Gareth.

Im on 125k miles. Ive put 20k on it in 2.5 years. More or less resigned myself to the fact its the rings but obviously im trying the cheap fix first. Im due an oil change so ill see if theres any leaks from the sump... its been bone dry the last couple ive done.

Cheers Steve, Yeah I thought it was weird, I've got the extended warranty with Audi so if it is that then hopefully it'll be covered. It may well have just been a coincidence that it happened after the brake work Ryan

Hi I doubt the brake change caused this it could well be the update or the camera mounted in the screen. Steve.

Hi might well be with doing if the pressure slows down it may well be the valve, how many miles has the car done as around that year they are famous for burning oil where they used skinny oil control rings, problem is they let oil up but also down which pressurises the sump, fingers crossed its the aftermarket valve. Steve.

Im not sure steve, it was just a direct replacement. Im thinking of putting the original valve back in until Audi can get me an OEM replacement.

Hi all, I had had my front pads and discs and rear pads replaced last week. (Not by Audi as they wanted over 1k) There's been an intermittent faults of the pre sense not working then into main beam assist fault, followed by lane assist disabled and and adaptive light fault. Daft question but could this be linked? I also took it in for a software update (to Audi) for dodgy door locks Any help is appreciated Cheers Ryan

Hi are you sure the new valve has a diaphragm in it the worrying thing is the amount of pressure coming out of the valve. Steve.

Head gaskets would be a whole new world of wallet pain but your description was very precise giving no indication of system pressurising, looking forward to a glowing success. Steve.

Sort of hoping it’s not the sensor tbh

Thanks for everyone's advice, was very helpful. I did some youtubing and realised it's way above my talent level. But almost certain it is the cooler gasket. Booked it in with my Audi man but can't see it for 3 weeks so off the road for now. I'll update when it's fixed 👍

2012, 1.4 tfsi Im topping up the oil more than i used too...seemingly a common issue with these engines . To start with, its worth replacing the PCV valve apparently. In the absence of Audi UK not having stock i opted for an unbranded aftermarket replacement. On reaching home after my commute this evening, i noticed a flute like noise coming from the valve/hose?! Ive attached a short video clip ... any suggestions? Thanks in advance
