Could you now come back to us with the size please Brian.

Welcome Robert, and thanks for joining. Has your particular car been built with fold-in mirrors - which don’t fold- or are you trying, and failing, to manually turn them in when you want to? Kind regards, Gareth.

Hello Syed, Um! not really surprised no one wants to attempt this safety critical job. Did you try the on-line factors I suggested? Kind regards, Gareth.

Yes, the low pressure pump in tank has a very fine mesh filter which was blocked just enough to put it into limp mode. Do not attempt to pull the pump apart like I did as it broke the plastic cup that the pump sits in and I had to buy a new one at a cost of £508!!!!! Main dealer part only. Drain the fuel tank and give it a good clean if it is the same issue I had

Just had the exact same experience a shame no one replied I’m lost as well 😝

Hi all, Thanks for your responses! I've opted for helicoiling as per your advice, however, have tried calling a few garages and all have them have refused to do it (no surprise there as per Gareth's advice). Would you know anyone good who would be happy to tackle the job? Time will be compensated of course.

I still haven't got around to getting my space saver however, I seem to remember reading somewhere that the spacer would only fit the back I think not the front as there may be some clearance issues with possibly the brake calliper or something like that. Has anyone else know of any issues using the space saver on any of the corners?

I moved this to A5 section as it does not belong in Banter.

Good morning all, I’ve been ongoing an issue with my 2016 Audi A5, I started off with the error code P208E. It has been to the garage to get squared away. They can back to me and said it was the adblue injector and cap, they fixed this issue but still appears with the adblue message. Can anyone help?

Did you manage to get this sorted, I had my ad blue injector and cap replaced but still comes up with fault, please let me know.

Hello all New to the club, bought the tickets and will be there with my S3, probably won't make Tesco though

Just purchased an Audi A1 TDi S and cannot for the life of me find out how to retract the side mirrors on it. Can anyone advise?

Hello ‘Rambo’, Would you please take a little of your time to complete your profile properly, so that members may be more inclined to spend a little of their time to help you out. Thanks.

I’m sorry if I have brought this topic up before but I find this forum really helpful. my issue is I have an Audi a5 sportback 2017, and I also have the Audi app. The app shows my ad blu level is sitting at 1500 miles. It doesn’t matter how much ad blu I put in my ad blu tank, this figure of 1500 miles doesn’t change. Can anyone please tell me if this is correct. I thought my maximum level was 9000 miles for my ad blu but I may be wrong. I thought if I put more ad blu in the tank, the dull level would go up on my app. thanks in advance. David

If the battery went flat over a few days it is dead and needs to be renewed. Spoilt batteries can not be resurrected no matter how long you leave them on charge and no matter what a simple voltage test may tell you. Sulphation, or its equivalent on a modern battery, has left it with an internal fault that can not be repaired.

Hi does anyone know whats up with my 2004 audi a4 1.8T ? Basically its been starting fine since i bought it 2 weeks back but the batteries been dead today as its been sat a few days so ive charged it up and its turning over but the engines not turning on everything sounds as it should when turning the car over but the that engines not starting any ideas ? Ive cleaned the battery terminals not that, i cant see it being flooded but checked that too nope dont know where to go from here chances are its going to be something simple If you could help that would be great

Hi no adjustment, they are a fixed length between the actuator and turbo not like the older type of actuator where you could shorten the rod to tweak up the boost pressure.

Take it these actuators aren’t adjustable they are just straight swap? Adapt turbo on vcds and should be good to go?

Much appreciated Steve. That's great. I'll let him know and we'll get it sorted!

Seems quieter but not had long enough to take it a good drive

well did it improve the performance.

Hi it looks like the PCV valve has become broken/disconnected and is spraying crankcase gas and oil vapour over the engine, the part wont be that expensive and I should imagine about an hours labour easy fix. Steve.

😂😂 just did the wynns turbo cleaner yesterday!

Hi based on what you have posted it may well be the actuator, BUT I have seen this many times with Variable Vane Turbos, what happens is the vanes become sticky and can't open and close quickly this in turn knackers the actuator as its constantly trying against increased resistance to close the vanes therefore killing the actuator, easy way of checking the vanes is to chuck a spray can of Wynns turbo cleaner down the inlet ducting after the air box, if after treatment it runs better it will definitely be the vanes sticking, depending on the milage you may be better getting a new turbo as if you fit the new actuator you will soon be back to square one. Steve.

Hi all, Just joined up and wondering if someone can help with an issue. My dad's A4 Avant has had the engine management light come on and there was a strong smell. Popping the bonnet I noticed what looked like smoke and I'm guessing a disconnection between a part of the engine. Please can someone let me know what they think the problem might be and any idea what the cost for repair may be. He's in his early 80's, I can only get round there once a week and worried he might get taken advantage of. Thanks in advance. 20240531_163457.mp4
