Hi Guys I took the car back to the mechanic who replaced the drivers side lower rearward arm and now all the noise is gone on the drivers side. Basically, that's both lower arms and drop link replaced on Drivers side. Looks like I need to do the same on the passenger side as I can now hear a creaking noise lol It only occurs at low speed during braking, as opposed to the drivers side which was during accelerating at low speed. I assume I need to replace the front lower rearward control arm too on the passenger side but has anyone ever experienced creaking noise during braking where the car pitches forward at low speed? Which arm would receive the most force during low speed braking? Just worried if I ask the mechanic to replace the arm and it doesn't fix it. Could it be the upper arms? Cheers

Darn, at least it was worth a shot. Could be an issue with the megatronics unit.

You're most welcome 🙂 please keep us posted on how you get on with the retrofit.

Hi Steve, I had the gearbox oil changed last week, unfortunately that hasn’t helped
-
Yeah, I raised it with the sales manager who showed me a 150 point pre sale check etc, the only thing I can think of is I'm pretty sure it was almost ok from cold and worse when up to temp, maybe this is why it got missed.

Great guide. Well done on the job. If I may add; when I did mine I needed to remove the fan motor as there wasn’t the room to get the core out otherwise. Just in case anyone has the same experience as me.

Please keep us posted on how you get on
-
Glad you got sorted. Thanks for updating us.

When was the gearbox oil last changed? Old oil can sometimes cause issues with selecting gears.

Thank you, all in progress

A trivial issue but its starting to niggle. Q2, 1.5 petrol. I thought it might be battery related as car is over 5 years old now, the start/stop kept turning off too, so I changed the battery and it is still happening, the digital clock on the MMI radio screen goes off at the same time as a single 'beep' occurs. No warning lights and I can find no info on this phenomenom. I usually have my phone plugged in with android auto showing google maps, which has its own clock, so it isn't much of an issue for me. I know its trivial but I need to know why its happening. Any ideas appreciated Thanks.

Hello all, I’m new to the forum. I have a Audi a4 b8 3.0 tdi avant Recently I’ve encountered issues when selecting drive from reverse. The car cuts out, not all the time but particularly when I shift it quickly. The car also struggles to reverse up steep hills and cuts out. Yesterday I tried to pull away from a stationary position at slow speeds and it cut out. I’m hoping to find a gearbox specialist that can carry out the repair work. I’ve included the diagnostic report. Any recommendations and guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Aidan

MOT expires 10.02.2026 Been regularly serviced. Central locking pump recently replaced and drivers electric window fixed. Before that steering pump replaced a while back. New Bosch battery cured the electrical issues. Service record is available since I bought the car in 2012.

If you use a vin decoder it should help tell you what spec you have. Or a sticker in the boot wheel well with various codes.

What i understand is that the audi has a pre sense which uses the cameras to predict a collision, warn the driver and then if no action detected brake the car itself. I've seen this indicted when travelling forwards but I just can't tell if this is the case while reversing.
-
What do you mean by emergency braking? ABS?
-
I’ll just give up on this! Interested parties:-be prepared to be messed about.

If anyone hS a genuine interest in this car please contact me with any questions

Mileage 122809 Ming blue No fixed price in mind Current MOT Front bumper needs a strip and respray and small tear on the driver's seat. Interior cream leather A little oil thirsty, but aren't they all A very small loss of steering fluid from time to time, like 5mm!!

Thanks for the photos Alan, but you are still economical with some of the important detail:- Current MOT - expires tomorrow/ next year?! Recentish service history and when last serviced -? SORN/taxed? I’m yet to come across anyone selling a car who doesn’t know what they want for it/minimum acceptable figure. We don’t do ‘offers’ on here, to avoid members and yourself being messed about, so would your please state your asking price. Regards, Gareth.
