Very nice, and thank you. I've found a guy who says he can rebuild mine. Got to source all the parts but as you know it's not cheap. Pistons £1k+, cams £400-500, turbo £600, injectors £600 etc. Please keep us posted on how you get on collecting it. Where abouts are you based?

Hi Steve, the interior work was done by a chap who does all of Tom Hartleys cars, based in Derby, so he's very good. The garage that did my rebuild wouldn't normally undertake such a job due to time scales and how involved it would be. It's been a struggle, there's still a few discussions to be had, its not been plain sailing, but hopefully these will get sorted. I'm probably going to pick up the car this coming week so will know if she needs to go back in for anything soon. I'm thinking an agreed value of 20k would not be unreasonable in light of all the work, the transmission was sorted when I purchased the car back in 2020 under warranty.

How many miles got your RS6 Mark?, did you have any issues with lights coming up on dash board whiteout reason after replacing this alternator generator?

Think they are called Highway and thankyou.

When cleaning refitting egr does codes or computer do anything 2010 audi 2.0 tdi sportback

I had this then the key stopped turning a day or two after new barrel and the bit behind too didn't come up with steering sign the steering wheel didn't lock either so had to get lock fixed

I used to use Bristol but did not like their attitude so moved to Bath-same group though but nicer people.

Were the replies any use to you Mark?

Thanks for that Mark2. I hope I won’t need it but you never know with Audi.im actually living in Bristol but I know they are not to friendly when is coming to recalls and I prefer to pay for recovery to take my car to Bath.Thanks Mark2

You're most welcome, should give you many years of motoring enjoyment to come. Gives me inspiration to get my A6 sorted. Glad you got sorted with insurance. I see you're in Leicester like me 🙂 if you don't mind Me asking who did your engine rebuild? And interior work?

After market stereo will cause fault code that could cause other issues do a scan with vcds

Many thanks indeed David, that’s very kind of you show your appreciation. Its pleasing to hear the forum has been of help. Take care, Regards, Gareth.

Second hand Sony double din Bluetooth cd and radio they sound really good with the stock speakers mate

Very impressive engine work Parmy, and overall a very nice example. Who is the actual insurance company who insure it for Adrian Flux? Regards, Gareth.

Thank you. Your site wielded a solution to an interior light problem that saved me a lot of time and money. I am in Canada, but appreciate the wealth of info from all. Peace to all.

If it's a constant multiple clicking noise on turning and pulling away it will be a cv joint If you slowly accelerate from 50 to 60mph does your steering have slight wobble??

Thank you Steve! I've insured with Adrian Flux again for this year. Admiral were definitely cheaper by a large margin but they told me there book value for a vehicle like this was 8.2k I had to laugh that off, maybe for a base model that's been neglected but not this particular S4. It has 11 stamps in the book direct from Audi and only missed recently because its been off the road for 14 months during the extensive works, alot of shop hrs have gone into this including cleaning of every mechanical part.

If it's a single knock when turning slowly it will be a bush in the wishbone if it is a few knocks together on rougher roads or of there is a dip etc in rd surface it will be drop links (drop links are common faliure and usually when knackered you can't get em off they have to be cut off

These are the pics

Shaun Collins at Bath Audi is well aware of my RS6 generator issue and if you have problems ask for him and use my name.

Hi I've a 2010 audi a3 8p 2.0 tdi I'm struggling to find the location of egr also instructions how to take out and clean wen put back on does it affect codes or the computer etc too many thanks stu

That’s I was asking because I know some of Audi dealers like(Bristol probably) will try to find any reason not to replace that alternator, even there’s no connection between the alternator and the adblue.. Thanks for the reply, I’ll let you know what they say about it.

I would just play the innocent if and when challenged. My A8 Ad Blue tank lasted 18 months before filling and you only get a warning when low - i would plead ignorance if asked. Audi do void claims for 'unrelated' but warranty-excluding issues.
