  1. Yesterday
  2. Hi having clutch and flywheel replaced how long labour time should it take thanks
  3. How long should i be looking at labour time for the fitting thanks
  4. Thanks for your reply I will carry out the above steps mentioned and come back with findings. My A7 has done only 75k which is alarming 🥵
  5. Hi @yay 6 please where did you order your switch from? I have the same problem with my A4 and this electricians have taken cash from me with no solution yet.
  6. We could do. New date is 14th July. All current tickets will be honoured for that date.
  7. Thanks Mark, If you search - say EBay - you will find sets of variable sizes, one of which should suit your needs, and who knows, some of the others maybe of use at some other time. Repeating - you don’t need to find the size, just buy a multi set. Kind regards, Gareth.
  8. Thanks David, Have I got it wrong, but did you post a similar thread recently? Kind regards, Gareth.
  9. Thanks Les -? Saying it as it is, the only clue you give us is that it’s a stop/start battery, and regrettably you have chosen/can’t be bothered to, either give your name, model of car or your location. As one of the other moderators often says ‘ we are a friendly and helpful group’, and indeed we are, but….. help yourself to gain the help you need! Rant over, except a please or thank you wouldn’t’ go amiss. Answer - almost certainly yes.
  10. Hi I think you will find the sensor you have marked three is actually number one as its at the beginning of the exhaust stream next to the adblue the others run downstream. Steve.
  11. Can I replace the start/stop battery myself or does the BMS need resetting at a garage?
  12. Tony, How are you getting on with the ICarsoft code reader? Do you know if it will reset the Service Due indicator? I carry out my own servicing but I can only reset the oil change indicator from the Infotainment system and not the Service Due
  13. Hello Jubel, I would say any such coolant consumption - irrespective of model or engine - is abnormal. Our humble 174K A3 barely needs anything between it now 6K/year use. There is either an external leak, or it is being combusted. Have you carried out:- Inspection for any visible external leakage? Run the car for about 10 miles, park, get an assistant to rev. the engine to a steady 2000 rpm and hold it there for 2mins. while you observe the colour of the exhaust gasses? Kind regards, Gareth.
  14. Hi to effectively put out the light you will need something like OBDEleven not exactly expensive but very efficient this will also let you change the inspection due. Steve.
  15. Hi the trustworthy solution is get in touch with ECU Testing and get it tested, no problem there is only a nominal charge, if there is a problem they will inform you with a repair price. Plus being as its your original unit its plug in and play. Steve.
  16. Hello, Does anyone know of a reasonably priced tool that allows me to reset the service indicator? Not just the oil service re-set that can be carried out on the Infotainment screen but the Service Due message because I have serviced the car but cannot reset the indicator. Thanks Bill
  17. Tried some of those alloygators on my prized S6 wheels. After scraping the kerb to avoid a boy racer hurtling towards me, both alloygators came away from the rim leaving my wheel rotation wobbling down the road. I was only doing 20 mph near a school. I also think they make quality 19 / 20 inch wheels look Noddy. I cut them off in the end, I want to look at my wheels with pride. Even if that does mean refurbishments.
  18. Hi its the thermostat on the water pump that controls the engine temp the other one before the the heater is the one that controls the cabin temp, if that one is playing about all your hot water flies through the bypass system. Steve.
  19. Hi the upper picture is the clip to get, they are a pain to fit but not a problem if you have the right tool about a tenner on fleabay, good idea cutting the pipe back as long as you don't go nuts with it there should be enough slack let to get it connected again, can't believe the price of that pipe, if you get any length problems get a section of copper pipe the same diameter as the inside of the rubber pipe and then you can make up the length by doing a cut and shut further up the pipe it just means three clips instead of one. Steve.
  20. Hello guys Just a quick question regarding the coolant on my car. I usually have to top up my coolant from minimum mark to max every 535 miles. Is this normal for consumption for this engine? I heard that it's slightly more than this but can anyone shed some light?
  21. In your postion I would ask first the company what sort of guarantee it offers.
  22. Musty. Sasidhar, like so many newcomers, has not visited the forum since posting his request for help four years ago. It's unlikely he will return now.
  23. Update - solved the issue. Upon reading other threads I checked the ABS wheels speed sensors on all 4 corners. The front passengers side sensor was damaged. A break in the sensor case was letting water into it. I’ve replaced the sensor and the faults have all gone away. It was a bit of a pig to change as it’d melted into the bearing housing. Quite a coincidence that the wheel bearing was changed by the garage a few weeks before all these faults started appearing.
  24. I was really looking forward to the show. We should organise our own somewhere.
  25. Hi, does anyone know where I can locate EGT sensor 1? I know where 2, 3 and 4 are. Thank you Andy
