Happy New Year all.
Can anyone advise whether it is normal for Audi to do a DSG oil and filter change as part of a gearbox oil change

on an OCL gearbox please?

Hi NO they will tell you its filled for life, they dont do anything unless you ask and then when they agree to do it be prepared to sell an organ, much better to find an independent garage to do the job it will be better and a whole lot cheaper, they dont like doing anything that wont require a lot of money and getting dirty, I have known them to levy a charge for disposing of the old filters and oil.

Thanks. That seems a reasonable plan and safest approach.

Audi S6 track car build

matty_s6 · May 27May 27

Ok, after completing the gearbox swap and driving the car for a few months, things have started to fail. The speedo doesn't work, even after putting in a speedo pickup in the gearbox, sensor and repairing the wiring. The electric windows all stopped working. The central locking won't work. The airbag and abs light work as they please. My next step is to strip it and turn it into a track car. I know they are not known for being great on a track, but I will try anyway. The seats are very heavy, so

DAB upgrade for 2013 A6 allroad

CHM · May 14May 14

Dear all. I have recently purchased a japanese Import 3.0 A6 Avant allroad. The MMI shows FM, AM and LW but no DAB. Is/was there an upgrade available from Audi or aftermarket when DAB became more commonplace.(Vauxhall offered DAB upgrade for my 2014 Zafira in 2015).

Hi, first time poster here, I’m trying to add a picture but I’m not sure now to. Before I start, I absolutely love this car, it’s my second and I was down at Audi every other week sitting in once before I was able to afford one. It is due to go back to Audi next month and I have a £13 000 payment to make if I want keep it. For a car of this quality and spec in this current market it is a bargain. It has only done 50 000 miles since new and I’m the second owner (2019 reg). It has all the upgrades

Bedders · May 27May 27

HI All, Can you help? My faithful and reliable twenty year old A4 2.0 TDI has developed a few issues. Lack of power in cruise mode going up hills and major juddering when I am lead footed (not often, but when i need to get out of trouble) which causes the engine to vibrate and judder. The car has full Audi servicing for the first 16 years of its life and more recently local garages in the last fours years and has 126,000 miles on the clock. ( i bought it for long distance driving but was made r

MichaelS · April 30Apr 30

My 2.5 Tdi is suffering loss of power which I suspect is a faulty fuel transfer pump. An Audi Specialist gave ne a part number 8D0 906 087 AN which seems to be okay. Unfortunately the pumps on Ebay vary in outlet pressure from 0.5 -3.4 bar. Can anyone advise me on the correct pressure please?

What to do, poss head gasket?

cockneyrick · Wednesday at 09:45 AM2 days

So my 2013 1.4tfsi has been into 2 garages for coolant loss & random "Stop engine low pressure" light. First garage said head gasket & quoted £3,055 for the work, but they added w/pump & belt plus timing chain on a 60k engine. Second garage concurred but refused the job saying Tfsi engines were rubbish & couldn't guarantee it was head gasket alone! And fitting another engine would cost 3-5k! Third was online community who all say both are a joke, & a few mentioned the intake

Hey I have a Audi A4 B8 and I want to change my steering wheel. I bought a new one online and it was suposed to work . Unfortunately It seems that the connectors are not the same and hence dont fit . From my knowledge and research the airbag code comes from a A1 . Some people told me that I just need to change the airbag not the whole wheel . Others told me i have to change both . Others told me that I might be able to rewire the harness . Could you give me some insight on this matter ? See imag

Flute whistle from after replacing PCV valve

enc · Monday at 04:49 PM4 days

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

One-touch window failure

Stavros · May 29May 29

Hi there - i checked through all the pages related to A5 but didn't see anything on this topic on issues with the one-touch open/close function. I have an Audi A5 Cab B9/F5 40 TFSI S line (pre-facelift) and on the cabriolets, you have 4 switches, one for each window, plus a 5th master which does all the windows at the same time. Each switch has the one-touch operation. The rear window switches and the 5th master switch work up/down with one touch no problems. Problem I have: The front window
