Thanks, that free health check sounds great - do I just ring audi to organise a date or could I just rock up to my local dealership? To my understanding, It's chain driven so will have a look at its previous maintenance with Audi. The gearbox oil was changed at 140,000 so hopefully I've got another few months before this will need doing again. The 7 speed box is impeccably smooth and the torque is great. A few folk have suggested a re-map to bolster the torque and improve its fuel efficiency but £400 is a little expensive ATM given i have just bought it. Here's to more interaction with you guys with more experience than me and I look forward to reading more of your posts, happier in the knowledge that I now actually have something to reference too!!!

Very nice car :) and glad our advice helped :) iv always used a local garage :) but forbpeace of mind you can get a free Audi health check carried out :) they also send you a video of any areas on the car that need addressing :) cheers steve

Lol if you don't have coat then you can't go and look at other cool Audis! ;)

Nice car. Dont forget to change oil in your multitronic gearbox

Nice looking car m8, glad ur happy with ur choice. its personal choice when it comes to maintenance if you have a good garage near you that you trust then let them take care of the car. i use my local garage who are £40 an hour as appose to Audi who are about £100 an hour for the same work, you do the maths

Here is where you can buy tickets for track events, etc. Entrance for just the club stand with no track extras is £10 on the gate from what I can gather. Then it is a case of driving to our club pitch (wherever that is?) This is the information that you will need to log in to buy tickets to be on the club stand If everyone who has booked could post up here so we know numbers, thanks

Lol or wear a coat! :p

I have had exactly the same issue with my B7 - First of all, does the PRND panel on the dashboard light up - if it does its likely to be one of the solenoids IN the gearbox - that condition would also register a fault code - As stated in a previous post you need to get your car scanned for fault codes, it can save you many hours searching. My particular fault when I lost drive was a leaking hydraulic pipe for the transmission cooler - eventually there was not enough oil left to drive - THIS DID NOT GENERATE A FAULT CODE. I had a filter change and fluid change ( its doable for a home mechanic) but I would get a garage to do it - unfortunately you will need an Audi specialist or dare I even say a main dealer.......its quite a specific routine. There are many Audi auto gearbox repairers out there - do a google search, most of them seem to be in the Birmingham area! ...and just for reference, when you say diagnosed as a clutch problem - which one? - there are SEVEN clutches in your auto box good luck Mark

Lol! Added safety!

My calipers were tired looking,so i revamped them.
