Hi I thought you might have one you made earlier hidden somewhere, I totally endorse your sentiments, but I can honestly say that the myth of premium brand will not bear close scrutiny, yes the paint and leather seats first class but as for the rest of it, the same as any other manufacturers they go wrong and are very complex to diagnose and fix and unless Audi get their customer service act together they will lose many customers, allied to their starship parts prices it is not good, just as an exercise I priced a new engine for mine on ETKA £12000 +vat for a bare engine, thats over half the price of a good late A6 second hand as for the legendary full service history its not worth the paper its printed on, look at the guys that have posted about 2-3 year old cars serviced by Audi and found the air filters have never been changed since new and when asked they reply thats extra or thats not part of that service, thats when you discover that oil and filter change alone is £150 +vat, I buy quantum spec oil on eBay along with a Bosch filter for sub £40, an hour of my time job done, I must be doing something right as the car is now at over 180k and as I said before Audi genuine is someone else's quality part in a badge engineered box at twice the price. Steve.

I'll drive the car tomorrow for a bit so let's see if removing the shelf can help me pinpoint the root cause of the sound.

Yes removed the broken hard plastic inside the T Piece and then snipped the jagged broken end and refitted. As it is a hard plastic pipe. Cheers

Hi. I’ve got a 2022 (8Y) A3 Sportback which came without a spare wheel. I’ve just received a space saver I ordered from EBay which I think is from a 8V model but I’m pretty confident it’s the correct one. I haven’t sourced a jack yet; there’s a generic one in Halfords but I’m looking for a scissor jack from an A3 on eBay. There’s a few to choose from but I’m waiting for a bargain. I’ll update back here once I’ve done a test fit of the spare with the size and details if it works!

Hi if you contact a silicone hose manufacturer they can make you another hose, I had this back last summer with the tiny cooling hoses that run between the manifold and throttle body, Audi actually had these but one hose was£38 the other four were similar prices so found a place locally wheeled them up there and they produced the whole set with the correct bends and new clips for £60, all armoured, very happy. Steve

Thanks Gareth, that would be a good idea! Sorry I should have circled it

Sorry got the car 2 week ago today and just looking for some advice on the matter really so anyway av booked it into Audi and been told from the dealer if it comes back as clocked they will reverse the sale Al updated once it’s been into Audi

I can say that after going every bump in sight with no parcel shelf, it is indeed the culprit. Now, my challenge is to find exactly how to fix this as I am not sure if it's the shelf itself or the fit that's causing this issue.

HI all, thanks for letting me join. Read through the conditions all good and understood.

lol Ive got one in the basket already for 47 quid, Audi oem part. And they are easy to fit.. but after spending thousands over the years at Audi dealerships, I want them to step up and take responsibility for a potentially lethal floor in my car… they should call me tomorrow with an update, I’ll keep you guys posted.

Hi Southend Audi are robbing gits, I have used them when desperate as they are near to me, get the part number off the sticker and go on eBay they have loads ranging from s/h £25 to new £95, its only about three bolts and a plug about an hour if you take your time and drink lots of tea between bolts. Steve.

Super and simple.

Have a 17 plate C7 S6. Its been back to my local Audi dealership 6 times to fix a leaking panoramic sunroof. Sunroof cassette has been taken out and sunroof seals have been replaced twice and it's still leaking - they haven't a !Removed! clue. I've paid £1,800 so far and I've had enough of their incompetence. Can anyone recommend an automotive water leak specialist in Lancashire (North West) that can solve this issue. Thanks for any recommendations .....
