Done.

So, gearbox oil and filter changed, shifts seem smother. Also do a launch and all ok. I will leave it as is for next couple of weeks and if all ok get it back to stage one with the r600 air intake back in. If no more issues then that will be the topic resolved and if not il update again. Thanks for all the info/advise

Unused: Professionally Refurbished 10 spoke Audi 18” alloy wheel with new Bridgestone Turanza tyre Colour: Titanium Grey with Diamond Cut Size: 7.5J x 18, ET 51, PCD 5 x 112.0 Audi Part Number: 8V0601025AM Purchased from Full Moon Wheels Ltd, Preston – Lots of 5 star reviews and they have an excellent reputation. Genuine Audi wheel. Professionally refurbished, powder coated in high quality original Audi matt grey, diamond cut and powder lacquered. No cracks and no buckle. Wheel was checked on balancing machine. Fitted with brand new Bridgestone Turanza T005 225 x 40R18 92Y AO tyre. Includes brand new Audi centre cap and wheel cover. The wheel and tyre have never been fitted to a car as I changed my car a couple of months after buying this as a spare for my previous 2020 Audi A3, and is no longer needed. For sale for £250 for wheel, tyre, centre cap and cover – I do not want to split. I would prefer collection from Whitchurch, Cardiff but willing to travel up to 50 miles to meet up after payment of £50 non-refundable deposit.

Instrument cluster failure is well known on the 8p. If you've bought it from a dealer then get it back to them asap.

So, update on the gearbox issues. It’s been very intermittent. Done it on Thursday and has been fine since. At mechanics here. Said it could be the gearbox oil needs changed as it’s approaching 70k miles. I told him I changed the oil at 65k but just got it at the motor factors. He said that may not have been the right oil and always goto Audi. Got a long wait as the won’t give me a courtesy car 😢

Tons of them on Fleabay & Amazon, all pretty cheap.

@Magnet No Gareth. £695.00 for the two years cover - paid upfront OR a 24 monthly payments. No interest. You've added the upfront payment to the 24x monthly ones and so paying twice for everything! 🙂 Give me credit Gareth! My fairly 'local' garage that i know, deal mainly with 4x4s. They'd be wanting in excess of £695 to match the equivalent of what the Audi garage will do and give. The £695 also includes 2 MOTs I’m happy to put my trust in a garage with qualified Audi engineers.

Sounds like it's that then.

Hi Magnet. Yes - that's right After the all in one policy I had for two years, following the original two year warranty ran out, I've now taken out a 2 year service plan . Compared the cost of that with a local 4x4 garage , partners used for some time for a 4x4. . Main Audi came in cheaper. Nothing in it and I get to borrow a car for the day. Local garage don't offer that. 44000 mileage to date on my Audi and I now only do 3000 a year.

Thanks Cliff, There are a lot of factors to consider. There are pros too. I'll do some more research.

There seem to be a lot of unknown factors in this conversion Steve, any one of which could bring the project to a dead stop. It is not something I would have taken on even 40 years ago when I was willing and able to get my hands dirty, unless there was certainty about the result.

Ah apologies

Does sound like a megatronics unit unfortunately

Quick update on the gearbox issue. Mechanic told me to disconnect battery. Reconnected after half hour and to be fair the gearbox shifted seamlessly then went back into fault from 1-2. I’ve just got the stage 1 remap removed today and no issues at all so far. I’m wondering if the ecu map has caused this as I didn’t get the tcu done. It’s now booked in on the 7th to get looked at anyway. It’s so slow tho.

Hi the part number is on the hose, alternatively go on line there must be the worlds supply of silicone replacements.
