The blue is stunning. Don't be put off too much by the auto. It is a good gearbox as long as it's got a proven service record. The megatronics unit is what fails on Audi autos.

ticking noise that was front brake pads easy fix, but the big mystery reverse gear bang/clunk solved, after lifting the car up i checked everything as suggested propshaft joints brakes engine mounts all in perfect order, booked again an appointmet to dealership took few videos beforehand because it happens occasionally and i knew they might not be able to reproduce it if i leave my car again so i had a very good master technician working on car also asked for a testdrive so i could speak to him and show the video i took, he straight away knew the problem, he said that its a dual clutch 1 clutch responsible for reverse gear might be off and the kissing points need to be adjusted also performed a basic reset on gearbox since then 2 weeks now not a single time happend, i did try to force it cold start quick shift from d to r, but didnt happen since the adaptation, see the report Hope it helps to someone in future

Drove the car the other day after my wife complained of an exhaust smell in the cabin when driving. Noticed a slight ticking noise from under the bonnet so upon investigation found one of the injector seals has gone resulting in a carbon sludge on the inner wing and exhaust manifold. Did some checking and the seals are sold separately at quite a cheap price. When changing it does also require a new injector bracket and bolt as the bolt is a stretch bolt and shouldn’t be reused. Unfortunately I’m so busy with some other bits going on for the min that I don’t have time to sort it myself, so it’s booked in at a garage to have all six seals replaced (if ones gone then logic would say the other five probably aren’t far behind it) and a service whilst it’s there. The seals and bolts are about £130 inc vat. I’ll post a couple of pics and a video incase anybody gets the same fault and wonders what it is. IMG_9185.mov

Car has now had all six injector seals replaced and a service with no problems reported. Work was done by Darkside Developments. Great service and very knowledgeable. Recommend to all

Apologies for the gripe, but the forum has recently suffered from a spate of what can be termed ‘Post and Run’ new members, who seem to think it’s perfectly acceptable to post a plea for help, and simply not return to view the help given. In a more diluted form, help is offered, but is very rarely acknowledged even via. a simple press of the Like button, leave alone a posted Thank You. The last part of the gripe is that we frequently have to ask for additional information, and this extra detail often never materialises. Please remember, everyone who posts replies do so without payment, but it certainly does cost them in time - in terms of the Moderators and Admin back up - a lot of time. So a special plea to all on here who post needing help:- please be respectful enough to acknowledge any help given, rather than simply accept it as a no-cost, no time of yours, free advice service. It’s wearing thin folks, so if you want to retain this service, please respect and acknowledge its benefits. Thank you all for reading this, and above all, agreeing to adhere to the respect that is needed to be shown. Kind regards, On behalf of the Moderators.
