    We have in the last few months been receiving spam posts on the community. These were not new members, but compromised accounts from members accounts that were set up in the past. However, these were not compromised by our security but from email and password lists bought by spammers to access various accounts across the internet. This is mainly due to users using the same email and password throughout all of their accounts they have.

    So to iterate that the club has not been compromised / hacked. I have seen this on many forums, blogs, email accounts etc. This even happens on login accounts for companies such as Subway, Costa, Starbucks etc. as well. Many companies now require 2 factor authentication these days to get round this issue.

    So we have decided to request everyone with accounts that have not logged in for more than 180 days to reset their password. We have not done it for recent regular members yet, however, we will be requiring 2 factor authentication with a question to log in so we can secure your account from spammers posting junk on your behalf. 

    All this is done as a precaution and to prevent annoyance to the community, and of course your security.

    Thanks

  2. Japanese cars are usually better condition in comparison, their roads are amazing and clean, they don't salt their roads so usually underneath is spot on. 

    You just need to make sure the agent in japan knows his beans when it comes to an auction purchase.

    I have had many a jap import of Japanese cars but cannot see it being much different for other brands too.

    Best bet is to get the VIN number and do a carVX report, this will show you the auction hisotry and their inspections, bit like MOT history. Cheap and well worth doing.

  3. Did stelvio pass in 2017 plus lots of other passes 

    Interesting to see Audi test their camouflage test mules up the  Grossglockner pass pulling trailers which i can only assume is testing equipment.

  5. Hi

    welcome to the club

    It might sound obvious but did you check interior lights, including rear? (once my daughter was messing with rear interior light and left it on overnight)

    Check the battery connection is tightened, best some sometimes remove, clean up and retighten the connectors back on. 

    If this does it again then you have the battery tested, this can be done at any garage or Halfords. No need to go to Audi for this, too pricey!

    Batteries to fade over time and this may be a knackered.

  6. a shot in the dark maybe that their is an air leak between the maf sensor and the engine.

     

    So maybe with the air leak then too much air getting in to the engine to what the MAF sensor is letting on.

     

    Total shot in the dark but worth checking the intake for leaks, splits or gaps.

     

    The only thing i can imagine that would not give an error code.
