Hi, how ironic you should ask this evening. I did get it sorted and it’s been fine. Unfortunatly it broke down again on Tuesday, different issue this time. If just died on me. I thought I may have stalled it as it was in a hill but after much diagnostics and research I was made aware today by the garage it was flat bedded to that the diesel pump is shot. I’m informed it’s a job which is in excess of £2K so tonight I’m not a very happy chappy ☹️ Ive uploaded the diagnostics sheet if anyone is interested or had a difference of opinion as to what the issue is. best Jon

Good evening all, I'm hoping that these next few lines will land on the screen of someone who can offer some advice, many thanks in advance. My car is a 2002 A6 allroad 2.5TDI 180bhp I bought it 9 months ago Its done 125K and in lovely condition. Just before Christmas i started noticing that the front was sinking, at first it would pump back up again when the ignition was on and the compressor kicked in, one day it decided it didn't want to pump up any more and i was faced with an issue, a grounded car! So, after a bit of research i removed both suspension legs and replaced the top and bottom O rings inside the airbag, a relativly simple job apart from the stuck pinch bolt securing the 2 upper control arms on the near side. This worked a treat on the off side and it pumped up and kept its pressure & height, however on the near side I've found that no air being delivered to this corner. Ive jacked the rear of the car and got to the valve block and disconnected the air pipe for the near side front to test if there was possible split in the pipe but no air is coming out of the block. So i seem to be chasing one problem around the car at the moment. Has anyone got any thoughts, questions, comments or solutions that they could offer me. Thanks a million. Jon
