Hi Gareth

Yep that's correct - Magnatec fully synthetic

My only complaint was that container doesn't have a pouring nozzle, good job I had a funnel.

Hello David,

Hopefully someone else will be along and be definite, but I think (should be in caps!) it is fully synthetic 5w/30. But please, please double check.

Halfords normally have on-the-counter reference books at the point where they sell their oil. 

The recommended grade of oil is also likely to have an Audi 'specification number', so be certain the one you choose satisfies this as well. 

IF it is 5/30 then I've been using a Quantum brand ( their Longlife 3) which I understand is/was recommended by VAG. It's currently available with some EBay sellers at around £25 for 5ltrs. Incase it helps, if I'm not using VAG filters then I will only use Mann as an alternative. 

Hope some of this helps, but please recheck.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hi David, if you've only had the car 3 weeks then it might be worth taking it back to the dealer for them to look at it (if it came from a dealer that is).

Hi David, alot of electrical issues can be be traced to the battery. I'd recommend you get the battery tested to see if it's working as it should be. If it's not that then a diagnostic check could be advised.

Cheers

Steve

Hi Steve

Thanks for reaching out. 

The car is new to me in the past 3 weeks, however I have a full service history including a receipt for new battery that was fitted 4 months ago. 

I'll drop it down my local garage and ask them to stick in their diagnostic computer.

Hello

Audi A4 B6 2004 Convertible

I have a flashing LED on the drivers door. According to the handbook it indicates an issue with the alarm / security system. The central locking is working fine. Does anyone have any pointers to what maybe causing this fault?

Thanks
