  1. Hi All, 2019 B9 Avant develops a really irritating squeak from somewhere in the boot. I dispatch nephew into the boot while I find a bumpy road. Squeak found to be some wobbly trim just under the driver side rear light cluster. If you pop that cubby hole cover off in the boot on driver side, a couple of inches below the light cluster there is a threaded spindle sticking through the body work. It looks like it should have a nut on it. But doesn't. Pull on the spindle, squeak stops, blissful silence. You just see the bumper move slightly when you pull it, a couple of mm. If looks like the nut fell off (looked but could not see it). But plot thickens - I checked the other side, it's the same, no nut on that spindle. I did not buy it new, it's possible the bumper has been off and they weren't replaced. But if someone could check theirs and see if they have a nut there, I'd appreciate it. Thanks HC.
  2. Solved by local garage - replaced the knock sensor.
  3. Thanks for reply. I can measure it but I'm sure it's not the battery - starter motor was turning it over way too well, no hesitation, no slowness. We tried a tow start, it was sounding like it wanted to start, but couldn't quite get there. If it was battery, it definitely would have started at that point...
  4. A 1991 Audi 100 2.3E sat idle for a couple of months, and the battery went flat. Prior to this, it was in use most days and reliable. The battery was taken out and charged, and after that the car cranks but won't start. The battery was not reconnected wrong way round, even for a second. Maybe taking the battery out has nothing to do with it, it could be a coincidence. There is no alarm fob on the key, there is no alarm fitted, and I don't think it has an immobiliser, key is very simple. Does anyone have an idea what might cause this ? Due to recent bereavement the car now needs to be sold, so it needs to be running. It seems a real shame to scrap this car. Thanks.
