Hi Again, That is a ludicrous price for a space saver wheel from Audi. (£475) just to lie in the boot, and you may never need it. the wheel shop is your best option as far as I can see, unless you have plenty of money to throw away,

Hi Again, I found that the toolkit was very robust. I'm sure you will find it ok.

Hi, Try the wheel shop for a space saver wheel and jack, they have your size in stock. maybe not genuine Audi, but excellent quality. I have one from there for my q3. p.s. Audi supplied the foam fitting for tools etc. hope this helps.

Wheel balance perhaps ??

Hi, I have a 2024 q3 1.5 tfsi, s line again no engine cover fitted. I delved into the reason why, and was told that in the past, some engine covers were going on fire due to the heat from the turbo. p.s. you can get them off eBay if you search, but I wouldn't risk it. hope this helps. by the way, I have a Manuel dipstick fitted to my engine. Brian.

Hi, The wheel shop is worth a try, I got a space saver for my 2024 q3 from them. Brian.

I would try the space saver wheel on the front of the car to make sure it clears the brake caliper first. Brian.

as far as I can remember, going back a few years on various Audi's I have owned, there has always been a low brake pad warning sensor fitted to the inner brake pad on the o/s/r.

Allan without complicating matters, if you google (Audi Service Intervals,) all will become clear. hope this helps. Brian.

Hi, I bought my Q3 tfsi s line, new on 1/10/24, to date it has only covered 2400 miles. my car is set on the annual service schedule, and for the last few days has been reminding me, that it requires a service in 30 days or so. Magnet, is correct in saying about low mileage vehicles requiring frequent oil changes. mine is going in on the 29/09/24. luckily my first 2 services and mot's, where included in the package when I bought the car. Brian.

Hi, A big pair of pliers will get them off. Brian

I think he is after the cover, which hides the mounting point, where you screw in the towing eye. Brian.

Hi Yes, the 46mm reading on your Laser dipstick is correct for the 2ltr idi engine. Brian.

No problem

A5Kev. On my earlier post, I gave the make and part no of the dipstick which I have, I bought it a few years ago, so that I could get an accurate oil reading on my A4 Allroad 2ltr tdi the dipstick comes with instructions on how to adjust it depending on which engine you have. (by the way, out of curiosity, I once called into my local Audi Dealer, and asked them if they would check the engine oil level, the mechanic brought out the identical dipstick from the workshop as I had) enough said. Brian.

Hi, can't beat an old fashioned dipstick couldn't be bothered with all that messing about. Brian.

Hi you can buy an adjustable dipstick from e bay, I have one myself.it does a number of engines. mine is a FRANKLIN PT NO AT31111. there are also others, if you go on eBay, and type in (genuine audi engine oil adjustable dipstick)‚ you will see it, (it has a small chain attached) hope this helps Brian.

hope it's sorted this time.

Had this happen on my previous A4 Allroad about 2 years ago, only it was the o/s/r. I know at least another 2 people who have had to change the o/s/r mount due to it breaking up. so it pays to keep an eye on them.

Hi, I used to own a a4 allroad b9, fitted with 245/45r18 inch tyres. the space saver tyre size you require is T125/70 R I9 et29. Hope this helps p.s. worth contacting The Wheel Shop. Brian.

regarding the engine cover, it appears, that Audi used to fit them to models with a petrol engine,but had some problems with the covers melting, due to the heat generated by the turbo, so they stopped fitting them, (my engine has only 3 out of 4 fixing points for the cover,) I have seen them on E Bay etc, but won't bother, as I don't want any problems. Brian.

HI, MY NEW AUDI Q3 1.5 TFSI (OCT 2024) DOES NOT HAVE A ENGINE COVER FITTED, ON CONTACTING AUDI PARTS DEPT, THEY TELL ME THAT AUDI DO NOT SUPPLY THEM, YET I HAVE SEEN THEM FOR SALE ON E BAY ETC, HAS ANYONE ELSE BOUGHT ONE ELSEWHERE?? THANKS IN ADVANCE BRIAN.

Hi, I would be taking it back to the dealer asap.

thought that might be the problem. glad you got it sorted. (you must have sent that post whilst I was typing my reply) Brian.

hi, just wondered, was the bonnet open or closed when you tried to reset the wipers via the mmi?? I would open the bonnet, if it was shut, then close it smartly, and try to reset the wipers again. ( just a thought) Brian.
