    Hi Steve This is exactly what a car techy told me recently. Tony

    Took the car in. No fault codes, not done it since, rear wash wipe behaving itself, no charge. A glitch in the system perhaps.

    Should be OK with that mileage

    Ni A Had mine replaced a few months ago. Cam Belt and Water Pump. It does make sense if you are that deep into the engine and the labour involved. (£915 at Audi) How many miles has the car done? Tony

    OOPS sent it twice

    Hi Greg I paid around £500, but I see on their site that they are charging £600 now. Eveything is going up!! Tony

    The trouble is Gareth because I live in the supposedly affluent area of Kent our Indies are nearly the same price as Main Dealers. When I had the cam belt and water pump done the Audi price was £915 and our local guys were £850, so I might as well go to Audi. Also I get a nice valet, MOT for life and the coffee is not bad. Apart from that the receptionist has a figure you would die for. I have booked the car in for Wednesday next week and I will let you know the out come. Tony

    Hi Gareth Just looked at the tailgate, looks nice and dry, but unless you strip down the roof lining I can't actually see anything. The wiper starts with the column switch off, so in theory that circuit should not be live. So any break would have the opposite effect of the wiper not working. We have now got some nice blue sky and no rain, I'll see if it behaves itself today. If not I will have to take out a second mortgage and send it in to Audi for surgery. Tony

    Hi My rear wiper has taken on a whole new life of it's own. Comes on when it wants to. Sometimes just a few wipes, but other times runs continuously for a few minutes. Strangely enough it only does it when it is wet. Not read anything regarding a moisture sensor in the rear window, but who knows? Tony

    Could be valve guide seals weeping a bit overnight. Try lifting your foot off the accelerator letting the wheels drive the car on over run, then accelerate fairly briskly if they is blue smoke it could be the valve guides.

    If I keep my foot off the brake pedal, press start, put seat belt on, Then press brake pedal , press start again it all comes alive straight away. One thing though, my headlight washers deploy if it has been standing out in the freezing weather.

    No problem. Keep your fingers out of the way as they snap on quite tight.

    Hi Mike I replaced all the badges on my Avant Black Edition to black. The front badge is held on by plastic clips. Start at the bottom with a thin screwdriver or a trim kit and work your way round. It pings off eventually. Accurately measure it as they vary from year to year. The side and rear badges fishing line and evostick remover to clean up with. I bought all the badges from Ebay for around £25. Tony

    Hi Very sadly my wife has passed away. I have a mobility scooter hoist in my Avant that is unfortunately no longer required, if anybody is interested. I also have the scooter. Tony

    Hi Just an update, with more info. I was Sales Manager for an Italian Porcelain wall and floor tile manufacturer and distributor. I travelled extensively mainly UK but also Europe and Brazil. Took redundancy in 2000 didn't work for a couple of years. Golf handicap come down nicely. Got bored, got a job delivering and collecting new cars for a multi- franchise company. Again, travelled the UK. Now retired, playing golf again regularly. Tony

    Joking aside. These body work noises are so annoying. My front suspension on my A6 creaks a bit. Been in at Audi no problems. Still cost me £160 for an inspection. Tony

    Hi Munir I get a creaking noise every time I go upstairs. I think it is probably my knees. Tony

    Hi Derek. I am concerned for you and your car. As the car is more than 5 years old and has done 100k miles the cam belt is well over due. If it did break or shred it can cause catastrophic damage to the engine. The £600 to £1000 pounds to replace it is much cheaper than the £6000 to replace the engine.

    Hi Derek. Assuming that you have had it regularly serviced, check that the brake fluid has been changed. Are you doing this your self, as I have just had my cam belt and water pump replaced by my friendly Audi dealership and it was £915. Tony

    Hi Mo Just scanning through past forum entries, did you get your A6 and is every thing OK? Tony
  21. Anton8
    Much, much better, thanks. Tony
  22. Anton8
    Thanks for the info. Job done, my friends at Kia sorted it. No charge, just a drink for the boys. Tony

    Hi Gareth. My part time job is delivering new cars for Kia. So I will run it into them this afternoon to get it done. I just wanted to be sure that they used the correct gas for The Audi and not some mickey mouse stuff from South Korea. Tony

    Hi Gregg I think The Tech Pack includes a slightly larger screen, electric seats, etc. If you go into the media system on the screen the jukebox should be there as an option. Tony

    Thanks Steve. I found a little sticker under the bonnet with the gas type stamped on it. Tony
