hi alan id say get the compressor checked.greg

im glad you got sorted,best of luck with it for the future.greg

hi richard welcome to the forum.thats a nice avant,the best of luck with it.greg

very interesting,ill have a look at mine and keep ye posted,thanks

hi francis,ive the same engine in my coupe and i changed the cold start valve on mine,it definitely improved it but i do get the same problem as you when the engine is cold,is yours ok once it warms up?

very nice car,best of luck with it.Greg

ah it could have been a lot worse,at least no other vehicle was involved so its probably a cheap lesson

i can see why it was 1100,it looks like a very professional repair in fairness.it wont happen him again hopefully! Greg

no problem,i know on the a6 of the same year its fairly straightforward,

you need to remove the plastic strip that runs back from the door handle,theres 3 bolts there and then theres 2more down onthe panel where the switch is for the elec window.

maybe google it and itll show you clearly.Greg

hi richard,i think the history for cam belt change and service history will be online if its been done by audi or a reputable independant garage.Greg

hi imran,id be removing the door car and check is there something loose or if someone previously changed the window reg they may not have put it back properly or maybe left a nut or washer in the door panel.Greg

i agree kev,theyre very overpriced,the only consolation here in eire is theres no import duty.Greg

i checked mine,theres rubber fitted on the top and bottom but the the sides have none,it sits onto the rubber seal thats around the boot,i hope this helps.Greg

ha ha,your not wrong stephen ,they certainly know how to charge.

im not 100% sure are we talking about the same rubber,if you put up a pic ill compare it to mine this evening,Greg

theres also a company called audi tradition in germany,theyre not cheap but supposedly they buy all parts from audi when they are for 15 yr old cars and older,Greg

hi pete,ive a 95 coupe and it has the rubber all around the window,

greg

welcome to the forum,very nice looking s4,im sure youl sort the bonnet catch with a bit of fiddling and patience,best of luck.Greg

just an update on the issue with the headlight,after 3 weeks of trying various things i gave the car to an auto electrician who said the unit was not repairable so i bought a new headlight from motorfactors who i always use,it cost me 730 euro.audi wanted 1450 for same unit!! anyway ive it fitted now so all good again.

by the way,these are very hard to get in breakers here in eire and i tried a few in the uk too but appearantly this is a fairly common problem on the A5.Greg

hi jeremy,i would definitely get a second opinion from a local independant garage as audi are well known for diagnosing the very worst scenario .greg

its definitely worth a try! thanks again

ill check it again tomorrow in the daylight, thanks for your advice jason

no jason theyre the original headlights,i had a good check and all wiring seems fine,i checked all the fuses too,

it a 2014 a5.

hi jason,its just the one headlight.
