very nice car,the best of luck with it.Greg

well done,a good result

hi cliff.id say hes talking about the high pressure fuel pump.Greg

the car needs to be plugged into vcds to reset inspection interval.Greg

its been a very interesting thread to follow,im looking forward to seeing it finished,youve really done great work on it

a tip is to remove the wheel and wheel arch lining on the side you are doing and loosen the wing around the headlight,it doesnt take too long and its well worth doing it to avoid scratching the new headlight

hi jim,yes its a simple plug in and play,i recently replaced headlight on my a5,it was 720 euro,theyre not a cheap unit.Greg

very very nice car,the best of luck with it.Greg

hi pete yes the glass needs to be removed and some small screws to remove the cowl,its fiddly and a delicate job but can be done easily,check out a you tube video before you start.Greg

neil is right,its an immobiliser and if its still wired the car wont start until you put a little fob up to it.i had the same thing in an xr4i.

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
