happy easter to all the admin thank you for all your time and effort best wishes stephen😁

just done mine with quantum longlife 111 5w/30(bought from ebay) but mines for the a4 b8 2.0tdi...... all good

mine bleeped loudly the other day.but thankfully it was showing on the dash as a rear winker not working.you could just go round the car to eliminate anything like that.stephen

blimey your right gregg not cheap....https://shops.audi.com/en_GB/web/tradition/spare-parts/c-series-audi-100-a6/audi-a6-s6-rs-6-avant-c5-1997-2005/fuel-tanks-pipes-exhaust-system-heating

hi jason i was told that when removing the alternator pulley to remember its opposite thread.but mines a b8....can you confirm this.i could not get mine off in situ.it needs to be on a bench.i left mine as was ok.it was only at the time i had changed all the other rollers.regards stephen

just removed my large front undertray this morning but this is on an audi a4 b8 2011 similar to above but used a torx 25 bit mine are certain type torx screws where you just turn them twice and they are loose enough to pull out.there are 3 torx screws at the back of the tray and 3 at each side of the tray and then i am able to slide the try out backwards....note(if in your case) how the front part of the tray slots in place when putting it back with 2 slots going inside the small tray at the front and two slots stay on the outside of the tray....(note this and take a picture before removing.....you may just need to remove the 3 rear screws(again if in your case) and be able to grab the brush head but it will still mean jacking the car up and putting axle stands under.local garage might be helpful and only charge a small amount.easy enough job for me to do.

i used tesco's fuel once in my old volvo v40 and noticed a slight hesitation at times.i always use sainsburys fuel now and had no problems.i read they are still using e5 and not e10 i do use a fuel additive too.whether it really makes a difference i dont know but i have put fuel in twice without additives and never noticed any difference.i dont use sainsburys best diesel(v power)but may use it if convinced on here,and if it means i no longer need to ad additives

2 people came to see a car i had for sale while i was distracted, the other put oil in the expansion tank lol i quickly told them to leave....some people today

if you have to take this apart then here is a video on how to.also here is what someone else tried even though its for a different modelhttps://www.audiworld.com/forums/s6-c7-platform-discussion-199/center-armrest-stuck-upright-position-2940426/

not sure if you need to know about this one,as just one single call at the time of print sep 2021....https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/audi-rsq8-recalled....also this at 60,000 miles.......

Nice one! I'll see if I can make it work once I've booked the trip 😊

i would drink to that if you both could meet up.lol

hi,i have an audi a4 avant tdi but mines the b8 and i see your d/i/l's is a b9....hope her thermostat is not in the same place as mine as its a pain to do(see pics)mine is the thermostat(circled pic 1) surrounded by the casing it comes complete.i had to remove the alternator(pic 2 expanded view) to get to the torx screws and to be able to manoeuvre the thermostat and casing out....what a job getting it out,and back in.i had to put a clamp on the pipe to the right of the thermostat(see pic 3) to stop a leak i got after putting it all back together Grrrrrrrrrr.lol.....good luck hope your d/i/ls is easier to do than mine was.i only changed the thermostat as a precaution as i had changed the cambelt aux belt and rollers and because of the high mileage.kind regards stephen

does your dash look anything like this

please try what i suggested above

hello james welcome to the audi forum regards stephen😉

thanks for the advice steve much appreciated i will try the dipetane.no i promise i wont go anywhere near the inlet valves after reading what you've put.thanks also for the advice on the egr my engine is similar cjcb i think.but without the dipstick. kind regards.stephen😉

firstly i dont have any codes or management light on the dash.is it worth the hassle of of removing the egr/cooler to clean it up to improve miles per gallon.is it a big job too getting to the inlet valves to clean them out regards stephen

hi andy, welcome to the forum.thank God nobody was hurt.never heard of this happening to anyone.hope you get sorted soon with a good outcome.kind regards stephen
