  5. hi and welcome.....would you think having a diagnostic check for codes may help.....good luck if you need to change the thermostat.i had a right job getting the thermostat out in such a tight space.(thermostat sealed in a plastic casing)....i ended up taking the alternator off to get to it.then you try getting the pipe back on that runs to the right of the thermostat for the coolant to run through.check for leaks in that area once its all back together best wishes stephen
  6. my old auid a4 2011 parcel shelf was not sitting right in place and making a knocking noise. so a few squirts of the smelly WD40 and massaging the mechanism on the parcel shelf for 15 minutes or so sorted itsorry i have no idea about an a5 2018 but this could be the problem...now sits in place and no knocking
  7. it performs its function but audi says charge it up the stop start is not performimg like it should and when i put the snap on to check things it says please ensure that the battery of the vehicle is kept above 12.75 volts.... so i am losing communication with the car when trying to check for any codes/faults.not tried an audi independent gareth.regards stephen
  8. no gareth
  9. i bought a brand new(supposedly), halfords stop/start battery from ebay i took it to audi but they could not code it to the car.so i went to halfords and said it would cost a £100 to code it to the car.so i left it.
  10. check fuses do you have a owners manual
  11. would unplugging the radio and waiting a few hours(inconvenient)then trying it.regards
  12. it seems a common fault...is this the video to do this. ....it says make sure you have an 8m spline bit read the rest of the first comment too.i have read also that the fault can be caused by the main door lock too.but dont quote me on this.

  14. hi,did you end up taking the egr out in the end and cleaning it.if yes what cleaning agent did you use. any pictures as i was going to have a go myself at some point as i know the holes can get blocked even though nothing has appeared on the dash.just a precaution thanks

  19. I never realised that Audi now recommend SAE 0W-30 longlife 111 FE oil for my audi a4 tdi at £65 for 5 litres and thats with a 15% discount.(been using 05-30)apparantely its been that way for sometime.had to use a well known site for a cheaper option😉.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255714854467?hash=item3b89cb0643:g:D6oAAOSw-vVjGK23&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0CXbAFyGRsSQ%2Bpptm179Co3uI6BM9t6IiJmx40nNZ3hm%2FZaRvCmL6xbAegmHd15Qp3uB25wffQfUjjOlu7S8g6XsJpHNLtkw5rSvuYv5pZUgyB7c%2FvF27dLrs9naKcccIZWUhNj4tTzf75pPCtQdfdKSfO9q6dNPWty%2BMUUiniV3OM8SwX%2Fntid2Rh%2BgI%2FuayvnjFChHq9Fy3vppPRJferXhlF9dpHlu9GL7ILmjhFH7yO7MKCn3FTtLmoVxlJHHsujI2dqatiu%2FV%2FYLilXJZhw%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5S25oWcYw...

  21. we have been very fortunate in both main wars my grandfather was gassed in the first world war but survived.his face used to swell up now and then.my father survived conflict at sea.and my father in law flew the lancaster bomber in the 2nd world war and survived.my family have been very fortunate.and always grateful to our past generations.very loving, caring,grateful,thankful....we have a cenotaph close to us.and bagpipes are played just before 11am on remembrance day.and try and go over to show how thankful we are.when you see other conflicts going on around the world you feel for them.
