All done now really happy but now thinking of renewing warranty in August using Motor Easy as they deal with consequential damage which many companies don’t any thoughts on this company I believe they used to be Warranties Direct

Just going by the book and using correct parts and recommendations

Audi recommends if theres a clutch problem as mine change the flywheel at 65,000 miles miles done 64,000 and some so change flywheel

It’s done 65,000 m mile and is 2014 registered with full service history

It’s an Audi TD I 2.00 litre Cabriolet and its at central Audi birmingham not a main dealer but specialists who have done work for us before

Clutch slave cylinder leaking at Audi specialists told me flywheel contaminated so replace including clutch kit incl thrust bearing etc price £1488 is that about right

And our Engine Management Light was on it may be worth looking at a warranty we are with Warranty Solutions who are excellent

Hi John we had much the same problem but our dpf light was on virtually permanently we took it to a so called Audi specialist who was full of rubbish and couldn’t sort it then we were recommended to Audi Central in Erdington Birmingham who sorted the problem in a day when it came down to it it was a sensor which they replaced I think it was called the Exaust emissions sensor and I believe there are three so they used a donor car to see which sensor and like magic they sorted it . But they did tell me if the DPF was at a certain level of whatever it might need replacing luckily ours was ok and this was done under the warranty given by the dealer we bought the car off

Thanks Steve contact them Monday and you were right about tyre pressure info brilliant

Can you replace the indicator strips in the wing mirrors as ours are only partly lighting

Not sure of the name but there is a company in Coventry that specialises in soft tops google hood repairs in Coventry

Just checked and can’t see it in the handbook

On the door chart on our A3 Cabriolet TDI 2.0 litre it only shows pressures for 17 ‘’ wheels. Ours are 18’’ so what is the correct tyre pressure we have Bridgestone R18 Turranza’s fitted all around thanks for your help

Topped up once in 12 months hardly anything

How often should you have to top up coolant

At what revs should the turbo cut in

Certain garages can carry out a forced re gen I think Halfords can do it

I would check that just in case where are you situated

The warning light covers numerous problems the dpf light might not come on if it’s not blocked it may need regenerating but the problem is exactly the same as mine we took ours to Audi Central just outside Birmingham and they sorted the problem and it was the sensor I have mentioned and our warranty covered it Audi Central are not a dealership but specialise in Audi VW and Skoda and they do all our work

We had the same problem and it turned out to be the exhaust emission sensor I think their are 3 but diagnostics don’t tell you which one so trial and error I would get a diagnostics check did you get a warranty with the vehicle

Thanks Steve will let you know

Any in the Birmingham area or not to far away

You can open them manually Chechen hand book

Hi we had the same problem and ours was the motor only the roof would unlock lift slightly then nothing a garage in Birmingham did ours and they supply and fit the motors as audi will do the same but they will include hydraulics which wasn’t needed can give you the garage and number but not the cost because our seller paid for it as the fault occurre the day after we purchased it
