  1. What are those weird 4 bolts, how do you remove them!?
  2. Hi all, I think it know the answer but need to check.. Cars been sat up for 6 weeks as I have an EV and im looking to sell it I thought I had better give it a run, but battery was totally dead So brought battery in, charged it, but keys wouldn't unlock the door or boot so assumed it needed re-paired to the car as the battery was so flat I started the car, worked fine - great BUT.. When i tried the sequence to re-pair the key fob, there was a hell of a weird vibration noise coming from the front oaasenger side, the glovebox was vibrating like mad Turns out the passenger footwell is soaking, proper soaking - i peeled the carpet back and there's a few cm of water 😞 Am I right in saying this is where the comfort module is? Is it being in water likely the noise somehow and this is the real reason the fob doesn't work the central locking? I love the car but if this is what it is id imagine its expensive and not worth fixing 😞
  3. Hi all Just recently I've noticed when I turn my steering wheel either way, even whilst stationary, there's a concerning rubbing/groaning noise which appears to ( I THINK!) come from the front passenger side wheel area. The power steering fluid seems fine, it's at max. Anyone know what this is likely to be? Is the car safe to drive until I can see a mechanic on Monday? Thank you
  4. Hi, my car got serviced yesterday and now the MPG calcs are acting weird Ie, on "2" setting which is the long term mpg, it fluctuates all over the place! I had the spark plugs and all filters changed, is it possible they reset fuel trims or something and that's cleared settings and will take a while to settle down? Thanks
  5. Ah really!?!? Just pure petrol and a rag? And that won't stain the fabric?
  6. Previous owner had someone "rebond" the glass and they must have had a gorilla do it, there's silicone or glue all over the place on the back of the roof Does anyone know good products or methods for removing it without damaging the fabric? Thanks
  7. Are there upgrades that can be done? Ie better speakers or do you need to also do the headunit too? I take it the newish BT enabled screen headunits wouldn't fit? Mine is current basic audi symphony one What's the standard amp that's in the back? Thanks!
  8. Having changed my own roof motor successfully and feeling confident, I'm now up for servicing myself! Is there a how to for oil changes, filters etc anywhere that anyone knows of? Are spark plugs easily changed on these? Re air filters, does anyone recommend anything other than the standard ? Thank you
  9. Woohoo! It was indeed the motor, working Like a dream now Interestingly, when !Removed! the new motor to the pump, the bolts are as tight as they go but there's a very very slight bit of movement between the motor and pump, really really tiny amount, but does thar sound right?
  10. Hi thanks, I'm in Glasgow though! Have ordered a motor, hopefully that's all it is Wonder if it maybe even just needs fluid topped up? Nightmare to get to it though yo check so will wait for the motor to arrive and check Any ideas how to top the fluid up?
  11. Thanks, what software do you need to properly diagnose?
  12. Hi, can you give me some pointers on where to check? It is weird as it worked fine for a few weeks after buying it then just stopped operating properly and no flashing error light or anything, just pops then nothing else I'm struggling to find ant diagrams of where the sensors etc are, can you help?
  13. No nobody near who can do one for me Is it daft me buying a motor just incase it isn't that? I can get a motor and pump for £280, as opposed to £140 just for motor, am I better doing that? The fact it pops open a few cm then nothing apparently suggests it's the motor only?
  14. I can see replacement motors on ebay for about £140 which is great but daft question... is there a "pump" too? What are the chances it's the motor as opposed to the pump I need replaced? Thanks
  15. I need to change my rear indicator bulb When I use my 8mm socket to try and undo the nut in the boot, it just turns and turns and turns without ever actually getting the bolt part out Am I doing something daft!?
