If you are sending the head off for skimming, porting etc get the engineer doing the job to advise you on valves, they will have the machinery and tools to inspect them all

I would have thought so Faisal, the plug will be the same on all the models

OK for now disconnect the pad sensor, they work on a broken wire system, so until it detects a current running back and forward you will have a light on, cut the plug off and then twist the 2 wires together and wrap in insulation tape, this should put the light out as a temporary measure , unfortunately you wont get a replacement from Audi nor from an auto factors, however if you contact somebody breaking the same sort of car and ask them to cut 1 from it for you with plenty of wire to be able to reconnect it to where the female plug should be

Unless you have VCDS or equivalent to recode the battery details into the correct blocks you will have all sorts of problems throw up on the dash, RING an independent garage and get them to quote to fit it for you, I wouldn't use either of the 2 tyre centres you have had quotes from nor Halfords, as none of them know how to correctly code the battery in, and as Gareth has said, a garage will supply and fit what they get from the local motor factors, unless of course you ask for a certain battery, also garages like shops have to mark up their prices to RRP to make a living, before we had the internet you would only get garage prices, unless you knew where to go to get a better deal, now you can get prices less than RRP online

The V10 5.2 was fitted to the RS6 Avant (C6 platform), also the R8, it may well have been fitted to the A8 as well

You may find on the pipe the part number, it may help you with getting a replacement pipe, I see it seems to run from the Turbo on the induction side, so more than likely an induction pipe

The pipe itself is part of the vacuum system, will connect to 1 of the turbo/wastegate/egr valve solenoids

Hi Saviola, is this the correct clutch kit https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256310853812?fits=Car+Make%3AAudi|Cars+Year%3A2016|Model%3AA4&hash=item3bad5140b4:g:YNcAAOSwpRxlLlG0&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8PfJfSFwRxLg3T44fgZE3mc%2BoCTjeICV%2BxDae%2Fscjr87bIrN5VkzofZ65fDWjxkNF5MsI8IzskbUVtq%2Blga1MXx5D2YQCv3Wx425ll%2FYQG28FAZQZdGCT8QgrMMUf97nuJqAw4BIjEZ5DOZV0J9ekZu%2BgcypxGpkHKG%2FI1JEHFbOWeBVqWbgj%2F5cnugQ4%2Bb1L4FfS%2B%2FCaK90gYfANLkb1OXXW%2F2S2SZCuLaD9Yh%2FxfdD3DD5P4XWaq1Qh2%2Bhi6kFuTV1RxX6AOxa%2F2fiuHbrq0%2FxH5De4mknv3c%2B9Ilw6zrMX0HJ11lvQ49vDCf%2BunPHGA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_7NgOalYw or this 1 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256310902058?fits=Car+Make%3AAudi|Cars+Year%3A2016|Model%3AA4&hash=item3bad51fd2a:g:G6kAAOSwhM9lDT9k&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8BaaQPcFOxzRN82ZunDU0yERiUVEyDZU1YzE22YFoK1Gk1STEh9OS%2FY%2BepVfI5AU31g%2FKA6X9wxD2KQjNMO7HN3eB6%2BzY5QHh%2Bz2I1SE3Vk3iW4GxZhRU2GuYPKat%2F35wnXLXsxxm3I4RWeUV5LiTb4c2zmlZmixcKpiAs6E%2BZVbhke%2FTeyESSmOy9Kdkl2PkaPewpV3lechCxjM0GqF11R7v4e3ydo5FTQDID2zxHcAJdpPAQsuS1amJoAvKSwbpA3iD9yxQNTExkdeEjI8klo7W8ejnoyF32QvDXfV5vVeCikXIZNHqDpf%2Beg3jinTFQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4TOgOalYw

Hi Allan, have you checked the fan resistor/rheostat isn't blown?

Hi John you may find that the battery needs coding to the ECU, the majority of newer cars need to have the ecu told what the battery is etc, to do it you will need OBDeleven or VCDS (used to be called VagCom) and as much information from the new battery as possible. I don't want you to think I am asking a silly question but you are 100% sure the old battery it is the correct battery for the vehicle, correct amperage and CCA etc, and the new 1 you have bought is also correct

I would use a company called J&R CV joints, they are a British based company and they send out on a usually next day delivery

Ok, the price is down to it being a TDi and having a Dual Mass Flywheel, and yes I would get it replaced at same time as the clutch, a DMF when it goes can take out the gear box and possibly the back end of the engine (it contains heavy weight springs inside), you could always get a solid flywheel replacement for the vehicle along with clutch kit which would then negate having to replace the flywheel ever again, however you would need to keep hold of the name of the manufacturer of the solid flywheel/ clutch kit for further clutch replacements in years to come

Hi Alison, yes it does sound a bit steep, but firstly is your Q5 a quattro? If yes then it could be down to the ABS sensor being stuck into the hub and they have then had to strip the hub down to get the sensor out without causing any damage to the rear CV joint, wheel bearing and ABS reluctor ring that works in conjunction with the abs sensor, ask for an itemised bill as to what they have done.

Hi Matt, think you will find its a chain, or should I say 4 chains on the 3.0 v6, you can buy complete kits which has the chains, pulleys and tensioner guides, if still unsure check with your local independent parts suppliers, be sat down when they give you the cost though, and also be sat down when the garage gives you the quote for labour
