Hi Ray WHat is the particular problem you have with your A4?

Oh blimey! That could have been catastrophic if the wheel had parted company with the car. I would probably replace the wheel nuts/bolts to be on the safe side or at least take one from the other wheels and replace it the suspect ones....which should be okay in the long term. I would also check any other wheel nuts/bolts for correct torque and if they are drastically overtightened then I would replace them all. Let us know how you get on with it all p.s. I have changed the post title to describe the content

Hi Lee...welcome to the Forum Sorry for the late welcome but was at Le Mans for the week Good to have you onboard and hopefully your experience with the Audi is a good one Cheers, Trevor

Hi Ben.....welcome to the Forum As it is occurring only on over-run then it suggests that something on the engine is breaking up....my first guess is crankshaft pully harmonic balancer which can fail on the rubber insulation which bonds it together. If this fails it can give the symptoms you describe. A good way to test this is to run the engine for a brief period without the auxiliary drivebelt and if the noise is not present then it is the pulley at fault. Let us know what you find Cheers .

Hi Simon....welcome to the Forum There is an Audi dealer in Poole that would be relatively close to you. Otherwise, as you say there is one in Portsmouth that would be closer and have a good reputation. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi Ashley...welcome to the Forum

Camera

Did you go for the quoted insurance policy in the end Piotr ?

Have you taken delivery of your new motor yet PRK7 ? Fancy posting up some pics if you would like to show us what the colour combination looks like

Keep us informed how it goes and when it arrives please post up a pic or two I'm sure it will be worth the wait 🙂

Sounds like a belt is overtightened and straining the alternator bearings (or other anciliary component)

Hi AIS....welcome to the Forum Personally, I would not get rid of any of them....have you considered dispensing with the wife, dog, house, kids school fees....anything except your machinery 🙂 ....yes, I do like a drink 🤪 thanks! Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi Alistair...welcome to the Forum How's life been with the Q8 so far? Feel free to post up a photo of your new Audi if you wish. Good to have you onboard Cheers . Trevor

Hi Anthony...welcome to the Forum I suppose the bigger diesel engine is the more desirable one to get if you are towing but also the gross vehicle weight is more in line with towing a larger caravan, if this is what you are looking to do. Like any car, it is always desirable to ensure that the maintenance has been regularly carried out in accordance with manufacturers recommendations and using quality parts then you shouldn't have any major issues. A lengthy warranty is also a bonus. Good to have you onboard Cheers . Trevor

Hi Simon Sounds like the door switches could be faulty. Not sure if they are external....e.g. on the doo pillar and the door depresses the switch when closed, or alternatively, they are internal in the door latch mechanism. If the latter then maybe some electrical contact cleaner sprayed into the latch mechanism area may produce some results, worth a try I reckon. Let us know what you find

Hi Bradley....welcome to the Club How is living with the A3 going? Hopefully all is going well and no unexpected issues. Good to have you onboard Cheers . Trevor
