Hi Thomas....welcome to the Forum Shame about the RCZ, great looking car. Some Audi engines have issues with timing chains failing but best look through the Forum posts for more information. Keep us updated with your decision about purchasing an Audi Cheers Trevor

Hi Mark...welcome to the Forum Lovin' the look of the A5....I personally think when they came out that a huge number of BMW owners migrated to Audi on the back of the A5, such a gorgeous looking shape Good to have you onboard Cheers Trevor

I also used RainEx years ago and had great results with it...not sure if it's still available? Would like to give the Duxback a try though

Bit cold for the bikes at the mo Daren...hoping to get back on mine when it gets a bit warmer...too slippy at the mo

Congrats Antabb....She's a beauty !

This caught my eye this morning when mooching through the Jaguar Owners Club. Sure does look like a lot of equipment there...hope he's got a good battery The photo below is the heart of the beast I have marked in red where the speaker output from the premium amp comes into the LC8i (bottom red oval) and where the phono signal from the rear of the LC8i comes into the JL Audio amp (top). The speaker wires from the JL Audio amp are obviously at top right. 1 person likes this Like this Quote Edit Options 2003 S Type V8 SERetrofits:- Voice, premium amp, ACM, bluetooth, rear bumper with OEM sensors, auto wipers, STR rear lights, rear blind, OEM spoiler, gearbox refurbUpgrades:- Autofold mirrors, Audiocontrol LC8i, JL Audio XD7005v2 amp, JL Audio C3-650 front, JBL coax rear, JL Audio 6W3v3-4 (x2) subs, Alpine Ezi-DAB, LED interior, mesh grill (upper & lower), Adamesh exhaust

Hi Daren...welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard! Cheers Trevor

It sure is

That's what the forum is all about Brad, we're all learning...and in my case remembering! It gets more difficult with age to remember things but as I sometimes say...it's not that I have forgotten, its because I have a larger database to search.

Hi Melissa As Magnet and Brad have both stated, problems with the compressor along with a slight leak from one or both of the front air bags could cause this

That's bad news, probably best try another box and see how you get on then...please let us know the outcome....I'm sure someone else will have the same problem at some point.

Hi Peter....welcome to the Forum As Brad-B5 has mentioned it would be an issue to change mileage without logging it, for example; if you change the mileage and try to sell it with a lower mileage then it is illegal. If you buy a secondhand unit and clock it up to the correct mileage that is fine but usually some form of note within the service history would suffice to explain why the mileage has changed and MOT mileage records, etc. However, looking at the age of your car either the mileage would change automatically from the key (as is the case with BMW) or the other scenario is that you would struggle to replace the instrument panel / speedo head without it causing major programming issues as this is part of the CanBus Gateway and is integral to the whole electronic system. Your best bet is to get it repaired if it is faulty....here is a link to a company that may be able to rebuild yours http://www.clusterrepairsuk.co.uk/ Keep us in the loop as to how you get on with this Cheers Trevor

Thanks for the information Aaron, useful advice and amazing mileage on your A4. Being nosey, whereabouts are you in France ?

Hi Jody...welcome to the Forum I think its a case of if the car is well maintained and has been looked after with FSH using quality parts then its not so much of an issue with high mileage except for when it comes to retailing it and losing money. Keep us updated Cheers Trevor

Hi...welcome to the Forum Usually when a modern HDi engine is subjected to petrol being run through the fuel system it can contaminate the seals, pipes, etc. The fact that it's running is a good thing but maybe it's worth persevering with it and keep running it with premium diesel at lower engine speeds for a while to see if it improves. Keep us updated on this one Cheers Trevor

Crikey! you are showing your age Magnet....just had to look up the system on google. Mind you, in by-gone days, cars used to stall all the time, especially if the choke was put in too early or points and carb were out of adjustment...oh how I miss those days (not)

I think that is the philosophy I use with my daily hack (Honda CRV cdti) as the turbo whines but it's perfectly fine, no wear/play on bearings, produces the boost but emits a police siren whine but now so used to it that if the Police were trying to pull me over I'd just ignore them thinking it was my turbo

Hi Nick...welcome to the Forum The Q7 is an awesome machine...can't make the comparison to the Range Rover personally as never owned either but I would imagine they are quite close in comparison. What do find are the differences (pro's & con's) of each? Cheers Trevor

Hi Raf...welcome to the Forum I totally agree with Brad-B5...it is so difficult to tell what it is without proper diagnosis being carried out first. In addition to fault codes (if any) live data should be captured to see what is 'glitching' at the time it is juddering. Keep us updated with what you find Cheers Trevor

I would have the vehicle battery(s) checked as if one is failing then this can lead to the problem. Let us know what you find

Hi Simon...welcome to the Forum Great looking interior! Cheers Trevor

Hi Aaron I would recommend a remap and intake/exhaust to improve the power output rather than replacing the turbo as the cost is far higher and also usually requires additional engine work to make it totally beneficial. The gearbox should be fine but the clutch may need a heavier duty driven plate if the power increases that much. If the engine is consuming oil then it is either leaking or burning it (in which case there should be some signs of it)....maybe change the grade (heavier weight of oil...e.g. 0w30 to 5w30). The posts are answered as quick as possible but as Brad-B5 has stated it seems like everyone has a particular problem they want sorted and there is not much interaction from other members with responses or answers. Eventually I'm sure things will change so please bear with us :-) Cheers Trevor

As Brad-B5 has said, a full diagnostic check would isolate the cause but also if the EGR plate doesn't have a small hole in it to allow a certain amount of gas through it can throw up faults. Another thing worth trying is running a fuel treatment and intake cleaner through the engine to see if that sorts it out. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor

Hi Jimmy.....welcome to the Forum Not entirely sure what the differences between the different headlamps are but here is a link to some headlamps and also includes some aftermarket LED lamps. http://www.audiownersclub.com/parts-results/A4-S4-RS4/Headlight-Assemblies/44240 Let us know how you get on with it all Cheers Trevor
