  1. Have a search of the forum, and the answer will be found there - many times over.
  2. Hello Mark, Possible reason why only 11.13volts at lock - ? High contact resistance - possibly due to cable fracture within flexible harness section twixt body and tailgate. This is always my first place to inspect for any such issues, before renewing anything. Issues usually manifest themselves during cold weather, when cables become less flexible. Regards, Gareth.
  3. The on-shaft/in hub speed sensor will surely be part of the whole assembly you show in the photo.
  4. So you obviously didn’t take it to a tyre retailer then. Recipe for disaster once you know even one is proving problematic. Since the thread has been resurrected after 4 years, it may be opportune to point out the benefit of slackening and re-torquing all the wheel nuts on a recently acquired vehicle, or if you have just had new tyres fitted.
  5. The hub is there, so the bearing must be there.
  6. Thanks Harry, So what price are you looking for ( as opposed to offers) to find it a good home?
  7. Welcome Ian, If you wander into the Parts Dept. of your local dealership, they should be able to consult the build record, find the code and order a spare one for you. Regards, Gareth.
  8. Welcome Harry, Well we have had some brief posts to date, but I’d put money on it that yours won’t be beaten at anytime! Just walk back to the previous bus stop, have a sit down and compile some suitable words which describe what you have, what it is like and want your goal is. Photos would be good/essential.
  9. Welcome Scott, Not really understanding the chaos bit. Just wander into your local dealer and their Parts Dept. should be able to identify it and order it for you. Regards, Gareth.
  10. Chris, Please don’t do a Post and Run on us - we’ve had more than a tank full of late! Can see you’ve returned to the forum but not corrected - if correcting it needs.
  11. Welcome Chris, Dealer sale and when was ‘just got’?
  12. Thanks Chris, The brake hose is attached to the caliper, which detaches from the strut, so I can’t see you having to detach any hoes. Make sure you take the weight off the caliper not to stress the hose.
  13. Wondered how you are getting on with this now Chris.
  14. Do you mean 1 owner from new Chris, as Autotrader states?
  15. Welcome Chris, Ketan hasn’t been on here since June 2024. It’s probably best to try sending him a PM. Please let us know how you get on. Regards, Gareth.
  16. This is a bit like pulling sore teeth Andrew. So you do have a handbook in the glove box then? I thought they had done away with them, but they are available to refer to on line. So you have referred to the glove box handbook, but it doesn’t mention anything at all about checking/ topping up engine oil. You learn something every day.
  17. Price please Richard - as opposed to offers?
  18. I have no doubt ‘they won’t rip you off’ price wise, but as you now know, there is an Audi price for an O.E. battery to Audi’s specification. Then there is the trusted local garage non-rip- off price, but we aren’t talking just price here, we are talking ‘quality’. It’s sounds like a ‘just leave it to them to choose’ situation, and that’s fine. I’m at a bit of a loss to think why you didn’t just take it to them in the first place, and not be too bothered with seeking advice on here - which has been comprehensive. Regards, Gareth.
  19. Hello Sean, You will need to send Den a PM, since he hasn’t been on the forum since the last post. Please let us know how you get on. Regards, Gareth.
  20. Yet another member failing to answer questions which will possibly result in the thread being eligible for closing off. Open ended threads are tending to predominate.
  21. Having joined and posted, Alex has chosen not to respond, despite return to the forum. It seems to be season for them.
  22. Yet another post-and-run member wasting everyone’s time. Posted a plea and has never returned.
  23. This is all rather vague to me Andrew. ‘Knurled part ( I am familiar with that) about 1 to two inches long’. Biffs difference between 1 inch and 2 inches. Have you checked the on- line handbook for clarification?
