Welcome Brian, How much oil are you adding every 5000kms? What mileage has the car done to date? Have you owned it from new, and has it always used the same quantity of oil? Kind regards, Gareth. p.s. Where is Ork?

Hello Nick, Handbooks cover all options, but the only way to establish what yours has and hasn’t got is to obtain a build record for it. A visit ( rather than e-mail) to your local dealers Parts Dept. might well come up with that if you talk nicely with them. Kind regards, Gareth. p.s. Take your V5 with you as proof of ownership in case needed.

Hello Angela, Do an Adblue search on here and you will find all the potential issues, but bad news travels fast.

Should have said -all marques - not just Audi. Hopefully you will get more specific dates on here when Audi started on all models then. .

You’ve just won shortest post of the decade prize Stephen! What do you expect to get out of that?

Hello Angela, I think that all post 2015 models are likely to have Adblue systems. What year are you looking at? Kind regards, Gareth.

Have a look on LLL Parts website Chris. This might reveal follower/no follower. Even if no follower, I’m surprised the arm hardness is greater than the cam lobe. Welding would be a no no. How would you machine it leave alone get it hardened? Kind regards, Gareth.

Welcome Chris, Odd! What mileage has it done incidentally? I don’t think anyone on here will be able to advise you on whether to spend on this or not, without being privy to your financial situation, and the overall condition of the car. If it’s a fix-it-to-sell-it situation, then why not try another fuel pump to see if that will pump under the current lobe wear? Kind regards, Gareth.

Welcome Ryan, When you say you replaced the fuel sender unit, are you meaning the in-tank fuel pump? If so, new ( what brand?) or secondhand?

Hello Angela, It looks like you are dismissing requests for an update on the previous question about your oil leak, yet in preference asking for advice on another matter. Regards, Gareth.

Hello Lee, Best to send the OP a PM, since he hasn’t been back to the forum for over a year. Kind regards, Gareth.

Thanks Barney. North Wales and $? Note:- I’ve altered the title wording in case anyone understandably confuses this with a well known bank.

Try Parts in Motion at Exeter. You will find them on EBay as well as their website. Perhaps you would let us know how prices compare with ECP. Any good reason for buying from ECP?

Many thanks Larry, I did notice a new set for much the same price, but in Germany - with c£15 postage - in case it would not be possible to find secondhand ones. Kind regards, Gareth.

Wondering whether you have an update for us Angela-? Kind regards, Gareth.

Coming back to us Dean?

Always worth inspecting the wiring in the flexible harness section between body and tailgate/boot. Wires are prone to fraction at this point. Perhaps you could let us know if that is the culprit or can be eliminated. Kind regards, Gareth.

Any of this any help to you Russell?

Could you give us the EBay listing number Larry please?

Try LLL Parts website Russell. Perhaps you could let us know how you get on. Kind regards, Gareth.

You can send a Personal Message the original poster Roni. Hopefully he will reply, and you can then let us know. Kind regards, Gareth.

Welcome Dean, and thanks for joining. Has this just happened, or have you only just bought the car? Sounds as if it may have had a new window winder mechanism fitted. Some of the cheap ones may give rise to this misalignment. Any garage or bodyshop should be able to look at this. Perhaps you could come back to us. Kind regards, Gareth. P

Welcome Edward. Any TT owners able to throw some light on this for Edward? Many thanks, Gareth.

Many thanks Angela, So the objective is not to continue using and enjoying the car with its oil leak (incidentally I cannot see any evidence of a stain in the photo I’m looking at), but to get this oil leak permanently eliminated. Is this correct - as an objective? As has been pointed out, the offending seal costs comparative peanuts, but the labour to renew it is going to cost you £1000s of pounds - if you can find anyone interested in actually doing it! Add to that, the likelihood that it will leak again within say a couple of years is relatively high - as again explained. I may be coming over as being pedantic ( but I’m otherwise struggling to help), but could you place a small container under the leak site and send us a photo of what you collect over a set period of standing time. It maybe significant, but I still don’t know. Saying it as I see it, you do seem hell bent on fixing this leak, rather than living with it in comparative slightly-inconvenienced harmony, and if you have many thousands of £s to throw at it, and can find someone who will agree with your logic on the economics, in appreciation that it is more likely to be a temporary fix, then who has right to contradict what you want to do? Who would buy it as it is? Really don’t know until, you quantify the extent of the leak. Sorry about this Angela but I think anyone trying to follow this thread is likely to be in the dark about how bad this leak really is. Kind regards, Gareth.

Thanks for the comments Daniel - technical and personal. I’m glad you now have it sorted, and sorry to hear advice on here has been fruitless. I take it you are therefore unlikely to return, so in case that’s right, I wish you luck with getting any future issues sorted. Kind regards, Gareth. p.s.
