    Colin. I have merged your two topics. It keeps things tidy.
  2. cliffcoggin
    Any update for us Ed?

    Even the Audi part is reputed to be unreliable so it's possible your new one is faulty, in which case it would be unwise to drive the car until it goes to a garage. However I think it is more likely to be a failing battery as Steve Q mentioned because of the stop/start fault. Let's hope the diagnosis shows something.

    It's a common fault in many Audi models.

    Was that damage within the rubber bellows between door and frame? If not, where was it?

    Reg. You have not said whether the window movement is random or erratic. Is it possible the windows actually need to move out of the way when the hood is raised and lowered?

    There seem to be a lot of unknown factors in this conversion Steve, any one of which could bring the project to a dead stop. It is not something I would have taken on even 40 years ago when I was willing and able to get my hands dirty, unless there was certainty about the result.

    Once again I can only hear broken audio so all I can suggest is to take the car back for diagnosis.

    Wasted advice I'm afraid Steve. Swansea has not been back to the forum since posting his question.

    "Death pipe" is the sort of term I expect from America where everything is exaggerated to make a minor problem seem major. For goodness sake, it's only a leaking coolant pipe. It happens on all cars.
  12. cliffcoggin
    No, the fob batteries will not cause that. It might be worth looking at the wires inside the rubber bellows between door and frame. Fracture of those wires is a common fault in other models.
  13. cliffcoggin
    I have never heard of this problem until reading of it here. If the failure is because the pipe is plastic maybe you should have one fabricated in rubber.

    Stop/start failure and unrelated electronic problems are typical of a failing battery. A new battery alone will not solve them unless it is coded to the car when fitted. You need to confirm whether that was done before looking for other causes for the faults.
  15. cliffcoggin
    Did you get the new battery coded to the car? It needs to be for full functionality.
  16. cliffcoggin
    Possibly it's the air con. My wife's Yeti purrs like a cat when the AC is running.

    Have you had the suspension checked for loose joints? It may be that the undercarriage is the source of the noise rather than the tyres?
  18. cliffcoggin
    Somewhere in one of the menus there should be an option to reset the standard or baseline setting. Don't ask me where as I don't know the A8.
  19. cliffcoggin
    Why not ask Audi?

    While I am sceptical of these fuel additives, I am open to persuasion by long term results. The treatment may solve a sticking pressure switch in the short term but I question if it can solve the more fundamental problem of the exhaust system being blocked by soot, which is what the DPF switch is telling you. If the treatment fails to work I understand it is possible to induce an exhaust regeneration with VCDS or similar equipment. Others here may be able to confirm this point.
  21. cliffcoggin
    Was it coded to the car? It needs to be.
  22. cliffcoggin
    I understand now. If the car has a rear facing camera or radar linked to the brakes than it makes sense to disable that system when towing. I assume, perhaps wrongly, that Audi would have planned for that possibility and that the electrical connections at the tow ball would automatically disable that function.

    Sorry Adam I won't sign up to anything to watch your video. My concern about the door was whether it was sagging because of worn hinges, which would be unusual on a 15 year old car, or the body had been twisted in a crash, which in turn might explain the cill damage on the other side. If you are satisfied the problem is merely worn hinges than all is well. I suggest you sort out the hinges before renewing the seals otherwise the new rubber will soon be damaged.

    Any news on this matter Brad?
  25. cliffcoggin
    What do you mean by emergency braking? ABS?
