Steve Q

I'd recommend getting the system checked asap but it could be suspension arms instead of a airbag etc. 

Could be the light switch itself. Id recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

Is it rs4 bumpers you want on a standard A4? If so they won't bolt straight on. 

There used to be and the if still used the supplying dealer van provide the access for this. 

Sorry to hear this. 

Have you tried changing the key fob battery?

HI, no problem, fully understand, we all have commitments, but it was Tony and I only, nobody else. We had good time, but it would have been a good opportunity to meet other members.

Good luck with the engine , sorry but can help with that 

Best

Peter

It is a shame no others came. My show buddy Jack has emigrated to Norway who'd normally join us with his TT

That is impressive. I'll still be sticking with diesel for now though. My wife's Jag gets 50-55mpg which isn't bad. 

I agree with Cliff, the crash is most likely the cause.

That's OK Steve, it was a good day, just a shame only Tony and I showed up from the Club 

Really sorry I couldn't make it. Work and Audi off the road played a part in that.

Steve and I enjoyed the show. But as Steve says only two of us made it.

Really sorry it was just you two. 

Did Trevor come? 

If I can get an engine for my A6 or someone who actually knows what they're doing then hoping to get to it next year. 

Really glad you got it sorted 🙂

Hi guys, unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make tomorrow due to last minute work commitments. Sorry for any inconvenience caused

Thank you all for the quick responses, I may have to scrap the car after I have a look at the valves. If they are ok does anyone know how to set the timing for new belts. 

 

 

Engine rebuild cost will be around £3.5k. Finding a second hand engine is the hard bit. I'm in the same boat trying to source an engine for mine. 

No probs. 

Thanks for the heads up Gareth 🙂

It wasn't me that swapped the door. But I'm guessing no they didn't. If they had just kept the barrel out of the original door I wouldn't have this issue, The car was a mess when I got it. I've had to repair all sorts. The central locking and the radio signal are the last things Ive got to fix. 

You could see if main dealer can order the correct barrel. There will be a number on it. 

Another option could be to change all locks by buying a used lock set off eBay and getting it coded. 

You could alternatively get a remap which does an adblue delete? Would cost around £300-500 I think

Yeah the door was changed but the ignition barrel to match is in the boot. My car would only need 2 barrels anyway, one for drivers door, one for ignition. There's no other places for my key to go. 

Did you swap the door module from the old door to the new door? As this might be part of the reason why central locking isn't working. 

Just my two penn'orth worth, the damage can depend on the type of 2.5tdi. For example the version in my A6 (aym) if the belt snaps the pistons stop before wrecking the valves etc. Whereas the more refined versions (180bhp) such as bau can wreck the valves etc. as yours is a late model allroad I suspect the latter will be the case. 

As cliff says the battery could be the cause of the electrical issues. As failing batteries throw up electrical gremlins.
