Steve Q

There could be a lambda sensor. Fitting the rubber mounts are fairly straightforward. It's joining all the exhaust sections together which can be the most complex to get a tight seal. Have you looked at powerflow exhausts? My brother and a friend used them and wre happy with the exhausts.

Glad it's all sorted and new engine is settled in nicely 🙂

That's 3 of us then. The meet point is: Tesco Esso Express Hythe Esso Express Beaulieu Rd SO45 4JH

I'd recommend looking on eBay.

Looks lovely. If you bought it from a dealer then the faults you've highlighted are their responsibility to repair FOC within the first 30 days.

They've been struggling to get certain kit. For example I know some q7 cars haven't been fitted with matrix headlights when they should have been fitted.

What's the spec difference? As your old one was clearly a higher spec.

You could wait, but current trends show that petrol and diesel cars are holding their values more than they used to as people don't want electric but they'll still depreciate a little. Plus once April comes the new reg comes out so it'll reduce in price then in theory.

Bentley manuals might do one but they're not cheap

The VIP event might have been a way to try and get older models sold in prep for the new model.

Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Might be worth speaking to retrofitters such as autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them in the past and they have been happy with the results. Might be able to activate them via vcds or obd11 etc.

First thing to check is the battery tray housing as the drains in the bottom of the tray can clog with foliage then water gets into the cabin via the bulkhead. Other locations could be water getting in via the boot seal near to wear the roof meets the boot.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

Keep us posted on how you get on

Very nice 🙂

Can't say I've ever heard of this before.

As Steve said it could need a software update. Worse case scenario a sensor, camera or module has got damaged.

Just checked eBay with no success. eBay would be your bet bet and it'll be case of waiting.

Yep egr and dpfs issues are common. A motorway run once a week can be good. How many miles did you do a year? And what kind of mileage? I'd it's mainly town driving then a petrol might be better.

That's a great result 😊

I think you buy a replacement SD card that contains the whole program

Looks a lovely car.

Gareth is right, I should have added that in my response.

The wiring breaking is a common occurrence, I'd recommend looking on eBay including international sellers. Alternatively you could try Audi heritage.
