  1. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 looks a lovely car. 👍
  2. As I say I'd recommend you contact the motoring ombudsman. If you can I'd recommend you try and get it assessed by at least one other Audi dealer that's not under the same franchise as tour current one. Or alternatively an independent ev specialist
  3. Brembo and ebc do I believe and well trusted.
  4. This all depends on spec, engine, gearbox, service history, condition, colour etc. Please post some pics and we'll help where we can 🙂
  5. How old is the battery? I'd definitely look ok at getting this changed if it's more than 5-7 years old. I'd also recommend speaking to an auto electrican
  6. Now that's cool. Never seen the work being done before.
  7. I find the aftermarket ones that are tailored to the car can be just as good.

    Q2

    No probs at all, I find car buying is always a difficult process. Regarding cazoo and similar sites I think they offer to bring the car to you. However I did hear stories of them selling crash damaged cars from a trusted source. I'd always recommend looking at main dealer. When ever I compared them to private companies such as available car etc they were often no cheaper than main dealer prices. Looks a nice car, but recommend you compare it to those offered by main dealer.
  10. Thanks Kev, it's got engine trouble though.
  11. If it's sos fault it could be an issue with the switch. But I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up
  12. Was the battery changed after it died? As a failing battery can cause various electrical issues
  13. I'd say save and get the right parts. I know how it feels wanting it finished. I'm starting to prep for my rebuild but itl take me a while as I'm not wanting to compromise on quality.
  14. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch. Hope you're pleased with your new purchase. Here's a link if how to turn off the Q5 speed alert. I'm sharing this as the process should be the same to turn it on: https://www.vehiclehistory.com/questions/how-to-turn-off-speed-limit-exceeded-audi-q5-373420 You can purchase OBD11, VCDS for example for coding. But you'll need the advanced version.
  15. I wonder if one of these is it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113939227191?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=a5rFmG2JSgm&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134568036912?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=mHShiJT5Ts2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Q2

    It features like that you'll need to decide whether you want them or will get a benefit from them. I think partly the reason I suspect is because the q2 was pulled from production quite quickly. I don't think it was as popular was Audi would have liked.
  17. nice project 👍 Would it not be worth fitting wider wheels rather than spacers?
  18. Is it smoking on start up? I ask as mine was (before I blew it up) and I had a suspicion it was the injector seals that had failed. No fault codes and she ran fine.
  19. Hi Dan unfortunately not. Audi will want £600ish to do it. You could speak to a retrofitter like autologics or Audi retrofits but I suspect it'll be around the same price.
  20. I think so, it's done pretty well. And it'll live again 🙂
  21. It is major. Crank gone, turbo gone etc. So full rebuild time. It has covered 344k, so full overhaul is due to be fair. Should then last another 300k hopefully

    Q2

    You're most welcome. I'd recommend you drive both to see which you prefer. What spec are you looking at for both models? S line spec is the nicest. And best equipped. If technology is important to you then tech pack is worth considering as it's an extra and the cockpit feature is also an extra (assuming it was available on the A3).
  23. I guess it depends how handy you are with the spanners. As I personally would always leave it to a professional. Have you done a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up
