  1. Is anyone interested in going to Das GTI at Santa Pod tis year? Sunday 29th September 2024 at Santa Pod Raceway Car Show With Run What Ya Brung on Saturday 28th September 2024 A German car show at Santa Pod for Audi, BMW, Mercedes, VW, Porsche and more. With German or VAG only RWYB plus Show & Shine Competition, Das Autotest and more. German engineering takes over for “Das GTI Show”. German car manufacturers are extremely popular on the roads in the UK; whether you’re looking for an efficient hatchback, high performance monster or touch of class, the chances are you’ve at least thought about buying a German machine before. The modern line of performance vehicles makes them popular on the drag strip too with the likes of the BMW M series, Audi RS series, VW R and GTI series or even Mercedes AMG series all capable of recording some mightily impressive ¼ mile times. Then we have Porsche whose name speaks for itself in the automotive world! We can’t wait to see which one of these marque heavy weights ends up on top of the pile at the end of the weekend. Camping available onsite so come for the weekend. https://santapod.co.uk/das-gti-show.php

  3. Wowzers! That's very expensive. Fingers crossed the second hand unit works 🤞
  4. I'd definitely recommend a second opinion on this. Alternatively contact Audi customer services
  5. I think if the cars a keeper then you've gone for a great spec 🙂 especially if it'll be rare.
  6. Think replacing the antenna is your first port of call. You could do a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up
  7. Battery suggestion was me 😉 you've taught me well Gareth🙂
  8. Fair doos, the Merc sounds nice!
  9. Most of you will know my saga. I'm now looking for a used or reconditioned 2.5tdi engine with bau engine code. Reconditioned preferable but appreciate its like rocking horse poo. Alternatively a low mileage engine which must have proof of service history. Breakers and sellers on eBay seem to think that service history doesn't matter. As they'll tell you the mileage of an engine without providing proof. Or proof of its maintenance. I've trawled eBay, and Facebook groups with no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated 👍 🙂
  10. Not sure if they're connected. I guess one way to check if it's not working properly is doing a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up.
  11. I agree with the above. Don't forget to include international sellers when using eBay. I know how hard it is though looking for parts for older audis.
  12. You're welcome glad I could help and glad it'll love to fight another day 🙂 Gel free to bring it along to the shows on our club displays.
  13. I agree with Gareth it should lock.
  14. Yea my colleague bought hee new it was a 2016 model.
  15. I'd expect 40s unless just town driving and short trips.
  16. I'm not sure but I'd get this into a garage to be checked asap if it were mine.
  17. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. When was the auto box last serviced?
  18. That's odd. If within 30 days take it back to the supplying dealer to sort as this should be done FOC
  19. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Very nice, sure you'll enjoy it in summer, if we get any!
  20. How old is the battery? If the battery is starting to fail it can throw up various electrical issues.
