Great day at Caffeine and Machine in Stratford upon Avon today. Some cracking Audi's, plus other cars as well as great food! Thinking we could have a club meet there at some point? They do car meets throughout the week. But you have to pre-book at weekends. All cars are welcome 🙂

DVLA are like that. To rectify it you'd have to to get a letter of conformity from Audi to send to DVLA to prove its a b9.

The best advice I'd give is measure the diameter of your current speaker and buy ones with the same diameter. I can't see much difference with 08 or 09 models but can't say 100%

Have you got pictures? B8 only ran to 2015 though. pic 1 B8 facelift. Pic 2 B9 you'll notice headlights and grill is different.

Very nice indeed!

I'd buy some aftermarket ones 👍

It's just a cap that covers the rear window washer. For example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133773697364?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Mb8IcF-URWC&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Are your carpets wet? Could water be getting into the electrics? On older Audi models it used to be common for water to get in, flood the footwell and thus fry the ECU or CCM.

Thanks for your thoughts and support Gareth and I do agree. When you look at AOC UK & club Audi who both get good turn outs for shows I just don't know where we're going wrong. Thank you, glad you appreciate my efforts, I do try.

Thank you for your reply 🙂 I feel the same. It frustrates me I go to the trouble to try and arrange events, promote them and try and encourage others to come and then get only a handful of cars. Numbers have definitely dwindled as some shows we'd have 10+ cars. Plus it's proving hard to encourage new members to come along.

I stand corrected. I thought coding was brought in after the introduction of start/stop (can't believe we've had that technology on main Street cars over over a decade!). So hadn't realised it was on earlier models.

BERLIN, April 22 (Reuters) - Europe's carmakers should wean themselves off fossil fuels from 2040, chief executive of Volkswagen's (VOWG_p.DE) Audi said on Friday, calling for quicker expansion of renewable energy capacity in Bavaria, where Audi is based, and elsewhere. Discussions around a possible embargo on Russian gas in light of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine have raised pressure on companies and governments to expand investment into renewable energy, with Mercedes-Benz (MBGn.DE) promising new investments in wind and solar to help power its plants. read more Let's be courageous as Europeans and take it upon ourselves to give up on fossil fuels completely from 2040," Markus Duessmann said at a conference. "We must put all our energy towards battery-electric vehicles for individual mobility." Audi will stop selling combustion engine cars from 2033. Its parent Volkswagen will do so from 2035 in Europe and later in China and the United States, it has said. read more Still, other carmakers like BMW have warned against focusing exclusively on producing electric vehicles too soon, with demand for combustion engines still high. read more Germany's coalition government has said it is targeting a coal phase-out ideally by 2030, and aims to fulfil all its electricity needs with supplies from renewable sources by 2035. read more https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/european-carmakers-should-wean-off-fossil-fuels-by-2040-audi-chief-says-2022-04-22/

You're welcome 🙂

I'd get a diagnostic check. Are there any engine management lights on? It could be MAF sensor, engine mounts?
-
Wow let's see some pics and price. What's its history?
-
You're most welcome 🙂
-
Or 22 inch (10 × 22 inch) ABT SPORT GR rims with matt black paint and diamond-turned surface
-
Or 22" Vossen cv3-r rims
-
What about 22" Vossen CVT rims.. https://www.tuningblog.eu/en/categories/cars-from-az/vossen-cvt-audi-a8-d5-221731/

You're welcome, glad Steve & I could help. Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Welcome to the forum Paul, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

You can call the AA or similar breakdown company who will come and plug a computer in to see if there are any fault codes. Could be a crank sensor maybe. How has the battery been tested?

This should help too: https://www.power-steering.co.uk/audi-a3-power-steering-problems-racks-and-pumps/ It looks like coding on the 8p was 2011 onwards. So in which case I'd be looking back to the rack for the issues. But here's some advice if it does need coding: "Provided the battery is the same type (AGM or EFB) and the same Ah capacity (within sensible variation e.g. 60Ag or 65Ah) then all you need to do is change the serial number, what you change it to doesn't matter - it just needs to be different. The usual advice is that it is enough just to change one digit." also this link might help: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/4112/

Yep but the engines are the same. All VAG do is change the body from Audi, Skoda, Vw etc.
