  1. That could be an issue with suspension arms/arm bushes etc.
  2. Glad you got sorted and figured out what it was 🙂
  3. If bought within the last 30 days take it back to the dealer who should fix it free of charge. The 1.4 is know for fuel rail issues. Have you seen proof in the service history of gearbox oil changes? Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up?
  4. I'd recommend looking at buyers guides on YouTube. Check service history for proof of gearbox oil changes etc.
  5. You'll need the wiring harness for the buttons. My advice would be to take all the parts from donor/breaker car.
  6. I've had a look online but not found anything. Is there any information on the my Audi app?
  7. Are they diamond cut? If so it might be corrosion happening under the lacquer
  8. No way! Me too! They're reasonably priced. It's a while since I had a service has my a6 is off the road needing an engine. There's also vee dub near branstons.
  9. Are there any fault codes? Also could it be an issue with the maf sensor?
  10. Fingers crossed it stays fixed 🙂
  11. Glad you got sorted 🙂
  12. I think it's just a quirk of the car. If no fault codes, I wouldn't worry about it
  13. Have you asked chapmans Audi specialist in Wigston? I use AC motors in Syston for my Audi and other cars.
  14. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. As this is under Audi warranty I'd get it booked in asap.
  15. Have you had another diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up?
  16. The reason why I say it might have been remapped after egr blank is because if it was just blanked off the car would throw up engine management light etc.
  17. Service history is key. Ideally this should be full. Proof of cambelt and water pump changes should be clear otherwise you'll need to get it done. Make sure all electrical items work as some parts are hard to come by now. Make sure heater works consistently in power and temp from all vents as this could be a sign of a failing or blocked heater matrix. Check condition of interior as some interior plastics are no longer available and rare to find second hand. Check YouTube for buyers guides
  18. If the car has xenon headlights then it'll definitely have headlight washers as it's a legal requirement I believe. In theory once you activate the windscreen washers they should pop out to clean the headlights.
  19. I'd recommend getting a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up and go from there. What are they highlighting the issue is in the USA?
  20. Yep could be a Software issue. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Also you could do a reset on the infotainment system.
  21. Sorry to hear of your issue. You could get the imobiliser turned off on the instrument cluster. Have a look for instruments cluster repairs or imobiliser off to find companies locally that will do it for you. You could also get a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up
  22. It sounds like the egr had been blanked off which would make me think it's been remapped to delete the egr from the cars system. Could it be a cam sensor, crank sensor? Any issues with the engine temperature?
  23. Have a look at Celtic tuning website a s it'll show you the potential gains. Makes sure you use a reputable company that'll do the remap on a rolling road
  24. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. It's most likely thr motor that's failed.
