  1. Welcome to the forum Tony, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Im assuming it's the 2.0tdi engine. Two ways. First is to remove the exhaust and then take the turbo out between the subframe and the body. Or you can take it off from above. Here's the workshop manual to remove it: https://workshop-manuals.com/audi/a3_mk2/power_unit/4-cylinder_tdi_unit_injector_engine_(2.0_ltr._4-valve)_mechanics/exhaust_turbocharger_g-charger/turbocharger_and_charge_air_cooling_vehicles_with_engine_codes_azv_bkd/removing_and_installing_turbocharger/ It's step by step and hope it helps 🙂 Cheers Steve
  2. Hi Chris air suspension faults can be caused by a number of factors: Faulty compressor or leak in the system but I doubt it's this if the rear is at normal height. Unless the compressor is making any unusual/loud humming or hissing noises I can't imagine it's that. Faulty airbag or fault with level sensors. I've also read that a faulty fuse can cause the system to drop half the car like in your case. The orange 40amp fuse is located under the passenger seat. Definitely worth checking that first 👍 If it's not the fuse then my advice would be to do a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up. Cheers Steve
  3. I'd say eBay is your best bet. I guessing bits a saloon? Theres a breaker selling a boot trim from a fixed seat model. Here's the link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131718836341 Might be worth messaging them to see. If they have the rest bench. Sorry I can't help more. But ill keep an eye out for you. Cheers Steve
  4. Think the rear is slightly darker. Have you got anything close up pics?
  5. Lol, same method as mine. It is a nightmare of a job! You'll be glad once it's done though 👍
  6. Welcome to the forum, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 😊 I've watched the video but struggling to here the exact noise your referring to. But I am aware that the 2.0tdi engine on b9 a4 can get louder when the vehicle dpf is doing a Regen. What kind of driving do you do mainly for your commute to work? Also if the cambelt has slipped a tooth then this could cause a rattle and louder noise. Obviously the cure is a new cambelt and cams realigned if it is that. The car I suspect is still under warranty and as such I'd get it into a dealer. Cheers Steve

  8. Hey Aaron, that TT looks lovely. Service history is very important. with the age/mileage it's worth checking to see when the cambelt abd water pump was last changed. If it has the dsg gearbox check to see when the oil was last changed. If it's Quattro check that the tyres have even wear and ideally the same manufacturers as uneven wearing tyres can affect the quattro system. Here's a buyer's guide which might be useful: Cheers Steve
  9. I agree Clarkson is wrong even though I'll admit the e39 5 series is a very good car. That's brill, glad you sorted it 👍 lovely looking interior those cream seats look nice 🙂 love the end of your reg 🙂 Definitely would be great to have another a6 c5 on our club displays 👍 Regards Steve

  11. Sorry they've been vague. I'm not sure who it was as I wasn't at the NEC unfortunately as I wasn't there. Sorry I can't help you more. Cheers Steve
  12. Hello Steven, so sorry for your situation. You could also try making a post on just Audi avants Facebook page and other respective Facebook pages. I'll also keep an eye out for you on the various pages. Cheers Steve
  13. Hi Billy, yes they should be suitable for a trickle charger 🙂 Cheers Steve
  14. Nice one. We're hoping to attend Audi's in the park in August. Got a good number no if us so far. Have a look under the national events section 🙂 Cheers Steve
  15. Thank you 😊 it has been well cared for. Has been to Europe and all across the UK. Yea it's a lovely colour 😊 nice engine. I'm sure that's the model Jeremy Clarkson reviewed when the car was first released. I'll find the YouTube video for you 🙂 Yea the radio should fit ok. Brill, look forward to seeing more pics You should think about attending some of the shows with your a6. Usually I'm the only a6 c5 there on our club displays. Regards Steve
  16. It's worth asking your local dealer. You might ha e one or two free maybe? 🙂
