  1. Think it depends on the gearbox. My advice would be to let a garage change it as you need full access from underneath.
  2. I'd say remap and sports exhaust 👍
  3. Welcome to the forum Nigel, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Hope you're pleased with your a4 🙂 Cheers Steve
  4. I believe the reverse lights issue is down to the reverse light switch located on the gearbox. When it fails it can cause the lights to come on. Wipers could be a stalk issue.
  5. You're welcome, How odd. Definitely not something nto do with the radio settings?
  6. Have you tried getting someone to push down on the roof to see if it'll then lock into place whilst it's closing.
  7. You're welcome 🙂
  8. This link might help: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/audi-a4-stereo-wiring.23923/
  9. Petrol definitely makes sense living in London abd the 1.8 is a good engine. If the model year you've given me I'm guessing your after a b8 model. Here's a YouTube video buyers guide which should help: Service history is very important with these cars and you'll need to see when the cambelt and water pump was last changed. Also see how the clutch feels. As both of these are expensive jobs. Also make sure the air con works as it too can be expensive to fix. Cheers Steve
  10. Welcome to the forum Clive, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Cheers Steve
  11. Welcome to the forum, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 What year roughly are you looking for band are you looking for petrol or diesel? Manual or automatic? Cheers Steve
  12. Yea they'll be fully aware. My advice would be to try and look on eBay for one but as it's such a new car you might struggle to find a used one. I wonder if the jack is just for the q5 or if they fit it to other Audi's. Definitely worth asking direct 4x4 but if they're fitting them then youll be fully covered. You could Hask them what the fitting process is. Cheers Steve
  13. You're welcome 🙂

  15. Hi Peter, that price is obscene. I wonder could you not get the new Audi jack designed for sidesteps when getting the direct 4x4 ones? Can't see them affecting the air suspension in anyway to be honest. But you should bask direct 4x4 to be on the safe side. Bare in mind you have to declare sidesteps to insurance companies bad a modification now. Cheers Steve
  16. Think you'd have to get one with the same part number. I suspect any good auto electrician could code it for you. Glad you've sorted nthe leak. Cheers Steve
  17. You've done well to drive this for over a year without issue. I wonder if the locking mechanism has failed on the passenger side. I'd be getting bit liked at by a garage asap as youll be putting extra strain on the driverside clamp. Cheers Steve
  18. That's interesting, first Q7 I've heard of the issue. I'd be getting it to Audi in my opinion. Cheers Steve
  19. I'd replace it with a good second hand one as I suspect a new one will be a fortune from Audi. Obviously make sure the water issues have Ben resolved too. Cheers Steve
  20. You're welcome 🙂 what did you make of the article? Cheers Steve
  21. Welcome to the forum Peter, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Nice vehicle history and current vehicle line up. Bet the mx5 is great for this hot weather 👍 Cheers Steve
  22. I'd be trying a second hand unit before buying a new one as I'm sure Audi wouldn't diagnose it incorrectly.
  23. I think it's clipped in if I remember correctly. Bit you have to be careful when removing it as the clips can get broken easily.
  24. Yea I'd get it to a garage to get a diagnostic check carried out.
