Yr 2000 A3 1.6 sport wonโt start
Have you had the battery checked to make sure it's working properly? And is the key working as it should? Is it happening when the engine is cold or hot etc?

If there's no evidence of either being carried bout then I'd be doing this as a matter of course. Csmbelts need changing at 5 years or 120k which ever comes first.

Audi driver disqualified from latest Formula E race for using a sim racer
Audi Formula E driver Daniel Abt has been disqualified from the latest Formula E Race at Home Challenge race, stripped of his points total and handed a โฌ10,000 fine. Abt, who originally finished third in the fifth round of Formula E's sim racing series on Saturday at a virtual Berlin, was found to have let a professional esports racer control his virtual car for the race. After the race, which ran in partnership with Motorsport Games to raise funds for the UNICEF coronavirus relief fund, had ended Mercedes Formula E driver Stoffel Vandoorne accused Abt of not driving in the race. "Really not happy here because that was not Daniel driving the car himself, and he messed up everything. That was ridiculous," Vandoorne said on his Twitch stream. Formula E released a statement on Sunday that confirmed Abt had been disqualified from the race due to "sporting misconduct." Abt failed to score a single point in the first four rounds of the season, and his initial maiden virtual podium marked his first points of the season. He loses those points and he is forced to make a compulsory โฌ10,000 donation to a charity of his choice. Abt apologised for his actions in that same statement and admitted he didn't take the series as seriously as he should have. "I would like to apologise to Formula E, all of my fans, my team and my fellow drivers for having called in outside help during the race on Saturday," Abt said. "I did not take it as seriously as I should have. I am especially sorry about this because I know how much work has gone into this project on the part of the Formula E organisation. "I am aware that my offence has a bitter aftertaste, but it was never meant with any bad intention. "Of course, I accept my disqualification from the race." Lorenz Hoerzing an 18-year-old sim racer has been banned from entering any future Challenge rounds. Abt's disqualification means Audi sits at the bottom of the Race at Home Challenge points table - the only team with zero points.

VIN and registration number
Gareth is correct, the vehicle is allocated it's registration at the dealer. The first 2 letters of the registration indicate the county of registration. I found not of they would issue you a registration when the car isnt even in the country. Cheers Steve

A4 feeling wobbly when driving

Paint code identification
Its probably from the very expensive Audi paint pallet and unfortunately there's no way of finding out exact numbers. This is annoying as in America you can but this is not available in Europe I believe. You're local.body shop or Audi (when they reopen) will be able to give you the correct name for the paint.

I'd be getting this looked at by a garage that's open. As long as they use genuine Audi parts/oil and they're vat registered it won't void your warranty. Believe it or not too much oil can damage the engine. Cheers Steve

Give it ago. But my money's on the dpf being blocked. What kind of driving does the car do? Ideally it should get a good run in a motorway once a week to keep the dpf clear. Cheers Steve- Limp mode
Having a dog replaced will cost around ยฃ1000. If it's been attached to a code reader, what did the mechanic say? Cheers Steve- what you think about audi a7
The a7 is based on the a6 chassis and running gear. Here's a video which might help: Cheers Steve- Help Please
Hi there, the MAF sensor will definitely be near the airbox and will.look.like the pics attached. Cheers Steve- Audi A4 Avant 2016 S-line Quattro - Tow bar advice
