Cheers Steve!

You're welcome, sorry I couldn't advise any other alternatives.

Here's a new one, it's from an old film (2002).

It was a 1997 P Mk6 1.6 Zetec.  There wasn't much I didn't fix myself on it tbh.  Nothing some patience and a haynes manual couldn't handle 

Slightly newer than mine, but same engine :)

Correct Paul :)

Oh by far the Q7 is the better car! And that's not me being biassed (I've worked in the motor trade so I've driven all sorts). The interior is made of far better materials and the ride will be far better in the Q7 :) 

Hi Yong, I'd say it's definitely worth you speaking to the dealer where you bought the car from. How many miles have you covered in it since you bought it? 

Cheers

Steve

Yea I'm more for PlayStation to be honest

Any guesses? 

I'll start: 

Good 

1. my road trip to Belgium and France last year. As seen here: 

2. Attending all the shows last year and looking forward to.the ones this year! :) 

Bad

My car accident last September that nearly killed my a6. It kill the 2014 Volvo xc60 that ran into the back of me! 

Cheers

Dont think i could get away  with them, you would get some little !Removed! trying to force the bonnet open, was thinking of putting some sort of "drip tray" so the hot air can get out but the water is chaneled out ...  Thanks for the idea but dont think can use it :( 

Is the engine getting hotter than it should be? 

If so i wonder if it requires a new thermostat. Or if there is some other fault with the cooling system. 

Sorry my suggestion was no good. There are various vents available. Obviously you've got the universal ones but you could consider vents from another car entirely. 

Or you.could add extra vents/holes where the number plate sits. 

Cheers

What's better for you?

Welcome to the forum Andrew, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

Bet you can't wait to collect your Q7! :) What spec and engine is it?

Cheers

Steve

Hi Ryan, does it do it both in manual mode and auto modes, or just auto? 

Have you had a diagnostic check carried out at all? 

Cheers

Steve

Hi Karl, 

Vents are definitely an option but as you've highlighted, water ingress could be an issue. Plus the extra work involved in.curting the bonnet and measuring etc. 

One solution I've seen is bonnet spaces (also known as bonnet raisers). As you'll see in the pics it allows better cooling for the engine and obviously can be removed when you come to sell the car. 

You could also add extra ducting to the engine with plastic pipework. Similar to what you would get in an induction kit. If that makes sense. 

Hope I've helped :) 

Cheers

The best thing I'd recommend is replacing them with new items from Audi. 

Cheers

Steve

Hi Chris, the answer is unfortunately not. But if it's any consolation it's cheaper for us with older Audi's whereas owners with newer Audi's has to.pay alot more. 

Cheers

Hi Darren welcome to the forum, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

you'llbe able to patch it up for your son to get home but it will need fixing. 

Unfortunately the egr and dog.filters not long can be removed as they are being included in.the MOT as of May this year. 

By.the way I've hidden your other thread as it was a duplicate.

Cheers

Steve

Welcome to the forum Shez, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

I thought the 8v had the pop.up screen as standard? My dad had an se version which had it. If you are upgrading to another Audi radio then the steering wheel controls etc will.work, but if you.go for an aftermarket radio then they most likely won't work.

Cheers

Never played it Paul. Is that on PC?

I've had the joy of a head gasket going whilst under load going up a hill in my old Ford Escort.  Couldn't see anything but smoke in my mirrors, repaired it myself though 

What model/year of Ford escort was that Sean? I have a 1993 mk5b 1.6 zetec. 

That's the beauty of Ford's, you can just fix them yourself 😀
