Paint Mystery
Welcome to the forum David, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 I believe the paint is an Audi exclusive colour called pelican blue but is also known as kingfisher pearlesant Blue. I believe the paint code is LY5T. If your car comes with the original owners service book then a similar sticker to the one in the boot can be found in the inside of the front cover. Cheers Steve

Fitting door entry lights and wiring required
I doubt the plugs will be inside the door to be honest. Think you'll definitely need a harness. Cheers Steve

Turbo replacement
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

Q7 air suspension
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

Looking rear non folding leather seat
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

audi allroad a4 2013 2.0tdi
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

Do I Buy A Audi TT COUPE ?
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
