Bet you can't wait :)

You're probably right and I didn't think about it like that before (I know that sounds stupid!). Let's hope there's a good result from it :)

Couldn't agree more!! I'll look forward to seeing pics of your a5 :) When do you collect it? Cheers Steve

Agreed! I'm like you and notice all the little noises and scratches etc. The garage thinks I'm crazy sometimes but I've always been proven right. Just glad we can help :) Cheers Steve

Nice one Tom! It certainly sounds good! As I say you should come and display your a3 at the up and coming shows :) Cheers Steve

Please keep.us posted on how you get on :) I think when you've owned a car from new, I find you take a greater pride in it's condition. My a6 has been owned by my family from new and is impeccably maintained despite it being 16 years old. Cheers Steve

Audi's Motorsport boss Dieter Gass had admitted that the new aerodynamic regulations will disadvantage Audi in the up and coming 2018 season. This disadvantage is most likely help Audi's rivals Mercedes who lost out to Audi last year to Audi as Audi won both the teams and manufacturers titles last year. The new rules decrease the level of downforce by approximately 1/3. At least this will make the race season even more entertaining to watch!

Hmm well I'm wondering if a tyre is rubbing on the wheel arch liner or other component?

Audi has teamed up with the French company Global bioengergies to develop bio fuel which can be used in Audi petrol engines.the fuel comprises of 34% of fermented plants and produces far less co2 compared to fossil fuels. The added benefit of this fuel compared to.otger biofuels is that the car does not need to be modified so in.order to run on the fuel. Both companies have been testing the fuel in a petrol Audi A4 on a racetrack with good results.

Wow now I'm.not good with Brad Pitt films but I'll have a think. Is it an action film?

You raise a good point, I'm not sure on.the consumption rate but factors that'll affect it are: dpf regeneration, stop start, type of driving, temperature of the engine etc. Cheers Steve

Nice work Las, I'm sure members will definitely find this useful! :) Cheers Steve

Hi Jon, I'm wondering if the battery has to be coded to the car? Cheers Steve

Hmm, you have me stumped Paul!

Welcome to the forum Sam, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Sorry your post wasn't responded too. I had clearly missed it, so apologies for that. I think you've made a wise choice. The last few cars have come from main dealers and haven't had issues whereas the same can't be said from buying from independent garages. Usually the main dealers keep the best used cars. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Benjamin, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I would think it's mechanical rather than tyres. Is the noise within the cabin or coming from the engine bay? Have you noticed if the noise occurrs if you rev the car in neutral? Cheers Steve

That's good then, it's always good to combine the work to save trips to the dealer! :)

It could be, I know on the a6 c7 the auto boxes have been know to stop selecting gears if the oil hasn't been changed. Cheer Steve

I'm unsure what the numbers relate to but Id guess that Audi are number 23

Yea, please continue Gareth as I enjoy this thread :) I'd just missed this post! Sorry.

Welcome to the forum Mike, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I would suspect the adblue tank is smaller due to the q7 drivetrain. Cheers Steve

Nice one. I've bought some to try for the run to Southampton this weekend :) so fingers crossed it helps!
