  1. That's a great result! Glad it's all sorted and glad we could help :) Cheers Steve
  2. Hello Barry, sorry this topic hasn't been responded to yet. The garage had a wise decision that it was the ballast control unit. However as this is not the fault I would look at 2 other options before replacing the headlight which is costly. One of them is to get a diagnostic check carried out to see if any fault codes flag up. My other suggestion would be to speak to an auto electrician as clearly the light is working by one form or another and could be a bad earth or loose wire. Sorry I can't help more. Cheers Steve

    AdBlu

    Sounds about right, I thought it was 1000 miles to be honest. Cheers Steve

  6. Welcome to the forum, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) If you want power definitely go for the 2.0tdi! I feel the 1.6 is under powered. My dad had one as a company car. Cheers Steve
  7. Very nice :)

    DSG?

    I'm glad the garage have agreed there's a fault so let's hope they can sort it. Could you not take it to your mechanic friend with regard to the emissions light. If you can find the fault then you can inform the garage you bought it off for them to fix it :)
  9. This us what we really need lol 😂

    AdBlu

    Hi Ben, Your Audi will tell you when the adblue is running low this should include how many miles left as a warning message. Never let it run out completely as you may find the car won't start! This will be because the car doesn't want to cause damage to itself or the environment when you've run out. Cheers Steve
  11. I should imagine you should have it. Especially when the supplier has said it should have come with it. Have they offered to fit one for you? And if not then it's definitely worth asking the question. It's very unusual to find any new car that doesn't gave USB and aux connectivity these days. Cheers Steve
  12. Welcome to the forum Ben, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Glad you're pleased with your stage 2 improvements :) Cheers Steve
  13. Welcome to the forum Michael, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) The first thing I'd advise is a diagnostic check to be carried out. But my key question do the windows work with their respective switches on the doors or have you just tried them off your drivers side control? Cheer Steve
  14. Lol perfect use for quattro right there! 😂
  15. Welcome to the forum Paul, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) The a4 allroad is a great car and you've gone for a good engine choice. Ideally the car your looking at should have full service history and by now the cambelt and water pump will due to be changed due to age if not mileage. It's worth checking to see if the car you're looking at has had the emissions recall. If it has and it's for sale shortly after this has been carried out then you have to question why. If it were me I'd avoid a VAG car that's for sale and has had the emissions recall carried out in the last 6 months just to be safe.heres a couple of threads which maybe useful: Also most allroads were automatics so make sure the gears change smoothly in auto and manual mode as faults can be expensive to fix. It's worth seeing when the gearbox oil was last changed. Obviously the allroad has Quattro and again it's worth making sure this is working as it should abd worth checking to see when the oil was last changed in this too. Quattro is a great system but can be sensitive to small changes that could cause damage. One example of this is mis-matched tyres on the same axle or uneven tyre wear. I've also found this YouTube video which maybe useful: Overall the allroad is a fantastic car and it'll be very useful for yku. Plus they have good resale values. Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve
  16. Not good! I'm going to a christening today where brioney and I are the god parents. However it doesn't look like it's going ahead as the minister can't get there and neither can the grandmother who has all the food for the party afterwards!
  17. Black wheels do go with a white car but if it were me I'd get it done professionally. Have you got any pics of the car and wheels in question? Cheers Steve
  18. Hi Mark, I would imagine no it can be retrofitting but I don't think it'll be cheap. I believe the phone box came with the tech pack. Here is a link to another thread on here that responded too. It may be useful. There's also this company I follow on Facebook which may be worth contacting. There work looks pretty good but can't say I've had any first hand experience of their work. https://www.facebook.com/Lightrofit/ Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve
  19. Welcome to the forum Steve, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) If you've tried various phones and it's not working then I'd think there's a fault with the car. Have you tried any other Android phone other than Samsung? I've found this YouTube video which may be useful. Sorry I can't help more. Cheers Steve
  20. Welcome to the forum Tom, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) It will make a difference to both bhp and torque, it may also improve your mpg. Your best bet is ask various tuners about the remap as they'll probably offer different levels of improvemebt to the bhp and torque. Cheers Steve
  21. We've had it too! Think it's worse this time!
  22. Welcome to the forum Craig, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I have to agree with cliff and say the poor dog is due to the induction kit in my opinion. Nice looking a3 by the way :) Cheers Steve

  24. Correct Paul :) Here's a new one :)
