Welcome to the forum Alex, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Black smoke could be caused by the dpf if the car has been used for town driving only. Also check to see if the car has an the emissions recall carried out. As various faults can occur after it's been done. the power steering fluid could be low but it could also be the pump that's on its way out. cheers Steve

Truthfully I'm not sure but surely the supplier will know when you come to buy the part? Cheers Steve

You're welcome Dan, glad we could help :)

Welcome to the forum Chris, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 sorry to hear of your problem. It isn't something as simple as a loose heatshield is it? we are certainly not an Audi haters club 😉

Result! Glad this is resolved Paul 🙂

Yep that oil will be fine 🙂 cheers Steve

Does the air con work properly? I ask because if the air con isn't working.dur to a failed compressor etc then the econ.light will stay on. This is the case for my a6 where the air con has failed due to a nacksred pump but.i don't see the point of sorting it currently. Cheers Steve

Ah ok, fair enough. And I'm not sure if.yiud.need to code the pump to the central locking system but I'm.sure you don't have to reprogram the keys. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Rob, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 forgive me, but.di.new Audi's bot come with.owners handbooks anymore?! I know the servicing documentation is all electronic but I didn't think Audi had done this to the owners manuals as well. cheers Steve

Hi Daniel, are you sure it's the pump? When I had a similar issue on my a6 it turned out to be the drivers door lock mechanism that was faulty. I had an auto electrician take a look and fix the problem for £120 🙂 cheers Steve

Thanks Jess 🙂 and welcome to the forum Daniel, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 cheers Steve

Loving the stance 🙂

I saw this and was just as !Removed! off. Wheeler dealers was only interesting because of Edd China! Can't wait for his new show!! 😀 The guy is a legend in my opinion 🙂

I agree with Piotr, come along to shows and you can get them free 🙂

Glad you got to the bottom of this Tom 🙂 lets hope there isn't anything serious with the fan. Cheers Steve

Nice one Paul, I'll put you down as paid 🙂

I agree it is a concern but I believe that a dealer has to tell you who the previous owner was. There's been a couple of cases recently whereby dealers have said the car is one previous owner which has been true but that owner was a high company etc and as the dealers had withheld this information the owners got compensation as it was classed as miss selling.

The wife and I like the zinfandel rose 🙂 but generally I'll drink any wine lol 😂

Exactly, it's a bit.odd they don't give you an option of no gazebo

It sounds electrical or a fan maybe? Has the battery drained at all?

Perfect Paul! Top work! Let's just hope we have good weather! 😉

Hi Stuart it sounds like you've been very lucky the other party has paid up without going through the insurers. I'd definitely put it on eBay and see what it makes but obviously be very clear about it's condition and damage etc Cheers Steve

Hi Gee, I'd take it to an auto electrician as I suspect the issue is electrical rather than the barrel itself. Or get a diagnostic check carried out to see what fault codes flag up. This can be do evat your local garage. Cheers Steve

If it we're mine I'd get a second opinion as I have suspicion that it could be something less serious. How do you know the noise is coming from the steering column? When does the noise occur? Cheers Steve

As of yet no, but I'll happily take suggestions for anyone who has been to the show before or knows the area 🙂 in failing that. I'll have a look on Google maps
