Yea, I've just read that the parts aren't arriving until June! Not good really.

Hi Radek, I've had a look on line and YouTube but have had no success finding a guide to remove the column. My advice would be to get a Bentley workshop guide for the c6. They're expensive workshop manuals but seem good. Cheers Steve

Hi Jim, I believe the c7 is being recalled as the pump has a risk of fire if it becomes blocked or has a short circuit. Here's the link to the NHTSA: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=18V229#recalls370 From the sources I've read the necessary replacement parts aren't available until June so the letter you've received is to inform you. You'll get another nletter to let you know when the part is available and for you to book your car in for the recall. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Dan, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) There's not much you can do with the first problem I'm affraid other than keep adjusting the seat and wheel settings to get the best position. In terms of the second problem it could be a gear linkage but I would just be guessing. My advice would be to speak to the garage where you bought the a3 and for them to have a look. My dad had an 8v 6 speed manual and I never recall of him or I having this issue when we drove it. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Ian, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) There are only 3 possiblities here: 1. Bulb blown and you require a new one. 2. Loose wire which has stopped it from working 3. The light unit has failed. My advice would be to check the bulb first and I'd that's working then try and trace the wiring. However I have had a light unit fail on my a6 before. Cheers Steve

Usually you'll find the dealers aren't even told the info. But I do feel they should tell you and if they don't I wonder whether you can reject the cars. Cheers Steve

Yet another Audi owned by Princess Diana has come up for sale. The green Audi convertible failed to sell last year at auction despite being valued between £60,000-£80,000 and is now for sale at £62,000. This is alot more expensive compared to another Audi convertible I need by the princess which sold recently for £24,000. Here's the link for more info: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5677977/amp/Princess-Dianas-convertible-Audi-auctioned-cut-price-62-000.html Cheers Steve

Oo ok, well I can't say I've heard of this before. 400 is a big number and all I can think is that they've found that batch of cars contaminated by a faulty component or similar. Have they said if all the Audi's are the same model/engine and gearbox?

Risk

You're welcome :) Ah good point and I'm guessing it's fairly a standard a3 with no options selected by you. I'd suspect 2 months approx. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Marc, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) What does it say in the build tracker? Usually it can be a couple of months but certain extras can delay the build such as sunroofs or special paint. Cheers Steve

It could be as simple as the ship not arriving yet. We have some of the busiest ports in the world and I wouldn't be surprised if the ship has been delayed. Cheers Steve

You're welcome :)

Glad I have :) 29k is 10k off Audi's recommend oil change interval. So it'll be interesting to see what they say. It's many moons ago now (over ten years in fact!) But I remember the original audi TT had an issue with the dsg box (sister box is to s tronic) whereby a metal fork would break inside the box resulting in certain gears not being able to be selected. This was also highlightsed on wheeler dealers Audi TT episode. Also the TT was one of the first, if not the first vag car to have the dsg gearbox but obviously the dsg/s tronic box has been improved in that time. Cheers Steve

Junior

Lol that's a good point! I'm normally rubbish bwith actors. I'll remember the face but can't remember where I've seen them!

You're welcome, hope I've helped :) What mileage is the rs4 on now? It's certainly a lovely 40th birthday present :) Cheers Steve
