Hi Colin, sorry to hear you've had these issues. It's really annoying when businesses don't want to resolve issues. I trust you've managed to resolve the issue and improved all the bulbs now. Cheers Steve

You're welcome, glad we could help :)

Welcome to the forum Marius, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I too cannot help by offering you a connecting rod but would agree with Gareth on trying local scrap yards. Or your other option would be to contact local Audi specialists (not Audi uk/main dealers) to see if they have any discarded ones :) I use hm spares in Leicester. Might be worth you ringing them to see what they have. 0116 2666660. They are a friendly breakers yard and I've had various parts for various cars over the years. Sounds like you have a great project and wish you all the best with it :) Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Matthew, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Great looking a7 you have there! Great spec a d great wheels :) Cheers Steve

Hi Raz, I'm unsure on the part number but the technical term for that plastic trim is "door blade" or this is what it's called on my a6 and same for the a4 of the same era. If you buy.the part new, it'll come unpainted. Sorry I can't help more. Cheers Steve

Hello Sian, I think its a good idea to have the diagnostic check carried out by Audi to establish what fault codes flag up. I suspect Audi will say that the dpf or egr need replacing but obviously the dpf can be cleaned out. Audi may do some form of good will on the repair depending on the mileage of your a1. When you do go to Audi I would advise you take someone else with you (dad or brother?) So that they can't "mug you off". My other advice would be NOT to drive the car whilst it's in limp mode as this could do more damage to the engine. Please keep us posted on how you get on. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Darren, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I would suspect that you'll have some form of sub fitted. Obviously if you have either Bose or B&O sound systems then you'll certainly have one :) If one is fitted it'll be installed in the boot most probably in one of the side trims. Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Lee, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Great colour and interior combo :) Cheers Steve

Have to agree the TT (even in 1.8 form) is night and day better than the fiesta! Getting your dad to test drive is a good idea. One other key thing to consider is what spec you'd like? This may determine the availability of a particular engine. If that makes sense. You'd be more likely to get a nicer spec 2.0 than a 1.8 as a general rule, I'd say. Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve

Thankfully we've not had snow here, in the Midlands yet. Glad the a3 did well :)

Thanks Trevor and I'm definitely fortunate! If I hadn't have swerved, then the tree would have come through the windscreen or the roof! I'm hoping that most of the scratches will t-cut out to be honest.

Just to add, on.my way to work this morning I had a tree come down onto my car! Thankfully i managed to swerve but it caught the passenger side. But luckily it's only minor scratches! Could have been alot worse! And you'll all be pleased to know that this didn't happen to the a6, but to my daily.

We haven't got a slight wind here in the Midlands. It's gailforce!

Welcome to the forum Lee, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) The c5 a6 is a great car. Is there not a way you can find out if it's taxed, like you can in the UK? Also it might be worth you posting on the Audi c5 group and just Audi Avants (,I'm assuming yours was an avant) on Facebook. Cheers Steve

It sounds like they don't want to know! When was the roof cleaned and treated with water proof protection? Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Steve, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Obviously red oil can suggests it's low on oil (or maybe too much oil?) But if you know this not to be the case then I wonder if it is a sensor that has failed. Cheers Steve

Hmm, I'm unsure how to adjust the roof to be honest. I've looked online and YouTube but nothing is coming up that's useful. Have you taken it to a garage to be looked at?

Hi David, Mark is right on this one. Your a3 will need to have the satnav activated by Audi and Mark is right about the price! Truthfully I find modern smartphone satnavs far better than any normal satnav and they are updated regularly and for free! Sorry we can't help more. Cheers Steve
