Stanford Hall
Right, I've had a diary clash and now can't attend as my brother wants me to help him at Japfest. His Suzuki swift is on display as part of the swift owners club at silverstone. He had already bought me tickets without me realising it. Sorry all. I tell you now, you'll have a great time at Stanford Hall. I was looking forward to seeing the displays from the Mexican and Brazilian beetle register and the type 3 and 4 club. Cheers Steve Cheers Steve

New first time Audi owner
Right, I've gone through my service history. I had both front passenger side hinges replaced in May 2017. Part cost: Upper hinge £13.98 Lower hinge £71.06 I can't really give you an exact price for labour as I had a brake fluid change at the same time. But I'd guess around £100. I'd also expect the hinges to cost roughly the same too. So by my reconning it'll be around £200 to replace the door hinges. This work was done at a local garage NOT Audi. Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve

Audi Concert radio!! wtf is this!
Hi Becky, I think your TT will just have Bluetooth for phone calls not for music I'm afraid. Obviously you'll have an aux and possibly USB port as well. Sorry I can't help more. Cheers Steve

Audi A4 b7 oil pressure warning and over flwing water bottle
Welcome to the forum Ricardo, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Just out of curiosity when was a4 last serviced? As it may need an oil change and oil flush. This would be my first choice and what I did with my a6 when I had low oil pressure. The oil change and oil flush solved this issue. I'm unsure on the water bottle issue. Sorry. Also we would love to see your a4 in sunny South Africa :) you'd be more than welcome to share any pictures in our Audi's from around the world section :) Cheers Steve :)

Audi a4 fsi ecu change etc
Welcome to the forum Alastair, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) What issues has your a4 been experiencing? I'm assuming you've had a diagnostic check carried out to establish fault codes. The parts you've bought should fit easily but you may need the ecu coding to your car. Cheers Steve

Engine oil
Hi Gary 5w 30 is correct. Here is the info on Audi's website: https://www.audi.co.uk/owners-area/servicing-maintenance-mot/audi-oil.html Audi recommend Castrol edge professional long life 3. When my dad had a 1.6tdi a3 8v he found it used quite alot of oil too. Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve

wheel centre caps
Glad I could help :) I did look on eBay but had no luck. If you have one center cap then you could give him.the part number. If you don't have any center caps, then you could give him the allot wheel part number which I'm sure will help when he is looking at connected parts. If that makes sense. Usually the wheel part number is stamped into the back of the wheel.on one of the spokes. Cheers Steve :)

S3 8V adaptive headlight issues !
Hi Callum, sorry to hear your having issues. I can't say I've seen it previously on here. I'm assuming you've taken your a3 to Audi? It'll be interesting to see what the tests come back with. But if Audi do say that you need a new headlight (this is the worst case scenario) then I would argue there should be some factory good will applied as the headlights should not need replacing on a 64 plate. Unless your a3 has previously been involved in an accident and not repaired properly. (Again I'm just seeing the worst case scenario). The adaptive lights are controlled by motors I believe and these can seize or fail, I'm sure. Cheers Steve

Can't lock car - Advice needed
Welcome to the forum Wayne, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Id say the fault is linked with the drivers door barrel. On some Audi's the locking system is controlled by the drivers door locking mechanism and if this fails it can cause the central locking to not work properly. I had a similar issue on my a6 where ,the drivers door locking mechanism started to fail and the car wouldn't unlock properly. I had to have an auto electrician replace the drivers door locking mechanism which cost me around £120. Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve

Steering Locks
Welcome to the forum Glenn, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) A disk lock will fit the steering wheel and aren't too expensive. I'd also recommend a Faraday pouch to help prevent a potential thief getting hold of the car key signal (I'm assuming your Audi is keyless). Very cheap on eBay. I've also hidden your other thread as it's a duplicate. Cheers :) Steve
