    no interior lights or boot space light.

    Guys, Had a towbar fitted to my car last week and have just noticed that i no longer have any interior lights (the ones above the windscreen) and the light in the boot no longer comes on either. I am guessing they are on the same circuit. I have looked on the fuse panel and cant see a fuse...

    No air out of windscreen vent

    Hey guys, I recently purchased this car and tried to de-mist the windscreen but there is no air coming out the vent. I sense a flap is frozen shut somewhere as all the other vents are fine. Where do I need to look please?

    RNS-D GPS Antenna connector

    Yup an easy fix... a GPS aerial with a magnetic base for £9 from ebay and 10 min to fit it inside the top of the dash. Job done easy peasy

    brake light switch throwing up ESP light - hard to replace?

    Just ordered the switch from Audi at a cost of £10 and the service manager advised it takes about 30 minutes or so to do... so not too sure where the high cost they quoted me actually comes from... :think: Thanks to James for the guide....

    brake light switch throwing up ESP light - hard to replace?

    Chaps just been quoted £145 by the main Stealer for swapping out the brake light switch (the one on the brake pedal) surely it cant be THAT hard to replace. Is it that expensive because half the dash has to come out or something? I've not even looked at it yet - just wondering

    RNS-D GPS Antenna connector

    Folks, Can anyone advise if my old TomTom external GPS aerial would connect to my RNS-D NavPlus system? The TomTom item has a small round connector as seen on quite a lot of the ebay items... I know the RNS-E is different but I dont have one of those. I dont want to pull the dash apart only to...

    constant small Fluctuation in revs

    Just back from the Audi healthcheck. No issues other than a twisted dipstick and an observation that as the car is 9 years old the gearbox oil should be changed (even though its only done 21,000 miles). So I have booked this in as a damage preventative measure. Comments on the idle fluctuation...

    2002 Navigation plus - never on right road

    Thanks Craig - is there a fix or is it better to install a standalone aerial inside the dash. Perhaps you wouldnt mind recommending any aerials as I see you are in this kind of industry :thumbsup:. I would be happy with a PM if adverstising is frowned upon in this forum

    2002 Navigation plus - never on right road

    Thanks. Does anyone know where the original aerial is so that I take a look at the connections etc first?

    constant small Fluctuation in revs

    When warm (never when cold) the rev counter shows a fluctuation of about 100 revs about once every 2 seconds when driving betweeen 1000 and 2000 revs. It doesnt do this when idling but you can just about feel it when driving - its like the car having a pulse. There are no warning lights and no...
