a new compressor resolved this in the end. paid audi for a diagnostic on old compressor, output was not enough bar to lift the car. I went for areosus brand and had it shipped from Germany for 350. audi diagnostic was 250. car recovery both ways 75 each. approx 750 and nearly a month without...

amarsingh thanks for the quick response, do you know if the compressor type are they all the same for the allroad c7's? mine is a bitdi probably the same tho. and location is external at the rear of the car ? and did you replace the relay at the same time?

guys ever get to the bottom on this ? same thing has happened to my allroad c7 (2014) suspension warning followed by adaptive range control error immediately afterwards. drove home car was not noticeably sagging the next day cleared codes with odbeleven and the car has sunk to the tyres. once...

i used both mtec standard and mtec black drilled and grooved on my 2.5 tdi. the standard holes rusted quite quickly since they were not painted and didn't look great after a while as the pad dust gathered and stuck. so much so i changed after only a year. I went for the mtec black which were...

folks i just put 6 in mine (3.0 313 bitdi) and it is not fare off the full indicator. as you cant dip these to check the oil quality i like to keep it that way so i can see any increase like an injector leak!

Hi Folks I have a 2014 biTdi Allroad 313ps. I have changed the rear pads ok. But for the front caliper (I have the 2 piston caliper) my 10mm hex socket is too small and 11mm is too big to remove the slide pins! I have tried 10mm and 11mm alan keys too with the same result. I don't want to...

cheers good to know. I decided to buy one ... I contacted ZF and they sent me a pdf that says amongst other things: 'To meet these challenges partially synthetic oils have been developed for ZF 5, 6 and 8 speed transmissions which are maintenance free under normal operating conditions...

hi folks, thinking of upgrading to a high mileage 2014 bitdi model. covered 90k in 3.5 years. longlife serviced every 20k until 80k - checked out with audi - so i'll do a service if purchasing. tiptronic gearbox not serviced so far any apparent issues to look out for? i have heard some...

I used rsbodypanels2012 on ebay about 6months ago. Now I did wait about 3 weeks, but it was worth it. The wings were a super fit, I cannot fault them and colour too (mine are black) - they also came waxoiled on inside. Given the age of these cars these wings will still outlast the rear panels...

Search for Alex, of Avonmouth in Bristol. He's a polish guy that specialise's in these gearboxes. Audi Belfast were looking 3.5k to replace mine last September. I took the ferry over to Liverpool and drove to Bristol in October. Alex sorted the gearbox in a day. I only needed a new hydraluic...

Just an update on this one for anyone with similar probs. Took the plunge an drove the car over to Alex (the polish dude) in Bristol (the guy on ebay with good ratings) Glad I did. Within 5mins of driving the car Alex was able to tell me that the 2 drive shafts were on the way out hence the...

audi tech reports some play in the nearside drive shaft that Could be causing the vibration when driving harder and Possibly a gearbox mount. levels checked ok/no codes blah blah. they cant tell me anymore unless im willing to fork out 100 per hour for 2 hr diagnosis to remove look at and refit...

just an update on this one... had gear oil changed last week by audi. unfortunately the car now seems to be WORSE the car left the garage with a clean bill of health apart from worn wipers (only 3 mths old wipers!) tyres worn on inside and a suspension bush (that is only starting to wear !) i...
