Agh crap, you're right... I'll have to have a good look from all angles than and hope to find something. Cheers

Yeah definitely worth a look. Might jack the car up and see if I can spin the wheel and listen for any grinding noise. Cheers

Yeah I also get the ‘UFO’ noise on new flat roads but that’s coming from the tyres. I wonder if a failing haldex differential would make jet/turbine noise? Diff bearings? CV joints? Driveshaft? Any ideas? Cheers

Hey all, Lately I've been noticing some strange noise from what appears to be coming from the rear end. The noise sounds like a continuous faint jet engine/turbine but seem to be coming from the rear (I can still hear the turbo whistle as usual from the engine bay so that's not the cause) The...

Yeah I get the warning on the dash every time I put the gear in the reverse. The right one is definitely out but the left one is fine. Also I checked the rear fog light and it's working fine on both sides so it's definitely something to do with the reverse-right light. I also ran the quick OBD...

Hey all, My right reverse light went out the other day (LED light package with reverse and fog lights typical bulbs only); I got the the replacement bulb from Audi (H6W) and the replacement bulb isn't working (I also replaced the left bulb with the new one and that one is working without...

Hello all, I was wondering if our cars somehow hold more coolant in the system during very hot summer months when the car is off whereby the coolant level shows lower on the exp. tank or am I having a leak somewhere (again!??!)... I've had my thermostat replaced under warranty with the latest...

Hi guys, My front-right xenon dipped beam/high beam bulb died so I'm looking for a replacement. Does anyone know what is the original OEM bulb (part number and manufacturer, I believe it's Phillips?)? Also, do bulbs and part numbers vary across different markets (specifically Australia)? Also...

Hi guys, I suspect I've got a coolant leak again, I noticed the level go from usual mid to just below the min. I've had thermostat replaced (twice) under warranty before (2018 & 2019, second time apparently the seal wasn't installed properly) Does anyone know the OEM part numbers for revised...

Thanks guys, I appreciate :) I'm just a little wary to all the dodgy things dealerships do, I've been in the industry before (not Audi though) and seen so many unethical things...

Hi Guys, Recently I had new tyres fitted at the Audi dealership and during the process they damaged one of my rims with tyre mounting. As these are diamond cut (5-arm rotor design) I refused any kind of repair; they agreed to replace the rim with the new one. As the OEM are far more expensive...

Tire pressure is fine (I try to keep it on the lower end to cushion the potholes...it's non-mag ride so the ride is very hard as is). I think I might book it in for the alignment just to be sure...otherwise I might have to get use to EPS being vague. PS previously coming from BMWs and them...

Yeah I tried it in dynamic and it seems a little heavier on-centre but still feels lighter than it should :-/

Hi Guys, Recently I've noticed my steering feels very light on-center, as in, making very small corrections to stay straight in the lane, the steering feels like there is no resistance trying to turn it from one direction to other then it progressively gets heavier (as it should) as the turn is...

Thanks for your reply f1nny, that's impressive thinking outside the box. I've tried your method today and I think it seems to have improved slightly (I hope it's not just a placebo effect lol), it seems to have better road feedback as well...or it could be just in my mind. Since I have long legs...
