    New battery needed?

    Update from Audi Leicester, they are standing by what they have said and the battery is not covered under warranty. I have asked them to evidence how they can tell that the car has been standing and they cannot do that apparently. They now will not release the car till I pay them a £198...

    2.5 TDi Quattro Oil & Water Temp reading - Possible thermostat prob.

    Hi, I am after a favour from anyone who has the V6 2.5TDi to see what their oil and water temp are once the car has warmed up. I have a horrible feeling that the thermostat has gone but want to see what peoples oil temps are at to rule out the water temp sensor. I did some 'testing' tonight...
