Edit: just re-read your post, ignore me...

I said to them that I had heard flywheels were an issue on these cars and caused these kind of symptoms, they agreed with no quibble and got the work done. Audi Tonbridge if you were wondering, about 20 minutes from jct 4 of the M25, I rate them very highly. Mine never vibrated much when...

Parker's says the trade in for your car should be £13,761 or private sale £14,846 ETA: I've assumed your car is a sportback?

Mine is a manual and was very intermittent, not so noticeable through the rev range but particularly around tick-over to 1400 rpm.

I've got an 07 2.0TDi that just went through 70k last night. Apart from regular service items all it's ever needed has been tyres and an oil top up every now and then as well as the clutch/flywheel issue which was sorted under warranty. I'd say that at this sort of mileage, if the car has been...

Misano Red! It doesn't work on all the range but is perfect for the A3 IMO

Is it an engine out job? Mine's due any day now and I'm weighing up where to have it done. TIA Pete

I know you can order the part to swap the ashtray to a storage tray, but does anyone know the part number for the power socket that Dave posted a pic of?

I thought this was going to be a thread about Dodo Juice :ermm:

Sorry to go O/T but is that a picture of you in your signature Sarah? :hubbahubba:
