    Hi. Just need a little advice reference these. Recently fitted a pair of 8mm Hubcentric spacers to the rear of my Audi A4 3.0tdi Quattro. With this size of spacer the OEM wheel does not actually sit on the hub spigot. Do I need to purchase spigot rings, if so what will work? I have looked at...

    DPF Problems again!!

    Audi carried out a bit of investigation work whilst changing the water pump. The technicial suggests the car may have been re-mapped as he explained he hadn't ever driven one that has gone quite so well before. He said this could be the cause of dpf faults popping up as the result of the map....

    DPF Problems again!!

    I am well aware of the procedures for carrying out a correct regeneration. My explanation suggests it may not be the common usual dpf problems. I can't see how the dpf would also cause sudden hesitation then drop into limp mode, which it does on a occasion! Its all well and good saying yeah lets...

    DPF Problems again!!

    I hear what your saying about removing it. I like the fact the car runs so clean though and your don't get the black smoke. I spoke to BVR yesterday and they were of the opinion that the 3.0tdi should'nt be an issue with DPF problems. I've run the car this morning..tried to get it to regen. I...

Despite my best efforts doing the right things as instructed I can't get it to go out. I've been have problems with the car for over a year now. The main dealers can't seem to fix...

    Water pump 3.0tdi

    I've got a quote for the water pump. Four twenty for Stafford Audi to do it. They were pretty good today. They did a fairly in depth diagnosis of all the faults, fitted a new fuel filter and I had a chat with the technician as I had explained that no-one previous seemed to know how to fix the...

    Water pump 3.0tdi

    I'll let you know how I get on today. One thing I will say is that when I booked the car in yesterday they asked me if I could complete a survey to help with the diagnosis. I was happy to do this and also explained the other problems in detail, so they said they would send me two surveys...

    3.0 TDI Strange noise

    Just picked up on this thread. Mine has always done this since owning the car. I read somwhere it wasn't a grave concern and it was common. Should I be concerned after owning the car for over two years and its now covered 128 thousand?

    Water pump 3.0tdi

    I will do.....to be quite honest I'm fed up with the car at the moment. Unresloved problems with the fuel gauge, occasional hesitation then goes into limp mode, and now the smell of anti-freeze on start up and a puddle of water under the car. I think my main irritation is me travelling the...

No faults identified for the lift pump on the paperwork. Nver know how mush fuel is in it as the needle is...

    Fuel Gauge Audi 3.0tdi

Since the car was returned the fuel gauge is no longer accurate. It wont read full when the car has...

    2006 2.0 TDI cabriolet very unstable and floaty

    If its started since you've had new tyres fitted then that could be the cause! Have you changed the brand of tyre fitted? New tyres can make a massive difference! Always remember years ago that only Goodyear Eagle F1's were recommended on MGF's. They could be very difficult to drive on anything...

    Got my S line Bumper Delivered :)

    If it goes on hassle free let me know. I bought an S-line bumper to replace the SE type bumper on my S-line Cabriolet. Apparently its a straight swap! It was a complete nightmare to fit in the end and still isn't a hundred percent around the front wings!

    2006 A4 Cab Rear top roof cover closing slowly????

    Sounds like the brushes in the motor. I've have the same problem with mine. Haven't got round to cleaning the motor yet so the rear panel is still out in the boot and a rubber mallet is used when it sticks!
