    Had parking sensors fitted

    They look exactly like the Cobra A0358 I had fitted from Pro Park UK. The beeper was fitted beside the rear speaker from the boot. It was a straightforward install. I get false alarms sometimes, but that could be controlled with sensitivity adjustment which I don't know how to do.

    Traction Control Warning Light Coming On

    Could be a faulty brake switch. You won't know for sure until you get the fault log from a scan.

    Split pipe??

    Without seeing any pics my guess is that it is the PCV crankcase ventilation pipes aka 'Breather' pipes. This system allows the management of crankcase pressure. They are the black rubber pipes and they tend to crack and disintegrate from the engine heat. They also tend to cake up with oil and...

    Speaker wattage and positions?

    The speaker layout of the non Bose is the same as Bose. In fact the speakers are the same except for the sub woofer unit...Bose system has a better sub woofer. Even then the system does not have great control of Bass, its a bit loud and woolly...as opposed to tight and punchy.

    Speaker wattage and positions?

    I have the Symphony with Bose and really it is not a wonderful system...highly overrated (by Audi and Bose)...many other peole don't rate it that highly...and I agree. But don't get me wrong, it's not terrible either. Personally, I think the best option for you is to get a car with a standard...

    H&R springs or Eibachs?

    Eibach's million mile gaurantee just replaces the springs. You would still have to spend time/effort/money to take them out and put in the new ones.

    Maintenance help!!

    I agree with the above. You can't just pull the old fuel filter off and replace it, you'll spray lots of fuel around. Other tasks can be similarly dangerous. Go to a pro, or do lots of research first.

    Maintenance help!!

    If its a 5 door model, the fuel filter is under the car by the rear RHS door. If its 3 doors, just imagine it has 5 doors and look in the same place.

    couple of questions

    Yes, push start is the next thing to try. If it still does not start, then you really should take it to a mechanic. I think RAC offer a free tow to a nearby garage...or if you can find a mobile mechanic... By that time you will have tried a few things, so at least you will be in a (kind of)...

    couple of questions

    Engine should turn. Sounds like a faulty starter. Also, check all the electrical earth points in the engine bay.

    couple of questions

    The RAC person worked out the engine was seized because he got you to push the car. This is the same technique that is suggested in the posts above. Did the car move when you pushed it? Still its good you haven't taken his word for it. Get a couple of people to help you push, it may not budge...

    Found rust on your roof?

    I had my roof rust repaired under warranty last year (its a 2001 model). I now have problem call 'Zinc Inclusion' on the lower part of the doors. These look like small patches of rust bubbling up underneath the paint. Audi rejected this citing 'outside influence' and gave no further details...

    Glad you got that sorted. The cables come with disk with all the software and drivers you need. So did you get any trouble codes from the car?

    ebay vag com cable

    You need to give more information. I assume you have installed drivers and followed all instructions that came with the kit. You don't need the full latest version with the Ross Tech hardware if you just want to use the basic shareware features. Trouble is the 3rd party USB interfaces are...
