    I'm desparate!MOT emission failed,could anyone tell me what these figures suggest

    Had same problem with MOT. Have VCDS if you want to check for fault codes and I'm in Surrey if that helps. Mine turned out to be a small hole in the post cat lambda sensor. Exhaust paste worked to get through MOT before a replacement cat arrived.

    Audi Multimedia with RNS-E

    I have the earlier RNS-E installed in my S3 8L and would like to get the Audi multimedia kit working with this earlier version of Canbus. Is there a workaround available?
