    Drain plug flood- HELP!!!!

    Sorry for not explaining myself clearly. I have been informed that the water got into the car via the plenum chamber beneath the battery due to blocked drain plugs. I have spoken to audi and although some Cars were recalled to have this problem fixed, mine was not one of the lucky ones. So...

    Drain plug flood- HELP!!!!

    The Garage that carried out the work did modify the drain Plugs (remove) however as it wasn't Audi themselves who carried out the work and they are stating it isn't a common failure there is little chance of any goodwill. But surely the plugs should be checked at each service as for water to...

    what oil do yous use

    Finally getting my Jabba work done this friday, so due to extra load of drive chain and internals is it worth changing the oil too? I am supposed to be on long life servicing. When i bought the car in early Dec the previous owner was doing about 20k a year and had a FSH from his local Audi...

    Thule rapid fit foot pack

    Sorry for the random questions: I have a roof box that fitted onto my wifes A2 with Thule foot pack 750 and bars (761). I need to put the box on my A4 avant with roof rails so i was hoping the feet will fit in the gutter as per the A2. This would stop me spending £60 on the 755's to fit the...

    1/4 Mile Times

    Wow how heavy are your A3's!:box: My old 172 Cup used to run low 14's at the Pod although that was nearly 200bhp/per tonne! Albeit not standard, usual NA bits and bobs done inc; higher lift billet cams inlet/exhaust manifolds matched decent SS exhaust and sports cat ITG panel with great CAF...

    temperature gauge

    We had so many problems with my wifes A2 when we bought that. Thank fully they were all sorted under warranty. The temp gauge was a baffling one all the same as they must have looked at it 4/5 times with no error codes coming on until i had the tech come out with me until it did it. They...

    REVO free software trial !

    I am a complete TDI virgin and never had a remap on one etc only car i have had was my old 172 cup to compliment some higher lifts cams and other goodies. It hardly set my hair alight, hence me being sceptical about a TDI map! I know NA dont tune as easily but i didnt realise i could try before...

    a2 airbag

    Had the same problem with my wifes A2 when she was expecting. If there is no key switch to deactivate the passenger air bag, you need either Audi to do it or maybe someone with VAGCOM system to electronically deactivate it. We left it on and have baby seats etc in rear seats. Hope that helps Mark

    My airbag warning light came on the other day so when i had my alt pulley change my mech friend hooked it up to his snap on diagnostics and it said something along the lines of 'drivers side airbag-igniting limit reached-intermittent' It was reset and the light stayed off for a day then ping its...
