    Q7 2009/10 Q7 Engines?

    Hi All, Due to the arrival of child number 4 I’m looking to trade in my A6 for a Q7 3.0 TDI S-Line. Most likely a 2009-2011 model. I note that there was a facelift in 2009 and also an improved engine with better fuel consumption. What I’m not clear on is whether the two go hand in hand? I.e. If...

    911 Cabriolet listed as Coupe!?

    Thanks guys. Yes I have used insurance sites which is how I first noticed it was wrong. My Dad had asked the seller and he just said it must be that the DVLA have it wrong. It has full Porsche service history (allegedly) so a good suggestion to check with them. Thanks.

    911 Cabriolet listed as Coupe!?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion but yes I have. That doesn't tell you the model but all other details match up, it only tells you date registered, colour etc.

    911 Cabriolet listed as Coupe!?

    Hi guys, My Dad is looking to buy an 03 plate 911 Cabriolet and has found one that he's put down a deposit on at a local independent place. I've been doing some checks on it (he's too trusting) and on several insurance sites and on a history check the car comes back as a 911 Carrera Coupe but...

    Missing plastic behind "grill" on S-Line

    Thanks for the further replies. I'm talking about the plastic behind the black "grills" circled on this pic ... ... on my 2.0 TDI the left (drivers side) has a black backing and on the right (passenger side) it doesn't, it's just grey.

    ECON on permanently and leaking engine

    Thanks for the reply Simon. Haven't figured out exactly where the leak is coming from yet, but it's dripping from the middle of the engine bay towards the back.

    ECON on permanently and leaking engine

    Hi All, In the last couple of days the ECON light on my B6 A4 (2001) has come on and refused to be turned off and I've also noticed a small leak from the engine bay. Seems to be a colourless liquid dripping very slowly. I'm assuming the 2 are connected and it's something wtihin the air con...

    Karting for kids in South East?

    Thanks mate. I do like Buckmore, it's just the fact that it's only 30mins of racing that puts me off, especially given the distance to get there from my place. Cheers Mike

    Front wipers

    Had mine in the garage today. Apparently the linkage had seized and had they had to strip it down and replace it. Cost me £190!! :( To top it off, the exhaust on the other car (Golf) started blowing on the way home form work to collect the A4 ... so that'll be another expensive fix next week...

    Front wipers

    How strange. Just logged on to ask the exact same question as mine have just done the same thing. Assumed it was the motor. Tried WD40, which helped a little but now they've all but died. Hot weather probably isn't helping. Any ideas on expected cost at a garage to fix? Cheers. Mike

    Variable revs when idle !?!?!

    Hi all, Hoping you helpful chaps can ... err ... help! :) Recently my 2001 A4 2.0 petrol has been experiencing varying revs when idle. The rev counter sways between 9k - 12k RPM when stationary with my left foot on the clutch, or in neutral, and my right foot nowhere near the throttle. The...

    Hi all, The engine management light came on the other day and stayed on, but with no symptoms - car is driving as normal. Took it into a local VAG independent specialist today to get it checked. They plugged it in to do some diagnostics, but could not establish a connection with the engine...

    Engine Management Light on but no symptoms??

    Hi all, Last week, whilst driving home from work, the engine management light flicked on, and stayed on, yet there's no obvious symptoms that anything is wrong. Car is as per signature with 93k on the clock, had a full service 2 months ago at 90k. Any ideas as to what could have caused...

    Portable Sat Nav

    Hey Navman, How are you finding the Go 520? Just about to purchase the 720 myself. Have read good reviews, although there seems to be a few reliability problems with the bluetooth functionality. Be interested in what you think of it. For anyone else looking, this is a great site for...
