    Covid 19 and car sitting idle

    Nice one ST200 , thanks. I usually have mine connected to my 51 year old mgb gt. Interesting that you had it connected with the car locked . That has given me confidence to use it on mine and our VW Up runaround.

    Covid 19 and car sitting idle

    I know small issue in the current crisis. I cannot justify using my S3 as local supermarket is 7 mins walk away. I have been thinking of starting it every couple of weeks and sitting at fast idle till oil is up to temp. What do you all think ?

    Haldex pump filter

    And Audi do not clean the filter! What is the point of a filter left dirty. Very odd.

    Dealer issue - Haldex / rear differential

    I am sorry to here that. Leaves a bad taste with Audi Was your indie friend a Audi approved independent? If he is there may be still some recourse.

    Dealer issue - Haldex / rear differential

    Maybe worth investing in a Dekra survey and inform both Audi and the indie that is what you are doing. Think also worth involving the indie . They may be insured against this type of issue. If fault cannot be proven there should be a compromise between all parties.

    1.5 TFSI Engine Software Update

    I understood they did have the 1 4 in the US but maybe not in Audi , it could be VW as I think I got it from the VW forum.

    1.5 TFSI Engine Software Update

    She rejected and returned it and got a free upgrade to another new Troc , that was delivered a week later. This engine is ok , but still has the Roo.

    1.5 TFSI Engine Software Update

    With the problem coming up to 2 years old , I personally do not think there is a real fix. They are messing around with software to mask the problem . Do not be surprised to see this engine disappear and be replaced with something different. Remember they have not launched it in the US for fear...

    S3 Twitchy at high speed

    I guess it is part of the pcp culture. The original owner doesn't care, and the second owner is out of warranty. I really like my S3 , it is now 4 years old and 25 k miles . Have a 5 year warranty, but as low mileage and now have a great indy to look after it , thinking of waiting till new A3...

    1.5 TFSI Engine Software Update

    Ok I see there is a 2.0 miller cycle ea888 engine. So your question is a good one. Maybe the extra power , different turbo . Clearly 18 months and not resolved there has to be a reason. Software fix seems like a band aid.

    1.5 TFSI Engine Software Update

    Is the A4 the 1.5 ? Apparently the dsg still has it , but masks the the symptoms. As far as I see on the forums they are not fixing the problem. There are currently 10 fixes and apparently dependant on engine/ chasis number. That seems to indicate they have been trying different solutions at...
