I’ve copied this from my post in the A7 area as there tends to be more response in here Hi All, I’ve moved to a 313ps BiTDi and it’s been nothing but trouble. a few weeks ago I had limp and got codes for DPF and turbo actuator. I had the DPF removed and mapped out. The car then only had...

Hi All, I’ve moved to a 313ps BiTDi and it’s been nothing but trouble. a few weeks ago I had limp and got codes for DPF and turbo actuator. I had the DPF removed and mapped out. The car then only had occasional, and short lived, limp episodes that would clear themselves. I got a new...

How odd. I’ve had several Subarus and have a convertible Astra, all pillarless, never a problem. This car has had very little use from new however so that could be related

Thanks for that. Carpets are fine, no sign of any leaks. I didn’t consider the pillarless doors as they’ve never been a problem on any other car I’ve owned with them. I’ll check the seals and give the Liqui-Moly a try. Thanks

Hi All, 2011 A7. The windows mist up all of the time. During a journey, if it is even slightly cooler outside, I have to regularly but the window demisters back on. I have the HVAC set to AUTO. Cabin filter was replaced a few weeks ago. Demisting takes longer than I would expect too. Is...

Hi All, 2006 3.0tdi CVT. I drove to the supermarket on Saturday and the car was fine. I came back out to the car and it wouldn't start. The dash lights come on and then nothing, it doesn't even try. I then get the "engage P or N to start" message on the dash. Naturally, it is in P. I removed...

Which is odd as I see evenwhen I'm not logged in

I did discuss this with B5NUT a long time ago but have completely forgotten what we discussed, and as it was in person don't have it on here. I have a 2006 Avant SE. The wings and bumper need replacing. I have bought this facelift bumper, but as you can see it is bare. I need to source the...

Hi All, I need to change or refurb the rear calipers on my 3.0tdi Avant. Does anyone know whether these are a straight fit? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F333488810450 I’m in the process of upgrading the fronts and these would be a good, cost...

Come on Lee, the whole point of coming on a forum and asking the hive mind for intervention is to avoid paying money to find out the answer, the answer that you have kindly provided. I probably should have come to you first in fairness. I can always rely on you to know the answer.

I’ve been a forum user for 20 years and an admin for most of that time. The good members are the ones that ask questions without making assumptions. I have every right to shoot you down because of the condescending tone of your post

I’ve read that first post at least 10 times and still can’t find the bit where I said that I was going to do it myself. Could you be a dear and point that out for me? I’m asking before I buy parts for my bodyshop. On many cars, it’s straightforward, mk5 Golf for example. The chrome window trim...

excellent, thanks for that

Thanks for the confirmation. I'd already ordered them but wanted to check that there was nothing else in play at the same time

The boot lid on my Avant doesn’t open smoothly and then sticks at the perfect height for me to bang my head. I have to push it up the rest of the way. I’m assuming that it is the struts failing. Is there likely to be anything else causing this?

Don't know the code I'm afraid. 1.9 130 with stock turbo

My reverse sensors have started acting up. I get the beep as I go in to reverse but then they don't sense anything. Can VAGCOM identify which one(s) has/have failed or do I just need to replace the lot? I assume it is likely to be the sensors rather than the wiring? I've done the whole 'stick...

How easy is it? I've found plenty of how-to's on removing the inner door trim, but can't find one for the outer door trim. I'm assuming it can't be too hard as plenty are for sale on the bay of e. Has anyone done it? Front drivers outer door skin is the one I'm interested in

I’ve had the backboxes deleted on mine. I used OEM style tailpipes
