    Audi S5 4.2 Radiator fans always on

    Air con on or off it doesn't matter. Its around the time the engine is upto temp (which it stays at). I am very confident this is not normal behavior. Anyone have any ideas where I should look to or what I should do to diagnose the issue? I have a couple vagcom cables but I only have a mac so I...

    Audi S5 4.2 Radiator fans always on

    It seems to come on round about the time the engine is at proper temperature and then doesn't go off. If i turn the car off and then on it stays on. No signs of leaks, coolant level all okay. When I get out of the car though, you can feel a general heat coming from it but this may just be...

    Xenon Bulb goes yellowish then goes off after 30 seconds

    Pedal slowly sinking to floor after replacing all pads

    Hi all as above, just replaced all pads front and rear but the pedal now slowly sinks to the floor when pressed while engine is running. When the engine is off it does not do this and I cannot see any fluid leaks on the floor or calliper anywhere. It's quite confusing :/. I took it out for a...

    Cowboy mechanics - PICS!

    Absolutely... While this new mechanic hasn't really done anything wrong he has inconvenienced me and I won't be returning to him for that very reason. Shame because he is a good mechanic too. I just don't have time for people that **** me over or waste my time.
