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...

I thought it might be but its every single time I use the car and it goes off after only a few minutes of turning the car off.

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...

As above, my fan is always on but my temperature is fine so I'm a little confused.. Any ideas?

Hi all, As above my bulb went off while driving and got the error up on the dash telling me so, I switched them off and then back on again, it slowly went yellow and went off. The same happens if I repeat this process. Is this a dodgey bulb or ballast? I have the v8 S5 so how hard/easy is it...

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...

I supplied the timeing belt kit..

Just a quick update: I've received a quote for the damage and work that needs to be rectified and it now totals £404.16 including the bend wing damage. I'll be typing up some emails and formal documents etc to go down the legal route. It's sad that its come to this, the cost of the new repair...
