Can anyone help please?

Hi all I recently had a new clutch and flywheel changed on my 57 plate Audi A3 1.8TFSI. Just days after having the works done I noticed noises coming from under the bonnet. When depressing the clutch I get a squeaking noise, this noise only happens when the car is warm and has been driven for...

I know, maybe I should start walking everywhere! I’ve done some reading online and some people say if it gets written off a second time, they’ll pay out but it means the car cannot be bought back no matter how light the damage as it’s been written off more than once. Not sure how true this is!

Hi all As above, my CAT N car has been crashed into again. Yes again :expressionless: 3 months after someone crashed into it and wrote it off someone else has just crashed into it as it was parked. As it has already been written off and classed as a CAT N, how does it work with claiming on...

Thank you for the replies everyone! That’s a good idea, I’ll see what money they offer for it first and if it’s no where near market value, I’ll tell them I’ll get it repaired at my own garage. If I do get it repaired at my own garage and pay the costs up front, will the insurance company...

Thanks for the reply! It’s a nice car, quite a rare spec too so this isn’t ideal. His insurance and the police have tried to make contact with him multiple times and he isn’t responding, so I’m just going to go through insurance and hope I get a decent price for it (providing they write it...

Hi all As title says, some numpty has crashed into my car while it was parked. I have 3 witnesses and pictures of him at the scene after he hit me, so just waiting for him to admit liability (happened 7 days ago and he is yet to admit fault...) Anyway, onto my question. I have attached...

Wow thank you for all the help and responses everyone! I’ll post an update to let you know how I got on!

Hi all I am looking to service my car, this will be the first time I have ever serviced my own car so I am looking for some help as to what the key things to change are. I have listed a few things below that I am currently aware of: - Oil, air, fuel and pollen filters. - Spark plugs, oil...

Everything seems to be fine and as it was before the crankcase unit change. The only difference is that the engine light has gone out and I’m losing oil very quickly!! You’re right, probably best to take it to a garage because as you say oil costs rack up quickly. I’ve put in about 1.5 litres...

I’ve checked the oil level via the dipstick and it’s definitely low on oil... Weirdly though, after checking it and putting the dipstick back in the oil light went out? It has came back on since though. I can’t see any leaks around the crankcase unit - very confused!

I’ll check for this when I’m home - thank you for the suggestion!

Thank you for the reply! Yeah I’ve triple checked everything I’ve done and it all seems ok? The new crankcase breather unit came with a gasket so I used that one. I’m very confused... My engine light came on so I took it to the garage for them to diagnose, they advised the crankcase unit has...

Hi all I recently changed my PCV crankcase breather unit as my engine light was on. Since the replacement I seem to be losing oil very quickly? My oil light first came on a few weeks ago. As I hadn’t topped up in a year I thought nothing of it and just topped it up. It is worth noting that I...
