    BiTDi woes

    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...

    BiTDi troubles

    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...

    Constant window misting

    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

    Constant window misting

    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

    Constant window misting

    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...

    CVT issue - car won't start

    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...

    Front bumper help. What have I got?

    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...

    Fitting S3 rear callipers

    Hi All, I need to change or refurb the rear calipers on my 3.0tdi Avant.

    Replacing outer door skin

    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.

    Replacing outer door skin

    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

    Replacing outer door skin

    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...

    Avant boot lid sticks

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