it's going to a small place in Ayr that our family have used for a few years now - John Blackwood is the owner. can't think what the name of the garage is!

thanks for the advice again guys. It's booked into a different garage now to take a look a the ABS (it's still doing the warning thing). on the economy front I was managing to get an average of around 30mpg up to about 32mpg max out of it. i guess it's not woefully bad but i've got a 110mile...

you might be on to something there! who could blame them though - its a hell of a lot more fun to drive than my new A3 never mind his old jag xtype. mind you... quattros aren'tt exactly economical cars are they which is why i've gone for the boring option now. i'm a bit happier now that...

cheers aragorn i'll try and get a vag com then. didn't realise they were so cheap!

well some good news - the exhaust was blowing from just behind the flexi pipe and its now fixed. phew. garage didn't have access to a vag com unit unfortunately so still not sure what the ABS light is on for... is it likely that its just because the car has been sitting for a while? and if...

i've taken it to a local garage tonight for some diagnostics and asked the mechanic not to do anything until i've given him the go ahead on the cost front. fingers crossed.

thanks for the quick reply - i hadn't thought about the flexi section - I took a look around the engine bay after i got home but its hard to see where its coming from. pretty sure it's an ABS warning - it had the (!) symbol on the DIS and also the ABS light came on too. it went off again a...

hi guys - looking for a bit of advice here. I took delivery of a new A3 8P Sportback (S Line in white - yup i'm a fashion victim) at the beginning of Dec (company car) and decided to hold off selling my A4 Quattro Sport until the new year (hoping the credit crunch would have improved a bit...

I have it too on my 2000 TQ sport! wow - didn't realise the anti-corrosion warranty would last so long!

Just stumbled upon this kit online and what a price!!!! http://www.xs-power.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=37&products_id=223 has anyone tried this or similar? I had a XS Power stainless tubular exhaust manifold on my MR2 and that was a great piece of kit - hopefully this is too!

thanks guys! much appreciated.

hi folks, i've got a 2000 (W-Reg) 1.8T Quattro Sport and need to replace all 4 of the tyres as they are pretty low. It has the standard 17" multispoke wheels on it at the moment fitted with Kumho 225/40/17 tyres. this size seems quite uncommon and i'm having trouble tracking down a decent...

....... and I am the lucky new owner! :cool: hi folks - i'm Scott and this will be my first Audi, although i've always loved German cars - had 3 BMW's previously. I recently sold my beloved MR2 GT as my fiance and I have just bought a house and can't really justify having two 2 seater cars...
