Regular servicing is good yes. As for number of owners, that never concerns me in the slightest. I have had loads of fast audis and other performance cars, the only car I have ever had more than 2 years was an RS6! I looked after them all the same.

How do I remove the panel behind the rear view mirror to replace/check my interior map lights that aren't working? I have no sunglasses older and as far as I can see no hidden screws holding it on, but I don't want to risk breaking it by prizing the panel off.

My A7 has suddenly developed a door locking issue. It seems to think my drivers door is open so won’t allow me to lock with remote. It can lock manually and nothing appears to be in way of door. Remote works fine for unlock and boot. VCDS scan shows no faults. Any ideas?

Happy to provide a log if you can advise me how, on either vcds (which I am told wont use UDP protocol?) or vag can pro.

Sorry, not VCDS related, but VAG CAN Pro. I think VCDS is limited in its functionality for adaptation. I have recently got myself an A7 BiTdi, Black edition. It's got a great spec, with HUD, adaptive cruise etc. However a couple of modules aren't working properly, I believe because its had a...

No seems fine. It's turning, but not firing. I have battery on charge now, I asked breakdown recovery to check that and he didn't as was convinced it was the fault code he found. Once fully charged I will have a better idea. Gutting thing is is I had sold it a few hours before on ebay!

Thanks I cleared the fault codes. Still wouldn't start. Battery running low now due to trying to turn over and not running. It strike me as odd that the fault code he found, presumabley on a generic reader, doesn't ome up on vcds. I guess I ought to charge battery?

My 2.7Tdi won't start - been running fine then suddenly wouldnt turn over. Breakdown came out and said fault code was: P2011 - Intake manifold air control actuator/solenoid, Bank 2 open circuit. He cleared code but wouldn't start. I got VCDS on there and I get the following: 005716 - Please...

50 mile motorway, reasonable traffic, with some town driving either side. Never get in teens really unless I am constantly ragging it.

So it's a 4.2 V8 with an AMD remap running over 350BHP, and look what it can do: Done a few thousand miles now and regularly manage 30-34mpg on a run, amazed at the fuel consumption. Significantly better than my old E39 M5, M3, Scooby etc - in fact it's as good as my Focus ST2!!! To think...

Thanks for the advice - I went over with my leads and did as you suggested and its sorted. Surprised the battery pack didn't have that much power, but there you go...

My mum has an A8 that she doesn't use much. It has ended up with the battery going completely flat. Her key stuck in the ignition, but I managed to get it out with the little button thing. I have tried to jump start it with my powerpack attached to the battery but I am having no luck at all -...

I have a 2004 S4 with integrated I-Pod controller, so it has the i-pod type lead within the glovebox that plugs straight into the bottom of the I-pod. I don't have an i-pod so use the wife's - this drives her mad so she got me an MP3 player for my birthday today!! Problem is, it's a Zen one, so...

Aixro rotary kart, 50+bhp, 85kg, 60 in sub 3 seconds, 2" off the ground, yeah more fun

Job done, easy enough. Managed to get 9 litres of oil in. Audi cost for fixed oil and filter service - £180. My cost £52, an hour and I have taken a lot more care I dare say. Anyone know how to reset the service interval without vag.com?
