I've got a strange issue with the internal locking mechanism, which i'm hoping somebody can help with. So first of all the car will lock and unlock absolutely fine with the key fob, all bar the drivers side rear door. Any ideas why that is guys? If i reach around and unlock it from inside, it...

Received the reader last week, tried it at the weekend. I had problems with the cable they sent, it just wouldn't fit the obd port. So I messaged the seller, and they sent me out another cable to try. Just tried it out and it works great. The unit seems great so far, and the seller was really...

I've ended up going with this one http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=321555583383 I'll let you know what I think when it gets here.

There's a few that are relatively local. How does that work? Do they charge? Or is it a case of buying them a pint for a favour?

Any suggestions for a good vag fault code reader? I know VCDS is the best thing since hovis, but i don't have a laptop for the job. I've got the engine warning light on, and the ESP light keeps coming on...and staying on. I just want something to tell me what needs fixing. Thanks in advance...

Id go with these as well!

As the title says, which spark plugs would you all suggest for the 2.0T engine? I've read that copper ones may perform better, but not last as long. Anyone heard this before? Thanks in advance for any replies :icon_thumright:

Ahhh i see! No it didnt ask me that. Thanks for the advice :icon_thumright:

Every website i've entered my reg into has suggested 5w30??

Around 6,000 miles, and ill change it yearly. I've seen MANN filters pop up quite regularly during my google searches.

I've owned my car for nearly a year now, and time to give it a service. Which oil do you all suggest using? Im quite confused by the Audi spec numbers, the manual gives me 4 options?? Which oil and air filters brands do you use whilst im asking? Thanks in advance for any help :icon_thumright:

Sorted! You were absolutely right mate! Soldered the wire back together and its working great now! Thanks for the advice :icon_thumright:

Ok so I've just taken a look at the wiring loom between the car and drivers door. There's a red wire which the outer has split, the wire itself seems intact (as far as I can tell anyway). However there's a brown wire that's completely broken, I can't find the other end of it yet. Is this earth?

No water in the passenger side footwell that i can see or feel. Running out of light now, so i'll take another look tomorrow. At least i can lock the car manually for now.

Thanks for the reply. I should add that none of the electric window controls are working. Only just thought to try the individual door controls.
