    Help needed - Replacement Turbo or EGR?

    No sadly I didn't purchase from a dealer, I just bought the Audi Extended Warranty separately (on the day I purchased the car). Something I always do when buying used now, after having to foot a few heavy bills in the past.

    Help needed - Replacement Turbo or EGR?

    They wont replace the turbo until they can be 100% sure it is the turbo. Thats the issue. They won't approve a repair until they have enough evidence to say the fault 100% lies with that item. Currently they are debating if its the turbo or EGR. Only about 4 months, why'd you ask?

    Help needed - Replacement Turbo or EGR?

    I think they already did this as they pulled up the entire Audi UK record for my car (all the services, cambelt+pump, the odd MOT it had with Audi) etc. They didn't mention anything, but it seems to be a new issue as it wasn't like it when I bought the car.

    Its an Audi warranty, it's the Extended Warranty (what Audi offer you when your new/used car warranty runs out), and is provided by the same people who provide new Audis and approved used Audis warranty...

    Help needed - Replacement Turbo or EGR?

    Little bump as still scratching my head on this one. After talking to the chap in service who dealt with me (seems to be very helpful), he basically explained its a 5 hour job on their books to strip the car down and get the turbo and egr off and on a bench to examine. Then 4-5 hours to put it...

    Help needed - Replacement Turbo or EGR?

    Hi all, To keep the story short, my 2011 S3 has started making a rather loud whistling noise only under acceleration (boost), which got to the point I was concerned and booked it into my local Audi dealer. I have Audi Extended warranty "comprehensive" cover (we all know its not). So the dealer...

    DRLs as welcome lights (Like BMW)

    Hi All, I have tried searching but feel either I am searching the wrong thing or this just isn't in demand. Has anyone been able to code their DRLs to come on when unlocking the car? I read this might be automatically enabled for cars with auto-lights, but it certainly isn't on mine (I have...

    Audi price match

    I would go to Audi personally if you intend to keep the car/already own it out right. Some people are so picky when buying, and by selling a car with Full Audi SH, you may have a greater audience :)

    Audi price match

    How on earth can they justify charging more for a car if its in warranty? Surely the service items and methods to replacing are exactly the same? Sounds like a con to me!!!

    Audi price match

    Also, under EU laws, Audi cannot stipulate where your car is serviced when dealing with warranty claims etc, as long as it has been serviced using genuine parts at a VAT registered garage, so it really shouldn't matter if you have warranty or not :thumbs up:

    Audi price match

    What difference does warranty make? I have done this with my car which is under the "Audi Extended Warranty" and they just priced matched halfords auto centre.

    Q5 This don't like right after remap

    When I had my S3 mapped back to stock, and then back to stage 1, both times it said it was empty when the tank was full. Not sure why this happens but its not an issue, it went back to normal after 5 mins :)

    20” Rotors terrible in snow

    As above, you need to turn T/C off for it to half useful - I forgot that not everyone thinks to do this so didn't mention it lol

    My Pilot Sport 4's worked a dream on mine last week, we had 6 inches of snow too. S3 with 18" rotors and DSG.

    gfb dv+ question

    I don't think this is a maintenance item, I think the just recommend it to ensure that whilst its settling in and getting used for the first time, its nice and smooth and lubed up. Shouldn't be needed again I wouldn't of thought.
