    A3 tdi (BLS) Revving without applying any throttle?

    Thanks for your input mate. I removed the throttle pedal assembly & stripped it down as far as I could but nothing obvious was found. I do still have a suspicion it is faulty. It's going to be one of those nasty on-going hunts for clues.

The symptoms are particularly noticeable in 1st & 2nd but can also happen in higher gears. As you're about to change up a gear the engine revs...

    Is this a known issue? Oil level.

    That's exactly what I do mate. Thanks to the particularly generous luggage bay up front there's loads of space for spare oil & such. I think the original concern I had was the car had barely done more than 2-300 miles since the main dealer oil change (which cost a fortune) I just don't think...

    Is this a known issue? Oil level.

    Thanks for your input mate. The issue has long since failed to reoccur which is more than welcome news. One thing I did discover was upon checking the oil level on the dipstick after the car had been stationary for over a week, it really did read low. I guess I topped up with two thirds of a...

    Audi r8 service history question

    Absolutely mate, that's exactly it. Wait for some minor component to fail then destroy the unsuspecting customer with a repair bill bigger than 'Ben Hurr' I take real insult by these dealership policies. I would never treat my customers with such disdain. Unlike some companies I truly value the...

    Audi r8 service history question

    Howdo guys. I achieved my dream of ownership earlier this year. 08 V8 Manual with 21k. (I'll add at this point I'm a garage owner/mechanic) The emphasis on Audi fsh was highlighted prior to purchasing but in hindsight my opinion on this has changed, here's why. An oil change was due so I booked...
