Error/warning message on the dash stating 'right dipped headlight/main beam headlight. Got out the car. Confirmed right one was dead (passenger side still working). When I got back home I plugged in the OBD and read the fault codes. Ended up clearing them all and going to bed. In the morning...

Called up my local dealer for timing belt only (water pump not necessary). £817.27. That's not happening. Any recommendations for independents in the North East?

Long story short. I've got my routine pretty dialled in for the moment, but looking to try a few new products which are on sale at the moment. Just nabbed some Sonax BSD for around £6. Been wanting to try it out. There is a choice between two QD's. Poorboys QD+ Chemical Guys Speed Wipe Both...

Fronts need replacing but the rears are at 4mm (still factory fitted tyres). I was intending moving both front wheels to the back and then taking it to get new rubber, so the new boots would be on the rear. However. I’ve been reading on a different site that this can cause issues with the tyre...

Not sure what's going on but the car was recently in the dealers and the replaced the oil and filter (for an unrelated issue). I wouldn't have thought this issue is related to the oil change but since having the car back, when pulling away from a stand still, the car jerks forward (almost as if...

1.4 TFSI with 23K miles on the clock and the premium has almost doubled??? Shocking! My 4th year of extended warranty cost £345 (all component, under 15k milage, £0 excess). This is due to expire in May. I just went on the website and did a quote for the 5th (and final year) like for like came...

I've done a bit of googling but cannot find much in the way of a solution. When on the navigation screen (with no destination inputted) the roads are highlighted in various colours (red = A Roads / minor roads = yellow / small streets = white). Does anyone know how to turn this off? I've gone...

For the past 5 months the Engine Management Light has made numerous appearances on my dashboard. First the LAMBA sensor was replaced. Couple of months later, the injectors were replaced in December. Then a short while after that, a new charcoal canister fitted. Roll on mid January and the EMC...

Fronts are getting changed this week (23k off the factory fitted Conti's). However the rears still has 4.5mm, so still a few thousand in them. Did a bit of reading last night about it and there seems to be a huge debate on whether you should move the old rears to the front and put the new/best...

Noticed some damage and residue of red paint on my nearside bumper tonight. Only driven the car twice since cleaning it so that significantly narrows down the time of the accident. Dash cam footage shows a red car parked next to me at the gym (right under the CCTV) as well. My camera only...

Does anyone here have an OBDeleven that I could use to make one tweak, in exchange for beer tokens? I've got carista but it doesn't have the specific option I'm after. I don't use android either so purchasing OBDeleven isn't really an option.

Need some help chaps. Been hearing an annoying rotational noise coming from the rear offside wheel so took it into Audi and they sent me an AudiCam video. Car was up on the ramp and the technician span the wheel with his hand and it stopped at the same point on every turn. The diagnosis from...

Morning People These are great little devices. The app is simple and you get one month free subscription for the pro version (which is when you can make any mods), after that just use it as a simple code reader/reset tool. I paid £31 for it a month or two ago. Now on Amazon for £9.99

Has anyone else noticed that Google Earth has gone? All I saw on the settings screen was this: (SIM has data so no issue's there and no updates have been done on my MMI)

Not very exciting topic but was driving home tonight flicking through the DIS and noticed I had done 3900 miles since buying the car. MPG over that distance was 47.4. Was curious what long term figures others have got with the same engine?

At some point prior to me purchasing the car, someone has done a terrific job of scratching the driver and passenger windows. No idea how they've managed it but it's annoying the life out of me. I can buy replacement glass off fleabay but does anyone know if this is a DIY job to replace or...

Engine management light just came on. Plugged in carista and came up with the following. Can anyone tell me what code 04116 is? Tried googling but zero success. I think the P2196 code is Lambda sensor related "I think" (it was just replaced under warranty so god knows whats going on there).

Car went into Audi today for A/C issues. Told them not to wash the car (on the paperwork I signed the service advisor circled 'No' under "Wash vehicle?") He also wrote on the page Do Not Wash. Collect the car. Get in the drivers seat to find one of those paper things hanging from the rear view...

Aircon was working 100% but the car was due to go in for a brake fluid change. For £79 Audi said they would change the brake fluid and service the aircon. 4-5 weeks later, I've noticed that the aircon isn't remotely cold on the lowest temp setting. Called up and they said I'd have to pay for...

Wanting to change the air filter but after 20 minutes trying to unclip the damn hooks on the filter box, I gave up. Doesn't have screws like video's I've seen on youtube for 2.0TDI model. Anyone seen picture/video instructions floating about anywhere?
