    Timing belt replacement. How often?

    So just a datapoint to anyone who may find it helpful, I sold my MY2015 1.6 TDi last week after replacing it with another vehicle (not an Audi) It had done 79000 miles and the cam belt was never changed. I decided to follow the parent company and leave the belt as I am sure that Audi UK are out...

    What have you moved on to

    Decided to finally part with my MY2015 1.6 diesel cab. Was disappointed that Audi stopped building the soft top and the A5 is far more than I want to pay. Wanted to stay with a convertible so I ended up taking delivery this week of a new MX-5. Heck of a change that's for sure! I miss the...

    Timing belt replacement. How often?

    You may find this interesting - a previously posted conversation between me and Audi UK, after contacting Audi DE. https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/low-mileage-cambelt.425737/#post-3674285

    Cam Belt ?

    I posted some time ago about the massive difference between what Audi UK say and the rest of the Audi network say regarding the changing of the cambelt. I posted the text of the conversation I had with Audi Germany who said that they still maintain that the belt be changed at around 130,000...

    Kerbed Alloy and Tyre Advice

    How weird - I did almost exactly the same thing a week ago, but to the offside front. My local garage (who also do my MOTs) said it was fine and would pass MOT - and they are very strict on everything.

    Low mileage cambelt

    So, back in Oct 2019 I posted the following on this forum. Might add a bit more to the conversation: So, I have been emailing back and forth to Audi UK to see what they have to say about the whole issue. Below is the thread - it's quite clear they are still trying to justify this change of...

    A new thread about the cambelt service question

    I assume you read my long posts earlier about my to and fro with Audi Germany. Did you happen to know whether the belt showed any signs of obvious wear? I'm wondering just how likely it is that the parent company recommendations are still valid, given the similarities between UK and German...

    Instrument lights dark - when you need them!

    Or use the Auto Lights function, which I personally dislike.

    Instrument lights dark - when you need them!

    Well, well, I never realised that. Kinda makes sense I guess. Thanks!

    Instrument lights dark - when you need them!

    I refrained from posting this for a while as I thought I must be going mad. My 64reg Cabriolet (not an S-Line) happily illuminates the instruments at all times, lights on or off. However when the ext lights are off, the instrumentation goes dark when the car goes into a tunnel or under trees...

    When does the Brake Pad Worn come on?

    There's no grooving and the car still stops perfectly. I mostly do motorway driving so over 30 - 40K miles I'll use them brakes far less than a city driver and I rend to be very easy on them anyway. Thanks guys - just wanted to have some armoury in case the garage tries to fail the vehicle on...

    When does the Brake Pad Worn come on?

    Just wondering if anyone knows how thin the pads have to be before the light comes on. I'm having mine MOT'd tomorrow and they are getting low-ish, hard to tell exactly, but no warning. I just don't want to be told to replace them if they are still within the legal limits.

    Where can I get this plastic screw?

    Noticed a strip hanging from the bottom of my 8V Cab today. There's a plastic screw that has fallen out (surviving one in the picture) - probably worked its way loose. Does anyone know where I can get one of these or have some sort of part number?

    MMI GPS Clock Change

    I just discovered the manual summertime setting which was set to On. I guess that's it.

    MMI GPS Clock Change

    Well mine is a PFL and I am sure it changed in March. I had a look and it's set to GPS time and the timezone is set to UTC. Weird.
