    Engine oil temps

    Hi I have a 1.6 na A3, regular service and maintenance. I do long motorway journeys and on hot days like today engine oil temps stay between 100-105 even up to 110, intake temps stay at 90. Do I have a problem or is it simply the hot weather and will this do damage?

    obd11 and canbus error

    My concern is canbus has cut power when the LED was in there and has not tried to light up the new bulb. I thought maybe clearing the error code would make canbus read the resistance again and light up the bulb since its now supposedly the right resistance.

Im...

    reg plate lights (i know i know)

    Thank you but if theres a way to sort this with coding id rather do that than spend another £40+ on more lights, with being plug and play would they work first time or would the error need to be cleared?

    09 reg 8P1. When starting, my car will often beep followed by showing the "esp fault see owners manual" error, an orange steering wheel light and orange traction error light will show until I drive off, things like my clock will reset when this happens. The issue seems to be related to shutting...
