Yep, gone in 11 minutes, without either of the keys!! They used some kind of handheld device and programmed a key from inside the car, whilst the second guy messed in the boot. Oh and one of them cased the house earlier that afternoon and took pics of the car etc. He even tried to knock out my...

As you’ll no doubt know. My 2009 S4 is new to me and has had this annoying lumpy tick over thing at ideal. Plugs fine, coils fine and a lot of owners say it’s normal. So I thought I’d just live with it. However, for the hell of it I stuck a can of this 44k in the tank and also did the old foot...

Hi Guys, Im slowly getting round the car, you know, getting it all to my liking. a wheel alignment, all wheels balanced full clean inside and out. You know the usual. But before I go fitting the 6 new coil packs in the morning, can you tell me if this is normal please. My S4 idles at about...

Just looked down the front of the engine and seen a precariously laying piece of curved shiny metal hanging above one of the large pulleys. It looks almost like one of the groves from said pully has come away. I mean it hasn’t but that’s what it looks like How can I stick a picture up here for...

Hi All, So, 24 hours in and I’m already suffering the dreaded forum related paranoia! Things I’ve noticed so far... Gearbox, seems perfect in every gear but is a little jerky in slow speeds sometimes. Yesterday with a cold start I went to pull out from the curb and I’m sure it nearly...

Carista is showing me an ‘manifacturer specific code’ for the engine. It keeps reappearing. No engine lights at all. 08902 Engine Part #: 8K0907551 Coding: 010C000C240F0128 (hex) Component: 3.0T SIMOS84 Fault codes: 08902 Manufacturer-specific code Any ideas what this might be?

I’m back on brand after a few I’ll fitting decisions. Best not to ask. Anyway, I have a nice sprint blue S4 Avant from 2009. Almost looks new as well. I have a question though. It’s not got a B&O sound system, but has multi speakers and a centre speaker on the dash etc. So, what was the...

So, I’ve now had 7 bent wheels from not overly deep pot holes in my S3, since I bought it brand new in November 2017..... 2 sets of original wheels, one on Pirelli’s and one on conti’s. 235,35,19 Has anyone else been suffering this plight? It was the same in my GTE. I’m almost certain VAG...

Just a quickie. Is everyone’s as unreliable as mine?

My 2 month old S3. Full lock out a junction, in ice, and into the Kirb the other side of the road. Probably about 5mph, but the alloy buckled and the wheel was sat off centre when going straight....... brilliant So, the guys at a local place (who don’t charge £290 for alignment) had a look...

Wow!! I’ve run my car as per audi instructions, and had the oil and filter changed for one fukids and filter. Here are my observations. Filter - full of swarf, red flecks, yellow flecks and doing its job. Oil - absolutely black as hell, exactly like cutting paste. For 1500 miles, really...

My nano grey S3 is now a week old and I’ve put 700 miles on her. So what are my thoughts? Bad bits: Wastegate rattle. God that’s annoying once you hear it, you can’t Un hear it. :-( And the cabin squeaks. Wow, ok the pan roof I can live with, they all do that but, the headlight control panel...

So, I have had my 2007 S5 for 6 months now. I noticed a shimmy through the car / steering wheel at about 70, increasing up to 100mph. Noticed a lot of people on boards A5OC and here talking about it actually, and followed all the options, like wheel balancing, etc. All wheels balanced...

My windscreen wipers are colliding. The drivers side (big one) is getting trapped under the nearest edge of the passenger side. as they leave resting position. And not every time either. Also, this only happens when I'm accelerating or going above 40pmh. How annoying this is, I can't...

Now I have looked over the net for a proper resource on this, and there really isnt one. I have just bought an S5. And it has a 2G MMI system, with AMI in the glove box. So far, I have tried 3 brads of USB HDD on it, all formatted to FAT32, all Bus powered as per Audi instructions. None...

i've had the car for a week now, and it's going back in to have some bits done, snags I have found etc. one thing that's really annoying me is the right rear suspension. It sits an inch or so lower than the left. What will this be? any ideas? A

I have been to the dark side, and in April I bought a Rangerover Sport. Ouch, anyway, Audi have let me swap it for a nice 08 S5! Looking foreword to picking that up on the 30th. I have a question, how easy is it to fit cruse control? is it just the stalk, and clicking the optuion in...

Hi All, Been away for a while but have been trying out loads of stuff. I have found that the bloke that et up valet pro, is very nice, and extremely knowledgeable too. They are bringing out their own brand of clay and lube which I will try and report back on, but since last time I have...

A friend of mine has asked me to sort his blown sub out. A3 8P - BOSE. i cant find a second hand one on ebay, and TBH they look rather expensive. Is there an after market, strait swap sub I can put in. Obviously the Bose system has a crap amp so the sub would need to be a low powered...

Hi all, I speak to you today, exactly 1 week after the 3rd attempt on my wife and I's cars. the first time i left the car unlocked, by mistake, and they got my wallet. 2 weeks ago, I woke up at about 2am and shone a torch onto the drive and scared them away. at 3.30 am, last sunday...
