Hey guys, Thinking about selling up and wanted to know what you guys think is reasonable for it - it'll probably be going on here + a few other websites but wanted to gauge the right price first. Note, this is NOT an advert! Here are the specs of the car: 2 owners from new (i'm the second...

So my car is in the garage getting a new turbo, and I was promised it would be done on Friday gone. Except I get a phone call saying, nope it hasn't been done because when they quoted they made a mistake, they quoted 4 hours, but because its a quattro its 8 hours, so it's going to take longer...

Hey guys, A family member has an A4 Avant and on startup when it's cold, if you try and accelerate when its stationary or moving slowly there is a massive lag before anything happens. It's hard to explain but it's definitely not the lag of a petrol engine without a turbo. I did try and search...

Hey guys, So a great start to the new year... I've nearly gone blind and had to have retinal detachment surgery and now my turbo has gone on my car. A family member took it into audi for me and asked them to give it a once over and to do the following: New turbo the starting is lethargic in...

What the ****? MOT test fail for DPF removal | Auto Express

It's not audi related, well, it is in my case because my profits are going towards my car! Just wondering how many people have bought some / debated buying some? If you don't know what it is might be worth googling and giving a good read, plenty of sceptics, plenty of hopefuls but as it stands...

... Been getting the most out of my rubber before I sell up and upgrade from my ****ty 17". The guy who had my car before me, took the original alloys off and put some horrible TSW Vortex alloys on there and they're also ****** (no exaggeration there either). They're not worth re-furbing and...

So as you could probably tell from my other threads, I'm having a bit of a battle with my car recently, it seems to be that it's one problem after the other, and I'm starting to feel at this point it's never going to be right. So I thought I would ask for your guys thoughts and what you might do...

So the first garage I went too (where I spent about 2k) was a nightmare, when I asked for prices on things they said "we can't tell you as we may come across problems, we'll tell you when the work is done" same went for when I asked when I would have my car back "the work will be done when it's...

Last week I had a pretty bad flat (12 psi) yet I wasn't warned from the system, so I filled them up, reset it by holding the tyre pressure button on the dash and then carried on going. Turns out I had a nail in the tyre so it went flat pretty quickly soon after and still wasn't warned by the...

I'm starting to get sick and tired of this car now... It's one thing after the other, i've thrown as much money as I can at it and problems keep sprouting up - if i keep replacing stuff at this rate, it'll effectively be a new car by the end of the year. Basically I was told that the resonance...

Hey guys, Mechanic just sent me a picture of this and said he was checking the cambelt timing and apparently two bolts were snapped and the other two were stretched - see picture: He's replaced them but how bad was this? As far as I know it's had the cambelt done in the past 20k!

Hey Guys, Quick question; does anyone know of an insurance company that does temp insurance for males under 21? Specifically either high performance or old school such as the UR quattro!? Thanks, Nathan

Yet another problem with my vehicle, iPod connection doesn't work - it's the v1 rns-e and it uses the cd changer to connect to the iPod. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

So got my car back after being in the garage for 4 weeks, final bill totalled £3023, about £2400 of that paid for by WarrantyDirect. It's had a new clutch, new DMF (both the slightly uprated sachs version), rebuilt gearbox, crankshaft sensor and a few other smaller things here and there. Only...

Hey guys, Just a quick one, I'm purchasing the clutch and DMF from eurocarparts as it's cheap on there + I can get a Sachs kit. Problem is, there is two versions of the same kit and I don't know which one to get (i'm hoping it's the cheaper one). My car is a Audi A3 2.0 TDI 170 Quattro S...

So after a week of battling back and forth, mainly by my garage, they have authorised the claim for: Rebuilt gearbox - basically all new parts Crankshaft Sensor + Labour Dual Mass & Clutch + Labour Labour for putting gearbox in and out Around £3k worth of repairs, I do have to pay £490, but...

Just got a phone call from the garage, they said when they dropped the gearbox to get at the clutch and dual mass (what its in for), they drained the oil and found a lot of copper and metal in it from the synchro - seeing as the oil was only changed 3 weeks ago this isn't good news :(. Anyone...

You may of remembered a thread a few weeks ago about my DMF + Clutch. Well I made the claim to warrantydirect on Friday and to cut a long story short they've spoke to the garage basically telling them that I need to get it into the garage so they can get the flywheel out, take pictures of it...

Hey guys, My clutch is getting very snappy and less predictable and starting to make the car vibrate a lot more than it did, the clutch pedal vibrates very noticeably when slightly depressed. The question is, is this the DMF failing or has it failed? I have warrantydrect and need to claim...
