    DPFs - do they have a lifespan?

    Hi all, Have had a late 2009 A3 sportback 2.0 TDI 170 for nearly 3 years now. I know this comes with a dpf but wondered if these have a lifespan before they have to or should be replaced (i.e. 100k miles) or if you keep going until it just decides no more. I appreciate asking about the...

    DRLs work then don't and then work again? Help please

    Thinking of selling, thoughts and prices...

    Just wanted to get thoughts on my thinking, am I being crazy and what would you pay for it? I'm going away for work for a few months in March and it'll just sit on the drive whilst away with the occasional drive from my wife. So part of me feels it may make sense to sell before I go. My car is...

Basically it happened back in the UK in the summer when we had the really hot spell (late 20s). Car...

    Emission Light - Aux Water Pump

    A couple of days ago the emissions control warning light came up on my dash and has stayed on ever since. Seeing as it was going in for a service and cambelt kit job today left it and asked if they could read the fault code. Apparently it came back as Aux water pump. They reset the warning and...

    Alloy Refurbers Bath/Bristol

    Hi Everyone, Early hours this morning I somehow managed to crack my wheel against a curb. Really annoyed with myself and not even too sure how I managed it, unless there was a pothole I missed. Anyway, tyre went and lost a chunk of my alloy. Luckily my tyre was due to be changed but the alloy...
