Folks, is anyone able to confirm if a flat bottom steering wheel from an SQ5 will fit a 8V A3, B8.5 A4, C7 A6 etc? I know the ordinary round Q5 steering wheel is different to the other round Audi wheels, but is the flat bottom wheel identical across all models? Or is the Q5 one limited to the Q5...
That was my first thought, but I’ll probably refit the original grill when it comes to selling the car, so would be easier just to have separate sensors rather than having to repaint the originals again.
I have a replacement grill to fit on my C7.5 allroad and need to get 2 new parking sensors (black instead of grey). I’m just wondering if genuine sensors are required, or would any of the thousand cheap aftermarket ones would work? I’m not sure if they are to be avoided, or they are actually...
Folks, my 3.0TDi A7 has an annoying habit of holding back while I’m pressing the accelerator going down hills. Initially it was just in steep hills, but I’m convinced it’s getrinf worse and does it all the time on any down hills now.
Now I know this is a common thing on VAG cars (from memory it...
The left hand scroll function on my steering wheel randomly stopped working yesterday. It works for a split second when the car is turned on, but then stops. It works as a button when pushed in and all other controls work (including the right hand scroll), it’s just the scroll that doesn’t work...
Folks, when in 5th at around 35-45 if I accelerate slightly but not hard enough to drop down a gear, there is a sound like the car is labouring. If I put the foot down a little further it drops down to 4th and all is well.
I have a warranty on my car and it was in with Audi a few months ago and...
Has anyone had experience of replacing the actuator or using the repair kit (part number 059 198 201A)?
I cant seem to find any other cases online.
From what I can see the repair kit just looks exactly the same as the actuator?!
Thanks for that, very useful. I'll look into that repair set.
I can get a turbo and actuator for £200, or actuator for 150 euro. Hopefully fitting isn't too big a job for someone in the know.
I know zero about mechanical stuff, but from what I see on Google the bit with the connector is actually an actuator that bolts to the turbo. So I believe it can be replaced on it's own.
Some developments!
I removed the engine cover to see if anything obvious had come off and noticed the connector on the turbo was loose. When I first had the car in with Audi for a once over they said the connector on the turbo side was broken.
Today it was loose and there appeared to be a bit...
Folks, my wife was driving my car (08 A8 3.0TDi) earlier and it went into limp mode and the glow plug light started flashing. No white smoke or anything I believe.
I appreciate I need to get it diagnosed but can anyone tell me what the possibilities are that it could be?
Last night I had the...
