    Strange rotary vibration

    Cheers for that, the tyres are all relatively new and were all changed together so doubt it's them.... The noise seemed to start after the weekend where I'd been towing a trailer for about 400 miles and a heavy ish roof box. Nothing until about 36/37 then disappears behind engine and road noise...

    The latest installment in this saga, car went to dealer today for full diagnostic, to cut a long story short it appears the garage who repaired the filter housing filled the s tronic part with the incorrect fluid. Spoke to the garage and they said they ordered the filter and the associated...

    3.0 Tdi Quattro gearbox RIP

    107000 . I bought at 97000 and assumed it was the same as my old BMW, sealed and not changed. Expensive error, although damage probably already done, I'm a bit annoyed Audi didn't insist it was done previous, as the SH is 100% done at the same Audi garage

Oh well, car is at the garage now so will find out...

    3.0 Tdi Quattro gearbox RIP

    Nervous now, car has now left work and is on the way to my mates garage on a low loader. Clearly the gearbox has not much oil left in it, as most is on the carpark floor, heres hoping its just an oil problem.
