Thanks! So it was 30 Nm. I have done the brakes and used that setting. Thanks again.

I found the torque for the Q5 at 30Nm. I guess that should be ok? Damn me, I lost the elsawin disc!

Hi, I can't find the brake caliper torque settings for front brakes on my A6 C6 4F 3.0l tdi quattro. Can someone help please. PR code is 1LG if it helps. Thanks

I think I've sorted it. The intake manifold rod was disconnected at the bottom. I reconnected it and the engine management light disappeared. I let you know if it happens again. I wonder how it came off because it took quite some force to push it back into the small retaining ball. I wonder if...

How would I know? From the scan it seems to be the intake rods, a common problem on these engines. Where about are you?

Hi everyone, My A6 C6 4F 3.0l quattro TDI has been randomly lighting the engine management light and becoming more and more persistent. Car drives just fine, but I had it scanned and these are the results: 012597 - Intake Manifold Runner Control P3135 - 001 - Lower Stop not...

Thank you!

Hi everyone, Went to buy the usual Quantum Longlife 5W30 for my A6 and found that Fuchs now produces Quantum oils. Is this oil as good as quantum...

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Here they are https://m.autodoc.co.uk/stabilus/292533?gadw=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAxc6PBhCEARIsAH8Hff2tVaPX88HDNcpYj_2Iz_H3boWUK7tLRDsZIsCUUhZIcBuu9uYrEAIaAhaGEALw_wcB

My car hasn't got a dpf, but reading online I think it's got an emission sensor. Can anyone confirm? In the meantime I also read that when running in manual mode on high revs (4th gear at 70mph) the coolant is pumped around to avoid overheating and the temperature drops. Then when in 6th gear...

Yes, I know. Is it possible that there's an emission sensor that hot dirty and after a blast on motorways at high revs it self cleared? Seen this on YouTube for a Q5, don't know if it applies to my car.

Update. After a 20 mile stretch on the motorway the light has disappeared. Any ideas?

Hi everyone, The engine management light came on and I noticed that when I go on motorway the temperature drops. If I go on manual and leave the 4th gear on, the temperature drops to about 75 degrees, but goes back up if i go on 6th gear but not all the way to 90. If i'm in traffic it stays on...

I tried the microfiber cloth, but after 15 minutes of rubbing nothing happened. Scratches are still there and coating doesn't come off. Any tricks I'm missing here?

So no cleaning products needed, just a microfiber cloth and should come clear. Then I apply a screen protector, correct?

Great detailing, well done. One question: how did you get rid of scratches on the MMI screen? I'm scared to do anything to it in case I mess it up even more.

Hi everyone, I have been told on another forum that when stationary it is always best to shift into Neutral before applying the EPB and release the foot brake (automatic transmission tiptronic) In my car manual instead, it says that it is ok to remain in Drive. The person suggested that the...

For further benefit of some. Time came to change pas fluid on my passat and both cars' brake fluid. So I splashed £31 on an extractor pump, aka vacuum pump, having "lost" my old trusted one a few years ago. So much easier and clean to do all of this. If you maintain your own car, I strongly...

Hi, sorry for the delay in updating. For the benefit of someone here i write how it went. I measured the return pipe diameter which is 16.5 mm because i realised it's too short to go straight in a bottle, there's no much space. So i had to use an extension pipe about 20cm long. Here is a £300...

In the end I went for stabilus, £32 for the pair. 5 minutes to fit and they work perfectly. Finally the boot opens fully on its own.
