I have an Audi s3 66 plate with over 120k mileage and recently whilst idling the car seems to be misfiring and shows a P0011 code when OBD is plugged in but also when harsh accelerating or when launching the car it throws up a "drive system fault" message and then seemingly loses power with a...

Hi all, I have a 2008 A3 2.0 TFSI DSG Quattro which has done around 90k miles. I am making this post in the hopes someone can give me advice on the best course of action or possibly someone who is in the know with these cars/engines and can repair it or also give me advice. This is a long post...

Hi All Recently just bought a 2007 3.0TDI with the ASB engine. Weirdly online it comes up on certain HPI checkers and car checkers as a DPF version of the car, however it is not stated in the logbook or whatever. Based on research I have understood that the code 7GN on the rear wheel well...

Hi guys, I have a very strong fuel smell coming out of the engine whenever it is running. The smell is more noticeable when it is idling compared to having it at 2000rpm. The smell is most noticeable under the bonnet but because of that it also gets into the cabin air vents when it's in the...

Hi there, I am new to the forum and would like some advice! I have an Audi a1 TSFI Sport 1.4 and on start up the car sometimes makes a weird noise. When it’s been left for about 7 hours and I come to start it the car makes a blowing sound like air is coming out somewhere and it revs higher than...

I bought my Audi A3 152 1.6 diesel year and a half ago, all of a sudden it stopped working (starting and cutting out straight away) I tried to take cheap option got someone to look who accidentally cleared all diagnostics, so brought it to the garage and 7 weeks in the garage they basically tell...

Good day, I have an Audi A3 1.6 2005 plate and have been thinking of engine swapping a 2.0 TFSI into it, to not only make the car faster but also Stage 1 and possibly Stage 2 it afterwards. Price of engine swapping a 2.0tfsi would be £1,700, by a Auto Engines UK, based by Rainham. I’m just...

Hi all. My 2010 B8 S4 has started making an intermittent (every few seconds) rattling noise from the engine when idling. It sounds like a bearing or loose shaft noise, the video better shows what I mean. I've recently done quite a bit of work on the car and not many miles since so hoping I've...

I'm just about to buy a used 2013 Q5 2.0 Diesel Quattro S-Line with 52K miles and I asked the salesperson if the timing belt was in need of replacing any time soon. He told me that it didn't need to be replaced until 150K. This seems very high; is he correct?

Hi, I’m hoping someone can assist - we currently have a 2011 RS5 in for an unusual issue. Every so often you can get the car to cruise by itself, usually in 5th gear the revs will hold at 1500rpm and the car will coast at 30mph without touching a pedal. It’s not every time and seems more...

Hello all, Past couple days my car's developed a noise, bit with no other symptoms. Last service was 3,500 miles ago. Thought it might be the cambelt wearing at first but I've identified where the noise is coming from (check video). As you can see it's the plastic popping in and out as the...
