    Help Please Intermittent rattle when idling - video - any ideas?

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...

    Q3 Looking for official advice on Q3 Quattro timing belt replacement frequency

    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?

    4.2 FSI RS4/5 - can you help?!

    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...

    2005 A6 C6 - Engine hoist hook bolts?

    So, this is kind of a noob question, probably, but my A6 had an engine swap in February last year, after the previous owner somehow managed to blow up an N/A V6. Still a mystery to me how that might happen... Anyway, the engine hoist hooks/eyelet thingies are still on the engine, and I have to...
