I had the bumper off my S4 a couple of times, possibly the easiest bumper to remove ever. Max one hour charge for that to come off and go back on. I also changed the cambelt kit and waterpump on my CR140 Tiguan, if you get charged more than four hours in total for this job then I'd suggest...

Was it done at Audi previously? I can see the issue had it been done out of their network. Computer issue will be your reply [emoji846]

To be fair, all of which they tried with me (£1800 worth!!) I knew about. But £135 each for Kumho tyres in 18's...! They tried to get me to change both aux belts (bumper off job on S4), had they looked, they would see they had done less than 100 miles. The service guy wasn't chuffed when I...

My local Audi dealer are enough to put you off the brand. Eventually they stopped with this health check. One time, apparently my tyres had grown tread between two visits, two months apart when they went from 3mm to 5mm.

You can go into measuring blocks of your HVAC in VCDS and it can tell you why the AC won't activate. This isn't a fault scan, it is live logging.

As mentioned, VCDS Lite only works on K-line (mk4 Golf etc). Even the Micro-CAN cable doesn't work with the B8, it needs the Hex-USB+CAN cable.

I have had mine for a year and a half before advertising it, but will soon have three kids under three years old, hence my genuine need for a Touran. I planned on keeping it for 4-5 years but it is too nice a car for my current needs. Could be similar to the one you are enquiring about. A year...

The guy I got my RS4 8 pots from had put on RS6 390's, direct fit he said. Seeing as the RS4's went on my S4, I imagine the only fitment issue is the shieds being too small

Yes, it all went together

I have standard 18's on my S4 and had 10mm front/15mm on the rear. No issues at all and allowed me to fit front RS brakes.

RS4 B8/RS5 brakes fit under these 18's with spacers (I used 10mm) Just sold my set yesterday.

This sucks, I think you should be persistant with the fact they have misdiagnosed at your cost whilst causing issues during the fitting. Duty of care and all that. I have been quoted sub £1800 for clutch replacements recently, one from Audi and one from a gearbox specialist, but it is still a...

It is a direct injection engine so there will be carbon buildup over time.

This is the part they replaced on mine, 0B5398009D. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-volkswagen-audi-parts/mechatronics-repair-kit/0b5398009d/ Unsure what loom they broke, could be they damaged the retainer of the plug etc and need a new plastic end to rewire, because any other loom requires...

My warranty company paid out on a claim late last year, for me it was the mechatronics ECU repair kit. It can throw up numerous faults depending on what part of the PCB gets affected first. My fault was something like 'torque restricted due to clutch temperature' with a message of 'gearbox...
