Tried having a look around but haven’t really been able to pull much info about this, my 2017 Q2 1.6TDI Manual threw a check engine light the other day, read the codes and it’s showing torque limitation due to clutch temperature. I cleared the code and it stayed off for a few days but has come...

Have tried this but it seems to be the handle isn’t connected to the cable at all, so won’t even pull the wire.

Went out this morning to try and start my 325d, battery dead. Anyway, got my A3 up close jump cables out and now the bonnet won’t open on my A3. The actual cable it’s self isn’t working, when I pull the handle I can feel nothing happen. It’s like the cable has become detached from the handle...

I'm aware of that, I was wondering is 117k is a lot because I think it's on it's last legs now

My a3 is just about to hit 117k, I'm not sure how it was driven by the previous owner (not well to my knowledge), how long should the standard clutch last before needing a replacement?

I've thought about getting a dash cam but I'm very OCD about my car so everything would have to be out of my view

I agree with you that the M5 is full of some real idiots, I drive down there regularly as my family owns a property in Cornwall, worst I've seen was a guy in an X6 weaving in and out of very heavy traffic, beeping his horn and flashing his lights then undertaking on the hard shoulder. No respect...

I've never posted in this section before, but I saw this today and it got me really really annoyed, I was driving into town the same as I normally do, I exited a roundabout and a brand new blue RS6 flew up behind me, I was doing 40 and couldn't go any faster because there was traffic infront of...

Sorry to hear about this, seems like car jacking is becoming quite a common thing around the midlands. Do you only have to option for a like for like replacement, or will the insurance co not offer you the value of the car in cash?

Sorry haven't been able to get online the past days as we had new broadband fitted, anyway I replaced the filter and re connected the pipe, some tickover issues at first but then took it for a long drive and its much smoother now, thanks for your suggestions guys.

It disappears under the bottom left of the engine cover so I'll take that off and have a look tomorrow when it's bright out.

I was poking around my engine today whilst checking on oil levels and topping up washer fluid when I noticed a pipe with nothing connected too it (shown above) the pipe with nothing on it comes out of the air box. After a bit more digging I found the black pipe next to it was meant to be...

How difficult are these to wrap yourself? I wrapped some interior bits on mine and have some carbon wrap left so might do the B pillars.

Hi, I know this has probably been asked before but I couldn't find anything in the search. I'm looking at buying a 2007 2.0TDI S-line, the 140 model. Could anyone point me in the right direction of a buyers guide listing different engines/common problems. Also do the higher mileage ones...

I wish I could claim it off my insurance but being 17 and already paying 2k+ it'll push my premium up too much, and my excess is more than the repair would cost too sadly. Not anymore. After a month they suspended the investigation because of the 'lack of evidence' (laziness) I almost did...
