A video on YouTube shows you how it's done. An car electronic specialist with VCDS did mine. The instructions I printed for him look the same as in the video. WARNING!!!! BE CAREFUL!!! do not mess with the settings in the Hidden Menu unless you know what you are doing. Use at your own risk...

My passenger side came loose when on holiday in Croatia in 2018. I glued it back into place with Araldite and used a small block and tape to hold it firmly in place. Left it like this for a few hours. It's still in place and the heating works fine. It is a plain glass mirror without any dipping...

If you look in the Parts Database you will see the correct wheel offset defined for the wheel sizes for an Allroad. John.

Not really. Mine went virtually all at once and the car had to taken to a dealer on a flat-bed truck. I knew very little about auto gearboxes before my episode and now I know there is a hydraulic system for changing gear which needs oil and consequently a pump to pressure the mechatronic system...

I've had the plastic filter housing fail, allowing oil to leak from the gearbox, which resulted in some of the symptoms you experience. Clunky changes, hunting through the box. The dealer was certain at first it was the Mechatronic unit, but inspection revealed low oil level in the box as a...

Many thanks Sandra for the link. Original 4 spoke wheel:- Wheel reprofiled and recovered by Royal Steering Wheels:- John.

Royal Steering Wheels can recover and reprofile your existing steering wheel, including a flat bottom for about £200. I've had my 4 spoke wheel done and any help to post a photo within the size limit would be much appreciated. John.

I had an issue with my S-Tronic gearbox recently and whilst researching came across this company. No connection whatsoever, but just an example. My issue was resolved by my local Audi dealer...

Hi. This is not a direct answer to your problem as I can only relate the circumstances of a recent problem I had with my S-Tronic. My gearbox is at 102K miles, oil changes done at the correct intervals and the next change would be due in 9K miles and with no problems. Then driving recently...

I needed some parts for my car just over a week ago. The website for my local Audi dealer said parts department closed until further notice, so I e-mailed to ask when they would be open. Official reply was 1st June, but if I returned e-mail with parts list they would order and have ready to...

My Invoice from York Audi in 2017 for the bolts you need has the code:- UWHT 007 963 Nuts:- UN 102 723 02 The bolts have been redesigned from those originally fitted to my car in 2011. The new design has a thinner diameter in the middle section away from the 2 pinch areas. Your vehicle from...

Thanks Audidi, but I am trying to find a real world ride height for 1BV to compare to the ride height of my lowering springs. John.

My SE 3.0Tdi Quattro C7 has been fitted with Eibach lowering springs and it is about to have work done on the rear suspension which will mean the alignment will need resetting. To help me check if my vehicle ride height corresponds to build code 1BV, could someone please check their codes and...

I am not a diagnostic expert and would say the solution could be the same as mine only if you have an indicated dash failure of the warning lights of the four systems in my earlier post. I was told the wheel bearing is a single unit with the speed sensing ring incorporated in it. If the bearing...

ABS, ESP, parking brake, stop/start are all part of the wheel speed control system, which is conditioned by a sensor disc and electronic reader at each wheel bearing. I recently had these dash warning lights and the only remedy was a new wheel bearing and electronic reader for the afflicted...
