    ABS sensor fault

    I had power steering go on an A3 I had a few years ago & nothing seemed to sort it. Tried the calibration by turning the steering wheel lock to lock, got the steering angle sensor changed etc. Then had a VAG master tech look at it, plug in VCDS and all speed sensor readings 'seemed' fine. Until...

    A7 Pads (& discs?)

    Nice, being bigger did they need any new brackets? What have you done with your old SQ5 calipers?

    A7 Pads (& discs?)

    Would've gone for upgraded discs but the tyres cost a small fortune when we have little spare cash. Hoping the redstuff are kinder to the discs too. Will look into getting them skimmed before they get too bad again

    A7 Pads (& discs?)

    Had the tyres done yesterday and the guy said the discs are too far gone and need changing (tried looking for stamp on the edge but coundnt see it). There is quite a lip though, and if I did just pads, I would probably need new discs before the pads need changing again, which means a full set...

    A7 Pads (& discs?)

    Me again, with the brake pad light again. I thought I'd gone Brembo all round before burlt reading this I'm not so sure now. Discs have a lip (or rather a dip where the pad has worn away the disc) on them so am I right in assuming they should be changed? Pads look to have 5mm at least left on...

    Tyre Pressures Thread?

    I know there are a number of posts about this subject but is there a single thread that has all tyre sizes & pressures? I have 275 30 21's on the A7 which I follow the info that's on the label for (depending if unloaded or full up), but I have 235 35 19's on a caddy van that I am a little...

    Ceramic Coating Advice Please

    I have recently used Labocosmetica #purifica on coated and non coated cars. It helps remove limescale from tap water & mineral deposits from rain. For non coated (or indeed for the prep for the application) it does a great job at removing these to help get the best bond for any product you...

    Auto Hold/Hill Hold Memory

    Evening I have searched for quite some time and can not seem to find an answer, so apologies if it has been covered before. I have a 2013 A7, and am looking to have the hold assist memory enabled if possible? We had a 2013 A3 8v some years ago and that had the memory enabled so it stayed...

    Plastic polishing, has anyone tried compound on their rear lights

    Another thing to note would be that the pad I used got pretty clogged (more apparent when I cleaned it in the sink) with spent product and crud from the light. If I had more to do (ie. if I was working on a panel on a car) then the pad would need to be cleaned properly or replaced with a new one

    Plastic polishing, has anyone tried compound on their rear lights

    Honestly, I was pretty pleased with the outcome too. Didn't think that it would come up like this without wet sanding, so quite educational for me. They still need some work to be perfect as the edges need more attention, but the real importance is that you can get great results (safely) with...
