I can't answer that, fate would not be on my side!

old not odd :) it looks quite dark (to me) and the same with the oil. Not sure what to expect hence reaching out to the masses

Hi, I replaced the oil filter housing gasket today on my 2017 S5 B9 and thought the oil filter looked a bit old. I could be wrong. The car had an 'inspection with oil change' in February just before I bought it. Does the filter look 2 months old/ 1500 miles? Thanks!

Is that front bumper standard? I don’t think that honeycomb grill is, but the lower bumper/splitter - I can’t find another that looks like it

Hi, I’m going to see this in the week: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202402106443490 Is there a buyers guide around or anything I should look out for? Thanks, Kris

Morning all Would like to bleed the master cylinder, I figured it’s behind/under the brake reservoir bottle - and it probably is - but I can barely see the master cylinder let alone the two bleed nipples. Any ideas? Thanks! 2014 2.0 TDI

Hi, I think my cars under-performing, no fault codes. Would anyone have in-gear performance figures for manual 2wd 184 TDI? Thanks!

Hi all My front discs started scoring and making a scraping sound when braking. Sound went away when warmed up. Removed pads and still some meat on them but discs were getting thin so replaced discs and pads with new items. Still getting scraping sound :/ I took a photo as they don’t look...

you do, but the question was about the switch

You need to replace the light switch with one that has ‘auto’ on it. For the wipers you just set it to intermittent and this acts as auto.

Ok thanks I did wonder. Looking at the torque on the lower damper bolt and nut its 70nm which is fairly high for what I imagine is no bigger than an M10. The upper bolts only 50nm.

I don't think bolts #15 are subject to much stress given they bolt upwards and the weight of the car sits on the support bearing (#12) so I'll forego those, but will renew #8 and #9 as the damper sits on this bolt. The new dampers already came with #13 the basic nylon locking nut. The other #13...

I just spoke to Audi regarding the new nuts and bolts, in total £30!! For ref: N90648402 x4 - #15 N10628301 x2 - #8 N10106402 x2 - #9 WHT007127 x2 - #13 8J0512041 x2 - also #13. not sure about this one. not in picture they didn't have it in stock so didnt order it. and not included in the £30...

Thanks, I went with the 318202 and they arrived today I pushed them down manually (like you do) and it was surprisingly easy and I could hear bubbles. Consequent pushes had a fair but more friction but I was still surprised I could compress them by hand - I expected them to be really hard to...
