I don’t but I’m guessing pristine wheels are any good wheel refurb company that can use diamond cut could have the inserts Matt grey and the outer facing edges diamond cut polish like on my OEM 20s

I’m not sure if the model you’re after has s tronic or 8 speed auto but if it’s s tronic my advice would be to try to test drive from cold and go thru all the gears in each mode Pay particular attention going from 1 to 2 and down shifting from 3 to 2 Dsg oil and filter services are vital

I’ve noticed that even at 90 degrees engine temp it still idles at over 800rpm Could it be trying to regen constantly? Thanks

Latest is that I’ve been monitoring when the engine is cold everyday and it’s gone from just about the min level mark to just below the seam so it’s losing it on a regular basis. I do about 50 miles a day of motorway and back roads Does anyone know what issues would cause water to leak into...

Jesus! I’d say it’s super quick. I have a 272 but the s tronic gearbox would be at the limit of its torque so I’m in two minds in whether to ramp to 680nm as I’ve read the limit on that gearbox is 600nm

I’m considering one of these. What engine do you have? Thanks

Thanks. I did a scan with OBD eleven and it only showed one fault code on brakes U111300 limitation to implausible measure. I’ll try to get a proper VCDS scan.

One other observation is the fans seem to be coming on more after I’ve parked after a 30 minute drive. This morning I came home all by motorway and only got stuck in traffic for a few minutes at the end yet the fans where whirring for at least ten minutes after I turned the engine off Seems...

Thanks for the feedback. I had noticed that it was harder to get 45mpg on a motorway run to work and I just thought it was due to colder weather etc. I must explore egr clean/delete options. If anyone has any tips on best thing to do with egr please feel free to post Thanks

It seems get better mpg and the idle is just below 800rpm rather than just over it like was just when the warning light came on I don’t do that point to anything?

Thanks. I’ll try that. It took a litre to top it up to the max. The light came on after I had been parked up with the engine running for about 20 minutes. Don’t know if that contributed.

The warning just came on and as per the picture I’ve to top it up. This is the second time I’ve had to top it up in the last four months. Has anyone any thoughts on what I should get checked to diagnose a leak? Thanks.

That’s the exact car I plan to get next! Currently enjoying C7.5 272 BE saloon. I think the wheels you have are the same as mine but you should consider getting them re done to the Matt grey and diamond cut would look superb with Daytona grey. How many miles are on your BiTdi? And what...

I thought it looked a little darker. Amazing and a rare colour in Ireland

Is that Tornado grey? Looks amazing
