    Hi guys. Just purchased myself a 2015 S5. Really like the car. Couple little things to sort out (which I knew about), such as needs new discs and pads which I'm changing at weekend and it also has a very slight vibration/rumble around 50ish and 70ish. Now the discs are pretty bad and judder when...

    Rear lights polished

    Hey guys....long time since posting, so thought I'd put this up! My inner rear lights were shocking and faded/cloudy. So I bought some wet and dry and stuck it in my sander.....think its turned out good for only a couple quid! Both sides were bad but came out nice and shiny eventually.

    Jacking up the A3

    Just wondered how people are getting on with this? I've been using the eBay rubber pucks to jack on the sill point (ones with the groove cut out), but it's split after not much usage. And I don't want to jack straight onto the sill for the obvious reason of damaging it. I have looked at the...

    Cam follower inspection

    Thought I would check the cam follower as I'm not sure of condition or when last changed. To me it looks fine....any thoughts? Pics of how I done it too if it helps someone. 1) release pressure from this Schrader valve (There should be a black cap on it, but just pull off). It's under pressure...

    Aircon advice needed

    I've had a code showing a fault with the G65 high pressure sensor (pic shows the code), stating "open or short to ground". Now I'm not sure what this means? I've just fitted a new sensor but still have this code showing. I'm not overly clued up on electrics, but have run a very basic voltmeter...

    After some help please guys. Ive had 2 codes on my car, one for EVAP with code P0441. So today I've fitted a new purge valve. I've only used the car once, but noticed it started faster (apparently bad purge valve cause starting issues), and seems to idle nicer. The other code is: Boost...
