    Oil filter not replaced at last Audi service?

    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!

    Wheres the brake master cylinder?

    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

    DPF: Reading ash loading level @140,000 mi

    Hi all I'm checking my service intervals to see what needs doing next, and I noticed: DPF: Reading ash loading level first from 140,000 mi then every 20,000 mi What does that mean - have the DPF checked, or replaced? Does sonic cleaning for DPFs exist, is it snake oil or worth doing? Or just...

    Bit sluggish, bit thirsty, hot exhaust, fan staying on

    2014 2l TDI 184 My fan has been staying on a lot more recently, say every other journey. Also car feels a little bit more sluggish, bit thirstier, exhaust smells “warm” and I can feel it’s heat more when I’m stood behind the car. It doesn’t happen every time, but the fan/heat/sluggish/thirst...

    Any nuances when changing rear shocks?

    Is it as straightforward as other cars - three bolts, swap, done. Use the jack under the axle beam to keep it all in check. Elsawin says to replace all the bolts - never done this on other cars, is it required for Audi or are they being over cautious money spinners? Any difference between...

    Scruffy xenon headlights

    Is it possible to polish these up? Mine feel quite rough. I tried claying them anyway but they feel like tiny chips. I’ve had a read but most headlight restoration threads mention plastic and xenons feels rather like glass. Thanks

    Stop Start memory function

    Hi, I've been looking around for instructions on how to activate memory function on stop start so it remembers the last setting when you cycle ignition. All the instructions I have found point to adaption channel 34 which are for cars with older module protocols. Is there an equivalent for cars...

    Rear end unsettled cornering over uneven ground

    Hi My car is a bit unsettled when cornering over pot holes and the like. Rear suspension is sometimes a bit creaky and I had an advisory on last MOT there is oil mist on the rear shocks. I know some mist is ok, but could this be worn shocks and the reason for the unsettled ride? Car has done...

    Do all S-Lines have tinted sun strip on windscreen

    Hi as per subject. Autoglass just came to replace windscreen and the replacement didn’t have the grey sun strip. It was the chap that pointed it out. They spoke to their people who said my car didn’t come with one from factory and I’d have to get it signed off by insurers. The chap apologised...

    Where do you buy your sensors from?

    I'm sure with sensors and things it pays to go genuine. Where do you get them from? I see eBay has alot of what I'm after but certainly no guarantees it's any good. Is there a motor factor or someone like TPS? Obviously I could go to Audi if I wanted to pay top dollar.

    Glow plug error code

    My car sometimes ticks over for a couple of seconds before firing up. A couple of days ago it took a little longer than usual and gave an error code about a glow plug in cylinder 3. I think I’m going to replace the plugs as it’s done 125k and no evidence of them being done in the past. Is there...

    Boost Sensor error code (VCDS P0236 DTUK)

    Hi I'm getting an error code and limp home mode. It's happened a couple of times. I've disconnected my DTUK tuning box to rule that out as it connects to the boost sensor. I've read the sensor could be a red herring and it might be vacuum pipes, blocked EGR etc etc Do sensors have a reduced...

    Are there any guides on what mesh and how to fit (to protect condensor)

    Hi, I've spent time reading some threads but no solid info on what mesh people use and how to fit. I'd make one, but not if it already exists. Just got a bill for a new condensor hence need to protect the new one. Thanks, Kristian
