Closing this thread off; I’ve now had the lower control arms, both front and rear, replaced on the front end. Had the ball joints done as well. Mechanic showed me the removed parts and whilst there was some minor signs of wear, we agreed that they didn’t really look dead. However, when driving...

Thanks for the reply. The video isn’t the best but you’re right, it’s a creaking noise…sounds like somethings ripping in half! Mileage is 79k, ish. It’s got me stumped, but to be fair I’m no mechanic…just have my experience to go on; but as it’s been checked and no issues 3 times (plus an...

Hi Forum, Looking for some advice please. I’ve got a very loud creaking sound coming from the front end. It doesn’t happen when running until I apply the brakes and/or turn a sharp-ish corner. It’s been through three different garages and had all components checked and nothing found as faulty...

Sounds like we have different issues as no matter what codes I removed, the count down continued. Will wait to see what my troubleshooting finds!

Indeed, but I don’t believe the counter can be reset, can it? I haven’t found anyone that was able to do that. Did you have it done?

I’ve now spoken to a gent called Andy @ ECUFlash.co (yes, it’s .co). He’s sorted me with coding out the “no restart” fault from my ECU. So I still have the reductant error codes in the ECU, but I don’t have the forced “no restart” errors flashing up. The AdBlue system is still in working order...

Ok, so ringing around (main dealer, indy-specialists, indys) it appears that nobody’s actually interested in doing a full diagnosis. Each one said the full system needs replacing. Am I the only one that finds this insane? There are multiple components in play; sensors, injector, pump, control...

Well I made it back with 10mikes to spare. Tried to clean the injector but it was spotless! Too clean in fact. So on to ringing around garages to take the hit.

So after A LOT of research today, I’m utterly confused and there doesn’t seem to be an answer as to what the exact issue is. Short of replacing everything at a juicy cost of over £2k. I’ve seen some threads out there that suggest the injector is the issue. The injector gets clogged and doesn’t...

Car went in to the garage to have suspension failure sorted, day after I get it back engine light comes on ‍:rage: Codes are: P06B1 - sensor power supply “A” circuit low P20E8 - reluctant pressure too low So great, AdBlue issues now! I’ve filled up the tank, and in my first drive today, I get...

Yeah I have the same. 2016 early B9 (which is actually still classed as a B8.5 according to my log book and weight plate!) Been the garage numerous times, had components replaced but nothing resolved it. Passed its most recent MOT as well. I’m just living with it now which is less than ideal...

Hi, did you find any good ones? Thanks

Nobody having this issue? Strange it’s just me!! But then typical of my luck with my A4

Hi Forum, Quick one; has anyone noticed their traffic sign recognition system seems to use the speed limit according to the sat-nav? Since the 20mph changes have come into effect in Wales, when I enter one of the new 20mph zones my traffic sign system displays 20mph correctly. But after about...

Thanks for the reply. Great tips. I’ve bought the “proper” butyl strip glue to use. As it’s my first (and hopefully only) time, I’m sticking to oem as close as possible! Also, the box and hairdryer is my method for removing the lens! I’ve got a heatgun, so will be using that for the heatsource...

Thanks Mate. I’ve done a bit of research and the theory of the lens replacement seems simple. Of course, the practical elements are so simple, but I’m quite handy with a sealant gun so… I’m going to have a go at a DIY repair. End of the day, if it goes sideways I have to get it pro...

Hi Forum, Discovered a lovely big crack in my driver side headlight lens this morning. I’ve just woken from passing out when I saw the replacement cost. Wow. Steep. I see that it might be possible to replace the lens. Has anyone done this, either themselves or by a company? Any info greatly...

Hi, Just an update on my side. Finally got some time yesterday to get working on this. I stripped everything down and found: 1. Very very dirty all round. Hubs, discs (non-contact points) & callipers all had significant build up. 2. Some very odd “imprints” of the pad on the disc, both sides...

It’s like you read my mind. I was wondering all through today how, if there is pad material on the disc, I would deal with it. Thanks again

Thanks; I hadn’t had a chance to read the link until this morning. Super informative. I’ll keep all of that heavily in mind.
