Has anyone removed the MAP sensor in the throttle valve area on the CREC engine? It looks considerably more difficult to access on the CREC than it does on the CAKA videos which I have seen. Also, and again unlike the CAKA, I'm presuming the supercharged has to come off to get access to the...

I've been watching a few different video guides on the DSG service and in this one (below) I notice that he doesn't shift through the gears whilst waiting for it to warm up. Will this mean the transmission will end up being underfilled, or will the level be ok but just that there will still be...

I've got a strange rubbing noise coming from what seems like my front o/s wheel and can't figure it out. It's can get quite loud at times and it's not a constant noise so don't think it's a wheel bearing, but it's a rhythmic one so I'm more inclined to think pad related. One of the caliper...

I've been noticing a strange noise as the revs drop when letting off the throttle and thought it was my brake dust shield that I believe the recent tyre fitters may have damaged. But I fixed that today and the noise is still there, even when stationary. Here's a video, it's that noise just as...

Would anyone be able to help out with the part numbers for the front and rear shocks please as I'm seeing quite a few part numbers. I'm not sure if I trust ECP because I've been caught out before (different car) where their stuff wasn't correct and I only discovered it after stripping down the...

Just wondering if anyone could offer up some advice please. I've previously mentioned on here that my S4 B8.5 came with a full Audi Main Dealer service history, but they never did the DSG fluid. I got the car with 60k miles on the clock and did the DSG fluid and external filter straight away...

Does anyone run All Season tyres? I've been considering it is a while now, but I'm wondering if I would notice the difference in warm weather compared to good summer tyres. I've probably never pushed the car to its limits with cornering and rarely even try as the roads are so bad. I've got All...

Just got a text from my wife saying that there's footage gone nationwide of me in my blue Audi speeding on the Clydeside Expressway in Glasgow - a road I use daily and sometimes I do go a little quick because people pander about on it and hog the outside lane...

I've noticed the rear of the car has been getting progressively more jarring when going over bumps and it's now uncomfortable. Can't blame the car, the roads here are literally criminally bad. I'm putting it over the pit tomorrow to change the front ARB bushes in the hope that this is the...

I have this problem for quite a while, it's a little annoying and I've found others online with the same problem with various ideas on the solution, so I've learnt to drive around it for the time being. When under 2000rpm if I accelerate with light to moderate power it seems to lose power for...

Thought it worth a mention to save anyone getting done, but it seems that dashcam footage can be used to calculate speed and prosecute. Very surprising considering the police need calibrated and Home Office approved equipment, but here's a few links. I'm guessing it will only be the worst...

Looking for some advice please for the S4 B8.5. I've done the dual clutch fluid and now looking to do the rear diff and gearbox inc. associated as preventative maintenance. I'm hitting 70k miles now. Could anyone confirm that these are the correct fluids and volumes? I'm leaning towards just...

Just wondering, does anyone here flash other people if you don't like their driving? I've had this a few times, usually some self righteous hypocrite who is doing half the speed limit and gets hurt when you overtake them on a long, straight, empty road at night and blinds the hell out of you...

Changing discs and pads all round today, fronts went fine but had trouble with the rear. I released the handbrake and used my icarsoft tool to retract the caliper pistons and I could hear this happening. After 60 seconds I got to work on the rear n/s, however, the rear piston didn't seem fully...

I find the undertray a bit of a pain to remove, especially as I do my oil changes using drive on front ramps (on a sloped driveway to get it level). Would it be feasible to cut out a small section to gain access to the sump drain plug, maybe even fashion a little hinge or something? Or would...

Was doing my mid year and much needed oil change when I spotted this part lying loose on the undertray. I couldn't find anywhere where it would go and the number doesn't seem to return any results. It looks like a small rubber mount of some sort, maybe like a radiator type mount which allows a...

I've had a few occasions of a long beep and then the sensors stop working before coming to life again the next day, but yesterday I got the long beep and still nothing. Tried cleaning the sensors but still nothing, so I suspect maybe one has failed (and hopefully not the module) which hopefully...

A bit of a strange one this and I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for what to check first so I can start a process of elimination. When accelerating with just a moderate amount of power sometimes I get a weird stutter, only for a split second and often only just once...

Age old question I guess, but what are people's thoughts on regular vented or drilled and also slotted discs? I've got drilled discs on the front at the moment but they are nearing the end of their life and I also don't know what brand they are. I'll probably do the rears as well. They do make...

My lower control arms need replacing so I went to get the 034 Motorsport lower control arm M14 kit but it seems there are massive stock shortages in both the UK and USA with predicted eta of late November :openmouth:. I've found a Meyle kit in America which seems to be in stock (part no...
