    You won't believe this

    Yes I've had a similar experience except the whole unit swung away and was facing to the side of the car. The screw was missing. My cowboy garage had replaced a bulb 2 weeks before...

    BRAKE FAILURE

    Update. After 8 days Audi rang me to say they had changed the master cylinder and took the car out for a road test when the pedal locked down again after heavy braking. Had to have car recovered. Rather have it happen to them than me again... Clues anyone?

    BRAKE FAILURE

    Last week I had to carry out and emergency stop in my Y reg A4 2.0. Someone pulled out in front of me and had to give it everything... Yes stopped fine and very straight. But... the brake pedal stayed down with all four wheels locked tight. So there was me straddled across a busy T junction...

    Handbrake literally frozen on

    For the 3rd time this winter I have set off only to find the offside rear handbrake applied - literally frozen. The brake lever in the car is sloppy and clearly frozen in the applied position on one of the rear wheels only. The disk becomes red hot and the only remedy is to simply wait for it to...

    Sounds strange but try it...

    I managed to get the lights flashing at over 300 m last night. Sad innit?

    Sounds strange but try it...

    I was amazed by this but it truly works... Walk away from your Audi until you are just out of range of the key central locking. Walk another 10-20m.

    OIL CONSUMPTION

    Strange isnt it? Normally if an engine uses oil at the rate of a litre per 1000 miles you get tell tale clues ie drips on the drive or smoking exhaust when excellerating... Where the hell does it go?

    OIL CONSUMPTION

    Mine does not burn or drop it either. There must be some technowhizzkid out there that can enlighten us or do we all just accept it as normal in an Audi? Vorsprung durch Öl perhaps?
