After 6 years of owning the best car I've ever had, it's finally going next week. She's been traded in, sad times. After months of searching for a B8 3.0tdi, I just can't get anything within my budget, so reluctantly I've had to move to another brand. I want to thank all the guys on here who...

While changing my front pads today, I found a brake line corroded. I replaced it but now I have minimal braking, the pedal goes to the floor. I've bled the system several times but still nothing!!! Any ideas???

I've been looking at some Hawk ceramic front pads but they don't have wear sensors. How do I stop the brake warning being constantly on?

Can anyone tell me if the front anti roll bar is the same for all models in the B7 range?? Or a part number for mine would be useful if anyone has the parts list handy. The bolt has sheared and the tail is seized solid in there. I've tried to remove it in situ but it's not having it. While...

Seems as though my clutch may have started slipping, maybe it was just a one off but I'd rather get it done before it fails. Does anyone have any recommendations to a good supplier, make?? Also can anyone recommend a good garage in the East Midlands. Id rather do it myself but don't really...

I drove my car this morning, left it parked for 30 minutes, when I came to start it, nothing. Tried the spare key, in case the fob battery was flat, still no joy. Scanned with VCDS and the only faults it show are glow plug open circuits on 4 cylinders. When turning the key, it's as the the...

Where can I find info on recalls and technical issues??? My dads just got a 09 Q5 and there's a couple of things I need to check. Also, where would I find Audis official line on using the same tyres with a Quattro. Basically all four tyres are of different manufactures. I was always under the...

Hi guys, I'm over from the A4 section and wanted to tap in for some advice. My dad has just purchased a 09 Q5 from Audi Derby. He hasn't received the car yet. There's a couple of issues to clear up before the handover. All 4 callipers are badly corroded, apparently Audi are aware of this...

Yet another MOT sailed straight through, not bad for a car with 136k on it. It's the best car I've had by a long way......except for it needs yet another set of tyres !!!! I could have paid for another car with the money I've spent over the past 5 years of ownership. I plumped for some...

Just completed my 10k service using Castrol edge and gen Audi parts, including fuel filter (£60!!!!!!). I decided to clean the EGR valve, thinking with 130k miles it'd be clogged up. However when I removed the connectors, I was surprised to see the valve virtually spotless !!!! What I did find...

I'm getting the brake pad wear warning on constantly when driving but when I press the "check" button, it says everything "ok". Has anyone else had this???

Has anyone changed the rear springs on an Avant? I've got one broken and am going to tackle it myself, just wanted any hints or tips. Can anyone recommend any springs? I was thinking of going slightly lower.

My service indicator light is on and it won't reset. I've never had a problem before but this time I can't reset it via the dash buttons. I retrofitted DIS and cruise a couple of months ago, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. Any ideas???

Another post on the eternal tyre debate. I've just had 4 new Michelin Pilot Sport 3's fitted. I got them fitted at Costco, as they have an offer on at the minute (20% off) which took the sting out a bit and made them the same price as lesser ones. I was hoping to get Vredesteins again but...

Does anyone know the best place to get a steering pump? Ive had a ring round and the only place that seem to do them for my model is the main dealer and TPS. It's the same price at both places, £283 (which I don't think is too bad actually). It would just be nice to get one slightly cheaper. Cheers

Can anyone give me the part number for a power steering pump on my 05 3.0 Tdi? It sounds like it's on it's way out and I want to get another one before I start ripping the car apart. Thanks in advance.

I'd like to say a big thanks to Chris79, he spent 2 hours of his own time tonight, coding my DIS, Cruise and RNS-E. We had real trouble with the cruise and cluster nav display, finding the correct values page on VCDS and he really went out if his way to sort it. In the end we had to call it a...

I've just fitted cruise and DIS, i havent had time to get it coded yet though. The traction control light is permanently on now, is this normal? Will it disappear when the cruise and DIS are coded? It went off for about 8 seconds when i took it out for a spin but as soon as i braked, it came...

I got myself cruise control and Dis stalk from eBay, when it came, it had a slip ring with it. It's surplus to requirements but has no part number sticker on it. Is there any way of finding the part number for it, so someone else can benefit? Cheers

Has anyone used Custom Tuning in Bradford? They offer live mapping at a good price, and quote good power gains.
