Evening all, I have purchased an Audi S3 2008 a few weeks ago shortly after purchasing it I got EML on with no Running Issues. I got it Scanned and code P1564. When the garage scanned it and tried to reset throttle body, it couldn’t be completed. Does any one have any experience with this? Or...

Hi, I’m hoping someone can assist - we currently have a 2011 RS5 in for an unusual issue. Every so often you can get the car to cruise by itself, usually in 5th gear the revs will hold at 1500rpm and the car will coast at 30mph without touching a pedal. It’s not every time and seems more...

Hello all, Past couple days my car's developed a noise, bit with no other symptoms. Last service was 3,500 miles ago. Thought it might be the cambelt wearing at first but I've identified where the noise is coming from (check video). As you can see it's the plastic popping in and out as the...

Hi Guys, I’m in dire need of a good call out mechanic that would be able to do a tiny bit of engine work on my A3 (2004 2.0t tfsi) around the croydon or south London way would be ideal. If anyone knows of anyone who’s not gonna perform major open wallet surgery it would be much appreciated...

Hi all. My Audi A3 1.6 petrol engine has been hunting (over-revving when idling) for a few years now. Last year it was an issue in the MOT as the mechanics found it hard to get it to idle at low enough revs to pass the emissions test. The garage have looked into it and have suggested it could...

Hi, looking for a bit of help is anyone can .. so my 59 plate B8 A4 2.0 tdi has been acting up the last few weeks. I’ve had it on the diagnostics and apparently it was injector 4 needing replace. The garage has sent away my injectors to test and it’s came back injector 4 faulty. So the garage...

Hi folks, how's things? I have a very loud Scraping / Grinding sound on front of my engine. The noise is external, as apposed to inside the block. It could be coming from either the timing area, the serpent belt adjuster, one of the pumps or the Alternator, I can't work out which. The first 3...

I have recently got an A6 2013 which has a judder when pulling away in first, i can feel a lot of vibration through the gear stick but nothing noticeable through the clutch pedal. The issue seems worse when the engine is warm and i also don’t experience the same vibrations when reversing. could...

Hi Guys, Was thinking of getting a stage 1 engine and DSG map but pretty unsure how reliable/safe this is to do... anyone had any issues with pushing more power? Also the exhaust, how does it work? I want the pops and bangs but not that silly soundaktor adding fake noise. When put into dynamic...

So, this is kind of a noob question, probably, but my A6 had an engine swap in February last year, after the previous owner somehow managed to blow up an N/A V6. Still a mystery to me how that might happen... Anyway, the engine hoist hooks/eyelet thingies are still on the engine, and I have to...

everyone, i have 0 luck with this car. My turbo exploded and split in half, i wasn't even giving it some! No power and loads of smoke (obviously) before the car was turned off for the last time it started revving loads. swapped turbo and went to start the car and nothing. No click, nothing...

Hey guys. i’m in need of some advice for my 1.8 b8. Timing chain has become slack and has rotated camshaft out of time by 90 degrees. car has been inspected by local audi. obviously car won’t start now due to damage to cyclinder head i presume. does anyone know how much this will cost to put...

Havn't seen this procedure described anywhere but I thought it should work and it has made a huge difference to the power of my diesel engine. I had no way of timing the two cam shafts to the bottom crank of the engine as on my Audi A3 there is no room to see or use sprocket locks on the crank...

I've seen a few pics on here now of some red engine trim/covers, are these buyable or have they just been made custom by the individuals?
