Hello,
Just signed up. Audi virgin but know a bit about cars generally.
Bought this car just before Xmas. has many issues but I still like it!
Have been advised to sell it before incurring more cost but decided I like it enough to work through the issues, they are as follows:
Engine light doesn't come on. Assume someone had disconnected it. Car spews loads of white smoke in traffic and computer says 20.4 MPG so I assume is likely to be working on some type of limp-home mode. Can I check the light in any way? Where would someone pull a plug to disable the light?
Left hand side exhaust flexi pipe completely knackered., very noisy and looks like might fall apart unless I do something soon! Is there a bodge for this using a universal flexi? If so where do I buy? The Audi part is of course ridiculously expensive.
Where best to buy replacement Lambda sensors?
Trivial but nonetheless important what fluid should I use in the PAS system? I have the Owner's Manual but it refers me to my Audi Dealer for this info.
thanks in advance
Chris
