Thanks Gareth, I have started a log as you suggest and the oil was bought from an Audi dealer (with a spare for futur use), I've not experienced a bedding in period as you suggest but I'll take that into consideration. Cerianly I'll keep the Forum updated Kind regards Bob

lol thats my logic too gareth check oil when cool....but funny enough the car wont let me have a reading unless under certain circumstances

Unfortunately the hose wasn't screwed in, it was a solid compression fitting. My partner solved the problem by fabricating a single piece of brake pipe (left over from building his trike). He has a flaring kit, so cut off the fittings on the old pipe and put them on the new one. After much cursing and swearing, taking out the driver's seat, all the foot pedals falling apart, he eventually got it all fitted back together, and it works brilliantly. He says he needs to bleed the system again to make sure there's no air left, but we've been using it since July 29th. Thanks for all your suggestions. Jacqui

Yes, it's why I avoided the Quattro but it sounds like you'll definitely benefit from it in the winter. The Cataclean and Archoil are great for the fuel system and DPF, but for the EGR cooler the main contributer being the AdBlue so no amount of fuel system cleaner will negate that, but it should help delay from the perspective of the fuel contributers.
