thanks to everyone on this forum. I just replaced the sensor and its working as good as new again. I count myself lucky that I came across this forum when I did. only 130euro and problem solved

Thanks Gareth. I'd be hoping for around £2,999 to be honest given the condition and mileage- it really is a lovely car. thanks!

Have you tried Audi heritage? Only problem is that they won't ship to the UK. So only way to get parts is if you have a fridge living in Europe who can ship the part to you.

I use the car main on motorways some days I do over 700 miles travelling to different airports and ports though out the UK my service light comes on every 10000 miles . I service it my self as fully qualified hgv technician back in the day . So I only pay for parts not labour

So wee update on this, I also had a very rough idle which got worse when coming to a stop and felt like the car was trying to pull forward and a washing machine on spin, I have fitted new injectors and set the lash correctly, no more rough idle when coming to a stop and doesnt feel like its trying to pull forward now strange one🤷‍♂️

Quick update , contacted pendle performance, apparently the vibration is due to wrong fueling and values of the map so easy fix hopefully , booked in next Wednesday , keep ya posted 🙂👍

I doubt that anybody can help unless you give a lot more detail, such as amplifier make & model, and which wires you connected to which terminals, and what radio you are connecting them to.

dpf and egr are the biggest risk factors. The after that turbo and injectors. However well serviced diesel's can last along time. My a6 c5 2.5tdi has never missed a service from new and been over serviced if anything. Before engine went bang it had covered 344k miles. It was on its second turbo and original injectors. I'm putting a replacement engine in it now.

Hi Raffa I used to own a 2.2 Diesel Mondeo but in the end I sold it because I was sick of being told or reading about DMF failure which was always a four figure number to repair. I had mine mapped and removed the DPF and I used to drive it like a !Removed!. Not heard anything about A3 failures but as Magnet said I would definitely get a second opinion from somebody you trust if you can

Hello Rafa, It sounds as if your garage has diagnosed the start of a failing dual mass flywheel (DMF). If so, it is likely to get worse, so if it were mine, I would treat this with respect, and get a second opinion. Sorry to be pessimistic, but if this is correct, it is quite a expensive repair, since the gearbox has to be removed, and it would be wise to invest in a new clutch assembly while it is out. What mileage has it covered by the way? Kind regards, Gareth.

Registered with Partsfinder etc. Jack? Also worth advertising in Classic Car Weekly, and other classic car publications. Can you take a photo of the part? Kind regards, Gareth.
