Hi, I have tried many different ideas to stop water getting into the boot cavity. So, I recently covered all the joints between the boot liner and the boot with duct tape and left it for several weeks. Great, no water in the cavity. During the recent weeks I have started removing sections of the tape to see when the leak started again. This process took a while to do. I have now only tape on the side of the boot and around the rear of the light cluster, see photos. We’ve had no rain of late so will remove one of these and see what happens when it rains again. So far, no water in the cavity. Anybody who tries this, and it works, or doesn’t please let me know. Regards Ian IMG_0830.HEIC IMG_0958.HEIC

Stranger here but no stranger to Audi, have had a number going back years - the last one an A8 4.0TDi - prior to that an A6 Avant, fancied a change so deserted to Jaguar having been a Jag fan since I got my first long trousers but could never afford one- yeh I am ancient. Anyhow After 9 years in Jaguars - an ZF SV8 and an XJL I've had enough, the itch has been scratched, I was going to get into a Bentley or even a Rolls but I happened upon something that interested me. Bottom line I just dropped some coin on a 2015 S4 black edition Avant which is currently in 'preparation', car is already stage 1, just getting a full service and a couple of jobs done. I've had a VAG product in some shape or form for the last 30 or so years - we also run a Passat B7 Estate - but a sensible 2.0TDi - I don't know how many here work on their own vehicles but I try to do 90% of my own stuff, have owned VCDS for a very long time, never had to code anything as I always had a tame VW tech in my pocket that had the access to handle such things, alas he retired and is no longer able. Anyhow happen I'll be around for a bit to see what the scene here is like.

Yes V12 HE - 1987

Hello All, It's my first post here, but I've often got good advice from here already. In the past I owned a 1999 A4 B5 which I had for 10 years, it was a really reliable car. Currently I have a 2014 A6 C7 S-line, owned it for 6 years now, it's a very good car too, and a pleasure to drive. I just recently bought a hobby fixer upper, a 2003 A4 B6 Avant, AWX 130 bhp engine, that needs a bit of work alright.....gearbox, subframe etc. I'll be annoying a few people with questions about that one. Cheers

Just an update, it's all back to working fine now. Thought I would give the battery a charge and change the fob battery and try once more. Cluster was still dead but pressed the left button for date adjustment on the cluster and held it for a while and it jumped back to life. Still not sure what happened but fingers crossed it doesn't happen again

Hi Gareth the place was Newtown Accident Repair Services which is located close to where I live Contact number is 01443 217839

Not yet, when it rains next I will

Hello, sorry for not replying for so long. The price was cheaper around 4000euro then if I was to buy the car from a dealer. But I didn’t end up buying it. The dirt everywhere and space between the bumper and rest of the body just seemed too risky for me. But thanks for all the help and hope you guys have a lovely new year. T.

Hi Gareth, Might sound a bit weird but the car kind of just fixed itself. I've only occasionally had the issue of it popping up with low battery but it's been working fine since.

Final update on the post guys. Pirelli’s fitted Saturday 06/01/24. Tracking done 08/01/24 locally and original price for x4 wheel alignment was £70. On the day it turned out rear wheel alignment was ok so only front wheels needed doing for £35 ! I can definitely say the handling and ride is better with the new tyres and also quieter. Total cost in the end for x4 Pirelli Powergys and tracking = £450. 😎😎😎

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 funnily enough we're a Jag and audi family.

Think the holes in the seals is normal
