Hi if you get the DPF/EGR removed or deleted you will be forever getting dash warnings, no one has yet come up with a software that can delete the low pressure cooler which is I suspect the reason you are considering this route, please observe the following, if you remove the main EGR you raise both cylinder head temperatures as well as the turbo temperatures as the gas will be a lot hotter, this will also raise Nox1 emissions which the sensors in the exhaust stream will pick up hence the lights on the dash, I am pretty sure the code you have is p2002 particle filter bank one above threshold, the DPF is not itself blocked just the cooler, I have had a couple of these apart, also try and disseminate between the cooler and the main EGR which rarely gives trouble also might be worth looking at on site cleaning /mobile where they come to you and run cleaning solution through the exhaust system via the sensor hole on the cat. Steve.

Approx 1k miles, stil not dropped yet. Impressed. My old BMW would be nagging me to add a litre at that point 😄

Hi Mark, the gearbox oil change is easy enough drain plug at the bottom filler on the side, the trick bit is making sure you undo the filler plug first as they tend to be a real sod to get out if you drain it first and then can't get the filler out you are up poo creek, the Haldex is a different matter as you need the kit with the filter and oil, a word to the wise Haldex pumps have a filter screen on the pump so its worth taking it out and cleaning, on replacement put new seals on the entry neck of the pump or it will leak.

I took my Audi A4 Avant 35 TDI (purchased last August) into Derby Audi for the battery to be checked in February. Had a couple of instances where the lights didn't come on in a morning and the car seemed to struggle to start. Alternator was fine but the battery was found to be defective. They said it was not covered under warranty. I said it doesn't matter, as per S.19 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, a fault which occurs within 6 months is taken to have been there on the day it was handed to the buyer. Any arguments about wear and tear are therefore nullified. They said they would talk to the sales manager to see if they will cover the cost. Well it's either that or see you in court. 👋 Audi called back to say their sales department would foot the bill as per my request and it was fitted yesterday. Would have been £508 all in if I had been paying. Good result.

Hello Will, For mechanical parts, you can always send your registration number to Car Parts in Motion - down your neck of the woods. Always worth a try. Kind regards, Gareth.

ha ha,your not wrong stephen ,they certainly know how to charge.

Hi Sean Wheel arrived and fits OK👍 It's a 19" but it has the same rolling radius as the 17" wheels My only slight concern is that it's resting on the battery cables, so as shown in the photos as a temporary fix I've cut up a few pieces of carpet which are now taking the weight. Will get some hard foam for a permanent fix (if the factory under wheel foam takes the weight I might source one of those) Note - you have to junk the tyre gunk and compressor container
