Weird... has it only just started doing it? Has anything else changed that you can think of?
-
Just to confirm are we talking about FM or DAB here?
-
Oh dear, such a pain when you get a list of error codes like this. I think you've just got to work through one at a time and try and get to the bottom of them unfortunately. Start with the easiest stuff first.
-
Haven't seen it Stacey? Looks like you didn't post it perhaps?
-
Hi Keith, welcome Stunning looking A5 - can I ask what car/brand you've come from?
-
Hi Darren, Sorry to hear about your car. I hope you get it back and they catch the low life scum that took it. Did they manage to get the keys?
-
Can't be too much in it on performance can there?
-
You can't argue with that... 155k and still drives pretty well! A testament to Audi's engineering!
-
The B8 is still not all that old so nothing too major as far as I know. Some people have reported high oil consumption on some models so that's probably worth checking for. Aside from that just the usual well cared for/lots of service history etc. What kinds of age/mileage are you looking at?
-
Sounds interesting I don't know anyone who's had it done personally though. Would be nice to hear the results if you get it done. Will you test the emissions before and after? How many miles has the car done?
-
Not got any on my work PC but I'll try and remember to grab a couple from home They do the S5 sportback now which is quite nice looks wise. Not quite the same as coupe but if you need the added practicality not bad I guess! I do always have a soft spot for an understated fast estate though so I'd probably do the same as you if I needed the added practicality. There's something cool about burning someone off the lights in a subtle looking estate car
-
Yes, it will be the alternator/drive belt has come off or snapped likely the alternator and power steering pump run on the same belt...
-
Hi Martin, welcome I briefly drove a Honda CRZ once and definitely agree with your comments. I'm sure it felt faster than it was though perhaps thanks to the hybrid? How are you finding the TFSI/DSG combo?
-
A bit of an upgrade then! I expect you're getting pretty decent fuel economy out of the A3 too?
-
Hi Jon welcome Nice A3, glad you made the move over to Audi! What did you come from?
-
Hi Stacey welcome to AOC I'm a big fan of the b7 RS4 and its aggressive body kit. I especially like yours in red with the black wheels... nice colour combo! Have you done many mods to it?
-
I'm in a 2008 S5 at the minute, the older one with the V8. Yes I'm not surprised that you find it doesn't turn as many heads but that's what Audi is often about being very understated yet classy. I bet it's also fun for you to surprise a few people at the lights who think it's "just another 2.0 TDI" Makes sense though if you weren't really driving the Z that much!
-
The bulb holder is a definite possibility. If it is one of those holders that twists out with the bulb still in place it's very common for them to get a dodgy connection. Probably worth pulling it out and taking a look and perhaps cleaning up the connections. It's usually the connections where the holder meets the car not the bulb meeting the holder if that makes sense.
-
I haven't unfortunately no. Let me know if you find out anything though...
-
I'm not 100% sure but I'm fairly confident the R32 seats will go straight in. Think they're basically the same as an RS4 anyway?
-
Come back and let us know how you get on
-
Could be.. Have you plugged in and scanned for fault codes?
-
Hi John, there will be two leads/adapters - one for the main harness and one for the aerial. I think the aerial lead is the "fakra" type...
-
Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the maps come from Audi on an SD card and are coded to your VIN number or something?
-
Hi David welcome to AOC Nice few cars you've had - loving the blue 370Z.... Bit of change going from a 370 to an estate.. why the move out of interest? Needed something more practical?
