  1. Try e-bay there seem to be numerous but you would have to check that they are the correct part.
  2. Hi Steve, I don't actually have my Audi yet, it's to be delivered next month but I tried what you were saying on my Mini Countryman. With auto lights switched on but the lights not on if I switch the rear fog lights on nothing happens but if I switch the front fog lights on the front fog lights and the head / tail lights come on. this seems a bit weird to me I would have thought the rear fog lights were more important than the front fog lights. Not sure that this answers your question though.
  3. Hi Steve, I've not been out to my car yet today to check but I would imagine that it will work the same, I don't think any car I've ever owned has been able to switch the fog lights on without any other lights being on, I'm not sure why you would want to. In fog the auto lights do not always switch the lights on as there can still be enough brightness.
  4. Thanks Steve.
  5. Hi, I have been looking on here for a wee while and thought I should introduce myself. About ten days ago I ordered a tango red Q2 35 TFSI Black edition S-tronic which is spec'd with 5 arm rotor wheels, HUD and some other comfort and assistance goodies. I was told it could take over 3 months for delivery but at the beginning of this week I was given the good news that it looks like they have managed to get a Q2 which is being manufactured, but had not been sold, modified to the spec. that I want. Hopefully this will work out, the dealer hoped the delivery would be about the end of March. Cheers Andy
  6. The TT Mountain Course is good especially the section from Ramsay to Douglas over the mountain (Snaefell).
  7. Hi Hazel, thats great, as long as it's fixed now. Andy
  8. Hi Hazel. I hope you have got the problem sorted out by now but this could be what was causing it. I have seen this problem with motorbikes and it's been down to either the way the pads are setup or the way the pads have worn, obviously not reversing but just pushing the bike backwards.. The problem was basically that the back of the pads friction material was slightly closer to the disc than the front which is ok when your moving forwards arguably actually better but the problem is when your reversing the front of the pad friction material (actually it's the back of the pad but your reversing) is closer to the disc first which can cause a screeching noise, this happens because when your not braking the pads are very lightly touching the disc and because it's the front face of the pad touching the disc it causes a vibration. Putting grease between the piston and pad can help the problem but obviously thats not helped you so i would ask for the dealer to remove the pads and check the making sure they have not worn unevenly. If you put your foot lightly on the brake the noise will go away. Andy
