    Yes, done under warranty, the only thing I can think of, is that it was a fault with the o/s/f outer brake pad from new, possibly, or the pad had picked something up, but the disc was scored right across the entire surface. on reflection, I noticed a mark on the disc when I picked the car up from new, but thought nothing of it at the time. (10 miles on clock) anyway, it is sorted now. regards Brian.

    I bought a brand new q3 35tfsi on 1st October, o/s/f brake disc getting badly scored. after only 200 miles. Carlisle Audi replaced both front disc on Friday, excellent service. really like the car so far. Brian.

    Hi Alan, I bought a new q3 4 weeks ago. on mine, you can switch the lane departure off, by pressing a switch at the end of the indicator stalk. you have to do this every time you go to pull away from startup. regarding the traffic speed warning, at the moment ,I haven't bothered to delve into it, although it can be annoying. (the salesman told me that the speed warning, could become mandatory in the future.) hope this helps Brian.

    Well I decided to bite the bullet, and treat myself to a new car, I now have a brand new Q3 35 TFSI S Line i.5 petrol.

    A new brake pad wear sensor cable should always be fitted when replacing the pads, if not, it could cause a bad connection where the end of the cable is connected to the brake pad, I have come across this problem in the past, worth a check. Brian.

    Hi Jezzer, Try your interior lights when it gets dark, on my A4, the lights will not come on until the light fades. worth a try. Brian.

    Hi Simon, regarding upgraded rear springs, I'm sorry, but i have never had the need for them, I would phone your local Audi dealer, and ask if they are available, and if so, try and get a part no, & price. as a starting point. good luck Brian.

    Hi, Simon, looks to me as if your n/s/r lower spring mounting rubber is on it's way out as well. by my observation. if you are going to replace both springs, now would be the time to replace that as well. (only trying to help) Brian.

    please correct me if I am wrong, but I heard from a reliable source, that audi have altered the brake balance between the front and rear, on my a4 allroad with 34,000 miles, the front pads are hardly half worn,where as the rears are getting quite low, ( the rear's are both free as I strip them from time to time) and i am not heavy on the brakes. regards Brian.
  11. dalswinton
    If it was me, I would take off a rear wheel, and check them myself, then if the pads need changing, I would go to an independant audi workshop. Brian.

    audi quoted him £600. initially, and said it may be covered by the warranty, which it was, so a vast saving. (one happy brother) kind regards Brian.
  13. dalswinton
    it would appear that it's not all doom & gloom at audi, my brother has a a4 allroad b9 2017, a broken n/s/r spring was found when in for service last week, audi are going to replace it under warranty. he is covered by (audi all in) cost £600. good news indeed.
  14. dalswinton
    I had the same problem at my last mot, o/s/r was breaking up. I had it replaced by an independent audi garage for £176. in my opinion, audi dealer prices have now become extortionate.
  15. dalswinton
    Hi, I am sure that the Audi warranty covers cars up to 8 years old. I have the( Audi All In) which includes services, mot, and roadside assistance. as yet, I haven't had to use the warranty. hope this helps.

    Hi, I had the same problem on my 2017 a4 allroad last year, same place, o/s/r lower, I had mine replaced at an independent v w garage at just over £100. p.s. my brother, who has the identical car had his go as well on the o/s/r/ seems funny it is always the o/s/r. that goes.

    Hi, Great car, I had one in the same colour ,I kept it for 4 years, it never missed a beat. I'm sure you will be very happy with it. I now have the b9 model, another great car. all the best Brian.

    Hi Mohammad, If it's any help to you, I have a a4 allroad with the S Tronic gearbox, oil change is at 38,000. miles. Brian.

    If giddy 72 can't tell the difference between the diesel & the ad blue filler caps, I'm afraid it' looks like a trip to specsavers LOL.
  20. dalswinton
    Hi, I have looked at your pics, and your q5 reqs add blue, just remove the filler cap to top it up. p.s. an indicator light in the dashboard should let you know when to top it up. hope this helps Brian.

    Hi, It could be that the wire into the brake pad has become dislodged, I had the same problem a while ago. worth a look. Brian.
  22. dalswinton
    very nice
  23. dalswinton
    Hi Bendella, A good tip is to give the ball joints a good coating of anti seize grease, this will prevent any further trouble. hope this helps. Brian.
  24. dalswinton
    Hi, If it is the 7 speed S Tronic gearbox fitted to your car, Then the oil & filters should be changed at 35,000. miles. Brian.
  25. dalswinton
    Hi, According to my last service printout, S Tronic gearbox oil change due at 38,000. miles. but audi may have changed it in the past 12 months. the rest of your check list looks ok to me. Regards Brian.
