  1. this happens to all audis with rear wipers at some stage
  2. hi paul,sorry to hear about your situation and hope you get satisfaction at some stage of this whole process,i just want to commend you on the way youve gone about this from the start and you certainly deserve better treatment from audi/vw group. if its any consolation its the very same here in ireland with the way they treat customers,the brand name has really gone down the pan in the last few years.i wish you the best of luck and hopefully all the effort you put into this will pay off eventually.Greg
  3. autoglm do a very good restoration kit and its simple to use.Greg
  4. yes steve it couldve been a very expensive outcome
  5. hello everyone,im just putting this up as it may interest some people.i got the tb and wp done over a year ago on my 2016 a6 2.0 avant ultra,i sold it to my daughter {very cheaply!}about 9 months ago and last weekend she was hearing an odd noise,i checked it and could find nothing wrong so she brought it to a local mechanic whos very good with german cars{he wasnt the man who replaced the timing belt last year} he removed the tb cover to discover a small bolt had come off one of the pulleys and was flying around inside the casing,it damaged the belt badly and hes now replacing it,we were lucky it didnt get stuck between the belt and the pulley,anyway suffice to say i wont be using the original mechanic again,ive attached photos of the belt and the little bolt.Greg
  6. keep us posted as to how you get on
  7. hopefully its sorted and the smell will go away once you give it a few drives
  8. hi darragh i dont have a pic of the pipe but thats the one i changed alright,it had a hairline crack on it and the car is fine since,they are a common fault i was told by an audi mechanic,
  9. hi darragh i had the same issue on a 14 A5 and it was the pipe just under the egr valve,its shaped like a horseshoe and a pig of a pipe to change especially the 2 bolts at the back,it solved my problem tho,is this the same pipe you changed?Greg
  10. yes its a 2015 A5 2.0 tdi,that was about six months ago and the car is fine since then
  11. i think steve is right,a friend of mine had the same sympoms as you and it was the control unit that needed replacing,it was under the carpet behind the drivers seat.Greg
  12. hi chris,the only issue ive had really is water getting into the rear light fittings,which is a common fault on these,replacement bulb holders are getting very scarce too so check yours for corrosion and see what condition theyre in,make sure the waterdrains on both sides of the boot are clear of any dirt,this will allow rain water to flow away rather than sit in the boot rubber and seep into the taillight cluster.Greg
  13. welcome to the forum,lovely car,ive the same model for the last 9 years so feel free to ask any questions and ill help if i can.Greg
  14. i also have a 2014 a5,no problem except i had to replace the egr cooler,cost 450 euro inc labour,a great car to drive.Greg
  15. very nice car,the best of luck with it.Greg
  16. well done,a good result
  17. hi cliff.id say hes talking about the high pressure fuel pump.Greg
  18. the car needs to be plugged into vcds to reset inspection interval.Greg
  19. its been a very interesting thread to follow,im looking forward to seeing it finished,youve really done great work on it
  20. a tip is to remove the wheel and wheel arch lining on the side you are doing and loosen the wing around the headlight,it doesnt take too long and its well worth doing it to avoid scratching the new headlight
  21. hi jim,yes its a simple plug in and play,i recently replaced headlight on my a5,it was 720 euro,theyre not a cheap unit.Greg
  22. very very nice car,the best of luck with it.Greg
  23. hi pete yes the glass needs to be removed and some small screws to remove the cowl,its fiddly and a delicate job but can be done easily,check out a you tube video before you start.Greg
