thanks steve just waiting for the part from audi hope i dont get stuck doing the timing.i like a challenge i did the timing on the volvo that was straight forward enough i will post pics of that sometime this week.ps i tried opening a message in my hotmal about the thermostat replacement and it then disappeared was it from you ?...sorry all having to go out will be back later

oh my word steve thank you for enlighting me and others with your knowledge we are very grateful it now puts my mind at ease.kind regards stephen.ps just waiting for a garage to get back to me to see when they can book me in for the front wishbone arms and timing doing including the water pump

update.....1st may, battery still dry.😁i wont mark it as a solution as it may come back and bite me.😉 ...update 5th may been chucking it down overnight and this morning. no water on top of the battery or down the sides at all so marked as solution...here is a picture(2) of where one of 2 air vents are in the boot recess.i sealed round the edges.(had to take the bumper off to do them)at least no water gets in cubby holes now where i store the first aid kit etc or anywhere else in the boot.so marked as solution as unsure whats what

all i can suggest is ring audi with the reg here is a pic from the owners manual audi b8 with writing highlighted

thats great steve thank you just one thing do you know what the part is called so i can look on eBay and order one if need be thanks
