  1. well my Audi is now sold, thank you all for your help in the past. Tony
  2. yes very easy in the end, front comes off, crash bar comes off, i had no gass in mine so just disconected it, fitted the new one and re fitted it all.
  3. Have ordered a lug repair kit, seems to be a lot cheaper.
  4. had to take the bumper off today to remove and refit a new air con condenser and found a dead bird up along side my headlight, its broken the fixing lug, iv'e looked on line but there seems to be so may different types, can anyone help at all? WG08VNJ Le Mans S line thank you
  5. Had to bleed the whole system through before I could get a pedal, not a single air bubble but it worked after bleeding.
  6. 2008 2.7 Le Mans S Line after some help please, did the service on my car yesturday and no problems at all, but i did notice that all the discs were looking well worn, so today i have changed all four discs and pads, only problems i had were the little grub screw that holds the disc on had no grip on them, some one had over tightened them and took out the hex pattern, all four had to be drildes out and replaced, other than that no problems, reset the park brake using my ICarsoft, then i went for a drive...... two imeadiate problems. 1) - absolutley no brake pedal on the first push... works fine on the second push, drove a bit further and the sme thing happened again......... any advice please? 2) - No ESP, see handbook warning light, i am assuming this will go off after a few miles of driving it? but again any thoughts please? thanks Tony
  7. Where will I find the engine code please?
  8. have tried LLL and again it has seven (7) pictures showing brake disscs for my vehicle after inputing my vin number all different sezes, think the only way forward is to take the discs off and measure them then re fit them and go buy new ones.... what a palarvour...
  9. They certainly don't make it easy, just been onto eurocar parts, entered my reg number and looked up front discs, they list about 8 different discs of different sizes! What's the point of putting your reg in if the list them all?
  10. I do keep a record of miles on paperwork in a folder along with the receipts, problis I am replying to this from work and don't have the paperwork in front of me.
  11. Yes, always have done my own servicing.
  12. Time to check the filters
  13. To be honest without looking at the filters (I write the date and mileage on them) I don't know.
  14. I have an 08 2.7 le mans saloon, I last did a service when I bought it on 22nd May 22, how often does it need a service? And will I get a service light come up? Cheers Tony
  15. Try this web site, enter you vin number and you can view drawings and schematics, will also bring up all part numbers. https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/
  16. as per the tittle really, what is this bit of trim called please? mine has a slit in it caused by the seat belt keep rubbing. thanks Tony
  17. my gases have already leaked out as the condeensor fitted has a split.
  18. As per title, need to replace my condenser, no gas left in it so no need to drain system down, can anyone give me some instructions on replacement please, cannot find video or instructions anywhere.
  19. Took my Le Mans to be re gassed as the air con wasn't working, I assumed there was a fault, originally told the pump was faulty, new pump bought and fitted...wasn't cheap, then I was told that the switch / sensor was bypassing air, so again new switch / sensor, again wasn't cheap, NOW they say the air con condenser is leaking.... £250+ to fix it, I can buy an original condenser for £55.00 there's no gas in the system at the moment, surely it's just bumper off, remove old condenser, fit new one and refit bumper? Anyone changed a condenser before? Any pointers? Cheers Tony
  20. £455.00 cheapest so far.... oh and plus extra for electrics and reprograming of system...
  21. thank you, just trying to find a towbar thats not going to break the bank.
  22. Looking for a tow bar and wiring kit for a 2008 le mans saloon, looked on ebay but there are so many on ebay I don't know which to buy, anyone got one for sale on here?
  23. After a couple of near misses I have decided to fit front and rear dash cameras, has anyone else done this and got any advice? Cheers Tony
  24. not a moan, just what i have done this week. it's on it's 3rd parking sensor module, first one didn't work so i took the nubers off it and bought a second hand one, that one didn't work was for an auto estate with towing pack, bought a brand new one from Audi using the part number from my original fitted one, still didn't work, contacted Volkstech in Maltby near me, told them the story and they told me that the module was the wrong module, seems the owner before me just bought any old module and fitted it, took it down to them today, they have managed to get my new module working with heads up display for rear parking sensor but unfortunatley can't get the front ones working as the module i have is a 4 port module and mine needs a 5 port module, so i have ordered yet another new one with the correct part number and hopefully that will sort that problem. (no Audi would not take the new one back i bought from them as i told them the part number) have taken it to be re gassed on the aircon today only to be told that my condenser has stopped working, so now i need to get that sorted. https://www.volkstechltd.co.uk/
  25. i can't even get into the hidden menu on mine, key in the ignition (not turned on) press and hold the car and set up, counted to ten, then tried thirty still nothing 🤕
