Oh the joys of a failing battery … even that isn’t simple anymore 🤔😂

So changed oil and filter just now. Sump is bone dry. No loss of revs removing oil filler cap with engine running. No engine management lights Scanned with VCDS nothing untoward there (couple of none related faults) No smoke from exhaust Ive manged to source an OEM valve which should be here within a few days as apposed to the 10 days from Audi UK Watch this space as they say .

leave as is. Is an extra 25bhp going to make much difference anyway?. Future classic for sure.

Im on 125k miles. Ive put 20k on it in 2.5 years. More or less resigned myself to the fact its the rings but obviously im trying the cheap fix first. Im due an oil change so ill see if theres any leaks from the sump... its been bone dry the last couple ive done.

Im not sure steve, it was just a direct replacement. Im thinking of putting the original valve back in until Audi can get me an OEM replacement.

2012, 1.4 tfsi Im topping up the oil more than i used too...seemingly a common issue with these engines . To start with, its worth replacing the PCV valve apparently. In the absence of Audi UK not having stock i opted for an unbranded aftermarket replacement. On reaching home after my commute this evening, i noticed a flute like noise coming from the valve/hose?! Ive attached a short video clip ... any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Nobody in particular. Just a personal view on charging Ev’s especially when your on route to a relaxing holiday

Thanks for keeping us updated. Check back in a week or two once you have put some miles on her

When you say “large boxes” are you referring to the sections on either side, behind the grey panels?

how did you go on here ?
