With his attitude that may be a very long wait.

Ctek have a very good reputation. From my Skyline days a lot of owners used to have them connected up for the show cars. I've been using the NoCo Genius 10 on my previous Mondeo and now on the Q5. As standard it comes with croc-clips, but you can get an eyelet connector (or unscrew the croc clips) which can be bolted to the battery permanently and then you just plug in the NoCo charger when you need it.

Sounds like the problem I had with my Mondeo. You could start filling up but the pump would constantly click off. Eventually got so bad that fuel would be blown out the fill pipe and over me. That was due to the charcoal canister being blocked, the fuel tank couldn't empty the vapours through the canister so it was pressurising when filling up.

Hope it all fit's ok for you Dave 👍

8R0807819H or 8R0807819H 1RR (same cover but in platinum grey) They should be the part number you need https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204873968501?_skw=8R0807819H&itmmeta=01JK98F4R6J36J3S64YAYTFVES&hash=item2fb370ab75:g:dvsAAOSwRHNmhAAI&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkFGzie31iNsi68%2BL49Lg0o6phKDsVpQ0Q5zkgk48RBOfGN5dt7UiLaXkbx%2Fd0Psp%2FCLoHNEnX%2B%2FkoMvVq3yARU4G0oR2X2NzvgInPbBf8nglJuMe2XC4CqM4gQmZKOG%2FH7GbyHWvyiKCliJiaj%2FRqHkrQLb7VL62LODY1RobnqAjuoGwx9GYikSRCZsmkMyHA65hmA7r6BsHHz1tksVQItuWX%2FNUgLRFSfA%2BycUBMsBTMNDh6B6DcvdpoAi9Ptzx0%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR57MvKiaZQ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404403072178?_skw=8R0807819H&epid=1119758931&itmmeta=01JK98F4R6P1SQPSQE0KSFKVY2&hash=item5e284d2cb2:g:qf4AAOSwzhxkwM1R&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKm1%2FX%2BgrdkssRngJOv4VRgy48scL2ZBnDZPBhDx9We5cL0qRU2fvxRbH28Xh2yneynYK%2FhZTpjmRVH6ccMUwmFDQ6EV3iUMSk3i0Y8Gg%2BO6ajGLf7WWTS%2BT3htRNrGR9LpqvJ1NP7F%2Bj3CdBaGYAHfg6fYoN4XO0X7aTTMxGL9BdmoDrEvGchKKVhtALLZf%2FOqT3VriLsind0wbAOI14AcdEiK0bup4hZFUMgokQgC3iIa6pYM%2Bxfb4izDEkEQH7Vw%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6DMvKiaZQ Hope that's of some help to you.

Can you tell me which of these PR codes are on your options sticker? It's stuck on he plastic trim/hatch that covers the battery. 2K3 2K4 2K7 2K8 VJ2 VJ3 VB0 VB1 They all relate to what type of rear bumper you have and should narrow down the part number your after.

Looks like it should fit. Have a look at - https://www.audienthusiasts.com/ProjectSteeringSwap.html

I agree, one of the first things I did after getting my Q5 was go searching for the VAG universal one. Got mine from Aliexpress for about £7 and it's agreed with what the MMI says so I'm happy.

Part number is T40178 Can get equivalent ones from Amazon etc, just need to set the stopper for your particular engine.

Only a problem if any respraying is being done. A good grease and wax remover before starting the prep work should be sufficient though.

Yes, yes I do. I've used it to fix a squeaky hinge, which lasted for 3 days. I've used it on locks, cables etc etc etc and invariably it dries out and you're back to where you began. Though it does quite a nice job of cleaning stainless steel and as a sticker remover.

WD40 is a penetrant not a lubricant. When I retrofitted folding mirrors to my '64 plate the drivers side was painfully slow compared to the passenger side. Took it apart, cleaned it up and sprayed some silicone spray between the mirror and the base plate where everything rotates and it's been fine ever since.

I'm referring to the heatshields between the the engine and the front subframe. This guy points to it about halfway through the video.

I took my rear lower arms off to change out the bushes for polybushes, in order to get the bolt out I had to reshape the heatshield. That was fine on the passenger side, but on the drivers side I forgot to bend it back into shape and it was pressing up against the steering column, caused a lot of grinding and bound the steering up a bit but was all fixed when I bent the shield back out. May be worth a look.

I've felt the effects of ABS and of warped discs. ABS will shudder the car but you feel it quite aggressively through the brake pedal not the steering. A warped disc will cause the steering wheel to wobble and stop wobbling when you come off the brakes.

Could be warped/overheated discs.

Looking on line a lot of 2016 TDi cars are coming up with 308bhp or 320bhp. Can I ask where you're getting 340bhp as standard from?

I've seen batteries with a weak cell drop to under 9volts when cranking but if the new battery is ok then I'd wonder if the starter motor is faulty/jamming causing the power drain.

I think it's 8K0959591B and look's like it's identical to the one that controls the sunblind. 8K9898057 is for the bolts that hold it in.

I believe the part number is 8K2857409AJ

Bit of a bump but having been considering a remap on my own 3.0TDi I stumbled here. After a bit of googling at this Chip Express I wouldn't go there, it's a box that hooks in between the fuel pressure sensor and the ECU. So all it's going to do is fudge the signal to increase/decrease the fuel pressure as it see's fit. A proper remap (Revo, Celtic, Darkside, Bluefin, etc) alters the fuel map, boost regulation, shift points, etc based on the ACTUAL data sent from the cars sensors, it does not remove any of the safeguards and doesn't fudge signals that the ECU relies on.
