    It would be cheaper to buy another MP3 player to fit what's already there

    That's a great result! I would probably try the genuine one and it would also add value to the car with having a second genuine key.

    Hi Ben....welcome to the Forum I can't find anything listed for your model as yet so maybe have to wait a short time before someone introduces aftermarket parts for it. Let us know how you get on with modding it over time Cheers Trevor

    Hi Mick....welcome to the forum Welcome also to the wonderful world of Audi and their peculiar faults and foibles. I would imagine it has something to do with formatting the card before using but not the expert here...anyone on here know the answer??? Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor

    Could only find these fob parts http://www.audiownersclub.com/parts-search-results/A5-S5-RS5/Vehicle_Parts_and_Accessories/131090/key I believe you will need to use VAG COM or similar to reprogramme new/used fob to the car though

    Hi...and welcome to the forum! I would personally go for the manual, lot less to go wrong. I would also start with a remap and see what benefits that brings before going to the next level but I would think, intake, exhaust and turbo to take it beyond the remap. Let us know when you get your Audi Cheers Trevor

    You could I suppose buy the one with the extra plug and just not use it, or alternatively fit the DRC shocks as it wouldn't take much to do...although they might cost a fortune!

    Hi Jay...welcome to the Forum Looking forward to reading your posts / questions on here...feel free to post in anytime. Cheers Trevor

    can you hear it from outside as well? I'm thinking it may be an alternator or PAS pump or something else that rotates at engine speed, maybe disconnect various auxiliary belts until the noise disappears.

    I believe there are some alarm systems out there with mobile phone alerts but not totally sure which one to recommend. Also, there are small webcam devices that activate with movement and send images to your mobile or tablet...that may be a cheaper and better option?

    I don't think the 2.0 TFSi engine will be a problem if you are replacing the pistons but otherwise honing and setting ring gaps should resolve that issue. Weight reduction is always a good thing....I would have to start with myself if I was doing this as I would be a huge weight gain to the vehicle

    Hi John...welcome to the Forum Does the sound increase with the engine revs or does it stay constant. Sometimes an alternator with worn bearings will sound like that and increase with revs. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor

    I would think it may need to be recognised by the body control system. Worth dropping it into a specialist Audi repairer to ask them and if so to programme up.

    Hi Conrad I've moved your advert to the Cars for Sale section but left a link here so that it may be more noticeable to anyone looking. Cheers Trevor

    I can only see Nano grey on the Audi website for the A3 but the images aren't that clear as all the greys looked the same to me, sorry!
  16. Audi Owners Club.
    Great choice of vehicles there Simon....do you use the A4 Cab in the winter as well? I find the Z3 has a great heater and it's fun to take out on a cold but sunny winters day as long as it's dry

    Hi Richard....welcome to the Forum Quite a rare car nowadays! You could try to locate some parts direct from Germany as I would imaging there would still be plenty of parts available over there for the 80. Cheers Trevor

    Hi David...welcome to the Forum Wow! you have some great ideas there, costly as well I would think? Keep us posted on your progress as would be interested to see where you go with this. Cheers Trevor

    Hi...and welcome to the forum. Could be a faulty Air Mass Meter, worth checking the readings from it to see if that's the cause. Additionally, areas like the EGR valve could be clogged up and its worth running a cleaning additive through the system to ensure it's clear...would improve things all round anyway. Let us know how you get on with it all. Cheers Trevor

    Hi Marco...welcome to the forum I'm not sure personally, without contacting the person/garage who replaced the engine then I would work on the assumption that it hasn't and replace it as a matter of course. Let us know how you get on and if you find a way of identifying it as being replaced. Cheers Trevor

    Hi Shaun...welcome to the Forum I don't think the standard alarm system is up to much regarding movement on the vehicle, I think if someone want's your wheels, they'll have them regardless. Just need to ensure the wheel nuts are anti-theft and clearly display that on the car side window for example. Cheers Trevor

    Hi Charlotte...welcome to the Forum Could you post a picture of the prongs up here so we can see them and go from there. Cheers Trevor

    I'll start then... Audi A4 for the daily driver...nothing special but does the job BMW Z3...got written off & paid out so owes me nothing so great to keep in the garage and take out on nice days for a spirited drive BMW GS1200 motorbike....for the days when you really need to escape 4 wheel drive campervan (demountable) don't use it as often as I should really Mazda MX5 mk1....just got it back on the road for a track day All the above, I'm sure represent a mid-life crisis....but I'm not complaining

    So, what else do you guys also drive or ride ? Any other makes or just Audi ? Anyone ride a Motorbike or drive an interesting 'fun' car ?
  25. Audi Owners Club.
    Sounds like Power Steering Fluid that the VAG cars use...which is green in colour. I would check the PAS reservoir for correct level and if its dropped that's where its leaking from. Chances are the hose clips just need tightening a bit
