  3. Hi Ash...welcome to the Forum! Thanks for posting up the pictures...the car looks great! Keep the piccies coming, we want to see the upgrades (before and after) is always good. Cheers, Trevor - Admin
  4. Hi Martyn...welcome to the Forum! I believe the gearboxes are okay as long as the fluid is changed frequently. There should be plenty of information available for specific tasks on the internet, alternatively ElsaWin is a great source of info (try eBay for a copy). Looking forward to reading your posts on here Regards Trevor - Admin
  5. Hi Mark...welcome to the Forum! I'm sure some members will give their opinions on the various A4 variants...anyone? Hope you find a good one Regards Trevor - Admin

    Q7 WHEEL

    Hi John...welcome to the club! Just tried to compare the rims to those on eBay, search engines, etc and haven't come up with a match. Hopefully some of the members may know what model they are. Regards Trevor - Admin
  7. Hi Paul, We don't have a Premium Membership with this club as yet, so therefore no fees! If you need a membership number for a specific reason let us know and we can forward this to you. Regards Trevor - Admin
  8. Hi Jase...welcome to the club! How you enjoying your Audi...not sure you've had the best weather to really appreciate it lately :-( Regards Trevor - Admin
  9. Hi John...welcome to the club! I would take it to a garage to have the fuel smell checked just in case it has a potentially dangerous leak, as it is a sealed system it should not create any vapour. Temp gauge fault should be easily diagnosed by the garage also. Regards Trevor - Admin
  10. A video clip of this years Audi R18 testing at Nuerburgring...enjoy!!
  11. or this one?
  12. or how about this one?
  13. Hi Ginny...welcome to the club! You could try the recommendations that Simon has mentioned and also for tuning and any other specialist work try VAS Works (see link below) http://www.vasworks.co.uk/vw-audi-specialists.php?brand=Audi Regards, Trevor - Admin
  14. Hi Tony, Have a look at this link...possibly related to what you are describing? Can any Q7 members help?
  15. Hi Josh...welcome to the Forum ! The one listed below is a typical Dump Valve set up...allows for better spooling and does make a great noise :-) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAG-1-8T-Bosch-Replacement-Forge-Dump-Valve-Recirculating-FMCL007P-Now-FMDV008-/231784843472?hash=item35f77408d0:g:IU0AAOSwEeFVSfky I'm sure other members have recommendations and personal preferences...anyone??? Regards, Trevor - Admin
  16. The new advert just being aired on TV featuring an R8 creating a donut to classical music....quality !
  17. What do you think of the latest R8 advert being aired on TV? This my personal favourite from 2013
  18. Hi Stewart...and welcome to the forum! Regarding your query on the timing belt / chain...both types of camshaft drive mechanisms have issues if not replaced after covering high mileages or missing services. Its certainly worth investigating further or even spending out at the offset to replace before failure occurs! I'm sure there are some members on here that could shine more light on reliability issues and what to look out for before buying. Best Regards, Trevor - Admin
  19. Hi...and welcome to the forum Sorry I can't offer any specific advice on the actual fault with the transmission but I hope some other members might have experienced and found a solution for this fault. The only advice I can offer is to look at any engine control issues as this can reflect on the drivability through the transmission (air mass meter for example affects the traction control system)...it's worth investigating for the time it takes to run a scan. Best Regards, Trevor - Admin
  20. sorry, by compression I meant engine compression which can be affected by engine oil quality. Other possible faults could be fuel pressure dropping slightly, probably best to run a scan on the engine to determine pressures, voltages, etc. For the cost of a scan by a reputable garage/specialist it would eliminate any guesswork and money ill spent. Good luck and let us know how you get on with it.
  21. Would advise checking the tyre pressure first....over inflated could cause this
  22. Hi Jon try this link for the part you need http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A8-D2-A6-A4-A3-Folding-Mirror-Control-module-361-4A0907440-/131811921931?hash=item1eb09a500b:i:131811921931 plus you will probably need a switch http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A4-B6-B7-ELECTRIC-POWER-FOLD-WING-MIRROR-SWITCH-CONTROL-KNOB-8E0959565A-/222005850803?fits=Car+Make%3AAudi|Model%3AA4|Cars+Year%3A2007&hash=item33b09472b3:g:eFgAAOSw1KxXMc3r These are a couple of examples but I'm sure there are cheaper ones in breakers yards Best Regards, Trevor - Admin

    Hi Stewart, Have you picked up your Q5 yet? and if so, how are you getting on with it? Did the issues get resolved before you took it out again? What did you want to know about AdBlue? Best Regards, Trevor - Admin
  24. In this instance, I would suggest removing the fuel pump fuse with the engine running and then turn over a few times to burn off any remaining fuel. Switch the ignition off & disconnect the battery. Allow the engine to cool before disconnecting any fuel lines. The fuel pump should then be depressurised enough to crack loose any fuel supply pipes and unions. Always remember to have suitable Fire precautions in place (extinguisher, etc) and no sources of ignition before working on fuel systems and work at your own risk. Here is a useful article to follow; http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/changing-hpfp-cam-follower-on-s3-8p.138827/
  25. Hi Stuart, SAFE usually means the key(s) are not being recognised...make sure that the key(s) are for that car and it is paired to the vehicle (put key in ignition to pair). The drivers manual should have some additional information on this issue. Please let us know how you get on
