Hi Raza...welcome to the Forum Know what you mean about changing cars frequently...story of my life ! :-) Good to have you onboard Cheers Trevor

Hi Steve....welcome to the Forum It sounds like the bodyshop disconnected the battery and lost the settings. The reset should be as Audi suggested and may necessitate you disconnecting the battery and trying the reset again. Let us know what you find out with sorting this. Cheers Trevor

Great CV there Adie. I also have worked in the trade all my life but have always avoided body & paint...never had the calling, lol. Keep us updated on the S6 acquisition. Cheers Trevor

Hi Mark...welcome to the Forum Thanks for your support as you do with the other vehicle make forums...always good to have industry experts onboard Cheers Trevor

Ouch! that's expensive damage and huge bill to complement it. It would be difficult to find a small fracture but when its spinning at 200,000 rpm it then lets go.

Hi Rich...welcome to the Forum I can imagine the DSG is ideal for you as opposed to having to convert the car (as in the good old days). I agree, the early Jap cars are now so highly collectable and desirable....it's easy to forget how innovative they were even back then. Good to have you onboard Cheers Trevor

I think the element in the Mass Airflow Sensor would be same just the housing diameter would change between the engine sizes possibly

Hi Jack....welcome to the Forum Gorgeous looking Audi...certainly has the stance ! Good to have you onboard and thanks for sharing the piccy. Cheers Trevor

Hi Joe....welcome to the Forum It's like any car really...the TT is a superb machine but it should have a full Service History with bills to prove it along with work been carried out by reputable repairers with genuine or quality parts being used. If thats all in place then it should be a genuine car and will serve you well for years to come. Worth checking the forum threads to research the 3.2 engine Keep us updated on how the purchase goes. Cheers Trevor

HI Lee...welcome to the Forum If it was me I would go for the 2011 A3 as lower miles, newer, better technology, etc....assuming its for the same money as the 2009 A3? Keep us updated on how the decision goes Cheers Trevor

Hi Lee....welcome to the Forum Not sure about the specific paints Audi have used over the years but hopefully someone on here may know? Cheers Trevor

Hi Karl....welcome to the Forum. What a gorgeous looking car ! Good to have you onboard Cheers Trevor

Hi Aaron....welcome to the Forum The A4 Cabriolet is a superb car and it has fantastic looks with the hood either up or down. Look forward to seeing the piccies of it. Here's the link: http://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/gallery/ Cheers Trevor

Hi Whizzbang....welcome to the Forum What teams have you worked with in Motorsport and what particular area...if you don't mind me asking (reason being, i'm a big WEC and Audi LMP1 fan). Good to have you onboard Cheers Trevor

Hi Jason....welcome to the Forum Wow! huge mileages on both the Audi's...going strong then! Good to have you onboard Cheers Trevor

As far as I know...if the DRLs are on then there will be tell-tail indicators internally to show this

Hi Panos...welcome to the Forum Please keep us informed of how this proceeds as it would be great to find a common cause, especially if it is only tyres that are the cause Cheers Trevor

Hi MrSweet The MPG does seem low for a Q7, however as Brad stated earlier, I think it will average out a little higher once everything has settled down. I recently put a DTUK Tuning Box on my Honda CRV CDTi and that improved the MPG by at least 10-12% which should pay for the cost of the box in no time at all. Here is a link to the review I wrote for it http://www.audiownersclub.com/news/reviews/club-reviews/product-reviews/electronic-engine-tuning-guide/ I think, in general anything you do to improve the efficiency of the engine (oil change, replacing filters, etc) will improved MPG Cheers Trevor

Hi Andy...welcome to the Forum I agree with Brad, the S4 is a beast... There are a few problem areas with the Q7 but worth looking through the posts to get a gist of what they suffer from. Hopefully some Q7 owners will interject with some info? Cheers Trevor

I heard of a Range Rover owner recently who wasn't told about putting AdBlue into the tank. As a result, the car stopped and wouldn't restart until reprogrammed by the dealers at huge cost. His argument was he wasn't told he needed to do this and that it was the dealers responsibility and won the case.

They are both great looking cars and as you say...fully loaded with Tech,can't go wrong. Hope you get a quick sale on the Ford

One way is to cover the area around the hose connections with soapy water and see if there is a leak present. For diagnosis of the turbo boost pressure you will need a scanner with live data readout facilities.

I totally agree with Brad-B5 especially when it comes to loose/broken clips because when boost is pressurising in the hoses, etc it can emit a whistle so worth checking them. Diagnostics should tell you the boost pressure and if the turbo is not boosting as much as it should then it maybe a new one required. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor

Hi....welcome to the Forum Also, welcome back to the world of Audi Generally, manufacturers stated claims are way off the mark and usually carried out in simulation. However, that said...if you were to drive at 55 mph constantly on a level road then you may achieve somewhere near their claims. In reality, the MPG you achieved is not too bad and should improve as everything settles down. Good to have you onboard and keep us updated with how the MPG improves. Cheers Trevor

Hi Nick...welcome to the Forum Shame about the glovebox light but it's fortunately a small issue on the scale of things (that is until you are searching for something small in the glovebox at night, I suppose). Good to have you onboard Cheers Trevor
