Audi Owners Club

Sounds electrical but weird how it is temperature related. Not one I have heard of before. I'm scraping the barrel here but immobiliser fault??

Under the sales of goods act the dealer will have at least some responsibility for the car for 6 months. See the quote below from trading standards: The onus is normally on you rather than the trader to prove a claim (that is, to prove that the vehicle is faulty in some way). However, the law states that if you are claiming repair, replacement, full or partial refund within the first six months of ownership, the onus is on the trader to prove that the vehicle was sold without faults when you bought it. This is called the 'reversed burden of proof'. After six months, the burden of proof reverts back to you to provide evidence to support your claim that the vehicle was faulty when it was sold. Glad you're enjoying the car though and fingers crossed you won't have any problems anyway! :)

Ouch doesn't sound great :( Fingers crossed you have some luck with the goodwill gesture. Not sure why it's only dealer level though!

Hi and welcome. Not especially easy I'm afraid. The simplest way is to remove the whole front bumper believe it or not! :(

Hi Phil welcome to the club! Sounds like it's a bit of a gamble to be honest. Of course, there are people out there that maintain cars themselves and do a good job of it but obviously you don't know for sure. If this is reflected in the price then fair enough but I would take it for a decent drive and listen for any unusual noises and check all the fluid levels and see how clean the oil looks etc. If you do go for it then get a full service after picking it up for peace of mind! Going to be a gamble though I guess. Is the dealer offering much of a warranty?

No worries glad you got it sorted! :)

Hi and welcome to the club! The only way you would get any goodwill out of Audi is if you have full main dealer history and even then may be difficult on a 2007 car. Worth a try though! :)

Did either of you manage to get this sorted?

Hi and welcome to the club! Get some photos up when you can! :)

Nothing wrong with that. Oem always looks the best IMO

Hi welcome to the club! Can't help on the problems I'm afraid but I'm sure one of our other members will be able to! :)

It could be a number of things to be honest. From injectors, to sensors etc. Have you tried plugging it in to check for fault codes? Also, have you tried using a fuel treatment such as millers diesel ecomax first to see if that makes any difference?

Cool, let us know how you get on!

Hi Welcome to the club! :) You definitely made the right choice moving to an Audi!

Do you still hear the motor when you push up?

Have you had a look here? http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/00561 Mentions quite a bit about that code :)

Welcome to the club! :) Are you able to isolate where the leak is coming from even approximately? Front or rear etc

Looks very clean. Good luck with the sale!

Hi, I would think the car would be set to long life service intervals with long life oil in use. Normal oil will not maintain its quality for the amount of time that Audi need it to so the oil is designed to slowly burn off and the car can be kept topped up with relatively fresh oil (or at least partially). Not sure on the discrepancy with the days but I would normally recommend an oil change at least once a year regardless of what the manufacturer says or how many miles it's done. I would say regular oil changes are the single most important aspect of car maintenance.

HI and welcome! Are you sure this is not simply an ice warning when it is below a certain temperature?? Sounds like it is to me

Hi Alex welcome to the club! :) Nice looking avant, like the first photo!

Hi welcome to the club! :)

Certainly makes it more interesting to watch!

Hi welcome to the club! Fingers crossed they will win again. The R18 is an excellent car so I don't see why not!
