Wondered how you are getting on with this Mo - ?

Hello Brian, I think the quickest route would be to search EBay and assess/ask for the critical dimensions which will be meaningful. Could do the same on Amazon I guess. Perhaps you could let us know what you choose Brian, since that could be of use to other members. Kind regards, Gareth.

Welcome Ian, Bear in mind it maybe any other component driven by the auxiliary belt. Kind regards, Gareth.

Thanks Ian, When you say you changed a recluctor ring, was that on the wheel which is showing the fault on diagnostics? Kind regards, Gareth.

Any comments for us Brian?

Any comments for us Ian?

Welcome Keith, and thanks for joining. Possibly/ probably a blocked heater matrix, but please do a search the forum in general, and you should find out much more. The reason the coolant level ran low sometime ago?? Does it still lose coolant, and if so how much - over x miles? Kind regards, Gareth.

ECP - bless you.

Hello Kevin, I’ve removed your duplicate post for you. Re. the issue:- Have you checked that 245/40/21 is a correct and listed alternative fitment for your vehicle? The answer will be on the tyre pressure sticker on the car - fuel flap, door pillar etc. Is the car fitted with mud flaps? Kind regards, Gareth.

How are you getting on with this Osman?

Are you going to return to the forum Manu, since you seem to have posted and not returned?

Thanks Ian, Have you viewed and responded to the posts on the other section? Kind regards, Gareth.

Sounds good then Chris. Price wise would also sound good. If the quality of your turns out to be anything like the one we had for the KA, you should be impressed - thicker spring pans, better paint protection etc. We gave the new frame a liberal coating of Waxoyl before fitting. Always worth doing. Let us know how you get on Chris. Kind regards, Gareth.

Ok. Sounds good, except why did you renew ‘sensors’ if you had isolated the issue to the sensor on o/s front wheel? Is the sender on the front wheel a Reluctor ring type? Kind regards, Gareth.

Hello Ian, Have you checked this for fault codes which should identify the offending wheel, Could be as simple as ( and often is) a poor connection. Kind regards, Gareth.

Thanks Rory, Blinking heck, this thread is rapidly approaching year 7! Looking back, the OP’s photos seem to highlight where to look and unblock the blocked drains - under the bonnet and ahead of the windscreen, having removed to plastic trim cover. Kind regards, Gareth.

Proof positive will be by obtaining the VIN, then walking into your local Audi dealer, and asking the Parts section if they would be kind enough to help you out with a copy of the build record. Arm yourself with a box of biscuits to lubricate the assistance. Don’t try to do this over the phone, it seldom works that way.

What drains Rory? You seem to have jumped into this thread without any prior explanation - unless ‘m missing something.

Any progress on this Dan? Kind regards, Gareth.

Hello Leo, Welcome and thanks for joining. I think everyone’s experience in the same situations will be different, and likelihood of similarities of the outcome will be rare. If it were mine, I would not be concerned with how long it took a garage in Lincolnshire to source the problem, since it is almost certain to differ from yours. Similar with the time to take action on the outcome. Was it covered under warranty? - although it might have been with the OP’s warranty, it might not be with yours, and vice versa. I would suggest you PM Steve and raise the questions direct with him, since he hasn’t returned to the forum for almost 18 months. Perhaps you could keep us posted on the outcome Leo. Kind regards, Gareth.

Thank you Simon, We don’t like doing this, but it has not been uncommon of late that posters either don’t react to suggestions made, or simply just don’t return - a bit like asking a question and walking away! We do try to prompt members in this situation, but again seldom get a response until the warning is issued - then we seldom don’t get a reaction! Has what you have read been of any help to you? Kind regards, Gareth.

Please see Justin’s profile.

I feel for you Jason, and it will be of no consolation to suspect that if this had occurred within 6months/6K miles, your warranty might have treated it as wear and tear, and the repair would not have been covered. Thanks for keeping us informed, and good luck in getting it rectified. Kind regards, Gareth.

Welcome Jim, and thanks for joining. Shall we start with the simple solution first:- Since you have bought it remotely and it’s not practical to return it to the Audi dealership you bought it from, does your warranty allow you to take it to a convenient-to-you dealership? I would expect it to. You obviously first have to measure the minimum remaining pad thickness on the most worn pad, and to do that properly, the road wheels will need to be removed. If you or anyone else does that without the authority of the selling dealership, then it could affect your warranty. If it were mine:- e-mail the dealer who sold it to you, and outline your concerns, and enquire whether you can book it in at a dealership closer to you. In anticipation that any dealer may not be able to accept it pre Christmas, and in respect you are dealing with brakes, ask them for agreement to get it inspected by a garage of your choice. Please let us know how you get on Jim. Kind regards, Gareth. p.s. Min. thickness on inspection? Not sure, but would expect below around 4mm remaining would justify replacement.

Any progress Scott?
