Nothing glaringly obvious from the photos.

Try LLL Parts website.

It’s a shame the OP is yet to read any of the responses.

Yes we know Audi won’t Charles , and you can’t really blame them. Where have you enquired to buy aftermarket discs and pads, and what brand are you looking for? Kind regards, Gareth.

Welcome Barry, you have just won the prize for the shortest introductory post from a newcomer. We do not charge by the word! Kind regards, Gareth.

Probably stuck with TRV sealant Chris.

Hello Chris, Saying it as it is:- The patient has been diagnosed with a serious heart complaint, and as a result, more organs have been damaged to a life threatening extent, and you are fussing about relatively minor detail of slightly low compressions etc. The engine is almost certainly damaged to an undesirable extent and you now want to do fairly major dismantling to try to find out that extent. I think it’s worth you just leaving this well alone except buying a new oil pump and sucking it and seeing, or decide not to throw anymore good money after bad -at this stage - when you should have taken notice some year (or more?) ago when the oil pressure warning was doing its best to let you know. For goodness sake just fit a new oil pump, assume the worse and hope for the best! Kind regards, Gareth.

It l looks like you are searching Autodoc/ECP. If it were mine I would discount everything except Febi. Check out Parts in Motion for great service at competitive prices. Well worth checking their EBay listings for the correct part- often a little cheaper than buying the same part off their website. Let us know what you come up with Chris. Kind regards, Gareth.

Thanks Chris. The horse has already bolted, but…

But you have already changed the oil filter without improvement. Function is the operative word!

Just buy a new level sensor James.

Thanks Chris, I fear ignoring this issue over a year of use, is regrettably the cause of both issues, and OK pessimistically, simply rectifying the oil pump issue isn’t going to rectify the damage already caused. Sorry for that opinion. Kind regards, Gareth.

Judging from the oil pressure issue you list separately, this engine’s condition sounds poorly.

So all spark plugs removed before testing individual cylinders?

Hello James, Warning for low coolant level rather than coolant temperature?? If so, what you have found is most likely the culprit, but that is a coolant level sensor and not a coolant temperature sensor. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hello Chris, 0.5 bar = approx. 7 psi. Expected normal psi on start up with a cold engine would be at least 50psi (3.5 bar). There is something seriously wrong here, and if it were mine, I would not run this engine. (In caps). History of car? How long have you owned it etc. Seriously doubt it has anything to do with jacking on one side. Kind regards, Gareth.

No problem at all, but any reason why you are not letting the forum have answers to the tyre questions? Such detail maybe significant. Anyway, whether we get the answers or not, the important part will be to hear the feedback from the inspection on Friday.

Hello Jason, So really it’s only the drive seat squab you need, and not the whole seat. Having said that, it’s likely that the cover can be swopped from a same style passenger seat. Kind regards, Gareth.

Thanks Chris, They do generally seem on the lower side of normal. Could you outline your procedure for testing the compression pressures please. Kind regards, Gareth.

Nothing happening with the links for me Chris. Please just list the figures. Kind regards, Gareth.

Sian, Can you please answer the questions and now include brands

Tyre profiles, pressures, XL or not Sian?

Have you got gates which are lockable? If not, you need to have a chain or whatever fitted to deter removing the car. Damage due to attempted theft can be more of a risk than the actual theft itself.

So did you get the battery efficiency checked Steve?

Thanks Martin, Could you please let the forum members know what price you want for the tyre please - rather than ‘offers’. Also if you would be prepared to post/courier it. Many thanks, Gareth.
