    Fair enough, but why not say so from the start. The forum name you have chosen for yourself is bound to raise suspicion.
  2. cliffcoggin
    Is that wise? It could be as wrecked as your existing joint.
  3. cliffcoggin
    Sharks!
  4. cliffcoggin
    How much were you quoted Campbell?
  5. cliffcoggin
    Agreed. That's why I warned him, though it's unlikely he will ever read it.

    Amar. You posted the same query in your own topic eight months ago, and failed to respond to the suggestions there. If you can't be bothered to look at it why should anybody answer you now? https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/26340-audi-a3-16tdi-2011-randomly-cuts-out/#comment-100863

    Shaf. Whereabouts in the UK are you, and why are you suggesting parts from an American supplier? Are you aware that USA spec cars are different to UK and European spec cars?
  8. cliffcoggin
    So second user means secondhand?
  9. cliffcoggin
    The need for camber adjusting bolts suggests the chassis is twisted. Has the car been in a crash?

    I doubt we can expect a peaceful future Gareth, but I join you in wishing for it. Happy Christmas dear readers.
  11. cliffcoggin
    Yes and no, it depends on the competance of the persons involved not the training organisation. I suggest you look for independent VAG specialists to get the best of both worlds i.e, a good knowledge of Audi cars without the corporate greed and indifference of the Audi company.
  12. cliffcoggin
    Yes of course the battery should be disconnected before cutting wires. Are you intending to change the rear lights to a different type, such as tungsten to LED for example?
  13. cliffcoggin
    Please do. You are not the only one in such a position so it would help everyone to know of your progress.
  14. cliffcoggin
    US quarts, yes. Imperial quarts, no. So tell us how much you have added in litres. Are you in the USA?
  15. cliffcoggin
    Fenton is in Staffordshire, hence my puzzlement. What say you James?
  16. cliffcoggin
    I fully agree with Gareth. Reject the car and demand either a replacement or a refund.
  17. cliffcoggin
    In your position I would demand, in writing, a replacement car on the grounds that the car is defective and the dealer has thrice proved himself incapable of fixing it. It could be a long battle so keep records of all communications, which should preferably be written not verbal.

    Any news on this Joe?
  19. cliffcoggin
    Any news on this Keith?

    More likely he flushed out some sediment or removed some air. I suggest you reverse flush the matrix alone, i.e. not the whole cooling system, with mains pressure water. You may be lucky to dislodge sediment and limescale enough to get the heating working again.

    It sounds like a loose connection. Check the plug connection and bolb contacts for looseness. Clean them with contact cleaner as well.
  22. cliffcoggin
    There's your answer: 8 quarts in the UK is 9.1 litres, not 7.6 litres, so you have added 1.5 litres too much. An odd thing to do because oil is sold here in litres, not quarts or pints or gallons, so you must have done some conversion when buying it.
  23. cliffcoggin
    Fingers crossed that the rusty brackets don't break off.
  24. cliffcoggin
    No great loss then.
  25. cliffcoggin
    It doesn't look good. Might as well change all four while you are at it.
