  1. Could be. Could be an issue with the turbo. And it's leaking oil into the turbo. It can cause engine to run away. Look ar it on YouTube
  2. Have you tried the spare key? Are the symptoms the same with that.
  3. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up or get an auto electrician to take a look.
  4. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be more than one issue. Could be a glow plug issue, injector, cam position sensor etc.
  5. Yea they should fit. But double check the offset etc.
  6. Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be an issue with the driver's door module or the signal receiver.
  7. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂
  8. Sounds good if it's a 1 owner car with full history. But the key question you have to ask yourself is why is he selling it? Che k service history for proof of gearbox oil changes and make sure all electrical items work. Check service history got any evidence of work on the dpf or egr. Check out buyers guides on YouTube.
  9. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 looks a lovely car glad you're pleased with it 🙂
  10. Have you checked the pollen filter housing? When was the AC system last regasssed? Is there any water in the wheel well? Is there condensation on the inside of the vehicle when you get into it in the morning?
  11. Thanks Steve, I've learnt something new. When I had mine changed I only had 2 working out of the 6. As you know the service interval it makes me wonder if it's been missed, and if so what else has been missed.
  12. Glad it runs fine 🙂 the symptoms of failing glow plugs is that the car will struggle to start in cold mornings.
  13. Could well be the glow plugs but I do find it odd in some ways they've all gone simultaneously.
  14. They're lovely cars. It'll be either 130 or 163bp. Check service history on when gearbox was last serviced as this is the Achilles heal in the mechanicals. Looks to be se spec. But if you contact Audi they should be able to provide you a build sheet.
  15. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 keep us posted on how you get on with your search and don't forget to check out buyers guides on YouTube.
  16. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be an issue with the imobiliser
  17. Very nice. Would look good with the spoiler
  18. I agree, all black interiors can feel claustrophobic. You've definitely done the right thing.
  19. It makes me wonder if the waring springs have been fitted at some point or of poor quality which is why you've got issues. But even with front measurements they're not even either.
  20. It will have some sort of coding for security. But any replacement head unit can be coded.
  21. Looks a lovely car. You'll love it, the colour combo is great.
  22. Unfortunately with older Audi's it's a waiting game for the parts to pop up.
