  1. Glad to hear the good news 😊 I can always find you Audi projects lol
  2. Is it via the my audi app?
  3. The thing most people forget about german cars is that no matter how cheap they become Tom purchase the maintenance costs are just the same. So like you say, people just leave it if something big starts to fail.
  4. Knew you'd change your mind kev 😉
  5. How's that going? How has the dealer been?
  6. Wowsers. Any other VAG specialists nearby?
  7. You could always get a second opinion from an Audi independent specialist.
  8. Definitely most likely the weather. But feel free to get a diagnostic check or battery test for peace of mind.
  9. Thought it'd be the compressor
  10. If you have no paperwork to show it's had work done then there's a good chance it hasn't had the work done. Also I've just sent you a private message.
  11. Please keep us posted on how you get on.
  12. Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂
  13. Please keep us posted on how you get on. Fingers crossed it's a cheap fix 🤞
  14. Not necessarily as it depends on when the car wants to do a regeneration on the dpf. Unfortunately dog and egr issues are common problems on most modern diesels these days. Use the search function to see the different threads to see what I mean
  15. Definitely worth seeing what they say.
  16. Yes you could end up with blocked dpf with soot if the engine isn't run hot for long enough. I'd definitely advise a petrol in your case. Also I'm not sure what towns/cities you visit but diesel will be more of a problem if emissions zones are brought in.
  17. Has the battery been checked? Any fault codes for the gearbox? When was the gearbox last serviced?
  18. I can't recommend a garage but it sounds like the top might have shrunk.
  19. This could be caused by a failing thermostat
  20. I'd say a faulty compressor. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up
  21. First pic is a 2012 b9. Second pic is a 2012 b8. The grill is the big give away.
  22. Theres not a fly inside the car? Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up?
  23. I'm not sure but I'd recommend getting the car checked by an Audi specialist or an auto electrician
  24. No probs at all, from the fault code detected I wonder if the ECU is now defective.
