  1. Im always on the side of preventive maintenance but then again I'm sentimentally attacked to my A6 c5. All items you've mentioned are wear and tear items. The 1.9 is quite a strong engine if well looked after.
  2. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 How odd, you'd expect the ford st to be more. It's just a case of ringing round I'm afraid
  3. The video should advise how. If that doesn't work then it could be an issue with the CCM, signal receiver.
  4. Is the battery coded to the car? Obd eleven or VCDS are good diagnostic tools.
  5. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Also if the battery is low have you had a new battery fitted?
  6. Never heard of it needing to be calibrated. Have you tried contacting sealey?
  7. It depends where the signal receiver sits and how much damage tiu because if it's in the same area. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up
  8. You're most welcome glad I could help 🙂 if you're upgrading the calipers you could upgrade to braided hoses too. Just a thought... Hope you get the turbo issue sorted. You could badd an upgraded intercooler and get it remapped with new turbo.
  9. Glad you're getting through this. You're making great progress 🙂
  10. I agree, very poor indeed! They should be paying for the replacement part.
  11. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 sorry to hear of your issue. I'd recommend you get a second opinion. If it is the transmission module I'd recommend looking on eBay even at international sellers. Bare in mind the part would have to be coded to the car.
  12. Yep it's deliberately done. Some EU law that required day time running lights.
  13. Thanks for the update. Hope you make good progress over the next few days 🙂
  14. You could also get the instrument cluster sent off to be accessed. Think it'll cost £250ish got a repair if found faulty
  15. I think you'll find a brand new genuine bumper will be very expensive. Have you spoken to a bodyshop to see if the bumper can be repaired?
  16. Glad you got some sort of resolution. It's frustrating that Audi and other manufacturers like to deny issues and wash their hands of the engineering once it's out of warranty.
  17. Some of these cheap turbos are known to last no more than a year. I'm finding getting some new genuine parts is becoming hard to come by especially some Interior trim and mechanical components
