Steve Q

Kev, is one who likes to save old old audis on here.

Make a note of the code but clear it and see if it comes back over the next week. You have 30 days from the day of sake for a full refund or for the garage to fix it FOC if there's an issue.

Any documented proof of cambelt and water pump change and gearbox services. Check YouTube for buyers guides.

Need to know spec and gearbox option etc. I'd recommend finding 3 similar cars from the same year and send them to your insurance company as evidence of what it'll cost you to replace the car with a similar or like for like.

Glad you got sorted 🙂 If it's any consolation I get my wife to take her jaguar to have her xe adblue topped up, as jags are known for adblue system issues. This has saved us twice when the system has gone faulty and they've had to drain the tank, reset the sensor and top it back up FOC twice. My rationale is, if they do it then we can't be blamed for it being over filled or wrong adblue fluid added etc.

Correct it can only be done by main dealer. Expect to Psy £500

In theory the bumper should fit.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

This is very odd.

Glad you got sorted 🙂

Please do 🙂

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 air suspension problems are well documented and can be costly to repair

Could be or would it be an ECU issue?

Unfortunately manufacturers haven't seemed to grasp how to calculate the usage etc. which is daft twhen they've been able to do with with petrol/diesel tanks for decades. On some manufacturers it's based on how many times the fuel filler flap is opened. It'll need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

When was the gearbox oil last changed? Id recommend getting it in to be inspected

Common problem on vag cars is that the sensor doesn't reset. You'll need to get a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Quite a lot of threads in tis already.

I looked at this, a good mechanical engine that can run on veg oil etc is the land rover 200tdi. The problem with Audi's is that they're fwd longitudinal and finding similar modern drivetrains is hard to come by. As most fwd vehicles are transverse. The annoying thing with cars now is that they're deliberately over engineered so they can't be repaired by a home mechanic.

I think they come as a complete vent.

Keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Exactly. I had to translate it in Google and it's had a full refresh. I've asked if they ship to the UK. Not heard back yet but it's the weekend. To show the comparison in price, they have a used aym versions with 87k miles and its €300 less.

When was the gearbox repair carried out?

Glad you've had a great result 😊

There's been a lot of cars not receiving the kit they should have had. Have you spoke to the supplying dealer about this? As it's been not sold as stated.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Those v70s were great!

Thanks Steve, think I'm looking at the last of the line bau version. I've found this refurbished one in Germany, and I've messaged them with a few questions regarding the turbo etc. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325748688740?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=e8AMuhJ3R76&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=WHATS_APP
