Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Looks a lovely car. Make sure the car gets correctly registered with DVLA as we've seen other members have issues regarding emissions classifications etc because the correct paperwork wasn't supplied. Make sure you get the certificate of conformity from Singapore Audi. Celtic are well known and respected.

Not sure yet, suspected crank failure. Hoping to get the sump off to inspect it. The only issue with dropping the subframe is getting it realigned afterwards. I'm thinking leaving it in so it's rolling. Like this...

Please keep us posted on how you get on with the S6.

Touche! 😂 Haha 🤣 I must admit, I've been doing this whilst my wife is out 😂 I may end up buying a new one anyway but will keep this as a spare. Have you any any experience with aftermarket ones such as on auto doc etc? Are they of inferior quality to the genuine Audi one which is now obsolete. Also without sounding daft, can I get the plug wet that's for the coolant level sensor? I've kept it dry this far but if it were to go in a dishwasher etc then it'd get wet.

Glad it sold 👍

I'd take this back to the dealer you bought it from for diagnosis. If bought within the last 39 days the repair should be free

Same as the new Dacia bigster 1.8, it's a Chinese built engine.

Thanks both, il get hold of a dishwasher tablet. I haven't got a dishwasher unfortunately. I've mixed in washing no bio gel to see if it removes any staining.

It will depend on numbers. My A6 still off the road, and my friend moved to Norway so that's two of us down.

Fair doos

Could you not look at getting one now as you're looking to replace your current A4?

Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 What other models are you considering?

Thank you

Been a little quiet this week due to a family member on end of life care and my friend unavailable to assist As such I've not been able to get the sump off but I have left my expansion tank to soak in bicarbonate soda on a recommendation from a mechanic colleague. I've not soaked the sensor connector, for anyone worried. My rationale is that the original expansion tank will be better quality than any replacement?

Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Further investigation required then and you'll need to decide what route you take.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could just be a boost pipe that's failed so check them first for leaks.

Now this is it ironic, after what I said 🤦‍♂️ I think the car knew you were looking to get rid of it so it's playing up now lol. Has the issue happened just once? If so, I'd record the codes but then clear them and see if they come back. For reference a turbo will cost around £600 I think. If it is the turbo, do t buy one of those cheap Chinese ones as they're often known to fail just outside of the 1 year warranty. As you were after more power anyway, now could be the time to get a hybrid turbo, front mounted intercooler and a remap. After all you did say you wanted to keep the call long term.

Will look great with those wheels. You could just source genuine Audi s line suspension (shocks/springs) which should lower it by 30mm. And shouldn't be too expensive. Don't forget you'll need to get tracking done after you lower it.

What are the codes relating to sorry? Pcv are common if I'm not mistaken.

The blue is stunning. Don't be put off too much by the auto. It is a good gearbox as long as it's got a proven service record. The megatronics unit is what fails on Audi autos.

Does it fit in the door pocket?

It'll need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. What does the error message say?
