  1. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Glad you're happy with your a8. They're lovely cars 👍
  2. Definitely still looking great 👍
  3. Yep the sump is the lowest point. I may have a water leak too but I think it's the washer bottle.
  4. Other than eBay, my advice would be to look at international sellers on eBay.
  5. Not sure on any local specialists in your area. Yea could be worth you getting a code reader.
  6. No way! What are they doing/not doing?
  7. Looks like some of the pixels have gone on your LCD screen, however I think I can identify it as a bulb out.
  8. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up. Could be an issue with a lambda sensor or cats.
  9. Thanks Steve, it's definitely just cracked and holed. Not bent in so hopefully it'll be ok. I won't be surprised if I did other damage to the running gear or suspension. I won't know untill the garage can inspect it thoroughly later in the week. The suspense is killing me
  10. No probs at all, don't worry my A6 will come fighting back one way or another. Just hope the sump didn't push into the bottom of the block. That's my biggest fear.
  11. No probs at all 🙂 great idea 👍
  12. Yea they do I believe as do xenons.
  13. I'll have to order it from Romania but I'll wait till I see what the true level of damage is.
  14. No probs at all. Keep us posted on how you get on.
  15. Is the car fitted with a duel mass flywheel? If so this should be fitted at the same time as the clutch ideally. Could it be a slipping timing belt/chain?
  16. The sensors are notorious for failing. The adblue systems have been added by most manufacturers now to reduce the nitrates from the exhaust, not necessarily because of the emissions scandal. Adblue systems have been fitted to lorries for at least 10 years or more. I'd recommend speaking to an Audi independent specialist to get another quote
  17. Yea I meant to get one prior to now 🤦‍♂️
  18. Mines a 2.5tdi. it's at the garage now so we'll see how much damage I've really done.
  19. Well done for doing all that servicing work yourself. This YouTube video might help to show you how to do it etc.
  20. Could be the switch but could also be the module. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Also when was the gearbox last serviced?
  21. Definitely! At least it happened just before my service not after. Very true 🙂 Hoping the replacement sump won't cost too much to buy.
