I can't give specific advice on this engine but I like to do preventative maintenance on mine too. Definitely make sure the car is regularly serviced, mine is over serviced if anything. You could change the pump for peace of mind. Or speak to tuners such as darkside developments, Revo or Celtic tuning to see if they can advise on an upgraded/heavy duty fuel pump. You might find your pump or similar variants are fitted to other vehicles.

Quattro is the 4wd. I'd recommend going off the part number. That's what I've had to do recently to get the lower and upper sumps for mine. Once you have the part number you can put that in eBay search bar.

If it's a rattle and car has timing chain then this could definitely be the cause. I'm.dyre certain Audi's suggested from tensioner or chain failures.

You've done a great amount of work so far. It the gearbox control module be at fault I wonder?

Sounds good to me, I'd definitely leave it in auto mode.

I'd recommend a more sophisticated diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. It could be a failing sensor.

Does it not come as one unit with the pump?

Looks lovely, good on ya for getting it road worthy again 👍 just in time for spring too!

I'd be looking at similar cars on eBay and autotrader. Don't bother with we buy any car etc as the car your selling will be a future classic, especially with the colour and trim selected and low miles.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up or to reset the mmi to see if that resolved it.

This should be interesting to watch 🙂

I surprised Audi can't help. I'd definitely get it booked in with them or an Audi specialist. Have you tried to reset the unit?

Is this a feature that can be activated? There was talk that this feature was going to be outlawed. It's outlawed in certain European countries already.

Could it be burning oil? Any smoke from the exhaust? I'd still recommend getting it checked by a garage

You're welcome 🙂 don't forget to check out the events section. You'd be more than welcome to display your Audi on our club displays 👍

Hello all, Starting to prep for the arctic circle road trip. These are the upgrades I'm considering. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Pic 1 - I have roof rack similar to this one. Pic 2-4 30mm body lift kit which mounts to the top of the suspension. Pic - 5-6 numberplate spotlight bar. (On order) Pic 7-8 towbar luggage rack (potentially) Pic 9-10 steel undertray Also I'd like to fit tyres with a taller side wall. Current tyres are 205/55/16. Would 205/80/26 all terrain tyres fit? Thanks for any advice received.

Yep it'll need to be coded. You might find you need a different antenna. Might be worth you speaking to autologics or Audi retrofits to get more advice. Members have used both of these with success.

Yep I'd take it back. Could it be something catching on the wheel?

My first port of call is eBay usually

When my old battery was failing on my c5 it would trow up braking light warnings.

As I say try eBay.

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

Yep could be a power steering issue. If it's been purchased from a dealer within the last 30 days then you are entitled for the dealer to repair it FOC or for all your money back

I'm not sure if there is a way you can find out.

Yep, but unfortunately all manufacturers seem to find off these days. I've experienced it with VW, Audi, ford and vauxhall.
