  1. I'll have to order it from Romania but I'll wait till I see what the true level of damage is.
  2. No probs at all. Keep us posted on how you get on.
  3. 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?
  4. 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
  5. Yea I meant to get one prior to now 🤦‍♂️
  6. Mines a 2.5tdi. it's at the garage now so we'll see how much damage I've really done.
  7. Well done for doing all that servicing work yourself. This YouTube video might help to show you how to do it etc.
  8. 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?
  9. Definitely! At least it happened just before my service not after. Very true 🙂 Hoping the replacement sump won't cost too much to buy.
  10. Exactly. Same with the gearbox
  11. Plus what's the mechanical condition of it? And service history?
  12. Yep. Holed it good and proper! Just annoyed at myself I didn't order the steel undertray I kept saying I'd get.
  13. I guess it depends how much rot it has.
  14. I think you might struggle as don't the AC system have to be worked on by a professional due to the harmful gasses entering the atmosphere
  15. Well crap, there goes the sump 🤦‍♂️ on the plus side at least the car is drained of oil for its service which is due In the next 3 weeks. Plus the underside is well oiled, which should prevent rust for the next 10 years 😂
  16. No probs at all 🙂
  17. Hmm that I don't know
  18. Keep us posted on how you get on 🙂
  19. I agree with Gregg, if it's a metallic rattling sound then it could be a heat shield. It could also be a failed exhaust mount causing the exhaust to bang on the underside of the car.
  20. The A8 will be lovely once fixed. That quattro certainly is a project!!
  21. I agree with Gareth, you need to be speaking to the warranty company asap. As Gareth has suggested it could be something as simple as the expansion tank cap not sealing properly.
  22. Where have you tried so far? I'd always look at eBay first.
  23. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Lovely looking car 👍 I'd recommend speaking to local auto locksmiths. Also there are plenty of shows this year where we're having club displays. You'd be more than welcome to display your Audi with us. Have a look under the events section. First show is 16th April. Simply Audi at beaulieu, it's the best show of the season.
  24. Sounds a bit too long.in my opinion
