Glad you got sorted too. I just can't see why al cars can't just come with normal dipsticks. A bit of pub trivia during the occupation of France during WW2 by !Removed! Germany, Citroen lowered the notches on the dipsticks of their lorries so that they would suffer engine failure. https://www.drive.com.au/caradvice/citroens-genius-act-of-sabotage-against-the-!Removed!-in-world-war-ii/

Could there be an issue with the click spring on the steering wheel? Not sure if it would affect the airbag or not
-
That doesn't surprise me with 37 years of use. Sounds it's in the right hands to get it back to good health 🙂
-
This looks stunning!
-
Well Ironically I used to work for available car and their cars a quite good. This was bought from Hilton car supermarket in Milton Keynes. I genuinely thought we'd get a better quality of care from a supermarket 🤦♂️

Audi A4 2002 Quattro bonnet release not working
Steve Q replied to uoapsdb's topic in New Members Introductions
You're best bet is to go underneath. Smashing the grill is a last resort in my book. -
Yep. And this was bought from a car supermarket!
-
That I'm not sure.

Audi customer services.
-
You'll need additional wiring look, the matching clock spring with the new wheel and for it to be coded to the car.

I'm shocked that a main dealer are even selling this car to be honest. If the finance agreement was taken out lat month, I wonder if the person who bought it and took out finance has rejected the car in the first 30 days as there was a problem with it. This could also explain why Audi are being defensive about the history.

Hi Gareth, you're correct it is long life, an error on my part. Yep your correct it should have the service warning. As such It should have had 3 services by my reconning

Glad you've found it 🙂 hopefully that sorts the issue.

Changing from Single-DIN to Double-DIN - A4 2006 Convertible
Steve Q replied to gsmdo's topic in Audi A4 (B7) Forum
Well done Mike glad you got sorted, thank you for this valuable information. -
It's a 2019 car. Lifelong servicing is 20k or 2 years which ever comes first. So this Audi should have had a service in 2021, then in 2023. And now this 3rd one in 2025. Not to mention brake fluid should be changed ever 2 years too. If this car has only just had it's first service definitely avoid.
-
Fantastic stuff. Glad it's got an MOT so it can be used 🙂
-
Sounds lovely! Bet your pleased 🙂 I'll look forward to seeing some pics.
-
They should be able to tell you if it's had all its services as it'll be digitally stored if serviced at an approved dealer. Not telling you the history is an odd one.

Strange “problem” with the transmission box
Steve Q replied to YoyoFur's topic in Audi A6 (C7) Forum
I think wait to see what the Audi service centre says but I won't be surprised if they try and quote you for a new gearbox. If this is the case then it'd be worth searching for a 2nd hand one. You'll need one with the same part number/name as yours. -
Strange “problem” with the transmission box
Steve Q replied to YoyoFur's topic in Audi A6 (C7) Forum
If the gearbox hasn't been serviced there could be something internally wrong with it. The other thing that can go wrong is the megatronics unit but I don't think it'd be that in this case due to the gearbox oil not being changed but the previous owner etc. -
Looks stunning 🙂👍
-
Will keep you posted. Under the 30 day warranty it's already had a clutch, slave cylinder, headlight and electric window switch. It's a 2011 Hyundai i30. It now needs a replacement gearbox!

It is for enthusiasts and your input is very much valued. Funnily enough I'm going through a similar situation, helping a friend who's just purchased a car from a car supermarket. They claimed to have done a minor service but yet haven't proven this, despite Asking for proof. I think following your situation a major service I think is in order. It'll be interesting to see the oil filter on this car.
-
How strange. Thinking about it, the key icon could be suggesting an issue with the imobiliser, key signal receiver etc.
-
Not sure on your engine but if it's the 3.0tdi it's known for timing chain issues.
