  1. Mines a 2.5tdi. it's at the garage now so we'll see how much damage I've really done.
  2. Well done for doing all that servicing work yourself. This YouTube video might help to show you how to do it etc.
  3. 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?
  4. Definitely! At least it happened just before my service not after. Very true 🙂 Hoping the replacement sump won't cost too much to buy.
  5. Exactly. Same with the gearbox
  6. Plus what's the mechanical condition of it? And service history?
  7. Yep. Holed it good and proper! Just annoyed at myself I didn't order the steel undertray I kept saying I'd get.
  8. I guess it depends how much rot it has.
  9. 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
  10. 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 😂
  11. No probs at all 🙂
  12. Hmm that I don't know
  13. Keep us posted on how you get on 🙂
  14. 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.
  15. The A8 will be lovely once fixed. That quattro certainly is a project!!
  16. 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.
  17. Where have you tried so far? I'd always look at eBay first.
  18. 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.
  19. Sounds a bit too long.in my opinion
  20. Slightly more I'd say. I appreciate my A6 and slightly smaller than the current A6 and is old but it does have isofix. I know it would be a tight squeeze in my A6.
  21. Got your work cut out there kev!
  22. Yes I think it could be an ECU issue, but I'm not mechanic
  23. I would say it would be a very tight. Id definitely be looking at an A6 Avant.
  24. That's great bit of advice 😊 thanks for the tip 👍
