  1. Glad it's sorted, what was the cause? Erm you'll need the wiring, modules, ballast boxes and headlights I believe. It'll have to be coded to the car too. Definitely a job for a professional. I know other members have use autologics for retrofits and have nothing but praise for them.
  2. Have to say it looks a lovely example with some nice options and lovely colour 🙂
  3. Nope he's right. Since the market for cars has exploded all cars are worth a lot more. For example Gareth before the inflation my A6 was worth £500-750. Now it's worth around £2k.
  4. Sorry to hear that. I could be retrofitted. I know other members have used autologics for retrofits.
  5. For how cheap the part is I wouldn't put it off in my opinion. Especially when the braking system is arguably the most important system in the car.
  6. I can't speak for your Q7, but on my a6 and later Audi's in the mid Noughties the fuel pump had an ECU built in. In most cases it can be rebuilt but most companies will only refurbish to manufacture specs. They won't modify them. Again in the case of my A6 the pumps are manufactured by Bosh. And I wouldn't be surprised if they manufactured them for the Q7.
  7. Couldn't agree more with you 👍
  8. I'd change the sensor anyway if you haven't already as the car could just be masking the problem in your case. I'd advise changing the sensor anyway. As it could lead to a big bill otherwise. Bet safe than sorry in my opinion.
  9. Take a look on this thread: I think a lot of your questions will be answered. I'd also recommend watching buyers guides on YouTube.
  10. Have you tried using a German address for on demand to see if you can get the extra features that way?
  11. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

  13. I can only assume the wipers don't work if the bonnet is open as the wipers must foul on the edge of the bonnet.
  14. The pressure switch you can change yourself. Not worth the risk of doing further damage.
  15. Wipers won't work if the car thinks the bonnet is up. Common on the mk5 golf (electrically same as A3) and it's the bonnet switch on the catch that packs up the best way to test it is to disconnect it at the plug near the top of the rad area left hand side as you look at it with that disconnected it puts then into failsafe then you can use them hope that helps. Alternatively the workers in the back of the fusebox in the engine bay can become loose too.
  16. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up. Usually it's a failed sensor, sensor wiring or module.
  17. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 I do love an E39. The best 5 series in my opinion. My mates dad had one with the full ac Schnitzer bodykit and wheels. Stunning motor it was.
  18. Glad its all resolved 🤞 let's hope it stays that way! My A6 is sentimental so I consider the cost worth it. When I get it done I'm going to get a specialist to do it and move it from off the floor to another location to protect it.
  19. This video should help: And here's an example of what you need: https://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/stereo-fittings/audi-installation-kit-ctkau01-577715.html?istCompanyId=b8708c57-7a02-4cf6-b2c0-dc36b54a327e&istFeedId=367c5610-f937-4c81-8609-f84582324cd6&istItemId=wirxtppmt&istBid=t&_$ja=tsid:|cid:16710940973|agid:|tid:|crid:|nw:x|rnd:5504221901323466582|dvc:m|adp:|mt:|loc:1006867&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpv2TBhDoARIsALBnVnnhiVPfUOld-jAQbCCwdHmYtec2tlp7b7_fnyREVO_7paGhFpdQ-yYaAn7_EALw_wcB
  20. You're welcome, glad we could help. Fingers crossed its just a battery 🤞
  21. Apologies I'd mis read that. The finance company is still the best bet then if bought on finance. I think the warranty will depend on the dealer franchise won't it? Another option is to contact the motoring ombudsman.
  22. I believe.theres two. I do agree with Gareth that a diagnostic check is a good idea.
