  1. To add satnav Audi will charge you around £500.
  2. Common problem on vag cars of this era. Mine is on the way out too.
  3. I watched it. Seeing the reduced range of the 9 year old leaf shows that electric cars aren't the future. As no one will want to keep a car which has an unpredictable range. As such I can see a cars life span being reduced from the current average of 13 years down to something like 7-8 years. Which will mean the production cost of the use of carbon will increase. I do not believe electric cars are the future. Synthetic fuel is the future. Plus free tax and cheap running costs will disappear once the majority have them. Road tax will be put on them, plus I can see the electric chargers will be monitored. Ie. Instead of paying one electric bill currently you will have two. Once for conventional electric use for home and a separate one for the car charger. The car charger will be a smart charger so they can know. At which point the government will engineer it so you Pay at least £60 for a full charge.
  4. You'll need a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up.
  5. My advice would be to test drive one as your experience may differ to that of whst the motoring press say.

    Not a direct fit.
  7. Hmm it might need to go to Audi for further diagnosis in my opinion.
  8. No probs at all. Unfortunately as cars get more technology focused the more features will become subscription services. I saw an article where bmw were looking at doing this for heated seats and other features that would be activated at a cost through the infotainment screen.
  9. How strange. Is this an issue with the screen I wonder?
  10. You e done a great amount of diagnostic work. You could change the light units or the harness I appreciate the latter you found no corrosion though. Or a diagnostic check.
  11. I would seriously do you're research into car covers. As sone have been known to cause paint blisters.
  12. I suspect you're correct and relates to certain product years. Have you noticed that the headrest pic looks like the head of starwars android.
  13. I think you need to get a diagnostic check or an auto electrician to take a look. Makes me wonder if there's a module failure of some sort.
  14. Welcome to the forum Ben, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 whst a great story. I hope you get the Quattro sorted soon. My uncle had a Volvo 480 which he wrote off when he hit a bridge.
  15. Welcome to the forum Ash, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch ☺️ sorry to hear of your issues.
  16. Even though it's just ran out of warranty I'd still let Audi take a look as there should be some good will if it is faulty.
  17. Glad you got sorted 🙂
  18. This could be the alternator bearing.
  19. Yea the standard bumper should fit.
  20. Audi should be in able to give you the part number. You'll need one that matches your engine and gearbox spec.
  21. Might be worth seeing if any glue has come unstuck especially around the rear window. Might be worth speaking to a roof specialist.
  22. Glad you got sorted ☺️
  23. Lol. My great gran always said it's better to have a good used item then a cheap new one.
  24. It drives me mad. It's more concerning is how brainwashed people are though about them.
  25. Most definitely not lol. Synthetic fuel or hydrogen fuel cells are the future. Anyone who buys an electric car is buying in essence a betamax 😆
