Very good question. I'd speak to a independent towbar fitter about activating it.

The sensors can pick up of there's something is blocking the roof movement. We've had other members who have had shoes and all sorts blocking the roof mechanism. Check behind the rear seats. In failing that I'd advise a diagnostic check.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 lovely looking RS3 you have there 👍

No probs

What a cracking show. Was great to meet up with old friends. Here's some pics. No Audi's on display though.

Yes I believe you're correct.

Petrol is definitely best for the driving you do. One main issue is the brake servo restricted issue. You'll find an extensive post about it on here. Also check out YouTube for some good buyers guides.

I'd get a diagnostic check. Buy could be a MAF sensor. See if it runs better If you disconnect the MAF sensor.

You're welcome 🙂

Don't go there, my local tyre place says tyre prices are going up nearly daily!

Looks a very nice car 🙂 the d3 is my favourite a8. Here's a video of how to change the motor:

You could always look at a headunit upgrade but it won't be cheap.

Yep you could get one made by a Russian company for various Audi models including the c5. Was contemplating one for when I can get back out on my more scenic road trips lol.

Looking online.it appears to be grey. Think the S3 had a green one? This link might help too: https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Audi_B6_A4/13-WATER-Coolant_Temperature_Sensor_Replacement/13-WATER-Coolant_Temperature_Sensor_Replacement.htm

We'll be getting to the show for 9ish. For the heads up there won't be a club display at this event. But we'll look forward to seeing any members who attend 🙂

In my opinion most warranties aren't worth the paper they're written on, excluding the manufacturer approved warranties. You'll pay more but it's the one I'd choose. But definitely read the small print of what's covered/not covered.

Wow thanks for the link kev! Unfortunately they're in Belarus which if I'm not mistaken is going to come under sanctions due to the ongoing war. It was like the steel undertray I wanted. It would have come from Russia so can't get that now.

Sorry it didn't come free. !Removed! annoying when that happens. Hopefully the garage can sort it quickly for you 🙂

Glad you got sorted 🙂

I'd keep it on a smart charger. Like a trickle charger but one that knows when the battery needs charging etc.
