  1. I can't say my A6 has this (2.5tdi). Are you sure there's no additional electrical equipment fitted? Or previously fitted? Do you know the cars history? It must have had additional bits added if it was a working vehicle. Signs of this would be holes drilled into bodywork or interior. Or unusual blanking covers that look out of place. Alternatively follow the wire to see where it goes. If it goes towards the engine bay could it be for electric fan?
  2. How did you get on viewing the Q3?
  3. Please keep us posted on how you get on
  4. Further to Gareth's sound advice, if it's not the battery it could be a sensor or the rack itself.
  5. You're welcome 🙂
  6. I have to say the same, thank you so much Paul for sharing your knowledge and review. It's very rare we get this from new members. Keith I'm pleased the information has been useful, please keep us posted on how you get on searching for an A8. Cheers Steve
  7. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂
  8. Let us know how the test drive goes. You might find the saloon slightly different. Not sure about that to be honest. What about an S4?
  9. Ah, more unlikely it being that then. Unless not correctly coded to the car. Id guess a sensor. Not sure what diagnostic tool that's been used but it might need a more sophisticated one from Audi or an Audi independent specialist. Also a bit more unusual would be an issue with the instrument cluster.
  10. I think I'd be worth you test driving the s3 saloon to see how that feels compared to your old s3. What if you look at an sq3?
  11. Have you had the battery checked? A failing battery can cause all sorts of electrical gremlins.
  12. Unless I've missed it, what colour wing are you looking for? Also I dont think A3 wings fit the A4 unfortunately.
  13. That is a worry. Hopefully they rectify this quickly
  14. Think the top of the dash gets covered in leather. Or it does in the US anyway.
  15. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 yep I'd recommend you get the gearbox serviced sooner rather than later.
  16. Don't get me started. I know how hard it is to find people to work on audis.
  17. Have you tried eBay but including international sellers?
  18. Have you tried Chapmans Audi specialist in Leicester? I've not used them but worth a shot?
  19. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. You sure there's not a fly ect in the car? Or lock the car with someone inside to test the fly theory. I think the alarm is in the boot
  20. Definitely worth getting the ECU testing place to have a go fixing it. Surely the gearbox specialist you've previously used could remove the megatronic unit?
  21. There's a picture of the buzzer in the back of the cluster here: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a4-a4-cabriolet-s4-forum-b6-chassis/84577-buzzer.html
  22. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. I'd suspect a faulty switch or wiring.
  23. I notice on the other post you've had a dpf and egr delete. I wonder if this has anything to do with this work and the remap? Apparently the removal of a dpf ect can increase engine temps which can put more strain on pistons, turbo ect.
  24. Glad you got sorted
  25. I'd recommend Yiu try eBay.
