    No probs at all glad I could help. It certainly is an expensive retrofit
  2. Steve Q
    Hi Rob if it's bought within the last 30 days then the dealership fix any issues free of charge. What have you tried so far? It could be a door seal, dropped door due to hinge, window seal, loose door trim
  3. Steve Q
    It might need a more sophisticated diagnostic tool from a dealer.
  4. Steve Q
    It will be expensive. I'd recommend you speak to Audi retrofits or autologics as members have used them for retrofits and been pleased with the results. Here's a rough cost: https://vagcodingleicester.co.uk/shop/audi-a5-s5-rs5-b9-virtual-cockpit-mib2-pro-retrofit-2016-2019/

    I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be an issue with the maf sensor, injector or cam position sensor.
  6. Steve Q
    You're most welcome, please keep us posted on how the search goes 🙂
  7. Steve Q
    Glad you got sorted 🙂
  8. Steve Q
    Might have to be coded if it's not in the mmi settings.
  9. Steve Q
    Fantastic news, glad you got it open without causing damage 😊
  10. Steve Q
    Not seen another of that spec. Shame the ride is so harsh.
  11. Steve Q
    Definitely a tough one. My poor A6 has now sat nearly 2 years. As I say it's the coding nonsense that's the problem. Gone are the days where you fit any engine you like unfortunately
  12. Steve Q
    Ultra is top spec 🙂
  13. Steve Q
    To make this work ideally Yiu need to change the headlights the modules etc and then have it all wired in. An easier option would be to fit so e aftermarket ones and have them wired to a separate switch.
  14. Steve Q
    Great spec you're looking at and good idea playing safe with a manual gearbox. Check service history of any car you're looking at including when cambelt and water pump were last changed and gearbox last serviced.
  15. Steve Q
    Glad you're getting it sorted 🙂
  16. Steve Q
    Sorry to hear about your wife. I still think you've done the right thing of having it done. Better safe than sorry in my opinion.
  17. Steve Q
    You'd be mad to let it go over 5 years. Just had mine done on my 8 year old ford Kuga which was originally 10 year interval and belt was already cracking badly.
  18. Steve Q
    Major concern in my opinion. Plus another factor is whilst a petrol/diesel car has fuel the driver is relatively free. Whereas the government can just turn off the car chargers remotely due to smart meters. Same for home energy use eventually
  19. Steve Q
    Kev does raise a good point. You'll know if it's a sticking caliper as the brakes will feel hotter on the side it's pulling when you stop and turn the car off
  20. Steve Q
    Doing hpi checks is wise and you're definitely doing the right thing. I'm assuming you're only looking at private sales and not dealerships?
  21. Steve Q
    Get a proper remap on a rolling road by companies such as darkside developments, Celtic tuning or Revo as examples.
  22. Steve Q
    I do suspect a steering rack or at least a sensor.
  23. Steve Q
    I feel your pain as I'm.in a similar boat with my A6. Mines still off the road as the engine rebuild cost is eye watering. But finding a 2nd hand engine that'll work is just as hard as it all.has to be coded and work with the injection pump, ECU and instrument cluster. If you decide to put in a 2nd engine and you find someone who can do it plus coding please let me know as I'd be very interested.
  24. Steve Q
    Not heard of this before, might be worth having a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up
  25. Steve Q
    Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up regarding the steering rack?
