Welcome to the forum Jamie, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Have you had a diagnostic check carried out to see what fault codes flag up? I'm wondering if the noise is linked to the heating/air con system but I am just guessing here. Cheers Steve

Glad you've had a result Benjamin :) and fingers crossed you'll.have some more happy, trouble free miles :) Cheers Steve

Looking great George! :) Not seen you on here in a little while. You ok?

Welcome to the forum Mario, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Vibration through the steering when braking sounds like warped discs in my opinion. When we're the brakes last changed? Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Ryan, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) The other things you could look at changing are the ht leads, distributor and spark plugs to see if that improves the starting of the a4. Cheers Steve

You're welcome :)

Racing

Wow! Your a5 looks stunning! And I hope it was worth the wait :) Cheers Steve

Your a3 looks great Lewiigee :) Cheers Steve

Done and done :)

Cars

Nice one! The last sleep takes the longest!

Fair point, and yes to have the facelifted bumper then you'll need the bonnet (as you rightly pointed out) plus wings and headlights. I appreciate where cliff is coming from but I think you'd be ok to cut the yellow highlighted piece out. You then would need to make the custom grill mesh. However you may find you need to add extra bracing to the bumper as you may affect it's rigidity. Cheers Steve

Thanks for you're kind words Gareth, but I have to say numbers and maths are not my strong point! Hmm if 23 is wrong then is the numbering system similar to Vw?

Wanting

Glad you've got some sort of a result Wes, please keep us posted on how you get on :) I do admit the whole situation has been handled poorly.

Bet you can't wait :)

You're probably right and I didn't think about it like that before (I know that sounds stupid!). Let's hope there's a good result from it :)

Couldn't agree more!! I'll look forward to seeing pics of your a5 :) When do you collect it? Cheers Steve

Agreed! I'm like you and notice all the little noises and scratches etc. The garage thinks I'm crazy sometimes but I've always been proven right. Just glad we can help :) Cheers Steve

Nice one Tom! It certainly sounds good! As I say you should come and display your a3 at the up and coming shows :) Cheers Steve

Please keep.us posted on how you get on :) I think when you've owned a car from new, I find you take a greater pride in it's condition. My a6 has been owned by my family from new and is impeccably maintained despite it being 16 years old. Cheers Steve

Audi's Motorsport boss Dieter Gass had admitted that the new aerodynamic regulations will disadvantage Audi in the up and coming 2018 season. This disadvantage is most likely help Audi's rivals Mercedes who lost out to Audi last year to Audi as Audi won both the teams and manufacturers titles last year. The new rules decrease the level of downforce by approximately 1/3. At least this will make the race season even more entertaining to watch!

Hmm well I'm wondering if a tyre is rubbing on the wheel arch liner or other component?
