  1. Sounds like it's had a remap too.
  2. I'd recommend changing the sensor
  3. Sounds like a dodgy thermostat
  4. It's a nightmare. If you're trying to prove your box you'll need a certificate of conformity from Audi. Also bare in mind personal registrations aren't recognised by tfl and will charge.
  5. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂
  6. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂
  7. I agree with cliff, sounds like an issue with dmf or clutch.
  8. Think the current tips will just have a screw holding on the trim. Then measure the diameter of the exhaust without the trim on if that makes sense
  9. Where exactly is it coming from on the front?
  10. Please keep us posted on how you get on
  11. Had you done a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up? Could be an issue with the pump itself.
  12. Keep us posted on how you get on. I hope they've given you a courtesy car
  13. Hi Grant I believe Gareth is right. Also bare in mind if you have xenon headlights then the headlight washers are compulsory for the MOT.
  14. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂
  15. Glad you're making progress 🙂
  16. Thank you 🙂 yea it looks Like the Audi would take the isuzu identity as the DVLA have a points system. Keeping the isuzu running gear keeps it with 8 points. The alternative engine is a 3.1 isuzu engine. As I say it's proving difficult to source certain parts these days for the Audi. At least for the isuzu I can guarantee simplicity, durability, reliability and parts availability
  17. As we know I'm a dreamer, but a have a serious goal of guaranteeing the longevity of the A6. I'm supposed to be getting an engine transplant for the A6, but this keeps getting further and further delayed and I'm getting impatient which got me thinking, dangerous I know! Also another off the wall/pie in the sky idea. I notice the wheel base of the Isuzu trooper lwb and A6 is very similar..... I've seen other cars fitted to ladder chassis and it got me thinking. That way I have the comfort of the A6 but durability of a proper off roader, which would be ideal for future road trips. As well as better parts availability, and easier to repair 😉 I'm wondering how it would work regarding DVLA as I'd like to keep the Audi's current reg. However I think if the body is mounted to the isuzu chassis and has full Isuzu running gear then it would have to have the isuzu reg? In which case the only way round that is buy a 2002 isuzu or younger and transfer the Audi plate to it? Please see attached pictures of the dimensions of both. And a picture of a merc estate as a rough idea but obviously not as high as I'd be keeping the isuzu stock, other than changing to the bullet proof 2.8 4jz engine. I appreciate this wouldn't be cheap, baring in mind I'm expecting a current rebuild cost of £3k for the A6 current transplant for parts and labour.
  18. As you've bought it from a dealer it's their responsibility to fix this free of charge as you're entitled to a full refund in the first 30 days.
  19. The fact the pd engine was so common it should make you're life easier.
  20. You'll need new lights, modules etc and have it all coded. I'd recommend you speak to autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them for retrofits and been happy with the results
