Glad you got sorted Martyn :) Have you got any pics of the new install? :) Cheers Steve

Thanks! :) Darn it! Well in light of the clue I'm going to say either to do with insurance or banger racing or similar.

Well we all learn from experience :) let us know if you need any help :)

Hi Steve, If no one has one then I'd say your best bet would be eBay or the main dealer. Sorry if this is stating the obvious. They shouldn't be too expensive new I would have thought. Cheers Steve

Yep, the engine and gearbox have never been rebuilt :)

You're welcome, glad I could help :) The 1.8 engine is good as long as it's been looked after. It's worth checking the service history to see what work it's had done. The manual 6 speed gearboxes are good I've never had an issue with my a6 6 speed and it's now on 328k :) Cheers Steve

Lol let's hope not! Mind you that would be interesting to see on the tracker!!

Not long to go now then! :)

As we are probably all aware barn/field finds are hot topics right now in the car world. Here's a selection of pictures of abandoned Audi's from Google images. Enjoy! :)

I bet it does! But I can understand why they can give you an exact time frame as it's all down to how many cars they can manufacture and how quickly.

What a guess! 😀 Here's a new one it's from a film that started out as a comic

Taken?

Now the Automobile Association started out as a type of club if I'm correct. And at the time 20s-30s they did road rallies to test a cars endurance and reliability. The RAC did this too. I do hope I'm correct :) Abit random but here's a pic of me with an old AA box in Norfolk :)

Glad you're happy with it :) should be a lovely car :)

You're welcome :) Very nice :)

Hi Nizam, The old rule of thumb was what ever the manufacturer implied take atleast 10mpg off it. I'd suspect that around town youd be getting g low 30s and obviously a mixture of driving this may go up to mid 40s at a guess. Cheers Steve

Not a problem Paul, see you at simply Audi :) once I hear anything more about this cruise then I'll let you know :)

You're welcome :) Hmm, well if it's the EGR/ EGR cooler than this could be expensive to fix. When I worked at volkswagen in the service department it would cost over £1k to fix sorry to say. Here's the link to the Audi website to help with regard to the emissions recall: https://www.audi.co.uk/owners-area/emissions/check-your-car.html Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I'm assuming you're looking at getting a mk1 TT? As you are considering a auto it'll be a DSG auto. It's worth checking to see when the gearbox oil was changed and that the gears change smoothly both in manual and auto modes. With regard to quattro, it's a great system but can be sensitive and can be damaged by things such as uneven Tyre wear or mis-matched tyres on the same axle. So it's important to check that it's working. The major recall on the early mk1 TT was the instrument cluster which would fail and I suspect it should have been carried out on any TT you are looking at. Naturally it is very important that the cluster is working as replacements can cost up to £2k. Here's a YouTube video which may help: Cheers Steve

Hi Alan, are you looking for a debadge grill or normal grill? Also for the heads up, I believe l the RS grills don't fit. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Andy, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) My first port of call would be to get the battery checked to see how healthy it is (halfords can offer this service). I suggest this because once a battery starts to fail it can throw up various electrical issues. The normal life span of a battery is 5-7 years so you could be due a new one if you haven't had one already. In failing that it would be worth getting a diagnostic check carried out to see what fault codes flag up. Hope I've helped. Cheers Steve

I do hope the issue gets sorted Ken and sorry you've been put off the brand. Cheers Steve
