Steve Q

You're welcome 🙂 as you've tried another a4 my theory is that the two systems aren't designed to work together for some strange reason. have you spoke to Audi about this?

Wow, it certainly sounds a bicer motor! Does amaze me how Austin still has a connection to people long after the brand is gone. The first ever car my family owned was a second hand 1930s Austin 10 chrome grill (1932-1934 model) in black, purchased in approx 1954. My grandad bought it from a scrapyard and did it up to some degree. Used it a number of years then scrapped it himself.

They're lovely motors and the avant is so practical 🙂

It's a tricky question if no one has seen the part before. Especially something bso small it would be easily missed by most. I wonder if it's a gromet holding the bonnet insulation in place? Or a gromet to fit somewhere near the bulkhead? My suspicion is that there will be lots of them somewhere in the engine bay, like the bulkhead area etc.

Welcome to the forum Simon, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 do you know if your power steering is elecric or hydraulic? This should be in the manual. If it's electric I'm wondering if it's worth getting the battery tested as a lot if electrical issue ls can be traced back to a failing battery. If it's hydraulic, have you checked the fluid level? A leak would obviously affect nthe steering. if it's not that, have you hit anything recently? Pot hole, animal etc which could have knocked out the tracking or bent a track rod etc? cheers Steve

Hi Andy, I suspect the q5 would need to go in for the day but apart from recoding I don't think Audi would want to do much. I would definitely get them to check the wireless cradle though, as it should work every time in my opinion. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Jack, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 my key question is where did you get your car serviced and who told you you need new shocks and brakes? audi do offer a free health check if you're not convinced on what your garage has said. cheers Steve

Supras are lovely! And to be fair the 535d is one of the quicker diesel out there. The s4 will be nice as the quattro will be ideal for your scotish winters 🙂 Don't be put off by the auto as it isn't a bad gearbox 🙂 cheers Steve

True, but it sounds to me like it's not attached sufficiently. I would have thought it just screws in place so in order for the bulb to be replaced easily. If not then I wonder if it's clipped in place and maybe a clip is broken, hence the rattle? Cheers Steve

Glad you got sorted 🙂 and I do t blame you for not wanting to go back to that dealer! Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Mo, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 My first port of call would be to see if there's a loose wire and you may need to remove the armrest or parts of the centre console to see this. cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum William, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 my advice would be to get a diagnostic check carried out to see what fault codes flag up. cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Jason, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 i believe the racks are the same but are you sure it's not just the pump that's failed and leaking? cheers Steve

Hi Ian, sorry to hear of your issue. I'm sure there have been reports of antenna failure which could be the issue. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Ryan, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 my advice would be to look for a custom exhaust supplier, there should be a few in Birmingham I suspect. They can build the system you want and will fit it etc. cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Paul, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 as Audi have admitted it's a known fault what are they going to do to rectify it? is there a recall I wonder? cheers Steve

Still not heard anything back from the organisers yet unfortunately. But when I do I'll let you all know 🙂

Welcome to the forum Gavin, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 i think 4 weeks or under is optimistic but the build date will partly depend on what extras you ordered. For example you'll wait longer if you ordered special paint or a sunroof for example. But either way I think you'll be waiting 6-8 weeks at least. have Audi not given you the build tracker so you can follow it's progress? cheers Steve

Sorry to hear this Filip, let's hope they don't send you a letter but.they do have the right to obtain your details from.DVLA I believe. Sorry I can't help you more. Would love to read about your trip in Germany if you get a chance. Cheers Steve

You're welcome 🙂

Such great cars Pete! And I'm not surprised you regret selling it. We've had a few Ford escort of various models through the years, unfortunately non of them RS models though!

Nice to see another local (to me) on here Pete 🙂 my days consist of working and carering for my gran and her disabled daughter (my aunt) so I'm.kept busy and out of trouble! hot rods are awesome! What model is it? cheers Steve

Hi Robert, sorry to hear of your issues and I can see your sensible logic in having dashcams for expensive Audi's such as yours. What have Audi offered to resolve the issue? Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Simon, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 unfortunately However I don't think there are many SQ5 owners in here believe it or not! serving wise you'll have to factor ni. Costs for the engine, day gearbox and quattro system as they all have different service requirements. also tyre should be the same on each axle so as not to damage the quattro system babd the tyres should be wearing evenly. I suspect the SQ5 will have xenon headlights and in which case a bulb can cost you approx £150-£180 to replace. hope I've helped in.someway. cheers Steve
