  1. Does the pump have to be coded to the car and if so has this been done correctly? Regarding the egr what kind of driving do you do, could it be blocked again?
  2. Think they should just pop out when using a screwdriver or similar
  3. Sorry to hear of your situation. I don't blame you for wanting to change the c7 I'd say drive a c8 and see what you think. The fact it's newer would help improve reliability.
  4. Darkside seem pretty good. For what I need they seem to be the best value for an uprated clutch with dmf.
  5. How old is the battery, if the cars been sat and battery is fudged then it can cause unusual fault codes as a failing battery causes electrical gremlins
  6. If you kill the power to it by disconnecting the battery then you'll need the radio code for when you turn it back on
  7. Could it be the sensor that lets the lights know the doors open? Have you done a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up?
  8. I don't think it'd fit. But if yours is the 1.9pd which I think it is then I think the 01e 6 speed gearbox might fit. Clutch diameter is 245mm I believe. Or this Is the case with my A6 01e, but it's mated to the 2.5tdi. But 6 speed was fitted to the 1.9pd I'm certain.
  9. Speaking as someone with a wrecked engine on a a6 c5, unless you get an engine with an identical engine code you'll have to code any different engine to the ECU, injection pump and instrument cluster. At least that's the case with my A6. My A6 has a one year only version of the 2.5 and finding another has been a nightmare.
  10. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. As it's under warranty I'd be getting it to Audi. It's good youve recorded it.
  11. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be an issue with the turbo
  12. Have a look at powerflow exhausts. My brother and friend has used them and been happy with the results. Budget £500-600 at a guess
  13. An imobiliser issue will prevent it running as ECU imobiliser blocks the fuel pump. Are there any lights on the dash. Also is it worth getting a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up?
  14. Flat bottom wheel makes all the difference.
  15. Definitely get them to fix this properly before you collect
  16. I can't say I've heard anything of the sort yet. But I know they were investigating the vehicle owner of the car that caught fire on criminal damage charges etc.
  17. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 if it's from a dealer it's their responsibility to make sure these issues are fully rectified before you collect the vehicle
  18. Glad you got sorted 🙂
  19. I wonder if the security system on the radio has failed?
  20. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 really glad the forum has helped you 🙂
  21. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 1996 looks lovely 🙂 glad you're pleased with your newer A3 👍
  22. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂
  23. You're welcome 🙂
  24. Happy new year. No probs at all
  25. Beautiful. I always liked flamenco red. It's got my favourite xjs wheels. They're only just getting the appreciation they deserve
