  1. Could be exhaust or could be a failing engine mount and the engine movement is pulling on the exhaust
  2. I think you've hit the nail on the head to be honest. See if you can dry out the emu and get all drain holes clear of leaves etc. Once dry see if ye problem persists. If it does then replacement is usually the only option
  3. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch. One key thing to think is do you want one with 5,6 or 7 seats. Tech packs are very useful Check the mmi on the vehicle. As higher the better. Check service history. Mainly for proof of gearbox oil services and if it's had any work done the air suspension as that's the biggest problem with them. 2011 was the year that the car got an 8 speed gear box instead of the 6 speed in 2010 and earlier. I think there was a slight facelift too and a slight engine refinement but the main difference is the gearbox which makes it better on fuel and nicer to drive on the motorway. It might of got the start stop too. Early 2011 cars (60 plate) and some early 11 plate cars probably won’t have the revisions. Get one with the 8 speed box it’s a lot nicer to drive
  4. If the code is relating to a egr cooler then it could be.
  5. Speak to autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them and been happy with the results
  6. Glad you got sorted 🙂
  7. No you shouldn't need the centre box for MOT as it's just a silencer. If you're struggling you could always upgrade to a stainless steel exhaust. I'd recommend powerflow exhausts as my friends and brother has used them and been happy with the results.
  8. I'd guess it's either under the driver's seat or behind the AC control unit where the seat heated switches are.
  9. I'm not sure but I think it's the same one fitted to polos and golfs.
  10. Take a look at this article I did 3 years ago. I'd advise against boring out the block in my opinion. Especially when you can get good gains with a 1.8t with a stock block.
  11. You've done a good amount of diagnostic work already. Is it worth buying a second hand head unit to see if that resolved the problem?
  12. I agree with Gareths advice, might be worth getting a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up
  13. Is it worth getting the dpf actually dismantled for inspection? Or a forced regen? I appreciate it regen'd the other day.
  14. Looks great and merry Christmas 🎄🎁🙂
  15. Don't blame you! Please keep us posted on how you get on
  16. I'd recommend you get a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. A failing battery can cause windows to suddenly drop, but this shouldn't be the case on a 2023 car. The only other thing I can think of is if you've lent on the key but this I feel is more unlikely
  17. Glad you got sorted and you're welcome 🙂 merry Christmas to you too 🙂🎄🎁🎊⛄
  18. Ive never seen this on a A6 C6 or any other Audi. I'd definitely say something isn't aligned right. My advice would be to get a second opinion with a body shop, mechanic or even Audi.
  19. I'd recommend you contact Jack P on her via a private message. He's a good friend of mine and has fitted a lift bar to his 2007 TT. For the record he now lives in Norway
  20. How did you get in tonite in the end? Have you tried the AA to gain access and do a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up
  21. Is there not a reset option? Might be worth you speaking to autologics or Audi retrofits to see if they can revise it for you?
  22. No probs
  23. Have you looked at darkside developments or Celtic tuning?
  24. We use the one from Screwfix in the works minibus with no faults so far.
  25. Glad you're pleased with the remap
