Perfect! I say do it! :) you'll get more better and maybe better mpg too! ;)

Your most welcome :) a remap is always good, depending on the condition of the car obviously. The remap will probably get rid of the ea189 emissions update. The pics need to be a set size. What I do is save pics from my Facebook and upload them on here. I find it's the easiest way of the pics automatically resizing :) Cheers steve

Welcome to the forum James :) sorry to hear your having issues! Thankfully it should all be covered under warranty! Iv not heard of any similar issues with the q5 but I'm sure other members will be able to help :) cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Edd :) youll find the members on here are a friendly bunch :) you have a cracking a6 model! One of the best specs in my opinion :) feel free to upload some pics :) theres various threads on here about the ea189 recalls. They are well worth a read :) cheers steve

Welcome to the forum :) you'll find the members on here are a friendly bunch :) Unfortunately I can't be much help with your question but I'm sure other members can :) cheers steve

Your welcome :) As I say if it's a vat registered garage you'll be ok, oh and I believe they have to use genuine Audi parts. So glad you got the probs sorted under warranty :) just bare in mind that the bill they show you will be at a reduced labour rate to what they would have charged you if it were out of warranty! Mum no IT expert either but what I do is copy pics from my Facebook page as this reduces the picture size enough :) otherwise you can use a picture resized took/software. But I'm not too clued up with such things unfortunately. Eluld love to see the pics of your Audi and skyline when you do get a chance :) oh and by the way your more than welcome to display your Audi with the club at the upcoming shows we are attending :) cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Chris! :) bet the waits killing you! Great spec of Audi that you've ordered by the way! It'll be worth the wait :) cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Rick :) youll find the members on here are a friendly bunch and will help you where they can :) cheers steve

I have seen these fitted to a3s. Normally people fit them near to the blanking plates on the centre console on the dash. Normally above the radio if that makes sense. Im unsure if you have to update the software but I believe you plug it in the back of the radio. Cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Peter :) depending on your radio you probably can get it activated on the computer or get a plug in, into the back of the radio. Or finally you can get a Bluetooth kit. You'll probs be looking around £150-£300 approx. From companies such as parrot. I have found Audi don't put as much kit in as standard as they base there vehicle price on quality instead of gadgets if that makes sense? Hence why seats and slides will Have it. Hope iv helped cheers Steve

Thanks Trevor :) glad you enjoyed reading it and glad it wasn't boring :) couldnt agree more! Cars are meant to be driven! And I just hope I have inspired other to take road trips. Especially those who have older Audis. As iv proven it can be done in older, high mileage cars :) Thanks :) the car is sweet as a nut! And my brother and I are planing the next one already to Germany! No exact dates sorted though due to other planned holidays and cruises :) il keep you posted :) cheers steve

There's nothing stopping you from taking it to an Audi independent specialist now. As long as it's a vat registered garage your warranty won't be affected :) cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Tom :) thats obscene! When I worked at Volkswagen a minor service (oil change, oil filter etc) for £169. I would say the reason why it's expensive is because it's an rs model. Cheers steve

Your welcome :)

Welcome to the forum Lindsey :) iv found this a4 being broken on eBay if that's any good? It's the correct paint code :) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262935862505 unfortunately the link isn't working but I know it's on eBay. It's being broken by spencerautosalvage2013 alternatively just type in Audi A4 2002 silver breaking and it should be the 3rd listing. cheers Steve

Glad I could help :) Good luck with the purchase. Just remember the age old saying if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Just check the service history (ideally it should be full). One thing you could ask the seller is he happy with you to get an independent vehicle check. Companies like the AA and rac offer this service. It is always a good thing to ask because if the seller is reluctant or refuses then I would just walk away as he or the car has something to hide. Cheers steve :)

Wow, it sounds like it gets better! (Not!) hopefully this new issue gets sorted. If it were me I would not be returning there next year! Have you had a survey through from them yet? Normally you get to rate them. Cheers steve

Hi Ash, welcome to the forum :) i do believe the cvt gearbox do have issues in the Audis and I believe they're best avoided.

Hi Paul, welcome to the forum :) you'll find the members on here are a friendly bunch and will advise you where they can :) to be fair I haven't heard of the a6 being affected either. Sorry I can't help anymore. Cheers steve

Nice one! There's a hell of a lot of work done there! Well done :) Would love to have this on our display stand! :D

Welcome to the forum Jan :) youll find the members on here are a friendly bunch and will help you if you need advice :) i have to agree the older Audis had slightly better build quality but obviously that's not to say they are good cars :) the isle of white is a lovely place! Geat in this lovely warm weather :) cheers steve

If it were me I would take it Audi for them to look at it. As I'm assuming at this stage they haven't seen it. I'm also assuming your TT has a long and valid MOT and if so I'd be looking to source a new doorcard before I get anyone to fit the old one. Have you got any pics of your interior? I can try and have a look and see if there are any on eBay. Cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Andrew :) youll find the members on here are a helpful bunch :) however im unsure what the pope is for. Have you asked your local garage or Audi? Sorry I can't help as such cheers steve

I would say keep pestering them! My mum has an issue with her gearbox and the manufacturer was denying there was an issue or that similar issues had been highlighted on other models. Needless to say with all then pestering we were right and the car had to have new synchro son gears 1st, 2nd and reverse as well as having a new clutch. The problems have all been resolved. What audi should be doing is getting their technicians to drive the car daily for them to see the fault. And if the dealer has admitted their is a delay then your best course of action would be to book it in and get a car from them to use in the mean time. Cheers steve

Hi Alan, this seems to be a recurring problem now! I'm assuming you've not seen the recent info in the motoring press about this? Of course At this time VAG are denying that the upgrade causes mpg loss. Cheers steve
