  4. Good point, on second thought sorry.
  5. Keep us posted on how you get on 🙂
  6. I thought it'd be a switch
  7. You've done a great amount of diagnostics, I'd definitely consider a wiring fault next
  8. You're welcome. They're not allowed to due to EU regulations. The next wave of these regulations will be that these cannot be turned off at all.
  9. Check service history for proof of gearbox oil services etc and make sure all electrical items work. Check YouTube videos for buyers guides
  10. The fan doing this could be part of the dpf regen. I'd recommend you get a second opinion

  12. Have you had the heater matrix checked? Is the car engine temperature staying consistently at 90 degrees?
  13. Hello David they cannot be switched off as they're part of the cars safety systems. If it were possible doing so would invalidate your insurance
  14. It's electrics that are the biggest problem and parts availability. Make sure all electrical items work on any car you look at and air con, as compressors can be expensive to change. Make sure service history is good and there's proof of cambelt and water pump changes and if an auto make sure there's proof of gearbox oil changes.

  15. Keep us posted on how you get on
  16. The Q5 will have similar servicing intervals.
  17. They control windows too. You need a replacement ccm with the exact same part number. Might be worth to see if yours can be dried out.
  18. I'd definitely consider a maf sensor.
  19. It'll need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up
  20. Very nice 👍 🙂
