No probs at all please keep us posted on how you get on

My W12 swapped B7 A4 Avant. Running D3 A8 W12 and B7 A4 TDI 6spd 0A3

Thought I'd do a thread of engine swapped Audi's.

If there are aftermarket ones then your best bet would be to look at websites such as darkside developments, Revo etc.

No probs at all. I'd definitely look at the items I've described. Ideally a more advanced scanner might show so e more codes. When you cleared the code could you drive normally? Or did it come back?

Are you replacing a genuine one with an aftermarket one?

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 This could be an issue with the clutch pack (similar to a manual car) but you could also look to see when the gearbox oil was last changed and get that done as it can make gears smoother. Obviously you can't also rule out issues with driveshafts.

Hi Mark, on a lot of the diesels the aftermarket induction kits don't offer any benefit other than increased heat soak. Just got an upgraded panel filter from k&n or pipercross etc

The could be caused by a faulty injector, high pressure fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator or purge valve. Is the car misfiring? Have you cleared the fault and tried to start it?

Keep us posted on how you get on. What makes you think it's now the thermostat?

Have you looked at eBay or AliExpress for the mudflaps? Regarding the bulbs make sure they're the type that won't throw up a bulb out message.

You could always get a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Sounds like an interesting start to your Audi Germany. Hopefully you'll love your q8 when it arrives 🙂

Hope non of you experience this kind of Christmas tree

That is an odd one. I'd definitely suspect battery. I'm assuming it's just one sensor?

Most likely the battery in one of the sensors is failing. Alternatively you could get a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

Where have you tried so far? You could try eBay including international sellers, autodoc or AliExpress or Audi.

They are expensive and kown to fail/stretch. You have to ask the question why did the 3rd ow we trade it in? Dont bother with taking out a warranty though as most aren't worth the paper they're written on. Check YouTube for buyers guides. Spec will be good. But if you want sat nav make sure it has it as it's an expensive upgrade.

In that case I'd definitely say changing the oil is pointless as you've done it recently. You should be fine to drive it for it's diagnosis but take it easy.

Looks lovely 🙂

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. When was the gearbox oil last changed? Worse case scenario you're looking at a module or megatronic unit.

Glad you got sorted and the links I sent were useful 🙂

It'll be on the floor under the carpet. Check to see if your carpets a damp, if you're getting condensation on the inside. Check spare wheel well for water too.
