  1. Glad it's all good 👍😊
  2. Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up? When was the gearbox last serviced? If s tronic it can stop engaging gears if the oil is degrading. Does the gear selector light up as normal?
  3. Think flat bottom one is an extra.
  4. The first one when illuminated turns off the tow away alarm sensor. The second when illuminated turns of the interior alarm. Not sure about the 1, 2, 3 though
  5. When was the gearbox oil last changed? Degrading gearbox oil can cause this.
  6. You're welcome. I'd suspect it's that caliper
  7. Steve Q

    No start.

    Have you done a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up? I know when my dad had something similar with his A6 he broke the air sensor.
  8. Yea I'd suspect it is.
  9. Do osram do any I wonder
  10. Glad you got sorted 🙂
  11. Could be the door module, broken wire, Or the bar disconnected from.the handle. Have you taken the door card off to inspect?
  12. I think it's an issue with the screen. You could try disconnecting it and reconnect it but I think you might need to source a second hand unit as the most cost effective option
  13. Glad you got sorted. I'd never have suspected the cluster to be honest
  14. Sticking caliper? Is there any burning smell or excess heat from any of the wheels when you park up.
  15. If it's been running fine with the whine for 4 years without problems then I'd leave it. Only get it looked at if the noise gets worse. If it ain't broke don't fix it as the saying goes.
  16. Sorry to hear of your health issues. I know on my older A6 the ECU, cluster and injection pump all have to talk to one another to get the car to run. So you'll definitely need to get the cluster coded. You'll need an auto electrican to help with this. Safe mode is the car realising that these components aren't talking to one another and the car imobiliser has stopped it working. Also the sports exhaust shouldn't affect the MOT as long as catalytic converter is fitted. Egr might not fail MOT as long as mot tester can see it fitted.
  17. I've never heard of a glow plug delete and not found anything on Google. Glow plugs are designed to warm the fuel system to help start the diesel engine. Without them it won't start.
  18. Is there anything in the spare wheel well such as a battery? I'd definitely recommend you try eBay. You might find one if you look under vw golf as the golf space saver will fit the A3 hub.
  19. I agree with Gareth. Get the battery changed then see if fault codes return
  20. I don't think there is. You could always get a rear facing dash cam DND mount the camera lower?
  21. Not the same shape. My 2 is slightly longer.
  22. This might depend on what engine you've got. When looking for upgraded coil packs you might be better off looking under vw polo or similar as VW seems better support led for mods than Audi. Despite being the same car underneath, you might find them under vw.
  23. Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up? Has the wiring been butcherd when the mod was done I wonder?
  24. I feel your pain, I gave up looking for an aym 2.5 for mine and having a different engine code one fitted instead.
  25. Get the tank drained to be safe.
