Re: Non Audi problem... Any electricians / headlight experts that can help?

Hi Sid Basically the modern Mercedes headlamps are not worth the plastic and LED’s they are made of. We have replaced a few headlamps and modules on all different types of mercs for various faults. We have a CLA coming in soon to have the drivers headlamp replaced due to the LED not working. the cu...

Re: Non Audi problem... Any electricians / headlight experts that can help?

I did think that but its definitely on high beam as opposed to lhd/rhd setting. The part numbers match and the car allows you change the lights depending on which side traffic (i can see it adjusting when changing the setting). To eliminate a bulb issue, I tried it in the old unit and it worked fine...

Non Audi problem... Any electricians / headlight experts that can help?

Sorry this is so longwinded... Been a member here for quite some time and this issue is a general electric/headlight one so hopefully anyone who understands headlights/electrics might be able to shed a bit of 'light' lol. I'll do a brief timeline of what's happened as its pretty ridiculous! 1. Bough...

Re: Gearbox recon..

Yeah, 100%. Not paid much attention to the coupe but the saloons have risen since I had mine. Mine had high miles (around 130k i think) but it was backed up with full BMW dealer history. I sold mine for around 13k in around 2019 iirc. Prices have crept up since then.

Re: Gearbox recon..

Had an E90 M3 myself. Was quite possibly the best all rounder I had. Not the fastest but in terms of a full package, performance, practicality, looks, reliability, cost etc it may just be the best car I've had. It literally did everything brilliantly and wasn't ridiculous money at the time.

Re: Gearbox recon..

Thanks mate. I think he's going to pass on the car. Doesn't make sense taking a risk with £6k being the cost of a potential repair.

Re: Gearbox recon..

Seller said he changed the 'range sensor' and cost him around £300. Assuming thats the F125?

Only place I spoke to who said they can do a full recon was QST but it's around £6,000!

Re: Gearbox recon..

I think it changed gears ok when driven normally. It was when it was being driven hard that it thudded.

What codes would I expect to see on the Vagcom if it was the F125 sensor?

Re: Gearbox recon..

Hi Ben, All good here, thanks :thumbs: Hope all is well with you. Just sold the C6 RS6 :( Gutted but a 3rd child meant it wasn't going to work for us. Replaced it with a 7 seater GL63, so not all doom and gloom. Re the C5 - the 'PNRDS' all light up on startup and then goes normal shortly after. It's...

Gearbox recon..

Hello everyone, I owned a C5 RS6 around 10 years ago! Looking for some current/up to date info. My younger brother is looking to buy a C5 RS6 and suspects the gearbox is showing signs of giving up. He may be able to get it for a good price. Who's best to go to these days for the gearbox and what can...
