Hi
Has anyone had audi tell them that if the car has been mapped they can not carry out the airbag recall on the car. As just spoke to audi and was told if the car has been mapped they cannot carry out the work.
Thanks

They didn't even ask. That sounds like crap to me.

Indy having fun with the car at the moment - two of the bolts seem to be seized (not having been moved in 18 years, I suppose). If they break, it'll mean drilling them out, which is a bumper-off job. Fingers crossed the heat/lubrication attempt going on over the weekend will loosen them...

Looks great, glad you enjoy it.

Another happy to sub the forum.

Ah - really sorry it didn't work in your case.

ok dude ive seen you mention this a lot....i have all new clutch parts and still have the same issue....is this really going to resolve it??? i have endless rf650 fluid which is supposedly better specs than anything these days All I can say is I read about the same issue with another car in evo and...

Before you spend big bucks, change the clutch fluid to Dot 5.1 (higher boiling point). I had exactly the same problem, changed several mechanical parts to no avail. Fluid solved it immediately and permanently. Have pointed this out on several occasions here but no-one seems to listen! ok dude ive s...

Hopefully indy will have placed the order by close today, and as they'll now have an account with AT it should make life a bit easier in future!

Audi Tradition have new sumps in stock.

I managed to use a shipping agent in Germany to order some suspension parts from them on my behalf (gets around the UK bank account issue).

Who did you use? I also have a relative in Germany, so if indy can't source it, I might see if they will.

Why specifically the sump out of interest? Any part could go on these cars at any point, so are you keeping a spare for every scenario? I'm just curious. The sumps rarely have issues but a quick google of the part number shows other places other than Audi Tradition are selling it, at a premium. Sli...

I can't order the part from Audi Tradition as I am not a business. My indy doesn't have an EORI number at present, and isn't getting any response from Audi Tradition, and the other local ones I can find haven't been able to help. Did a bit of a Google and found some much cheaper bits in the UK, but ...

So I can buy parts through my Ltd company and they will deliver to me in the UK no problem, but I can't use my personal bank account to buy? Seems odd.

That's about the size of it - though whether your company needs to be in the motor trade I wouldn't like to say.

Here's your answer: 'It is not possible to place an order as a private customer. Audi dealers in the UK are also unable to order from our Audi Tradition online shop. However, you have the option of contacting an independent car repair shop in your area. Independent car repair shop can create a comme...

I've used them a few times and they shipped to my home address without any business number needed. Ireland though.

You're in the EU though. That seemed to be what caused issues - though as I say some recent posts did say they were again shipping to England.
