Matt, where were you going to get the after market tuning done? If I need a lot of work done on the car I would prefer to take it to an indie rather than pay Audi, even if the guys in Dubai are a little more clued up. Trouble is that many of then have never seen a B5 and seem not to really understan...

AD is not every ones cup of tea but there are a lot of misconceptions about life here. For example my wife gave up her job in the UK and now would probably have to be surgically removed from AD and her busy lifestle of coffee and lunch and shopping and coffee and more shopping and..... You can live ...

Effectively nothing but the fees, I will be shipping a 40ft container so it will be transported with all my other worldly possessions. I am an HR manager for an Engineering and management consultancy firm. Difficult market at the moment but no worse than anywhere else in the world. At least the gove...

Having a decent garage that can pick up on these issues earlier would also help. On two occasions I have asked the dealership about checking and replacing sensors and pressure testing the turbo because of perfromance issues. When we took the engine cover off recently we found that one of the pipes t...

It never rains! You will have to stick with me as I am no mechanic or engineer. My friend has had the car for a while whilst I have been out of the country and probably only a thousand clicks on the car since the new drive shaft. He was hearing some tapping noises form the engine and took it in. No ...

Well things are not always so easy or simple in Abu Dhabi! I had a discussion this morning and last week they replaced inner CV boot, front discs and pads and removed reinstalled an oring (although I could not establish if this was anything to do with the drive shaft or was due to the water leak pro...

Thanks for advice, dealer phoned today to tell me it is a driveshaft. Waiting for it to be shipped from Germany. I wonder if it is anything to do with the the work they were doing on it, as he was very apologetic on the phone and they replaced the brakes and CV joints when it was in, just 10 km's be...

I handed over two thousand quid to the usually inept dealer last night (brakes, water leak, plus a few other issues) and as I hit the motorway this morning I lost all power. Coasted to a stop, the engine appeared to be running and sounded smooth. When I put the car back in gear and tried to pull awa...

I have just swapped my M3 for an RS4. I really like the styling and feel of the car and no on here in the UAE really knows what it is so still really enjoying traffic lights exchanges! Would be good to know if there were any other B5 drivers in this part of the world. The stealer wants to change fro...
