Thanks for the offer Simon but I don't want a car than needs lots of work

cheers Brett

Brett, no problem. I have it booked in for the emission light and am waiting for a quote on the rear bumper. I'll list once it is in 100% condition.

Is the ignition problem to do with the push start by any chance and the car chugging into life ? When they say ignition they mean the engine ignition rather than turning the key and pressing the button type of ignition. OK, thanks. I'll post an update when the Audi centre have taken a look and hope...

Have now booked into Wimbledon Audi service centre. They charge £60 for a diagnostic check as opposed to £186 by West London Audi (Sytner), which seems a bit steep on the basis that this is on top of any cost to resolve the problem. Thanks for all advice received. I'll get the small jobs sorted and ...

When I had mine a few years ago I had the same issue. Dealer I bought the car from Swapped the lambda and eml stayed on.
Turned out they used an aftermarket lambda which could be the case here.

Cheers for the info

Depends how much a couple of grand is worth to you.

If not a lot, then either px it or list it cheap for someone on here

Post some pics of the car

Haven't got any recent pics but will post some when I can get to the car in the light.

Is the ignition problem to do with the push start by any chance and the car chugging into life ? Don't know, only that the diagnostics showed it was ignition related. Should have made a note of the code as Audi will charge me £186 to run the diagnostics. My local garage may re-run for the cost of a...

You have a saleable car but the EPC light will put 99% off. Get it sorted.

Maybe someone with VCDS can help and pull the codes for you.

Thanks, you are probably right. Just wondered if there was likely to be people who could diagnose and resolve, and/or this was a common fault.

Hi guys I am looking for some advice on selling my B7 saloon after owning for the last 6 1/2 years. It is a lovely 07 plate in sprint blue and has only 63k on the clock - FSH etc and certainly well driven and looked after by me. The car is generally tidy inside and out - I have rarely had anyone in ...

Brett I have a B7 which partially meets your needs. I am currently deciding whether to sell privately or part-ex. It is a saloon in Sprint Blue. It is a lovely car but needs a bit of TLC and had 5 previous owners before me. I have owned and cared for over the last 6 years - regularly serviced with n...

Generally all pretty tidy but needs a little work on rear bumper - scratch and dint. Badge on front needs replacing and annoying issue with engine light. Local garage tells me it is not recognising ignition but they can’t fix. I have an aversion to Audi main dealers but may need to bite the bullet.

I have a sprint blue 07 plate B7 saloon with 63k on the clock - very tidy but needs a few tidy up jobs. I’m looking to buy a new/newer RS3 so am thinking of selling. I have owned for 6 1/2 years but 5 prior owners. I am in South West London if you wanted to have a look.
