Last time I had it checked, camchain timing values were 5.0, 0.0. -4.0, 0.0, indicating a fair bit of stretch. It's on 119,000 miles and when checked was around 112,000. Assuming these should all be 0.0, is engine failure imminent or should I be alright to keep driving it for another year or so befo...

Bought an FM transmitter then realised I can't tune DAB as FM isn't working.

When I go into Sources FM simply isn't there. Could this be a hardware or software issue?

Looking forward to hopefully one day playing my favourite tunes in it after a year of ownership!

After replacing the battery the fuel pump fuse blew. Thankfully my mechanic knew it was that and fixed right away, otherwise I'd have been left stranded!

All the quality brands are much the same. The battery function in the car needs to know there's a new battery so yes, it needs coding - but all that has to be done is to skip on the current code by one digit, there's no validation or anything like that.

Ok cheers Jim

Hi all, My battery dropped from 100% to 10% in only 2 days. I went for a 40 min drive and it got back to 80%, which suggest's it isn't the alternator but needs a new battery. Which is the best to get? I currently have this fitted: https://batterygroup.co.uk/batteries-by-type/lead-acid-batteries/9541...

Ah great, thank you.

Thanks but the 2 links should load different - the first is cheaper, the 2nd is for "TRW Caliper".

Anyone know if these are the correct rear brake pads?

or these?

I have standard 356 mm brakes, not ceramics.

Mallory Performance did a smoke test earlier, no leaks so I guess it must be either blocked cat, wastegates, or broken turbos.

If it wasn't £9k for a strengthened gearbox I might be tempted by TTE1000s.

Not your main issue but - Your leaking in the cam cover could be the solenoids for the variable cam timing, thats an easy fix (relatively, its all relative for the 6) to replace the o-rings if it is

Thanks, added to the very long list.

Damn, it gets so complex, another option is to fit one of those Android screens which goes over the normal screen, but not sure if you still retain the same Audi-designed settings for sport, dynamic etc.

Ah great thanks, yeh it has some gubbins in the glovebox, will give one of those a go then.

Hi all, I've got an Android phone, a Galaxy S10, and I'm just shocked that Audi forgot to install an AUX input. How am I supposed to play music from my phone? I can't figure out BlueTooth and I bought an FM transmitter and can't access FM as it's only giving me DAB. Are there any DAB transmitters ou...

I've got a spare set of rear lights in good condition, feel free to DM to discuss.
