I used my TOPDON to retract the rear calipers. It winds them all the way out. not sure how else it can be done

I spoke to a few specialist and they did say it seems to be a common problem past 80,000 miles.

It’s really easy job but expensive on parts. I would say it’s preventative maintenance. I will be doing mine when AUTODOC have them back in stock.

It’s unbelievable Audi say the oil is lifelong.

I called a specialist to get a price to do this job but they responded with ‘ we don’t have a price to do that job because Audi say the gearbox is lifelong’!!!!!

Personally I would go every 60,000 at most.

I have since replaced the lambda and put a new set of spark plugs in.

Will see how it goes. Car is running very nice.

Hi all, Just thought I would share my results after changing my gearbox oil. The difference between the old and new oil is night and day.

Price has dropped to below £200 on AUTODOC for the ridex HPFP.

I’m tempted but it’s a little bit of an unknown.

I do agree, if you set it to on then it should be on!

Maybe it’s a software change or something then.

I've had P2096.

Only that code with nothing else so i will be putting on a new post cat lambda on that bank. from some research it does seem a common item to fail

I paid £580 supplied and fitted at my house. It has all been modded from the top so once its on the car its impossible to tell without removing the exhuast.

In dynamic mode its mega

Hi all,

Mine seem fine and i have zero issues but i know they have become a common item to replace with age and mileage

Has anyone had any experience with the Autodoc Ridex HPFP or anything Ridex related?

They seem good on price and are the only ones in stock anywhere.

cheers
