Local climate change due to high RS6 and lead boots concentration.
Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
///M3 E46 | XC90 (V8, natch) | Passat GTE | RR Classic V8 flapper

Hope you have some good news Barry from unit 20.
Scary moments over here.
Tornado hit us. Caravans turned over
House Roofs badly damaged. Fences demolished.
Thankfully we were ok and no damage to our property but some households not so lucky.

And before you ask. Yes this is the UK I am talking about. On the east coast.
Steve,
You certainly seem to be having a bad run of luck. Glad you dodged the bullet this time.
Good luck.
Ric

Christine is at it again.
Self healing syndrome
My oil leak seems to have cured itself.
I don’t know what’s worse
Having a slight oil leak
Or no leak but you don’t know where the original leak was.
Will see how long it lasts.
Hate a problem that fixes itself with no intervention.

Those are the best kind of problems to have, cost you nothing :thumb:

I've got an annoying EML. Stays on for weeks then behaves itself for a while. Woohoo, it's fixed itself...few days later and it's back on again.

Have you noticed if it’s weather related.
Which eml is it.
I had a constant beep from the rear parking sensors when selecting reverse.
Then following rain they would work ok.
Had all the sensors replaced recently so it’s not a problem now. But it was weird how they would work in wet weather.

It's either a boost leak (unlikely as had new hoses) or a pesky vac leak somewhere. Difficult to track down.

Warning lights on. Really annoying. Hope you get it sorted mate. I wouldn’t know where to start. So for me the car would be booked in to its “second home”at Neston.
