Re: Interim Service

Pollen filter should be added to that list as I believe that's a service item on every service.

As the car is new to you, it might be a good idea to start with a completely clean slate and do all the transmission oils as well.

Re: Nav disc update

He doesn't have iDrive in an e53.

Re: New member

I didn't realise that sun tan cream was so virulent...........and that people were so careless with it.

You could probably get it mopped for around £150. If you're anywhere near Kent, a trip to KDS in Gillingham would be a good move.

Re: x5 3.0d smoke on start up

One of my diesels did it, and ran fine, the other diesel didn't do it, and ran fine.

Make of that what you will but don't be overly concerned.

Re: HELP! needed cd player....

That's the single shot CD. Should just pop it in and it starts to play so I guess there's a problem with the mechanism.

You do like it hot in your car don't you!!!!

I've linked to the e53 but you don't say which model you have so may need to change search criteria.

Re: Defecting to the darker side

This one seems to have a fair bit of Audi content.

Be careful you don't fall asleep at the wheel when you get one. I've never found an Audi yet that wasn't a cure for insomnia.
