  Hi, everyone. I've got a 2001 Audi Allroad tdi automatic. I am currently experiencing a problem with my air suspension. It seems that the front suspension is struggling to raise up. Once I press the "go up" button, the rear suspension goes up straight away, but the front one will take very long

  Our car's an automatic. Whilst driving, the symbol is lighting up, and the car starts kangarooing. Sometimes the car will continue, other times it cuts out and can then be difficult to start up. We have changed the EGR twice since we bought the car (four years ago) and we had originally wondered

  Hi I've just bought a 1997 Mk1 2.0 sport automatic, and have been looking everywhere under the bonnet for the auto gearbox dip stick, as described in the owners manual. All that I can find is a small tube with a blank cover over it. Does anybody know how to check the gearbox oil?, as it seems its
• Aftermarket reverse park sensors £29.99 1 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Noticed these advertised in auto express a couple of weeks ago from an online retailer... Anyone have any experience of them? They sound really cheap, and although there's no mention of them automatically coming on when you engage reverse, I'm sure if they were wired up to a reverse lamp they may

• Oil hungry Almera 1 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  SWMBO has a September '04 1.8 Almera automatic. Whilst filling up the washer fluid bottle tonight, I thought I'd check the oil level. It was well below the lower limit on the dipstick. As the car has only done around 6,000 miles since new, I was rather surprised. Of course we'll take
