If it’s the usual issue which is the bushes in the front upper rear arm split then you can buy the later type bushes from Audi, unbolt the arm at the bush and swing it around so you can access and use a bush puller to remove it and press the new one in. You can do just the ones that have split...

I’m surprised Volvo doesn’t do the measurement using the oil level sender, draining and weighing oil is the messy way of doing something that can be done with a diagnostic tool.

We’re all of those parts worn out?

So the MG is costing £9400 for two years usage? Seems a lot to pay

Would be nice to see some evidence of this claim.

You would think that the chancellor would increase defence spending though. If parliament wants the jets kept then they should find out what the cost is to upgrade, maintain and deploy the jets over the next 5 plus years and give the RAF the funding to do so. The UK armed forces are and have...

Elsa pro, the VAG workshop system does, about 4-5 times a year at least, have issues that stop us recording service events onto it. If it is missing from VMS then ask them to send a manual update request so that all the services it has had are shown. Rather than the oil change history I would...

No way that’s safe to drive with two snapped studs next to each other like that. Wheels effectively only being held on one side so the remaining nuts would work loose. I would also never advise a customer to drive with missing wheel nuts or bolts. They should be paying for that tow.

I had a clutch masters twin disc setup in my e46 330i and never had any issues with it. I do think you need to know what you are buying as they use different friction materials across product ranges, some of which are not daily driver appropriate.

How long can you extend the warranty out to on the VW? I know in Europe you can make the FACTORY warranty 5 years when you buy a new VW or Audi. Might be worth looking at for the piece of mind for your daughter? What engine does a SE R line Tiguan have? 2.0 TFSI?

What labour rate does this company pay? Do they pay for ALL the parts needed or just the failed part? Do they pay for any fluids needed? Do you choose your repairer or do you have to use one of theirs? Does the car you are looking at have a full documented service history to OEM specifications?

I’m always happy to help.

Yes you definitely have to be organised and get the order in well in advance of any work.

I don’t use Euro car parts, I order from AUTODOC using the app.

If you go with the Mobil extend the service interval to 10,000 miles, also I personally like Mann filters I’ve never had any issues with them. They are a good OE manufacturer.

Audi is very much a case of keep it dealer serviced with an Audi warranty. I bet if this car had full Audi service history then the brand quite possibly would have paid for at least the parts/ engine. I see it every day where Audi pays for out of warranty repairs for vehicles with full service...

If the wrx struts fit, fit the wrx springs as well so they are matched, but you would need to do all four corners, increasing the cost of repair a fair bit. Is this one of your personal vehicles or one you’re going to sell?

When you go to pick it up make sure you are happy with the panel gaps and quality of the paint work.

You need the special tools for holding the crankshaft chain sprocket at the very least, it’s a kind of mesh design that only sits one way and the tool holds it in place.

Do you have any of the special tools?
