When my A6 had noisy bearing I could not work which one it is and there was no play or noise when testing so I just continued to drive it and let fault to develop. I did about 20k miles before play appeared and I finally changed it.

I previously removed myself from the list, but somebody has replied to an earlier message and put me back in again.
I will not be attending, unless something changes between now and then and I make a last minute arrival without a ticket |

Just sorting through some odds and ends and found I have a 5-litre unopened container of G-12 premixed pink coolant. Triple QX brand.
As I have a bottle of concentrate as well for top-ups (hopefully no longer needed now my oil cooler pipe is metal) this is spare. If anyone going to VI wants it for an appropriately discounted quantity of beer vouchers I'll bring it along.
