cheers... on point #1, do you have a TSB or something factual to back this up before I can engage with a stealer?
FYI... I drive 4.2TDI and have been experiencing it recently. I checked with Audi UK and there are no outstanding recalls on the car nor the g/b oil was ever done on it so... something to think about and add to my 'to do' list
