I can't recommend more than enough guys from Audi VW specialist center in Harrow. A bunch of ex audi master technicians who got feed up with audi way of doing things and opened own business.
I'm confident that they are the best audi guys in London and surrounding areas. Best knowledge in all aspects, all the equipment and very very knowledgeable with A8s.
Just go and see Chris and tell him you've been recommended by Marcin from A8 forum, they will look after you. They are very busy tho so don't expect to turn up and see bunch of guys sitting in the garage and doing nothing waiting for the customers  |
cheers Marcin. Definitely one avenue i will explore.
i did another VCDS run today and no of 'faulty' items popped up... don't you love those cars
!!!
i've cleared majority of those which were related to low voltage etc. [not sure why as car starts okay and battery is relatively new, less than 3 years old original Audi stock] but something that caught my attention was the following,

Much appreciated.
ps. how easy or difficult is it to change lambda sensors?
