240 for {a new|a brand new} battery on my 2010 Audi A5 2.0t. Last oem battery was {replaced|changed} {four|4} years {ago|in the past}. Being frugal, I went to Costco and the {book|e book|e-book|ebook|guide} listed {four|4} {options|choices}, {but|however} {only|solely} the H6 was in Stock. The H6 {came|got here} in at {120|a hundred and twenty|one hundred twenty} {before|earlier than} tax. I {installed|put in} it and reprogrammed the battery {energy|power|vitality} {management|administration} system {using|utilizing} my vag com. Car {started|began} {fine|advantageous|effective|fantastic|high quality|high-quality|nice|positive|superb|tremendous|wonderful} after {but|however} I'm {worried|anxious|apprehensive|fearful|frightened|nervous} as this battery is {significantly|considerably} smaller than the oem battery. {Is this|Is that this} battery {fine|advantageous|effective|fantastic|high quality|high-quality|nice|positive|superb|tremendous|wonderful} for my {car|automobile|automotive}? I run {stock|inventory} {everything|all the pieces|all the things|every little thing|every part|every thing|the whole lot} {but|however} do have a hardwired {dash|sprint} cam. {I wonder|I ponder|I'm wondering} if this what killed my battery over the {past|previous} {four|4} years {since the|because the|for the reason that} {last|final} battery change? Second {question|query}, {since the|because the|for the reason that} battery is {in the|within the} trunk {under|below|beneath|underneath} the spare, I'm {worried|anxious|apprehensive|fearful|frightened|nervous} it {needs to be|must be} vented. There was a venting tube {in the|within the} battery compartment {but the|however the} {old|outdated|previous} battery wasn't {connected|linked|related} to it, and the Costco battery {doesn't|does not|would not} have a port {to connect|to attach} the venting tube to. {Is this|Is that this} {something|one thing} I {should|ought to} {worry|fear} about? Thanks {in advance|prematurely|upfront} {for your|in your|on your|to your} {help|assist}! {If you|For those who|If you happen to|In case you|In the event you|Should you|When you} cheaped out and {bought|purchased} smaller battery with {less|much less} CCA, then your {car|automobile|automotive} will run {fine|advantageous|effective|fantastic|high quality|high-quality|nice|positive|superb|tremendous|wonderful}. {It will|It can|It is going to|It should|It would|It'll|It's going to} {just|simply} have {less|much less} {capacity|capability} {and less|and fewer} {starting|beginning} {power|energy} when {it's|it is} {cold|chilly} {in the|within the} winter. I {replaced|changed} my German battery with {a bigger|a much bigger|an even bigger} aftermarket battery for piece of {mind|thoughts}. Your dashcam {should be|must be|needs to be|ought to be} wired to {power|energy} switched off with the ignition. If it {always|all the time|at all times} has {power|energy} that {will definitely|will certainly} drain your battery. Your {car|automobile|automotive} {may|could|might} {originally|initially} have had a vented battery, and {in the|within the} {previous|earlier} {replacement|alternative|substitute} was {replaced|changed} with an unvented AGM battery, or {maybe|perhaps|possibly} {they just|they only|they simply} forgot {to connect|to attach} it. Though I've {read|learn} from battery {experts|consultants|specialists} {that all|that each one|that every one} batteries {should be|must be|needs to be|ought to be} vented, and any {that don't have|that do not have} vent tubes {should|ought to} {only|solely} be mounted the engine bay {and not|and never} in an enclosed compartment.
My {car|automobile|automotive} is a 2008 plate Audi A4 cabriolet, 1.8T, poverty spec. 1. Roof {light|gentle|mild} flashed 7 x (approx) {when you|if you|once you|whenever you|while you} {turn|flip} {the key|the important thing} {in the|within the} ignition. 2. Roof {sometimes|generally|typically} {got|acquired|bought|obtained|received} {stuck|caught} when opening / closing (approx 3/{4|four} {way|approach|manner|means|method} down, or 3/{4|four} {way|approach|manner|means|method} closed). When reset {using|utilizing} the {massive|huge|large} key {thing|factor} {the problem|the issue} went away for {maybe|perhaps|possibly} {a week|every week|per week} or so. It was {generally|typically|usually} an annoying {but|however} intermittent {problem|downside|drawback} which took the {fun|enjoyable} away from having a cab, as I {didn't|did not} know {whether|whether or not} the roof was going to work or not! 1. Read this thread (very {helpful|useful} {indeed|certainly}). 2. Removed the motor, checked it, cleaned it, put some {light|gentle|mild} oil on it - {everything|all the pieces|all the things|every little thing|every part|every thing|the whole lot} appeared to be {ok|okay}, the brushes {were|had been|have been} {moving|shifting|transferring} {well|effectively|nicely|properly}. {It's a|It is a} {really easy|very easy} job {once|as soon as} {you've|you have|you've got} {got|acquired|bought|obtained|received} over the {fear|concern|worry} of {potentially|doubtlessly|probably} trashing your boot trim. If {you take|you are taking|you're taking} your time {it's|it is} {fine|advantageous|effective|fantastic|high quality|high-quality|nice|positive|superb|tremendous|wonderful}. 3. Put the motor {back|again}, {but it|but it surely|however it|nevertheless it} {still|nonetheless} had the intermittent fault. 4. Removed the motor and {sent|despatched} to Mervyn at "autoelectron" {via|by way of|through} an ebay {purchase|buy}. He inspected it, phoned me up, {told|advised|informed|instructed} me it was {fine|advantageous|effective|fantastic|high quality|high-quality|nice|positive|superb|tremendous|wonderful} and gave me some pointers.
Great {guy|man}, and he {only|solely} charged me 25 odd quid for the inspection and sending it {back|again}. I strongly {recommend|advocate|suggest} {using|utilizing} Mervyn's service {prior to|previous to} doing {anything else|anything|the rest}, as {it will|it can|it is going to|it should|it would|it'll|it's going to} give {a good|a great|a superb|a very good|an excellent} indication of {where|the place} {the problem|the issue} is and save {a lot of|a number of|a variety of|a whole lot of|loads of|lots of|numerous|plenty of|quite a lot of} time, uncertainty and {money|cash}. 5. Removed the {position|place} sensor {next|subsequent} to the driver's {side|aspect|facet} passenger head - {it's a|it is a} one minute job, a monkey with a screwdriver {could|may|might} do it. 6. Sprayed the {position|place} sensor liberally with WD40 {and then|after which} put it {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} {it's|it is} full {range|vary} of {movement|motion} about 50 {times|instances|occasions}. This {seemed|appeared} to make it run {more|extra} {smoothly|easily}. 7. Replaced the {position|place} sensor. 8. Opened and shut the roof 10 {times|instances|occasions} to see if it had {fixed|fastened|mounted} it - deep joy {as it|because it} had {worked|labored}, no {problems|issues} {at all|in any respect}. 9. Took the {car|automobile|automotive} to {a local|a neighborhood|an area} {garage|storage} with VAGCOM to interrogate and clear the ECU - the error for the G356 {position|place} sensor was {showing|displaying|exhibiting}. 10. No {problems|issues} since {in the|within the} {last|final} {four|4} months of frequent use. 1. {I would|I might|I'd} have taken it for a VAGCOM interrogation {straight away|immediately|right away} {rather|fairly|moderately|quite|reasonably|relatively|slightly|somewhat} than {removing|eradicating} the motor. The roof is now working {fine|advantageous|effective|fantastic|high quality|high-quality|nice|positive|superb|tremendous|wonderful}, and it {cost|price|value} me ?0 to {sort|kind|type} it out. {You don't|You do not} {need|want} many {tools|instruments} or to be technically minded to do it, so {I would|I might|I'd} strongly {recommend|advocate|suggest} the DIY route to {anyone|anybody} {rather|fairly|moderately|quite|reasonably|relatively|slightly|somewhat} than going to a {garage|storage} as {you will|you'll} save a fortune. From the garages I spoke to {whilst|while} {working out|figuring out|understanding} a {repair|restore} route most of them {seemed to be|appeared to be|gave the impression to be} {either|both} clueless or very {expensive|costly}. {I can't|I am unable to|I can not} fault Mervyn's {assistance|help} {at all|in any respect} - I strongly {recommend|advocate|suggest} him to {anyone|anybody} who thinks that {they may|they could|they might} have {a problem|an issue} with their roof motor, {or just|or simply} {to help|to assist} with the fault {finding|discovering}.
The recession has been a bleak time {for many|for a lot of} industries and after doing a survey of the used {cars|automobiles|vehicles} {for sale|on the market} {in the|within the} UK {we have|now we have|we have now|we now have|we've|we've got} {discovered|found} that the second hand {car|automobile|automotive} market {did not|didn't} {suffer|endure|undergo} to badly. There {seems|appears} to have been a {decrease|lower} in {the volume|the amount|the quantity} of {cars|automobiles|vehicles} {sold|bought|offered} {each year|annually|every year} {however|nevertheless|nonetheless} not {a large|a big} {enough|sufficient} {decrease|lower} that traders {large|giant|massive} or small have gone out of {business|enterprise}, {the same|the identical} {cannot be|can't be} {said|mentioned|stated} for {car|automobile|automotive} manufacturers. The governments {car|automobile|automotive} scrap-age scheme did {try|attempt|strive} {to keep|to maintain} {car|automobile|automotive} manufacturers head above water {but|however} for some {times|instances|occasions} have been very {tough|powerful|robust} with a {struggle|battle|wrestle} {ahead|forward} {likely|doubtless|possible|probably|seemingly} for the likes of Saab. Second hand {car|automobile|automotive} garages have {noticed|observed|seen} a stability of {sales|gross sales} {during the|in the course of the|through the|throughout the} recession with some even doing {better|higher} than they {were|had been|have been} {just|simply} {before|earlier than} the recession bit. Tony Parker, who owns a {garage|storage} {in the|within the} North West states, ' {I have|I've} {noticed|observed|seen} a drop in footfall {recently|just lately|lately|not too long ago} {but|however} that was {only|solely} {due to|as a consequence of|as a result of|attributable to|because of|on account of|resulting from} {the big|the large|the massive} freeze!
The 2019 Audi A6 {is probably|might be} {a week|every week|per week} away from being {officially|formally} unveiled, as its premiere {is expected|is anticipated|is predicted} to {take place|happen} {at the|on the} Geneva Motor Show. However, a set of alleged leaked {images|photographs|photos|pictures} {allows|permits} us to see its {evolved|advanced|developed} styling for {the first|the primary} time, {but|however} since we {cannot|can not|can't} {confirm|affirm|verify} their authenticity, we抣l take them with a grain of salt for the time being. At {a first|a primary} {glance|look}, {the new|the brand new} {generation|era|technology} Audi A6 {appears|seems} to {come with|include} a {front|entrance} {end|finish} very {similar to|just like|much like} {those|these} of {the latest|the most recent|the newest} A7, A8, and smaller A4. It has a generous grille with horizontal bars, flanked by {the new|the brand new} headlights with {incorporated|included|integrated} LED DRLs. The rear {end|finish} follows {a similar|an analogous|an identical|the same} {pattern|sample} as {well|effectively|nicely|properly}, with {different|completely different|totally different} taillights joined {together|collectively} {in the|within the} {middle|center} by a chrome strip, and {dual|twin} trapezoidal exhaust {tips|ideas|suggestions} {incorporated|included|integrated} {into a|right into a} discreet diffuser. Audi抯 慠ussian doll?design philosophy continues inside, {where|the place} {the two|the 2} {displays|shows} dominate the dashboard, as seen in a set of spy {shots|photographs|pictures}, {last|final} week. {The rest of|The remainder of} the {interior|inside} {looks|appears|appears to be like|seems|seems to be} very {similar to|just like|much like} {the new|the brand new} A7, which is {basically|mainly|principally} a sleeker-{looking|trying|wanting} {version|model} of the A6. Different sensors, scanners, and cameras are {expected|anticipated} to equip the 2019 Audi A6, {to give|to offer|to present|to provide} it Level {3|three} autonomous driving, {just like|identical to|similar to} {in the|within the} A7, whereas {power|energy} {should|ought to} come from {different|completely different|totally different} {four|4}- {and six|and 6}-cylinder engines. Customers {will have|can have|could have|may have} {to choose|to decide on} between {the new|the brand new} 48-volt petrol and diesel {units|items|models} at first, with plug-in hybrid powertrains {to join|to affix|to hitch} the lineup {in the future|sooner or later}, {along with|together with} the potent S6 and RS6 {versions|variations}. The latter will {likely|doubtless|possible|probably|seemingly} be {limited|restricted} to the Avant.
