power steering

Is there a trick to get the unit open inn the engine bay... trying to check my levels and I cant get the god dam thing open

[Guest 2]

Are you sure you're trying to open the right one?

It has a grey cap and a black bottle just behind the passenger side headlight and has a big indent for a star headed screwdriver.

Yep thats the one Chris ...gave up in the end bloody thing wont move.......

Havnt got time to mess about with this as Im off to take the beast for an MOT.... Yet its bloody annoying that it wont move..... Oh well when I go in 45mins might have a word and see if they can move it...

I've always used a 50p or coin which fits in plastic type lids/caps like that.... as they have the width and never eat the plastic away...

Update

Sorted the dam thing out....someone over tightened it...and happy days MOT passed with flying colours...no advisories.... Bring on the upgrades

[Guest 2]

Yep, bring on the upgrades!

Plans?

[swampey]

Many

Hey Chris

Do you think Audi would be insulted if I complained about the 19" BBM wheels they put on when new... seems the lacker is coming off the wheels or is this something they would just ignore

[Guest 2]

Depends on the year of the car, they've probably been given a refurb which has been done badly.

They're BBS wheels btw and more than likely they would tell you to go home

Didnt think alloys should degrade in this way ...seems the varnish is coming of the outer rim..... dunno if they have been a repaired in the past by the 1st owner...just they look pretty crap at the mo

Know when I bought the car I had to spend getting the whole roof resprayed cos that muppet had let birds crap all over it and couldnt be bothered to clean it off.....Etched marks every where
