  1. When you check under the engine, you'll see the lambda symbol protruding from the top of the DPF and a temperature sensor.
  2. Quick update for everyone. The Audi arrived yesterday evening. The transporter driver rang ahead and gave me regular updates throughout the day. I've spent a couple of hours going over the vehicle and so far everything appears exactly as described in the advert. It's booked into my local specialist tomorrow morning for a full inspection just for peace of mind, but first impressions are very positive. Really appreciate all the feedback from everyone here. Reading through your experiences definitely helped while I was waiting for delivery.
  3. Thanks everyone reading these replies has definitely helped calm my nerves a bit. What caught my attention was the payment arrangement, and I asked loads of questions because I was worried about transferring a large amount but they explained that payments go into a separate safeguarded company account rather than directly being released immediately which made me feel a bit more comfortable. They've told me delivery should be somewhere between seven and ten days, so fingers crossed. Cheers!
  4. Hi everyone, Looking for a bit of reassurance if I'm honest. A few days ago I agreed to buy a 2020 Audi Q5 S Line through Zolee Logistics after seeing it advertised online. They explained that the vehicle had originally been repossessed by a lender after the previous owner fell behind on finance repayments and that it had been acquired through a UK banking auction. The price seemed noticeably lower than similar examples I've been seeing elsewhere, which naturally made me a bit cautious. I've already transferred the funds, but according to them the payment is being held in a segregated company account until I receive the vehicle and complete the inspection period. They've also told me I have 14 days to inspect the vehicle and request a refund if it isn't as described. To be honest, I've never purchased a vehicle remotely before, so I'm feeling slightly nervous now that the money has left my account. Has anyone here actually bought from Zolee Logistics? Any experiences, good or bad?
  5. I am a middle-aged Northern Irish person on the wrong side of fifty. I am in search of guidance regarding the purchase of my next vehicle.
  6. After trying to fix the tyre with muck, make sure to inform the garage. They never seem to approve of workers getting covered in the stuff.
  7. I don't understand why the immobiliser would activate, but it sounds like gasoline starvation. Perhaps other error codes could be revealed by a more comprehensive scanner. I experienced a VP-44 failure myself; I parked the car, returned to it 30 minutes later, and it still wouldn't start.
  8. It will not pass the mot if the warning notice is visible, therefore take it to the dealer for a full diagnosis. I understand that you would rather not spend money on the automobile, but each time you purchase a component and it doesn't function, it's money wasted! If you're fortunate, your neighbourhood repair shop may offer a diagnostic kit that can identify the solution for a little less money, or you may just spend an hour of effort and get the answer.
  9. The bolt diameters of the e and f series wheels are different; I have never used either size before; perhaps this is an issue, but I am not sure. despite the fact that I once attempted to attach an e-series bolt to an f-series, and the bolt ended up in the wheel's alloy bolt hole; perhaps I was exaggerating the situation.
  10. E series vehicles manufactured between 2008 and 2011 may experience FRM corruption due to low battery conditions or battery disconnection.
  11. The gearbox rotates the propeller, which drives the differential, which turns the axles, which in turn rotate the wheels. Larger wheels may increase unsprung weight; yet, in the overall context of a one-ton van... What impact will they have?
  12. An automatic gearbox will remain unaffected; nevertheless, your speedometer will be inaccurate if the aspect ratio is not consistently maintained. Excessive alterations may lead to premature deterioration of your suspension and steering components.
