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.

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!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

E series vehicles manufactured between 2008 and 2011 may experience FRM corruption due to low battery conditions or battery disconnection.

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?

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.

seems really suspicious to me Why utilise the key when one possesses the fob, particularly considering that a female may wish to avoid soiling or damaging her nails? I trust you still possess your Evoque, my friend.

Rear-Wheel Drive, Long Range, or Performance?

Many of the earlier models lack a dash level measurement option, featuring only a tank measurement. You might just extract it and then replenish it with new material to obtain your answer.

Verifying the evidence - as a precaution - is the vehicle powered off and in "Park"? It seems that a mechanical component may be either malfunctioning or obstructed, maybe requiring lubrication; nonetheless, I have experienced my 2016 Soul's lid freezing shut. I recommend using a plastic pry tool to ascertain if the latch has engaged and whether debris is only obstructing its closure.

Most individuals tend to write only after encountering an issue, which may create a distorted perception that any vehicle is fraught with difficulties. Your new motor seems excellent. Delight in it. 👍🏻

had considered upgrading my 2011 E91 320d to an F31 335d before to the pandemic, but the prices escalated significantly, leading me to abandon the idea. I will not proceed with it and have requested BW Chiptune to incorporate several ponies instead. In light of this year's MOT cautions regarding the front and rear shocks exhibiting "light misting of oil" (the front shock was leaking!) - After 154,000 miles, I have changed all four shocks (Sachs), top mounts, front control arms, drop links, and track rods. The roughness I had become accustomed to over speed humps has dissipated, resulting in a significantly more soft ride. I have invested nearly £1000, but I believe it is a prudent expenditure. The plan involves regular oil changes and preventative maintenance, ensuring it lasts until my retirement in five years, after which I will consider investing a big sum in an alternative option. The only alternative that appeals to me, aside from a newer 3 Series six-cylinder touring model, is a Mk7.5 Golf GTI.

I had the same remark transitioning from the Niro EV 4, which has heated seat controls in the central console, to the EV3. I was unable to locate the option in the options, so I began following suggestion to use the Hey Kia voice control.

Utilising Fuchs ATF oil will result in cost savings. A source such as www.opieoils.co.uk is commendable.

Provocateur!

Exquisite automobile. My buddy formerly had one but now has a 2022 Audi A5, and he eagerly anticipates returning to a 4 Series! Exchanging vehicles prior to incurring significant expenses ultimately results in substantial financial loss. Unless you want to downgrade, I cannot see any standard repair exceeding the expenditure on a fresh vehicle and its ensuing depreciation. If you want a change or a newer model, I completely understand; nevertheless, if the choice is financially motivated, it is often more prudent to retain your current vehicle, particularly if it has a commendable service history. The optimal counsel for lifespan is to replace the oil more regularly than BMW's advised schedule, since their service timetable prioritises sales enhancement above vehicle health by promoting 'reduced maintenance costs.' Consider replacing some 'lifetime' oils, such as those in the gearbox and differential. Alternatively, continue your current approach by driving the vehicle to a garage staffed by knowledgeable professionals. Ensure they do a thorough examination and remain vigilant about concerns; do not see your MOT as a health inspection, as it really constitutes a basic safety assessment.
