Re: Car Hire Lottery
Merc EQA supplied by Audi to cover us until they have fixed Mrs mik’s etron. That’ll do nicely. Have only taken it up the road and back, but initial thoughts (which will make me look like an ungrateful moany git) : whilst the interior is far from unpleasant, the big vents in the centre are a bit chi...

Re: Your fleet running reports
It will probably be a mechanical seal, we have them on all our water pumps, oil pumps etc and they work great. Dave is (of course) correct. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.audiworld.com-vbulletin/1754x1648/front_axle_reservoir_e8feee0fe54ad516eecb620eb6a83c82835b4861_a9aa4706438feb190597bc24e49abf...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Is the coolant under any sort of maintenance schedule or is it a ‘sealed for life’ system where by life they make it hard for anyone but a main dealer to change and the real life cycle is more like 6 years? There is a resevoir with drain plug in each motor to deal with seepage. Just found this stat...

Re: Your fleet running reports
I can't answer with any authority, but I'd guess fundamentally no different. Although I suspect they would be subject to higher temperatures? No idea about pressures.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 9:58 am But are those seals substantially different to those on the shaft of a water pump on an IC engine ?

Re: Dangerous beers...
I like some of the strong(er) Belgian beers like Duvel and La Chouffe, but I don't enjoy drinking many of them. Lagers slip down easier for me (current draught favourites Estrella & Birra Minabrea). I tend not to enjoy crafty / microbrewery type concoctions. Generally too strongly flavoured for ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
integrale_evo Yeah, I've been looking into it in a little more detail, and I'm still scratching the surface as opposed to diving deep, but I understand that in order to maximise (particularly continuous) performance manufacturers are deploying motor cooling circuits that go around the stator (sound...

Re: And then there was none..
Colleague/mate hired a T350 for his 25th. It was very good value, but the mandatory insurance excess of £3.5k (circa 20yrs ago) proved a great deterrent to push it too hard.

Re: And then there was none..
It gets better if you read the small print. One off charge of £3k plus VAT. Also the nicer cars have a little pesky asterisk: "* 1.25 miles charged per mile, minimum 50 miles per day. ** 1.5 miles charged per mile, minimum 50 miles per day. *** 2 miles charged per mile, minimum 50 miles per da...

Update on our E-Tron just added to the fleet running thread (page 1006 for future reference). Didn't want to post the same thing here also.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Took mrs mik’s E-Tron for a “larger car task” at the weekend. 25 miles from home on an A-Road the car suddenly sang out some loud warning chimes whilst flashing up “Electrical System Fault – Safely stop vehicle!” followed immediately by a 4WD system fault message, and then a warning related to the d...
