Audi a7 2011 having issues with my car. Has any 1 come across thease fault codes before. It's also displaying on my dash GEAR BOX MALFUNCTION still safe to drive sends the car into limp mode but only for like 5-10 seconds. This issue doses not happen all the time just 1 or 2 times a week.
HAve you had the box serviced etc?
Hello akash. What box you on about. We have had the gearbox oil service not l9ng ago.
What engine and gearbox combination do you have? Any other issues apart from this message?
There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) relating to this fault code. A dealer should be able to check if your chassis number is affected and / or the repair has been carried out. I think it may be just a software update?
I have a 3.0 diesel 245 bhp quttrao triptronic. No kev just the msg that comes but it doesn't happen all the time.
I've never seen any official guidance, but the estimation by people on several Audi forums is that "life" means 6-7 years or 60k miles, which lever comes first.
For the cost of getting it done (it's a DIY job that's slightly more complicated than changing regular engine oil) - about £170ish for the new filter and oil - it's worth the peace of mind and cheaper than a new transmission!
AK88, surely your box is S-tronic which means gearbox oi changes every 38k miles. It was the biturbo which got the tiptronic/torque convertor gearbox.

text: President Barack Obama's visit to Hiroshima in Japan will be the first ever by a sitting US president, remembering the hundreds of thousands of lives lost and scarred when the United States became the first and (thus far) only power to use nuclear weapons, dropping two in August 1945 to force Japan's surrender, ending World War II. Critics complain that Obama's visit makes the US look weak. Supporters call the visit inspired, a sign of respect for a close ally, recognition of pain and loss, a realization that how and what societies remember, shapes their future. They say facing history is not only a sign of strength, but of moral leadership.

English blues sensations The Wildcards have produced an album of startling originality, entertaining lyrics and amazingly-accomplished tunes. An undeniably-cool blend of jump jive, blues, jazz and rockabilly with great guitar tones and killer beats.
The band have recently been wowing audiences across Europe suppoting the legendary Fabulous Thunderbirds.
Features a deluxe 12-page booklet, over 40 photographs and detailed track information!
Listen to the entertaining lyrics or just let yourself go to their urgently-swinging, amazingly-accomplished and undeniably-cool blend of jazz, jump jive, blues and rockabilly, given a wickedly ‘voodoo’ edge with Louisiana and Caribbean influences bubbling up all over, and you can’t fail to be bowled over by its startling originality. This well-recorded CD (a worthy successor to fine 2004 debut “On Fire”) captures their thrilling many-layered live sound so well that new delights emerge with every playing and you get the feeling it’s never going to be far from your record player.
Their impeccably empathetic playing is enhanced by great arrangements and a unifying concept feel symbolised by the eerie cover drawing of four leering skeletons playing instruments atop an old-style hearse providing fair warning of the dark delights within. At the album’s greasy heart lies a magnificently woozy version of the blues standard ‘St James Infirmary’ with an electrifying half-way lurch into a musical mayhem worthy of Screaming Jay Hawkins or Louis Jordan. Yes, it’s that good.
With a striking air of brooding menace, lots of dark humour and an entertaining musical and lyrical wit way beyond most bands, the Wildcards are surely poised on the edge of real acclaim. Listen to the sophisticated calypso and Latin touches on the Squirrel Nut Zippers’ ‘Hell’, the deliriously carnivalesque version of Louis Jordan’s ‘Run Joe’, the scarifying ‘Hoodoo Preacher’ (composed by harmonica-player Gary Primich, with whom they toured last year), and the suitably staggery rhythms of the band original ‘Drunk’. There isn’t a weak track on the album, their own material easily matching their well-chosen covers, though they may have saved the best till last with the epic Vince Lee original ‘Hard Luck Tale’, featuring eerie keyboards from guest Paul Harris. A class act.

ICG canyoneering backpacks set the standard for comfortable, intelligent, and durable design in the brutal canyon environment. Our Heaps packs ride as smoothly as backpacking packs, but sacrifice unneeded bells and whistles to deliver sleek, technical performance. The packs shed water quickly, rarely get caught up on canyon debris, and are big enough to stow everything we need on long guided days.
With 200+ user days, 700+ immersions, and countless chimney squeezes and grating stems last season, my Heaps Pack survived and served us faithfully. Imlay canyoneering packs are invaluable tools in the canyon, and we love them. Thanks for the great work, Tom.
Here in America, a canyoneering pack must be both effective and sufficiently durable for the rigors of the sport. We have combined - HYBRIDIZED - the best of American-style, sophisticated Cordura nylon packs with durable plasticized PVC-laminate fabric to produce canyoneering packs that do both - work AS PACKS, and resist rapid destruction.
SUSPENSION Every Imlay canyoneering pack has a sophisticated suspension appropriate to the volume of the pack and the anticipated load. Heaps and Kolob packs sport our light-yet-rigid Tube-Light frame. Twin tubular aluminum pack stays provide rigid support at minimal weight. The stays are linked to the pack body via plastic demi-sheets that fit firmly into the back panel of the pack. A triple layer foam pad provides 3/4" of padding between your back and this structure allows the pack to adjust to your individual shape. Shape is designed in to the panels of the pack, but the system is adaptable and fits a wide range of back sizes and shapes.
Substantial bi-laminate shoulder straps and a bull-horn-shaped, wrap-around conical hipbelt are lined with p-plush nylon 3-D mesh to complete our top-of-the-line suspension, suitable for carrying big, heavy loads for those Grand Canyon Mega-Days.
Smaller packs need less, and therefore get less. The Spry and Mystery packs have a flexible plastic sheet with a 1/2" of foam padding, with wing-style hipbelts and re-curve shoulder straps. The Leprechaun has a nice piece of foam, sufficient for its modest size.
CONSTRUCTION A canyoneering pack must be able to drain quickly, and Imlay canyoneering backpacks are designed from the start to expedite expellation of water when you exit a pothole. Each pack is two packs in one - an INNER pack made from heavy-duty nylon mesh, and an EXTERIOR of PVC-Laminate and 1000 denier Cordura nylon fabric. The mesh allows water too move freely to the generous punched-hole drains. Care is taken that no non-draining pockets are created - for instance, the bottom panel of the lid is entirely mesh, so water cannot get trapped in the lid to trickle down your neck as you hike to the next pool.
SHAPES Imlay canyoneering backpacks are carefully shaped to minimize the encumberance to downclimbing and rappelling. The bottom of the pack is tightly shaped to present a compact, smooth shape to the environment, and to hang-up as little as possible on downclimbs and slides. Lack of straps and gadgets on the lower part of the pack minimizes the chance of a strap or flap lodging in a crevice.
FEATURES An inside watertank pocket allows use of a reservoir, if you want. The strong handle allows secure dangling while rappelling. Side compression straps can hold a rope or wetsuit securely. Large pleated back pockets are sized to fit a helmet, so it need not hang on the outside to flop back and forth; with a drain, of course. The capacious lid has a heavy #10 zipper with double-layer 1000 denier Cordura flap, carefully styled for easy access, and easily adjustable back and front.
Make me smile! The Lep is a canyoneering pack just big enough for what you need, and not big enough for what you don't need. When canyons are dominated by climbing and any pack at all is a substantial encumbrance, the Leprechaun really shines. It is smaller than you are, and glides gracefully through the canyons, just like you do. Ideal for canyons where WAY less is WAY more functional.

icg canyoneering backpacks set the standard for comfortable, intelligent, and durable design in the brutal canyon environment. our heaps packs ride as smoothly as backpacking packs, but sacrifice unneeded bells and whistles to deliver sleek, technical performance. the packs shed water quickly, rarely get caught up on canyon debris, and are big enough to stow everything we need on long guided days.

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Slowly but surely, modern technologies are making their way into Uzbek handmade carpet weaving which has a history that spans thousands of years. On the fifth day of the Art Week, specialists from Germany and India taught a master class which focused on the use of computer designing in carpet making. About 200 students, young designers and applied arts professionals came together at Tashkent Institute of Textile and Light Industry, the venue for the master class.
The German and Indian professionals introduced to those gathered two latest software programmes, “eXPIoRUG.net” and “Galaincha-computer graphics, innovation in carpet weaving”.
The presentation, conducted by Abduvakhid Suleimanov of the German Society for Technical Cooperation and Shreeniwas Sharma, one of the creators of Galaincha (India), was composed of five parts.
The first part focused on the purpose of the programme. More specifically, these programmes help to visualise designing ideas on a computer, to save time in creating a pattern or a design of a whole carpet, to select colours and combine them, and to see with the help of photos how the carpet will look in a particular room.
The second part included a video presentation of the programmes. The audience had a chance to learn the structure of using the software. For example, it enables its users to see a work in process three months before it is finished.
In the third part, Sharma delivered a brief training session on the use of the software.
The two professionals used the fourth part to demonstrate ten latest updates in the software since it was launched. For instance, users are now able to calculate the costs of making one carpet and determine the quantity and type of resources needed for the creation of an item.
Lastly, the audience was provided with information about famous people who place orders for carpets, choosing a particular design created with the use of the software.
Ten top fashion designers of Dom Stilya (House of Style) showcased their fascinating collections at the General Défilé in what was the culmination of the Art Week “Style.Uz 2010”.
More than 500 young dancers from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and India performed in the gala concert of the Contemporary Choreography and Sporting Dance International Contest, which was held at UzExpoCentre on the final day of the Art Week.
On 14 October 2010, in the framework of the Art Week Style.Uz, a concert of the Spanish tenor Jose Carreras, one of the world stars of opera, was held at Uzbekistan Palace of International Forums.
The final day of the Art Week started with a master class by a famous Russian painter Alexander Ishenko for art specialists, young artists and art students. Ishenko did a video presentation of his paintings and judged works by young Uzbek artists.
The Festival of National Dress became culmination of the fifth day of Art Week Style.Uz. The festival was held at the Center of National Art on 13 October.
Italian fashion designer Domenico Vacca astonished the audience by demonstrating his Spring/Summer 2011collection which contained traditional Uzbek ikat.

Pelagia Papamichail played for Greece during EuroBasket Women 2009. She averaged per game 37 minutes, scored 9.2 points and collected 8.1 rebounds.
She played her club basketball in Greece from 1999 until the end of last season 2008-2009 with different clubs. Papamichail also played for her country at youth level and joined the senior national team in 2005.
She started this season with Spanish club side Cadi La Seu (A.E. Sedis Basquit) for five games before moving to Croatia to join Gospic Croatia.
With the club's elimination from the EuroLeague Women last week, she became a "free agent".
So for her first season abroad she will have played in three countries. Papamichail is 24 years old and 1m.89 tall, a power forward and a perfect replacement for Laima Rickeviciute who is now playing basketball in Italy.
If Papamichail's international clearance paperwork is completed by Friday, she will be able to make her début during the Coupe de France (French Cup) game this weekend.
We met up with Papamichail during EuroBasket and you can listen to the interview which we conducted after Greece had qualified for the quarter-final.

Action 1: Refuse Trump’s unreasonable budget demands!
This is a big week. Republicans in congress are scrambling to avoid a government shutdown on Friday, which also happens to be Trump’s 100th day in office. As of Tuesday, Republicans have conceded funding for Trump’s border wall (enjoy that victory for a second)! However, they are still insisting on an increase in military spending. They are also threatening to drop subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, which could potentially destabilize our health care system. Neither is acceptable. Choose which of these demands you feel most passionate about opposing, and call your representatives to let them know!
Do you have a story about how social programs have helped you? At yesterday’s rally and Q&A, staffers from Murray and Cantwell’s offices asked to hear those stories from us. Personal stories about the Affordable Care Act played a large role in preventing its repeal, and now our stories can help in the fight to keep other essential programs like school lunch programs, college grants, Meals on Wheels, prescription coverage and cheap prescriptions, EPA protections, and any other social program that has helped you or someone you know.
Email is preferred for longer stories so that all the details are readily available.

GSFC was incorporated in 1962 and its plants went into production of fertilizers in 1967. In its very first decade of existence, GSFC became known for its path-breaking achievements, to name a few, it was the first industrial complex in the country set up in joint sector, first company to set up fertilizer plants within a short span of two years of getting requisite approvals, it was the first industrial project to secure direct and active equity participation of farmers, the first fertilizer unit to get assistance from IDBI's Assistance Fund, and the first Company to adopt the Steam Naphtha Reforming process for manufacture of Ammonia.
GSFC has set up the first DAP fertilizer complex in India at Sikka, Jamnagar on the west coast of Gujarat. Its technical edge as well as engineering resources acquired during its very first decade have been catalysts in providing impetus to its expansion and diversification strategies spread over the next four decades.
Originally conceived and started as a Fertilizer company with an objective of providing agricultural boost to the farmers in the State of Gujarat and at the same time making Gujarat self-sufficient in fertilizers. Visualising the market pulse well in time, the Company, as a structured diversification strategy, ventured into the foray of industrial chemicals segment. Having this objective in mind, Company's integrated complex at Vadodara has been so designed and structured that it shall be more or less self sustained by using the by-products generated by its fertilizer group of plants.
GSFC was the first Company in India to establish a Caprolactam plant in the year 1974. This was the apt time when Caprolactam was in great demand mainly for the manufacture of downstream products like nylon yarn, tyre cord etc. As a way forward, it led to expansion into Nylon-6 production. GSFC was also the first to recover Argon gas from purge gas, thus entering into the foray of industrial gases by making Argon gas which is prominently used in welding and this was done way back in the year 1981.
GSFC also has to its credit of setting up India's first Melamine plant. The expansion and diversification of GSFC's product portfolio unfolded new growth vistas to the nation by providing much needed fertilizers for agricultural growth and the chemicals for industrial growth.
It is rightly said that you need to take one step backwards if you want to stride forward and this adage equally applied to GSFC and the phase between 1999-2002 was a phase of one step backwards which in fact facilitated endless strides forward. GSFC never ever then looked back. The period between 1999 to 2001 was a phase where it was veering on the brink of a cash crunch. This phase of GSFC was attributed to many reasons. To name a few are increased energy costs, technical hiccups and delayed commissioning of new Ammonia plant after a gestation period of eight years and resultant increased project cost, excess outflow of interest etc. This new Ammonia plant continued with technical snags which could stabilise only by end of 2003. The liquidity problems further compounded due to expansion of DAP capacity at Sikka (1999-2003) which required infusion of Rs. 180 Crores. The Government of India also recovered subsidy amounting to Rs. 375 Crores. The drought during this period further depressed prices and demand for all products. There was also a shortage of gas that resulted into use of costly LSHS and Naphtha. The margins in Melamine and Caprolactam, GSFC's blue chip products, were low in this period due to depressed industrial demand internationally.
The turnaround story of the Company began from FY 2003-2004. Under able leadership and timely intervention of then Hon. Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi in taking certain bold policy decisions, the company could work on the strategies to enhance its productivity, bring down costs through technical innovations and improved management information systems. The revival measures were fully supported by Govt. of Gujarat and the Company was given complete autonomy to roll back to the track. Finally the major factors that brought company out of red were improvement in the Operational Efficiency, Reducing Cost of Sales, Regenerating Confidence in Suppliers & Customers, Moral boosting of employees, strategizing foray in the global market, consolidating through further Expansions, focusing on ideal product mix to insulate performance from downtrends etc.
Govt. of Gujarat provided the proactive support to GSFC, which brought out a scheme of deferred sales tax of an amount up to Rs. 45 Crores per year for five years, thus improving the Company's cash flow position. Another important breakthrough was the increased availability of natural gas in Gujarat, from GAIL, GSPC and Gujarat Gas, which substituted costly Naphtha and LSHS.
All these measures finally resulted into GSFC becoming a financially strong, profitable and stable Company. Coming out of Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR), GSFC approached the CDR Cell, this time to accelerate the debt repayment. The debt, which was scheduled to be completely paid by 2013, was re-paid in 2006.
As a step towards backward integration as well as a part of global trotting for feed-stocks has participated in a joint venture in Tunisia viz. Tunisian Indian Fertilizers S.A. (TIFFERT), this would ensure the consistent supply 1, 80,000 TPA of additional Phosphoric Acid per annum required for the production of DAP. GSFC has also acquired a strategic stake in M/s Karnalyte Resources Incorporation in Canada. This secures availability of Potash for the Company in long run.
The Company during the period of past half decade has entered the Second Green Revolution phase by developing alternative energy generation facilities and initiating the spread of drip irrigation systems in Gujarat. The Company has provided valuable services to farmers by way of agricultural inputs and marketing support.
Entering the second green revolution, GSFC continued its role of encouraging agricultural growth by developing and supplying Bio-Fertilizers and Bio-technology products to the farmers under one roof. The Company has also advanced Tissue Culture facilities to support horticulture and other crops. In order to provide farmers with high-tech inputs, GSFC has formed 100% subsidiary GSFC Agrotech Limited for research and production of liquid bio-fertilizers, Plant Growth Promoters-Sardar Amin Granules/liquid, Tissue culture and Seeds.
GSFC also promoted Gujarat Green Revolution Company Limited (GGRC) to promote drip-irrigation and sprinkler irrigation systems amongst farmers so as to optimize the usage of water and implementation/monitoring the Government subsidy scheme in co-ordination with GSFC.
GSFC is also contemplating an investment outlay of approx. Rs. 8,000 Crores for setting up an integrated fertilizer and petrochemicals complex at Dahej.
GSFC could achieve consistent profitability record and it has touched its highest profits during the period 2001-02 to 2012-13. Its net profit touched ever highest level of Rs.759 Crores during 2011-12 and the total profit after tax during 2001-02 to 2012-13 was Rs.3594 Crores, as compared to total profit after tax of Rs. 1166 Crores earned during the period 1988-89 to 1999-2000.
Significantly, GSFC, which was under loss in the year 2001-02 and 2002-03 on account of various factors, not only turned around but also earned its highest ever profit. Turn-over per share increased from Rs.255/- to Rs.665/- per share.
During this period, GSFC diversified into new chemicals like MEK-Oxime and other raw materials such as Phosphoric Acid, Potassic Acid, etc. It also diversified and increased significantly its Fertilizers portfolio. Its Fertilizers manufacturing capacity today stands at 1.7 Million Tons. It also added significantly to its wind energy portfolio which stands at over 150 MW. The total projects invested by GSFC during the period of Hon'ble Chief Minister is Rs. 8340 Crores.
This performance of the company is brought out amply by investments made by domestic institutional investors as well as foreign institutional investors which stands at close to 40% of its total paid up capital.
All these steps are in line with GSFC's mission of becoming a world-class, multi-product, eco-friendly global company contributing to the nation as well as for the welfare of society at large.

it is rightly said that you need to take one step backwards if you want to stride forward and this adage equally applied to gsfc and the phase between 1999-2002 was a phase of one step backwards which in fact facilitated endless strides forward. gsfc never ever then looked back. the period between 1999 to 2001 was a phase where it was veering on the brink of a cash crunch. this phase of gsfc was attributed to many reasons. to name a few are increased energy costs, technical hiccups and delayed commissioning of new ammonia plant after a gestation period of eight years and resultant increased project cost, excess outflow of interest etc. this new ammonia plant continued with technical snags which could stabilise only by end of 2003. the liquidity problems further compounded due to expansion of dap capacity at sikka (1999-2003) which required infusion of rs. 180 crores. the government of india also recovered subsidy amounting to rs. 375 crores. the drought during this period further depressed prices and demand for all products. there was also a shortage of gas that resulted into use of costly lshs and naphtha. the margins in melamine and caprolactam, gsfc's blue chip products, were low in this period due to depressed industrial demand internationally.
the turnaround story of the company began from fy 2003-2004. under able leadership and timely intervention of then hon. chief minister shri narendra modi in taking certain bold policy decisions, the company could work on the strategies to enhance its productivity, bring down costs through technical innovations and improved management information systems. the revival measures were fully supported by govt. of gujarat and the company was given complete autonomy to roll back to the track. finally the major factors that brought company out of red were improvement in the operational efficiency, reducing cost of sales, regenerating confidence in suppliers & customers, moral boosting of employees, strategizing foray in the global market, consolidating through further expansions, focusing on ideal product mix to insulate performance from downtrends etc.
govt. of gujarat provided the proactive support to gsfc, which brought out a scheme of deferred sales tax of an amount up to rs. 45 crores per year for five years, thus improving the company's cash flow position. another important breakthrough was the increased availability of natural gas in gujarat, from gail, gspc and gujarat gas, which substituted costly naphtha and lshs.
all these measures finally resulted into gsfc becoming a financially strong, profitable and stable company. coming out of corporate debt restructuring (cdr), gsfc approached the cdr cell, this time to accelerate the debt repayment. the debt, which was scheduled to be completely paid by 2013, was re-paid in 2006.
as a step towards backward integration as well as a part of global trotting for feed-stocks has participated in a joint venture in tunisia viz. tunisian indian fertilizers s.a. (tiffert), this would ensure the consistent supply 1, 80,000 tpa of additional phosphoric acid per annum required for the production of dap. gsfc has also acquired a strategic stake in m/s karnalyte resources incorporation in canada. this secures availability of potash for the company in long run.
the company during the period of past half decade has entered the second green revolution phase by developing alternative energy generation facilities and initiating the spread of drip irrigation systems in gujarat. the company has provided valuable services to farmers by way of agricultural inputs and marketing support.
entering the second green revolution, gsfc continued its role of encouraging agricultural growth by developing and supplying bio-fertilizers and bio-technology products to the farmers under one roof. the company has also advanced tissue culture facilities to support horticulture and other crops. in order to provide farmers with high-tech inputs, gsfc has formed 100% subsidiary gsfc agrotech limited for research and production of liquid bio-fertilizers, plant growth promoters-sardar amin granules/liquid, tissue culture and seeds.
gsfc also promoted gujarat green revolution company limited (ggrc) to promote drip-irrigation and sprinkler irrigation systems amongst farmers so as to optimize the usage of water and implementation/monitoring the government subsidy scheme in co-ordination with gsfc.
gsfc is also contemplating an investment outlay of approx. rs. 8,000 crores for setting up an integrated fertilizer and petrochemicals complex at dahej.
gsfc could achieve consistent profitability record and it has touched its highest profits during the period 2001-02 to 2012-13. its net profit touched ever highest level of rs.759 crores during 2011-12 and the total profit after tax during 2001-02 to 2012-13 was rs.3594 crores, as compared to total profit after tax of rs. 1166 crores earned during the period 1988-89 to 1999-2000.
significantly, gsfc, which was under loss in the year 2001-02 and 2002-03 on account of various factors, not only turned around but also earned its highest ever profit. turn-over per share increased from rs.255/- to rs.665/- per share.
during this period, gsfc diversified into new chemicals like mek-oxime and other raw materials such as phosphoric acid, potassic acid, etc. it also diversified and increased significantly its fertilizers portfolio. its fertilizers manufacturing capacity today stands at 1.7 million tons. it also added significantly to its wind energy portfolio which stands at over 150 mw. the total projects invested by gsfc during the period of hon'ble chief minister is rs. 8340 crores.
this performance of the company is brought out amply by investments made by domestic institutional investors as well as foreign institutional investors which stands at close to 40% of its total paid up capital.
all these steps are in line with gsfc's mission of becoming a world-class, multi-product, eco-friendly global company contributing to the nation as well as for the welfare of society at large.
