Steve Q, thanks for the method buddy. very useful to know. Will update on findings.

I tried but they were unsure which was not much help. They just said read the manual but the manual is not great.

Welcome to the new Q6 section. Feel free to post your queries, advice and tips here 🙂

Borrowed a friends scanner as air-con works now & again… Main issues blower fan despite 12 speeds works @ some speeds sometimes… Reset all codes & air-con works fine but only a matter of time as it all seems very temporary… Any advice appreciated for a permanent fix or parts required… Thanks Adam

I could be wrong. And I'd definitely recommend speaking to Audi to doubly confirm.

Hi, I have a 2022 A3 plug in hybrid. I have been charging with the provided cable to a 3 pin plug in the uk but the cable is now not working. Has anyone else had this issue and what did you do about it? Interested to know whether you leave it out because it only has an IP55 rating. Thanks.

Glad it's still working as it should 2 years on 🙂

Glad you had a positive experience and got sorted 🙂

Thank you for your reply. A lot of good then if the car is stolen and you want to recover images and video. Especially when all the other manufactures cameras have this option and the Audi has a data plan that could easily again be used.

This seems to suggest a boot handle (Item 2) problem. These are electric, not mechanical, and it seems it is not communicating with the lock assembly. Also water can get into the motor and lock it up. You could try getting two people to help. One to mess with the cable and one to lift the boot lid. Then replace the motor if that seems wrecked from water. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up and check the fuses.

I dont think you can. From the info I've got from Audi: When the ignition is switched off, the UTR automatically switches to "Parking mode", in which the vehicle is monitored by radar and G-Sensor. If a person approaches your vehicle or if your vehicle experiences a physical impact, the camera is activated and records the action in a short video. When the Audi Universal Traffic Recorder (UTR) is in Parking mode, it monitors the car's battery and energy requirements and turns off when the limit is reached. This helps to conserve the battery and keep the car operational. The UTR records a 20-second sequence if it detects motion or vibrations in front of the radar sensors. If the recording is triggered by vibrations, it's saved in the "Event" folder on the SD card. If it's triggered by motion, it's saved in the "Parking" folder. The UTR is a recording device with a full HD camera that can be installed in the front or rear of an Audi. The UTR App can be used with the UTR to manage data, live view, adjust the recorder's settings, and use the car finder function.

I've had a look online too and struggled to get answers. Theres always the chance the 2nd hand switch is defective. Think it'd be worth you getting it looked at by an auto electrician.

Thanks Steve, not heard of either, but will do some googling and see what's what, feel free to throw some links my way if it's not too much hassle! As long as a live image shows up when I put the car in reverse, that's all I'm asking really. I love Audis but sometimes the brand really lacks in technology adoption when you put it up against other (even non luxury) brands. Edit: Found them both now and will nab some quotes, thanks for the heads up.

Hi All, Can I ask, is it possible to view your UTR camera setup when your not in the car. I can only view the cameras when in the car with the car switched on. I have the Audi data plan and even when paired to this I still can not view the cameras with the car switched off. Any advise would be appreciated.

I have a 24 model A3 Black edition 1.5 petrol - I have not had this issue at all.

Sorry if this is also off topic. I am now finding my replacement A3 has the same issue as the one I rejected. The engine intermittently cuts out when approaching a standstill at junctions or slow traffic. Before I approach the dealer just wondered if anyone else had this on a 24/25 model year A3 It’s not the stop start as the car is still in gear and moving, clutch depressed. I have to restart by turning off the ignition then restarting

Hi im getting the same problem they done a software update it fixed it for maybe a week but same codes again have showed the garage says the mechatronic needs replacing for over 3.5k what part did you replace for 1.3k? Please advise me thanks

nightmare! Kerp us posted if you ever find a solution🤔

Make sure all electrical items work. Make sure carpets either front or rear aren't damp as water ingress is common and can't damage the ccm. Make sure gearbox changes are smooth.

Have you tried Audi retrofits or autologics? As members have used them for retrofits and been happy with the results

Wife has mentioned her boot wont open as normal. On checking, she is right! However it will work on the remote and on hearing the click you can open as normal. This would lead me to believe we do not have a wiring loom issue with the open and close process. On having MOT done yesterday it was noted the rear number plate light are also out. Would a faulty boot switch cause such an issue? Bit strange both out.. Option are to remove and check for corrosion issues etc... If anyone else has any ideas or views on this please suggest on thread. Will update what VDS says and any progress.. Wife not happy it only works on remote... told to fix. lol

Update, since ATF fluid change. No main filter change just fluid. All working well no issue 2 years on...

Just a quick call in to say updated Ad Blue fix, is working well with no issue. Was worth the visit to Audi Limerick. Many manufacturers are having issue with Ad-Blue, great to see Audi taking a interest in sorting out customers problems. 2 years in nearly at this point...

Now, I know from 18 years past experience in a MK1 TTV6 that the words Audi and economy rarely feature together in any sentence that doesn’t also include many expletives, but…….. I’m currently in a late 2023 Škoda Kodiaq L&K 2l TSI, but am seriously considering swapping into a brand new Q7 50 Tdi MHEV Black Edition. I’ve never owned or run a diesel before so it’d be whole new caper for me. Can you folk please advise and help me out to better understand the following …. 1. Realistically, what sort of MPG can I actually expect to see around town, combined, and on a long motorway run out of this 50 Tdi Mhev? I know the figures Audi quote but I’m no sucker for all that guff. I’m used to driving conservatively to save fuel BTW. 2. Would I need to use premium diesel or isnthere no real benefit over the regular? 3. What sort of oil consumption can I expect? 4. Addblue. I’ve literally zero knowledge or experience of it. How much does the stuff cost, how big is the addblue tank and how long does it last? 5. Never had any sort of electric or Hybrid car. Only ever petrol, so far. What does MHEV do and how does it work in terms of adding economy? all and any responses or other general advice and opinions will be gladly received

I did without removing much at all really on a RHD car from the drivers footwell. Good luck with it.. I think I followed a write up from the net . It wasn't a bad job at all if it was I would have remembered.
