  2. Did you find a answer for this as I have same issue
  3. Post update. I tested the alternator yesterday. With the engine off the voltage on the battery (new) was 12.5v, then on starting the voltage dips but at 2,000rpm and above the voltage increase to 13.6v. Not as high as I thought it would be but that does suggest it is charging the battery. I checked the belt to see if it was worn or loose, but it seems good, no visible signs of damage or wear, and it was tight. Put the battery on the trickle charger overnight and the warning lights were not there this morning. I guess the next thing would be parasitic drain. I unplugged the only 2 accessories in the car when I parked and turned the car off, the Nextbase dashcam and the quadlock phone charger. Hopefully this will solve the issue. Do you think repeatedly only doing short journeys, and driving in economy mode where rpm is always low contribute to the issue? I’ve had the car from new and this problem only surfaced in December 23.
  4. Hi so I have the owners manual and an online one as well, both don't state the oil as the books are just for a3 class and don't state the oil to use. odd I know but from the link provided they all just use w5 -30 anyway cheers cliffcoggin
  5. Like nothing ever happened. Great job there.
  6. Sorry for the long awaited reply back; had a few personal issues to contend with. I have replaced the battery (before doing the flywheel replacement). So wouldn’t expect that to cause any issues. I’ve managed to resolve a few of the error codes that were coming up; I’ll update with the latest list shortly.
  7. Today
  8. That's true it would show up stone chips less. I guess it depends on what wrap you go for.
  9. Yesterday
  10. Hi Steve I believe this to be the case. I have a 2008 1.6 8v a3 sline and have looked for it countless times ive had the pipe off between the filter and the throttle body and there's nothing there, my car is idling badly and i want to change the throttle body but Autodoc Sent the wrong one and also change the MAF if I can find it. Thanks Steve Dale
  11. Warning light went out driving home , car gave a little hiccup thought I had run over something , only airbag light left on . Warning light back on this morning though ? Date and time wrong I noticed had to reset sat nav to auto ECU ? or still possible alternator ? thought since I was driving at 30 in a straight line unlikely bad connection Can't get on a machine till May as all garages booked solid in Shetland groan
  12. Hi Steve There is a setting to turn off the pre-sense but it restarts once you restart the car. Yes a complete pain in the rear. I did clean the car and this did not make any difference.
  13. if only i could find a pinout diagram i could check wires etc.... seems to be no useful info on these 1.6 tdi engines anywhere online. Wiring seems to look good, i put a new plug on for the egr as the prior ones tab had snapped off, triple checked wiring is in the same place as the oem plug
  14. Hi try LLL carparts they have a catalogue online the only bit you will needs your VIN code that should give you the part number, with regard to aftermarket as long as you don't buy Made in China they are generally spot on as Audi don't make the parts they buy them from Valeo or Febi or whoever sells to them at a preferential price. Steve.
  15. Hi as long as you buy the slightly more expensive error free bulbs its perfectly ok, I don't think your interior bulbs are monitored anyway, could be wrong but if you use error free its not going to be a problem. Steve.
  16. Hi All, As most don't follow up on posts & its been a few months since swapping my front discs, I thought I'd do the right thing & give an honest update. The relatively cheap Audura discs & pads from Europarts, that I fitted, are very performing very well with absolutely no issues, no brake judder & they stop the car exactly as they should. I would recommend this particular brand especially if one is on a budget.
  17. That's the way to do it if you can.
  18. mine bleeped loudly the other day.but thankfully it was showing on the dash as a rear winker not working.you could just go round the car to eliminate anything like that.stephen
  19. Finally working! Audi Connect transferred me to my local dealer. They reset the settings, which they admitted didn't appear to make any difference. Its booked in for a whole firmware update. I think its 1 version behind. Anyway. Today, it starts to actually download the map update, installs it and its the latest for my region. My suspicion is that updating the whole map and the polling looking for an update is a bit wonky, fingers crossed, now it has actually updated that i won't get the error every week that it polls for another region update. So, what is the solution? Firstly, contact Audi Connect - they do try hard. Let them give you a "TPI" and refer you to the local Audi Dealer. No charge to reset/diagnostics, upgrade. and they give you a free car wash. Unfortunately, other than its now working. Its not transparent as to what really was the solution. So all i can post is my journey/experience/steps for anyone with a similar issue.
  20. Where is the badly leaking coolant leaking from Stuart?
  21. It could be an injector even though you'd have thought that would throw up a fault code. Could it be a blocked fuel filter?
  22. Definitely 🙁 I do miss the old girl on the road
  23. I will find out Friday when I take it in, im going to guess they'll have done it by their in house workshop
  24. Thanks Greg, I will do some research and give it a try.
