Thanks guys. That’s what I was thinking. 😩 I wonder has anyone else had this problem with there SQ5? What are people’s thoughts on Poole Audi also?

Martin. You claim the battery is OK but I am sceptical. How have you tested it?

It seems to be a bit hit and miss what can be done. Some golf gti mk8.5 owners have managed to get it to remember the last setting using obd 11 but not all. Not heard of a3/s3 who have managed this. The sfd2 feature in the software seems to be the main problem to making the changes. Sfd 1 is not a problem to making changes on my 2023 a3. Remembering the last setting is no different from turning it off every start so should not affect any claim. Probably worth exploring further.

Great. Many thanks Cliff

Wasted words I am afraid, Richard. Neil has not returned to the forum since his message of 13th July.

Hi could be an auxiliary water pump they use these to circulate the water if the weather is hot after the engine is stopped it prevents cooking the cylinder head, by the looks of the coolant temp it was already hot when you started the car. Steve.

Thanks for letting us know. I'll lock this topic.

Hello Bob, The forum is looking for some feedback from you, on the help you asked for. Thanks. Gareth.

Vibration could be anything, wheel balance, bearing, brakes. Wheel balance is as good a place to start - relatively inexpensive. Bearings usually have constant drone from 40mph up and really bad ones will have a wobble. Brakes, then sticky caliper will force contact with disc. You can usually smell. Drive for 10-15 minutes and coast to a stop. Brakes may be warm, but definitely not hot. If all that checks out, the only other thing is suspension arms. You'll normally feel a clunk over uneven road surfaces. If car has auto lights - it may be ambient light sensor. VCDS might mick this up in a scan.

Hi Nigel. I drive to Ireland several times a year and I always have to go in to the menu to change it over to kms. Hope that helps.

The three-button reset didn't fix it. Looks like I'm doing more investigation. I tried a scan tool which sadly returned no errors... Thanks for your suggestions guys.. If I find anything else, I'll come back with that later.

Hi guys and girls. Hope this is okay. Thought this was a New Zealand site when joining. I crashed my A6 c5 wide-body 2002 Audi. And before I send to wreckers seeing if anyone needs parts. I have owned it for 14 years now and spend bit of money making it stronger. Rebuild trans, abs system, cooling system, made from two cars. Regn on hold.

Hi get it scanned for faults, then come back and we can help.

Thank you for your advice

I can recommend this place, though you may feel it is too far from Esher. It's where I took my 2007 A3 during my ownership. https://msautoservices.com/

hello everyone im new here and i recently got a 2006 audi a3 8p 2.0tdi quattro at first it just had an idle issue so the revs on idle would just go up to 1k and after some time would go back to normal then when i push it past around 135km/h it would ussually put the car in limp mode and after a restart its bakc to normal but when i woke up today went outside started it everything seemes normal i started driving got up to fourth gear accelerated and started to hear a knock but only while accelerating its similair in fifth gear as well have any of you had any similair issues?

Hi CZG engine means it could be a 2.5 engine in which case its chain driven. Steve.

Thank you for your reply, you’re right I need to find a good specialist I have contacted many garages they say they don’t do big jobs and clueless I will try to find someone. Thanks again

Thank you. When I’ve cleaned and got the cobwebs off of him I think I’ll advertise on here. Not sure how to find a price though

First thing i checked was fuses before disconnecting battery, then attempting reset via control switch,as i stated in post i cannot access boot to get to the pump/control module..i need advice on how to access boot.

It may be better to change from Octopus Intelligent Go with its variable cheap times controlled by Octopus, to Octopus Go which has fixed times for cheap electricity and use the car's own controls for charging. You would lose the convenience of the phone app but gain more cheap electrons.

Hi all, I have bought my wife a 2019 Audi TT RHD which she loves. I wanted to transfer the car cam from her old car to the Audi but I cant find the fuse box in the car. The manual says in the RHD model the fusebox is hidden behind a panel in the back of the glovebox but there doesnt seem to be a panel as shown in the manual. Is there a panel that can be removed to get to the fuses or alternatively has anybody installed a car cam with an alternative connection for power and what is the most convenient way to install it please? I dont fancy having a dangling cable into a power socket in the dash. many thanks Frank

Hi everyone, After standing for a couple of weeks the car will not start. It turns over normally, no trouble codes are present so trying to trouble shoot the fueling. Tracked down the fuel pump relay to the left hand plenum electrical box ( relay part no: 8Z0 951 253 ) If I bridge pins 30 and 87 (thick red and green ) the fuel pump runs, pumping around half a litre in a few seconds at the fuel filter. The thin red/blue has 12v on it when the ignition is on, from what I red the ECU should apply a ground for a few seconds to the red/white wire. Checking the relay unplugged with 12v across the 2 thin wires ( pins 85 and 86 ) the relay works, connecting the green and red ( pins 30 & 87 ) . I guess this points to the ECU not suppling the earth when it should .. my question is do u think it is safe to apply an earth to red/white to test this theory? I did try cranking the motor with the fuel pump running ( pins 30 & 87 bridged ) but the motor didn't fire so perhaps there are further problems? Any thoughts or suggestions warmly received... Cheers John
