Price Paul? Regards, Gareth.

Hi. Did we not offer any kind of insurance premium or were we just un-competitive? Regards, Dan.

SD card will only work if sat nav is enabled on the MMI. If it's not enabled then its roughly a £500 job at the main dealer.

Hi to you all would any of you guys have a link to or a sequence for Coding a Tow Bar to 2019 Avant using VCDS Thanks in advance Jim

New owner of Audi S1 year 2017, no working sat nav. Local service garage advised of sd card off amazon or ebay but don't seem to find one. Any suggestions please

Glad to hear you got it sorted Flatspell. To be fair, unless the garage specialise in Audi's, they may not know about this specific issue. They'll just replace the part that's likely to be the issue after a diagnosis scan.

If it is secondhand parts you want go to a car breaker. Why the clause about upgrading?

Hi I have a brand new still in unopened box rs3 style front bumper to fit a3 8y all models apart from the rs3. £450 I bought this for a project car myself and my son are building (his 1st car). It’s a a3 8y s line 1L with light front end damage. We are building it as a Rs3 replica and have decided to use original rs3 parts.

Read a similar error, that was eventually traced to a vacuum leak off the EGR cooler. I think at the very least you are going to need VCDS and then measuring blocks which basically gives you live data. The fault code is one thing, but you need to understand why, and live data should help pinpoint. This was on 2010 model. https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/378244/

Go to a professional body shop. Had a similar issue with an old 2012 A4 Allroad. It’s classed as Platinum Grey 1RR, however will no doubt vary across models. When I spoke to Audi main dealer, it didn't even show up as a code. Phoned a few body shops and ones that are Audi and Porsche approved and they said it can’t be blended. Entire panel would need to be painted. As it’s matt/satin effect, it’s notoriously difficult to achieve consistent effect with rattle cans. Hope that helps.

ErWin, pay to view. You can download and print off pages you need. Given only 2018, then you’re going to need VCDS, plus if you buy additional parts, bear in mind they need to be new, otherwise you get into security component protection which only ODIS dealer level software can clear.

Hi, so same happened to me… A7 50tdi 2019, all codes matched the document from previous posts, Audi UK pays for everything. Dealership said that the issue is known for about half a year and I should get back my car on Monday. Buckinghamshire

Andy - Apple CarPlay is the app that enables your iPhone to work with the mmi. It's more than as Bluetooth connection it displays apps on the mmi screen and let's you use your iPhone apps on the mmi screen. If you plug in through your USB it should ask if you want to use carplay. I suspect that you also have wireless carplay capability - either way it makes your iPhone much more integrated with your car and you shouldn't need a USB stick.

Any comments on the above responses Mandy? I know you have seen them.

Worth trying Ali-express (China). I had a set from them for a non-Audi and was pleased with them. Regards, Gareth.

You could try contacting these guys - https://www.hazzydayz.com/ - they do a lot of VAG work with various hardware and software options. You probably have mmi navigation plus and I don't think that there are many hardware options but you can get map updates from people like the one I mentioned above or just google "mmi navigation plus updates". With a 2019 build you might have google maps as standard. I generally use android auto and waze for navigation - it's much better than the built in option.

Not necessarily so. As I mentioned in an A6 C5 topic I only recently discovered the previous owner of my car had removed the EGR valve, however I had no problems with emissions when I put the car through its MOT in September. I realise this may not be the case for everyone but that's my personal experience if it's any help.

The stink may be unrelated to the DPF. For example paint or oil or underseal spilt onto the exhaust will slowly be burning off. There may even be a dead animal decomposing.

Probably, but there would be no point if the battery is damaged, so get it tested first.

It drives fine, the engine light disappeared and has not been on atm but I don’t want it to get proper bad.

Has anybody tried or using a pedal tune on a A7 55tfsi? I've seen that they remove the lag from the accelerator, just wondering if I should take the plunge and get one. Maybe APR or Burger Motorsport, but there seems to be lots more to choose from. I would be good if anyone could recommend one if they are using it.

Hey, did you ever find out what the issue was? i have the exact same issue currently. installed a new pioneer head unit. couldnt get it to work. re installed the old one and got the issue. Iv gone so far as to install a new TCM, after finding power at the TCM and no blown fuses. If you found a solution id really appreciate some help Cheers

Hello all, I have the same issue since a while now. Initially it was an single time issue then it became an intermittent issue. Then I figured out while pressing the brake before even touching the start button, it bypass the error. However, I decided to solve the issue and ran a diagnostic where the main error was P0C2900 - Auxiliary transmission fluid pump driver circuit , Performance After this, we ordered a new coolant with the following reference (0CK325583J upgraded version, 2019 -) initial version is H but vendor recommended J). https://www.oemvwshop.com/0ck325583h-engine-p546436/ So upon installing this with a new oil and gasket kit, and upgrading the software from v0002 to v0008 the error is back, yet different. This time the error show when turning on the car (one click and engine off) but goes away once the turning the engine and error disappears. Any ideas? Is there a error memory or an adaptation procedure? Thanks
