That takes me back 50 years. I must have been mad, but I got away with it.

Thanks - it’s had a new battery 6 months ago but it wasn’t coded. That said it must recognise it’s a new battery as the start/stop is now working

To be honest at this stage I don't think it's a crack , it's showing no sign of oil coming through it , and like I said there is absolutely no sign of oil anywhere i park . Also surly if it was leaking out oil there would be traces of it the whole way along the bottom side of the car , of which there's none . And also the car is driving extremely well surly a crack gearbox would show alot of symptoms. Thanks

So I think that pin 1 is sending 5v from the ecu to the maf in error. Does anyone agree? Pic attached shows pin 2 as ground. Pin 3 routes to B277 positive connection 1 in wiring harness. Pin 2 should be for maf to to send voltage to pin 22 in ecu, not send 5v to maf sensor. So what feeds pin 22? Anyone understand where in the ecu it can produce the 5v? Or where else in the system 5v could be fed into the ecu which is then going to the maf? It'd be good to know what other wiring I can investigate that could be causing this.

I was initially tempted to point to the universal joint in the steering column, but the sound does not match what I would expect to hear from such a joint. I suggest removing the plastic shrouds around the upper part of the column to see if there is anything out of place there.

Afternoon all, looking for help. Had the airbag light on dash, looked for solution on forum’s, done everything suggested, lastly to disconnect battery. Which I have now done. On reconnection. Air bag light, ldw , traction control, tyre pressure warning etc, etc. Now can’t do anything via MMI or is it a trip to Audi. Car 21 plate saloon. Thanks in advance.

It’s asking me to press the clutch to start and when I do it goes off 🙂 don’t know if that helps

Thank you very much.

Fantastic work, hope you can get it back this week and enjoy it 🙂

As Dave has said it's often a loose wire under the passenger seat.

Welcome Kenny, but please give us some more information for members to go with. Could you please describe the problem you are having? Regards, Gareth.

Hi. If you have any issues with insurance at all for an imported vehicle then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan.

This is brilliant work

Hello Frank, Well worth searching EBay. Please let us know how you get on. Regards, Gareth.

I’m still learning “to drive” this forum and don’t know how to search it yet lol

Smiles your not wrong it already looks so much better happy days

Thanks Brian, Autodoc has had mention in relation to the supply of incorrect parts. I’ve never been affected by this, because I don’t buy from them, preferring not to pay highish postage charges compared with other suppliers. Regards, Gareth.

Absolutely Martin - it’s your car, and you are free to do with it what you will, and my feeling is that any advice given ( when asked for) which doesn’t concur with your views, will be ignored. I certainly won’t be chasing you again for a thread-closing update, since I feel the tread will remain as ‘unsolved’ anyway.

Glad you got it sorted out.

Its with an auto electrician atm so I'll let him know to double check that Thanks buddy ill let you know if it works or what the issue was otherwise Best Saad

Does anybody know the paint code for the Matt Metallic Grey Lower Skirt on the 2016 8V. I can't find a reference to this on any of the documentation. I assume this is a standard colour across all body colours? My body colour is Monsoon Grey.

Good luck Tom, hope it's nothing too expensive/serious, let us know how you get on mate.

Agreed, and no apology needed Gareth.

Hello! I have a manual 6 speed Audi A4 B8 2.0 TDI Quattro from 2012, its the facelifted version. I have enabled with VCDS the drive-select function on the MMI (MMI 3G) , but only Comfort and Individual modes are selectable. I have watched a video about this, it seems like the guy in the video enables an adaptation in 09 with a security key, which is 20113 , my VCDS software also tells me that the security key to unlock adaptation features in that module is 20113 , but if I type it in and press the "Do it!" button it gives me an error code , "Security key not authorised! , Error: Unknown (00) (0x00)" or something like this , and I can't enable multiple modes. (I know that it won't do anything I just want the interface of the driveselect in my car to look like and feel like an audi that has it.) Thank you in advance for the help! Kind regards, David.

Please do, as this question crops up from time to time.
