In my case the sensor was functioning perfectly and would give good readings, it just wasn't positioned correctly in relation to the wheel.

Ideally you need someone who can look and understand the live data readings that a good diagnostics can provide and try to get the fault to occur while doing this to see what changes

Hi guys, recently bought an audi a4 on 110k miles. since buying the car for £2000, i have spent nearly the same in repairs and garage fees. it has not been kind to me. Recently got the car back after having a new timing belt kit, water pump, 2 new camshafts, aux belt - the list goes on. within a week, my EML came on after dropping down a gear and i have loss of power after around 2600 revs, along with a flashing glowplug light. ive been told by a friends "mechanically minded" dad, that the turbo is goosed, but then i have also been told it probably will be the EGR Valve or even a boost pressure sensor! good to mention that there is no smoke on acceleration etc. codes found when plugged in: p0299 05171 confused is not the word. Any help is greatly appreciated as i genuinely think im going to write the car off at this point.

I think you'll need to get this booked into the main dealer as MMI issues are well documented.

Looking on autotrader of 24 models onwards most are not hybrid and all the 204ps ones aren't hybrid.

Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Yep it will do.

Thanks for the detailed report Vytautas.

John. Do you have question or did you join the forum merely to rant?

Upgraded hybrid turbo from turbo technic or similar. Powerflow for the exhaust. They have suppliers nationally.

It really couldn't be simpler or more straightforward if you've got two keys mate.

Thanks Brian - I agree. These parts don’t seem very robust.

Hey, tried this with my Audi A3 2021 Edition 1 and there wasn’t anything really exciting. All I ended up doing was turning lane assist memory on. If you have the obdeleven app you can preview what apps/features it thinks will be available for your car (even if you don’t have one yet) and I found it to be mostly accurate!

Okay, thanks. Roger

It is a bit. But, Audi South East said they can do the checks in a day, which is better. so, it is booked in this Wednesday 2nd July.

Hi Audi A6 C8 50TDI Quat MY2020 bought from new owner here. Pretty sure my MHEV 48V system will be more or less identical to the A8. I had the similar electrical issue in Jan 25 described here, which was originally diagnosed as needing a new Starter Generator. The diagnosis was then amended to needing a new Starter Generator belt tensioner. This fixed the problem. Last week I had Electrical Failure with the yellow and red battery symbol along with the associated messages and sequential shut down of the A/C and MMI. When I tried to start the car, it would hardly turn over. Started it with my NOCO jumpstart which got it going. As the battery was clearly drained - probably as the result of getting no charge - I put the car on charge using the under bonnet red connector and nearby negative lug in accordance with the handbook. The following morning, I drove the car to Audi with as many electrical services switched off. Managed to cover the 15 miles ok but not sure how long it would have lasted for. Having done some research on-line, I found that a failed starter generator replacement is now a free of charge fix. This was great news, as the car is 5 1/2 years old. Picking the car up later this morning. Total time with Audi was 5 days including a weekend. It was a very good outcome, but I am concerned that the new part will be the same as the old part - but hoping it has been modified. Details for the A6 FOC repair are below. Not sure if it applies to the A8, but certainly worth checking. Recall reference R/2020/265 Recall Type Car Recall Date 2020-10-02 Reason for concern MOISTURE MAY ENTER THE BELT DRIVEN STARTER-ALTERNATOR Reason for recall It is possible that moisture may enter the belt-driven starter-alternator. Remedy The starter-alternator must be replaced on the affected vehicles. How to check if the vehicle is recalled Contact the local AUDI dealership or manufacturer. You will not need to pay for anything involving the recall. How the manufacturer will repair The Recalled vehicles will have the fixing checked and corrected as necessary by and official AUDI service. AUDI Reference ID 27H8

Avant!!

Hello, Hopefully someone here has managed to disassemble one of these control heads. I have managed all except for the last step on this 8X0.035.183.F from a 2014 A1. The middle switch is defective but I have found the exact replacement part 62AGY22033. I just cannot remove the circuit boards as shown in the photo. Two screws attaching the board have been removed but it won’t budge. There is an odd looking plastic extrusion just under the board that I suspect may be some sort of release but nothing I have tried works. I’m afraid to apply too much force. The metal chassis surrounding the board is loose from the front plate but is stopped by the CB from coming off. Thanks in advance if anybody knows the answer! Peter

The cleanliness, part numbering and yellow paint suggest the engine has been newly rebuilt. Unfortunately as a private sale the vendor has little obligation to fix the leak unless you can show written evidence that he has deceived you regarding the engine condition.

Had my dealer retrofit the stowable Audi Tow Bar. Works fine and has also added a ‘Tow Bar’ function to the MMI Reversing Camera that shows an orange line and dot where the tow bar is. i gather the software also modifies the Stability Control function to optimise handling with a caravan under tow. It also adds a caption showing if the tow bar is not safely locked. When towing a different set of green indicator lights shows on the instrument panel when indicating. Wish I had ordered this at build as the retrofit was costly. The parts were around £1200 plus a hefty chunk of labour.

Welcome Cliff.
