Hello all and thanks for reading my post. We have an audi A3 8p bkd 2005 with an electrical fault that's driving me and my Son crazy. We've read forums and done the following Fault occurred during an MOT test when the Oil level sensor light come on and econ light won't go off so no cool air. We changed oil level sensor and G65 still fault. Chase time: Removed G65 mating connector, removed oil level sensor connector Turned off ac unit No4 fuse still blows, next is remove connector from ac compressor and check fuse. My only other thought is trapped wire harness but where, what do MOT tester look at.. my head is frazzled. We have also checked ac coolant gas level and it's full. Any help would be very welcome. Thank you for reading.

Hi I am pretty sure you can change the headlight configuration of the beam using VCDS I did this last year on a 2011 A4 cabriolet that was going to live in Spain. Steve.

Hi I think you will find that a new motor is just plug in and play, as long as it is the same part the control module will just accept that it now works and not register a code again, the motor is just a slave and as long as it accepts a command pulse it should work fine. Steve.

Hi. If you had any issues with insurance at all for this type of conversion then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan.

On my all road the sensor is on left hand side looking from the front under the black cover next to the brake fluid reservoir --see photo

Done.

So, gearbox oil and filter changed, shifts seem smother. Also do a launch and all ok. I will leave it as is for next couple of weeks and if all ok get it back to stage one with the r600 air intake back in. If no more issues then that will be the topic resolved and if not il update again. Thanks for all the info/advise

Thanks

The previous owners name appeared on my infotainment screen & it says he has remote access rights , how do I remove it , I would really appreciate any help thank you

Hi Steve, thanks but I think they’re not sure about A3s on there.

Engine earth is directly connected with extra wire.

Hello everyone - I'm in the market for a B8 Allroad - there arent many out there to my spec, petrol, auto, preferably with dark interior. I'm not too bothered about external colour. I've got £7.5-8K to spend. My real question is about audio systems - particularly Bluetooth audio. In my 2007 A4 Convertible I bought a module that plugged into a spare port in the glove-box that enabled BT audio, I think it was spoofing the CD Changer? What are the options on a 2009-2011 spec Allroad? (Thats the age that comes up within my budget). All the cars seem to have different options, and hardware in the dash. (Im trading in my W204 C250 CDI, which has a USB powered 3.5mm jack plug BT module, that is the minimum want - I really dont want to have an AUX lead - in fact, my phone no longer has a 3.5mm jack plug! Cheers me dears. J5C

My apologies, I thought it was the rubber bits for your trolley jack you was after.

Instrument cluster failure is well known on the 8p. If you've bought it from a dealer then get it back to them asap.

Please keep us posted on how you get on

My brother and friend have used powerflow exhausts and been happy with the results.

My own dealership actively distanced themselves from Audi and appeared concerned they wouldn't be paid for extended warranty work. As a result all my negotiations went through Audi Executive Office as the dealership stepped back. I had to pay the full cost up front. Some of the cost was reclaimed through a third party warranty before Audi finally took my complaint seriously.

Thanks Spartacus, it was something like that! The tag on the underside of the connector has to be pulled outwards, it simply bends a bit and detaches a tiny latch inside. Awkward little blighter but all done now, contacts sprayed (they looked a bit green) and problem has gone away.

As would be air filter changes.

Audi dealer.

Ideally need it sorting ASAP, definitely can't wait 4 months for a response. The water could get into the wiring loom etc and render the car worthless. Thanks

@Steve Q will do. Asked for a call tomorrow morning stating my worry about ABS. Thankfully I’ve not long to wait for the diagnosis / Tuesday.

Sounds like it's that then.

Glad you've got sorted 🙂 maybe the MMI needs an update?
