Hello, desperate new member here, a couple of months back whilst driving I would notice my car 2015tt tdi ultra , hiccup , just a very slight jump, could be anytime at any speed, over a little time this issue was getting worse, could be 4-5 times in a row, I took the car to a garage who checked which codes came up, of which was fuel rail, speed sensor, camshaft, (sorry I don’t have the codes to hand), the garage wiped the codes and I drove off waiting for them to reappear. The issue at this point is now getting worse, the engine warning light came on, hillstart, ttps, esp etc. i returned to the garage and they tried a new camshaft and crankshaft sensors, these had come up on the codes, again, this didn’t sort the issue. i took the car to an Audi specialist and after much of the same they have changed a in tank fuel pressure in the tank under the rear seats, checked all the wiring in the engine for any wire issues, still the problem persists. The cat is getting gradually worse, and as said above I don’t have the specific codes but he did say it’s co stay my bringing up spied sensor and low pressure. He’s apparently done maf readings which came up normal. does anyone have any ideas please what thos could be, I’ve paid out a small fortune recently and not seeming to get anywhere. thank you

Thanks. We're scheduling the appointment today. We had the diagnostic software updated but they didn't check anything else out on that appointment.

I can't help on that score, except to say you need to find a way to test the output of the LT pulse generator (the Jetronic unit) before worrying about the coil.

Springs simply do not break when motionless, so it must be air suspension which is known to have problems with leaking bags, compressor failure and height sensor faults. If the car is undriveable it will have to picked up and taken away for repair.

So what did they tell you? As I mentioned before, don't make a decision on the cars future until you have a firm diagnosis of the fault. We can only go so far in doing that in a forum, it really needs somebody with access to the car in order to touch and feel and smell and test. If it comes to the crunch and the engine is "beyond economic repair", to use insurers phrasing, would you consider Magnet's suggestion of throwing lots of cheap oil at it as a way of keeping it running? You'd have to tolerate an oily driveway and ignore the environmental consequences, and of course even the cheapest oil is not really cheap.

Newbie here .. Hi.... I live in UK and own an Audi S5 Sportback 3.0TFSI (2017). Car is no longer under warranty and want to move away from 0w20. I can get engine oil from Shell via my company fuel card.... from Shell ...they sell these two: Which of these is right for my car ? I drive my car : - Mostly on motorways - Don't drive too spirited (only occasionally, never track day etc ) I'm not concerned about fuel economy or frequency or engine oil changes. Want to ensure I give the engine the best protection. Which of these do you recommend? Shell garages near me usually stock 5W-40 in 5-litre containers, while 5W-30 is harder to find. I'd prefer using 5W-40 since it's more convenient to buy, but if 5W-30 is significantly better for the engine, I'm happy to travel further to get it when it's time for an oil change. Thanks in advance for any replies. Hoping to buy on Sunday so hopefully someone can advise before then.

Reason I ask is the gearbox specialist i went to said s5 funny enough uses the same gearbox as a A5

Hi all, just wondering if its possible to update my mmi an maps on a 2019 Q5 Black Edition. Any help greatfully received. Thanks Andy

Yes this is copy from the app Product details The services of Audi connect Remote & Control connect the vehicle with the smartphone. With the myAudi App, the vehicle can be accessed remotely, the last parking position and the current vehicle status can be viewed. This includes the current mileage, the next inspection and information on whether doors and windows are locked. If necessary, the vehicle can be locked and unlocked remotely. Certain optional extras can also benefit from the online connection. For example, a push notification can be sent to the smartphone when the anti-theft alarm system is triggered or the parking heater can be started via app. The package includes the following services: - Car Finder - vehicle status - Remote Lock&Unlock - remote auxiliary heating - theft alarm notification

SKF is a quality part. Stick with your mechanic, if you trust them, then that counts for a lot. I’m sure you’ll get to the bottom of it.

Stunning. I do love an A8 d3 👍

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 looks a lovely car.

Hi all, I bought this lovely S8 knowing it had an abs pump issue. I purchased a 2nd hand abs pump which had the exact like for like part numbers however, I can't get the thing to code successfully. The old faulty unit can't be read either to copy the codes. Does anyone know how to code the replaced unit to the car? Im happy to pay whatever the price is and I can travel too. Thanks

I'm only on my second Audi but it does seem that water ingress, electrical issues, and a combination of the two are a constant problem whatever the age of the car. It's like owning a 1970's Alfasud but without the rust. Shame as I really love styling and the way they get down the road.

The old trick for cleaning the inside of a fuel tank was to throw in a handful of nut (the ones that go on bolts, not the KP variety!) and then shake your moneymaker like your life depended on it, obviously removing anything like fuel sender etc first.

Well done.

who knows why the machine says wiltshire clifford.also the dates wrong,as i had it checked today lol

Thanks! In fact I've spent 2.500 Euros so far to get a promising 2.5Tdi for another 200.000Km without any more issues than the regular oil change. Every year I've spent like 4k Euros on my old car, a Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0 Ingenium. So... 2.5K Euros for some "peace" is quite good for me! 😁 Cheers

How do I check that?

i bought an audi a 4 b8 with bills and with one bill it said clutch high.it showed no signs of slipping then 3.5 years later it suddenly started to go then went completely while on a busy by pass.all changed including fly wheel £1500 garage in north yorkshire

This is sorted now I pulled relay 208 pulled the injectors bridged the relay and lifted the flap on the metering head. Eventually got a good delivery of fuel from each injector. But no spark back to it.

Thx for your quick response I will have a look

Tim. If you look through the forum history you will see that changing from tungsten to LED is far from straightforward, and sometimes impossible. If your lights are dim it would be simpler to just renew the bolbs. Incandescant lights do become dim over time.

Is there a link for the stickers please
