  2. Even the Audi part is reputed to be unreliable so it's possible your new one is faulty, in which case it would be unwise to drive the car until it goes to a garage. However I think it is more likely to be a failing battery as Steve Q mentioned because of the stop/start fault. Let's hope the diagnosis shows something.
  3. Hi Magnet. Yes - that's right After the all in one policy I had for two years, following the original two year warranty ran out, I've now taken out a 2 year service plan . Compared the cost of that with a local 4x4 garage , partners used for some time for a 4x4. . Main Audi came in cheaper. Nothing in it and I get to borrow a car for the day. Local garage don't offer that. 44000 mileage to date on my Audi and I now only do 3000 a year.
  4. Hi All, is there a good cheap source for rear Jack inserts as they seem quite pricey direct from Audi?
  5. Hi it looks like my connectors that connect to fuel filter are broke, anyone point me in right direction where I can get new ones?
  6. AlexR - unfortunately it's nothing to do with a recall and never will be safety related, despite cars stopping in live lanes etc. Glad your dealer and Audi played ball. There are lots of people who haven't been that lucky. Audi have been in damage limitation mode.
  7. I noticed something. The ingnito key is sending unregular voltage to the relay. When i feed the relay with full voltage during ignition the engine starts without cranking.
  8. Hello, Time to introduce myself. I’ve been an Audi owner for the last 10 years, a couple of A1s but mostly A3 Sportbacks. I’ve just traded in my 2020 A3 Sportback S-Line Black Edition 35 Tdi manual transmission for an ex-demo 2024 Audi A3 Sportback Black Edition 35 TDI 150 PS S tronic in Daytona grey, pearl effect and including the Technology Pack. First registered 27th November 2024 and I picked it up on 23rd April this year. Picture to follow. John
  9. Today
  10. Thanks Allan, Wondering if 8mm ID fuel hose might do - make sure it's S.A.E J30 R9 ( the R9 higher pressure rating is important ). I understand the well respected Gates now do a braided version, so well worth searching that out. Please let us know how you get on. Regards, Gareth.
  11. Battery is definitely registered correctly and no fault codes yet I still get a beep after a variable time when the clock goes off and doesn't come back on. I don't know if it's an undocumented feature or a fault. Everything else seems to work OK.
  12. A few years ago the car kept telling me the coolant level was low, when it was perfectly OK. I managed to remove the connector on the sensor, cleaned the pins, and all was then OK. Until this week when it started happening again. Trouble is, I cannot remember how to get this connector off. It has a tag on the side that looks maybe like it's a clip preventing the connector pulling off, but no luck. Can someone please tell me what the trick is to pull this connector off?

  15. Hi as my inlet flaps need a rebuild I want to do the PRO BOOST ecu map instead, Before I take my ecu out and post it off to germany to get it mapped I was wondering if anyone out there has one lying around thats already been done and would like to pass it on, Let me know asap please.
  16. You're welcome 🙂
  17. Hi everyone, I do not have a specific budget, but am just starting down this road. I have looked at prices on Autotrader, EBay and on here to get some ideas. I would guess £3k to £5k but let’s see what is out there please.
  18. Hi, my mmi is playing up, did the one you order work as plug and play? Just trying to figure out my options, mark
  19. It's a common fault in many Audi models.
  20. Hi Pipe I think is about 38mm. Have found this on ebay 296994527233 The seller does'nt know what its made from and not interested in finding out (strange man) For £40 one would think metal of some sort as the plastic ones are about a tenner
  21. It is getting increasingly difficult to help you Gerry. Any reason why you can’t post a copy of what you have?
  22. Hi Bob, did you manage to sell your car? If not, can you confirm which engine it is and any known faults/issues. thanks richard
  23. Thanks Doug, I have emailed the letter directly to Audi UK, but as you went through your local dealer and they honoured it I think i'll also send them one for good measure. Thanks
  24. Thanks Cliff, There are a lot of factors to consider. There are pros too. I'll do some more research.
  25. This thread should help:
  26. So, I took the car out for an eight or nine-mile trip today - to get some breakfast... ...which was very pleasant. On the way home, in addition to the DPF light (which had been on from the get-go), I got the flashing glow-plug light, shortly followed by the check engine light. The triumvirate of misery... ☹️ When I got home, I plugged Carly in, and after 20 minutes or so, got the following result: The Smart Mechanic says: ...and goes on to say... So, it doesn't tell me much more than the light on the dash. My DPF is clogged and isn't re-genning as it should. No clue as to why... 🤔 It mentions a control unit - anyone know what/where this is please? Thanks, Mike 😎
  27. Once again I can only hear broken audio so all I can suggest is to take the car back for diagnosis.
