Initial problems - DRL gone yellow, Headlight range control fault with one of the headlight Guys ordered a new aftermarket Headlight, headlight range control module, ballast, all fitted. Just found out one of the headlight was not adaptive! there are two types of headlights one without adaptive and one with adaptive! Will be ordering a new adaptive headlight which I believe it costs around £500! I think this this is the reason the car was initially showing headlight range fault in the first place. However after changing the level control module under the steering wheel , the fault has changed from headlight control fault to Adaptive headlight Fault! I could've just left it with the non adaptive headlight with the fault codes on (with DRL fixed) but the main headlight beam is facing downwards on the new headlight and cannot get this facing the road. All this back and forth with the garage and costing me dear. :(

Hi All does anyone have a cross section of the inner door rubber seal (weatherstrip) mine is pretty worn out but looking at prices online for a new one (around £100) I’m looking for alternatives has anyone used anything aftermarket with any success? Many thanks in advance

Allowed a friend to plug in her iphone to charge it from USB-C socket by gearstick… next thing the car starts uploading her data / removes my sat-nav data etc …. after overnight & after a couple of restarts it eventually restores me as key user etc. Suggestions please on how to do a simple charge - should I use the rear seat sockets or will the issue be repeated?

Hi Dan, Just picked up your message, yes I still have the number on retention. Thanks Gareth for your intervention.

Hello Marc, ‘….probably fitting the same type again… ‘ If so, then the risk of the same end result may well remain. Why not dip into your pocket and get one (and the rubber seal) from Audi, and ask your garage to fit that. If you do suffer any issues after that, you can then eliminate the thermostat as the culprit. Regards, Gareth.

Hello Cassandra, Was the light in the tailgate section damaged in the accident?

Looks stunning!

please keep us posted on how you get on

Different coil packs could imply the previous owner has been trying to fix this issue for a while. Make sure the guy deleting any codes saves notes them down first. Please keep us posted on how you get on

Dear All, I just wanted to remove my oil pan on my 2.0 TDI CGL 177ps multitronic Avant because of leaking (damaged draing plug hole). Everything is removed in the area, no bolts are holding the pan but I'm still not able to pull off, don't have enough space. I'm a bit confused at the moment, at the front I've also removed A/C compessor and removed 2-2 bolts from subframe but it is not moving anything...How can I create more space, any idea?

This forum doesn’t have any issue with your user name either, but it does have certain standards in relation to actual names, and my personal view is that by changing it from ‘D’ to ‘&’ is simply an attempt to be clever and to extract the urine - impolite! I’ll refrain from further comments about your posts and wish you, and those you deal with at the dealer, good luck with your purchase. There we are then!

Now has full MOT with only advisories on brake wear

Could this be a fueling issue?

You're welcome. It should be there as my A6 is of a similar age and design. Definitely not!

Airbags

Is it noisy? There's cases of humming or ticking noises from the pump:

These are now sold.

Very nice. Think I've been past it.

Thanks Naresh, I would suggest restricted use and very frequent level checking when you do have to use it. Don’t depend on the ‘low coolant ‘ message popping up to remind you to do that. Regards, Gareth.

Any particular reason why your Sign On has now changed to Guest, Paul?

You're welcome 🙂 Yes. I believe a crank sensor can.
