    Imported A1

    Well I contacted bag for a certificate of conformity for my A6 which is over 20 years old via this email address: [email protected] For the email you need to have the v5 in your name and address. This is the email I sent which I've done for you as a template: To whom it may concern, Please can I obtain a certificate of conformity for my 2014 Audi A1. Vin: Your name Your address Your postcode Kind regards Your name
  3. All those components you've mentioned could fail but if it's been well maintained then that reduces the risk. What major parts has it had changed, do you know? Might be worth asking the original owner or the mechanic if any of those parts have been changed except for the air suspension (I'm assuming hu changed the rear suspension air bags, and not the compressor?).
  4. In theory the letter denotes the version of that part. So in theory a would be the first and so on. This could a So very depending on the model the screen is intended for too potentially. Ideally you'll want the whole code before ordering anything.

  6. Hi ALL I have an Audi 80 Cab (1999) (1.8 ADR) and have a warm start issue. I have systematically gone through all parts on the injection system (MFC, Hall, knock sensors, pump, filter etc) and electrics. Appears to be starved of fuel, the next plan is to inspect/replace injectors. Appreciate any thoughts, I have health stock of bits and happy to share stories, I own her for about 20 years. Thanks John
  7. Not sure changing tyres will make that much difference. I think the car lacks insulation. I did try stuffing the boot well with towels to see if it helped - it didn't. Lack of insulation combined with low profile tyres is the cause I suspect. I had forgotten I was still on this forum. I'll be leavinfg it now. Good luck.
  8. Hi. A6 C7 Ultra 2.0 TDI.2016. Under heavy acceleration the glow plug light comes on and goes into emergency mode. Resets during the ignition cycle. Could anyone help me to sort this problem. P029900 Coolant pump for charge pressure cooler, OPEN CIRCUIT. 0x00646E unknown fault code
  9. I have used the brembo 17z 6 piston ones, they bolt to the hub carrier but I had to use a 16.5mm drill on the old mounts, then a nut and bolt. I also had to change the bolt on bearing and hub as it is a wide track car, so I used standard bolt on audi a6 c5 parts. I used a Mercedes c class 330mm discs, but had to drill the wheel stud holes from 12mm to 14mm, also enlarge the centre hole a tiny bit. The brake hose will be probably for a porsche cayenne. I can imagine it being easier on a standard track c5, with bolt on bearing as that wouldn't need changing.
  10. For legality it's better to have the adblue working so try cliffs way first if possible. As getting it mapped out is technically illegal
  11. Thanks. I have no idea what's causing this drain, it was back at 10% again this morning, regardless of what I thought the other day 🙂 I've got a lot to do, my passenger seat stopped moving, but that's OK as I have to put the original box in both seats since the memory doesn't work when I swapped them. Got new headlights, the MMI screen is a mystery to me as to how it's held in. I think I need an expert to solve that battery first, in England it's not too bad, but Finnish winters are hard on batteries, well, everything really 🙂
  12. This is fantastic advice thanks for this. I'm going to pin the post for other members 🙂
  13. To add I doubt any Audi dealer would fit a performance chip.
  14. The door issue could be an issue with the striker unit. Older audis suffered from this like the A6 C5. The seat movement could be an issue with the switch.
  15. Well cheers mate.....I've been umming and ahing about getting a diagnostic tool for this but have no idea which one to get. Bearing in mind the age of the car and its value I'm wondering if it'll be worth buying one. Which model would you suggest and how much might it be.....I'll sit down before you reply.....🤑
  16. Id definitely say it could be the megatronics unit. You could send this off to be tested.
  17. Could it be an issue with the thermostat?
  18. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up, as it could be an issue with the control module.
  19. I agree with Richard. Wire case scenario the megatronics unit is on the way out.
  20. Spoiler will definitely be bonded on.
  21. It might need a diagnostic check with a more sophisticated diagnostic system, no disrespect to your code reader. Erratic idle as you've rightly suggested could be the maf sensor but also the lambda sensor, cam position sensor, crank sensor, injector or injector seal etc.
  22. Thought I'd share the reset buttons and procedures for different models.
  23. Glad it's working again 🙂 keep us posted on developments.
  24. Looks great! Keep us posted on how you get on with other mods.
  25. You definitely need an auto electrician or Audi independent specialist.
  26. Thanks so much for the update Andy, glad you got sorted 🙂
