Hi Natalie I recently bought an Audi Q4 E-tron and is having the same problem. It is very scary. I recently took the car to my local Audi and they found 2 problems from the diagnostic unrelated to what I took it in for. The problem persist, and I am currently very annoyed to be honest. Can you confirm if your problem persist or was it resolved by Audi? Thanks again for the support

Hello Adrian, Just another (general) consideration on mileage. Your car has covered c4K miles/a - a low usage, which comes with its own disadvantages. Most low mileage cars cover that mileage via. short trips, where the car generally barely gets up to optimum opperating conditions, and where wear is at a maximum, compared to a fully warmed up vehicle travelling long distances under motorway conditions. Kind regards, Gareth.

You're welcome. I agree with Gareth there won't be any comeback.

So to start, i have a 2008 S5 with the CAUA 4.2 V8. It has 100k miles and about a month and a 1/2 ago it began getting misfires in cylinders 1 2 and 4, so i went about diagnosing, plugs, coils, etc.. wasn't them so i moved to injectors, pulled off manifold, both fuel rails and replaced the 3 injectors on the problem cylinders, replaced all 8 o rings along with the intake manifold gaskets, and now im still having the same problems. Some back story - Cold starts have gotten noticeably quieter, much slower, sluggish, sounds muffled almost, feels like its running on half the cylinders. If I get the car above 4k rpm a flashing engine light comes on for a few revolutions and then goes back to steady engine light. ive attached my VCDS scan below.

Hi get a swirl flap delete kit, loads on the internet. Steve.

Hi everyone, for those who stumble on this post, maybe this will help. This is possible wheel and tyre sizes for A6 C7 4G: 225/60 R16 225/55 R17 225/45 R18 225/50 R18 245/35 R18 245/45 R18 255/45 R18 245/45 R19 255/40 R19 245/35 R20 255/35 R20 And one thing in addition ... when going on 19 and 20 inch wheels, there must be intake fuel pipe protection aluminum cover mounted and grounded to the chassis. At least that is the case on MOT checks in Germany and Croatia. There is a picture on this site: https://www.motor-talk.de/forum/tankschutzblech-bei-radgroessen-ab-19-zoll-t5922979.html?page=16

Hi in three days anything up to 1 volt would be acceptable furthermore I can't find any logic in the statement that changing the timing belt would have any effect on the Adblue system as they couldn't be further away from each other, same as the earth from the moon, all dealers are the same but Audi taught the rest of the trade when it comes to being inventive when getting work in, the only parasitic drain with that lot will be on your wallet, now you have a new battery see how it goes, your mechanic sounds like a good guy. Steve.

Also my current A4 B8 seats are manual adjustable with only the lumbar support electric adjustable

Hi All I bought a 2011 A7 a month ago and all been well except the last two mornings gone to press stop start its shown up message and cut out Reset then tried again and all fine no driving issues Changed key fob battery as had in the other day just to check for codes fir peace of mind and it said low but nothing else in codes Could it possibly be the stop start not being pushed for long enough trying to eliminate any minors before it gets coolant valve checked ad this seems a usual problem Mant thanks for any input

The photos are for the rear right, ignore the grey arch panel part. Where my hand is on the bottom of the arch is where the clip is broken, I think there is a hook type clip that fits into a square hole on the part that's fixed to the body( black section ) plus another clip is missing from the top of the arch. I'm only guessing but that is what Audi have said. They said it needs a new arch which then needs painting.

PRICE WOULD BE GOOD TO KEV

Thanks Allan. As with all ‘comparison tests’, the question which needs to be asked is -who is funding/sponsoring the test? My comments were really aimed at a better understanding of the much-used, and disliked, broad brush term ‘ditch finder’. I think anyone who fits budget tyres to a vehicle which they drive enthusiastically is indeed taking a higher risk than they would by buying well researched premium grades. However, if your diving style is not-getting-anywhere-in-a-hurry, then I wouldn’t automatically dismiss all budget tyres. My point which might have been helpful to other members who drive as the last paragraph is that, of budget brands, Accelera has given me all round satisfaction for my requirements. Kind regards, Gareth.

Thanks!

No probs at all.

No probs at all. I fully appreciate why you want to. Best way To do it is with a hairdryer/heat gun and fishing wire between the badge and boot once glue heated up.

Sorry. I have one on each side window boot area (avant) and one below the rear number plate

Hi, no, I'm saying I got it FOC from a trusted source.

My 2018 RS5 as started displaying the sports differential fault. It doesn’t display whilst running in comfort mode but the warning appears when in dynamic. I have the car booked in for a diagnostic check next week. As anyone else had this same issue?

I do t think it does cliff as it'd just be a visual check.

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

Hi Is there anyone un the Bristol area that can program Aux in my RNSE please. I believe VAGCOM is required ?

Thats fair enough but connectors, lights are clean dry, no evidence of overheating, corrosion etc. Mystery continues

It's the power speed triangle

When was it last serviced? Plugged airfilter will also cause black smoke and a loud sucking/ whistling

Did some digging, turns out the glowplug error is something to do with the coolant temp sensor, is probably why the car is hesitant and slightly over fueling, also means I can drop the coolant too as that is also way past it's use by date.
