What progress Ian?

Try a variation of that technique: press and hold the up/down switch until the glass has stopped moving but continue to hold the switch for another ten seconds.

Cheers Gareth, I think I agree…

Hi, I have recently brought an Audi q7 2013, turns out the rear diff needs replacing already , can anyone tell me how the rear driveshafts connect to the diff please ? Mine is not the type with the bolts, that's all I can seem to find info online about, is it connected by a circlip or something,? thanks

I really am beginning to think this is a wind up or do you not know anything or have learned nothing from your previous ownership of any car, buy an electric bike its safer.

Hey Bob That's a good point about the software being slow to boot up. Not thought of that as the occasional yellow flash ups that I have experienced barely last milliseconds before they disappear. Thankyou for that.

Thanks Paul, Now even more confused with who initiated the alert! Would suggest you take this up with another dealer. Regards, Gareth.

Welcome Jay, Judging by your written comments, I too would concur with your views on your chosen mechanic. Just to add, I don’t open links from unknown sources, so my comments are based solely on your written word. Could you do us a kindness Jay and amend your profile and be more specific re. your location within England. Regards, Gareth.

Who are you addressing this to Ian?

Does anyone know how I can confirm that my vehicle has PR code 9G8 please?

Thanks for you advice. I will be giving it a try.

So part arrived quicker then the dealer planned, car has been dropped back and now have new issues that were not there before the car went wrong. New issues: Car is not recognised on the Octopus Go app and will not charge on the Hypervolt, did not have this issue before, have deleted the car from Octopus and re-setup the car and it still says no car plugged in. My profile has gone, could not add me so had to delete my profile from the car, app and and online and re-do, car now sees my profile. App is reporting incorrect battery levels of the car, this was also doing this before the delete and re-install but still does not show the right battery level, the app is talking to the car as I can open and close does, sound horn etc from the app but the battery level is wrong. Drivers side door central locking not always opening. I also tried plugging the car into a RolecEV charger in a car park and that reports no car connected. Anyone got any thoughts as it looks like the car is going back to the dealer?

Hi, Thank you for your response. I saw this thread whilst researching before I posted my own. I’m not convinced I have an alternator problem. In my case it is the engine which suddenly died whilst under way. There were no abnormal indications at all on the dash and there’s no evidence of any event in the diagnostics record. In my opinion that indicates that the engine behaved correctly in response to its inputs (so nothing to report) but possibly one of those inputs was erroneous. The dealer is unable, or unwilling, to troubleshoot the matter.

Hi Steve, How are you? I’m looking to get up to Nottingham sometime time next week (don’t know exactly when yet, that’s down to when I can get into Notts kayak club, could be the weekend ), to buy a racing kayak, so could bring the wheels up then if you’re still interested in them?

There’s an aftermarket upgrade to the MMI & maps you can get. Not sure if it dies anything with the DAB radio but you could ask: Satnavmapupdates.co.uk MMIupdates.com I used the 1st one to update my maps but don’t know if it did anything to the radio.

Thanks for the help

Hi can anyone help with this. I'm looking to code out the 'brake pad' wear limit reached message on dash. I managed to eliminate the orange brake light symbol when the message appears along with the audible by changing the long coding on VCDS but does anyone know where i can delete the message aswell on VCDS? New pads & discs fitted and also new genuine brake wear sensors but there seems to be that there might be a fault somewhere so im looking to de code it completley. See picture below of message and red warning light

Thanks I will have a look at the coilovers and make a decision, I believe the brand is mts techniq and just a coilover replacement for the original drc setup. I'm looking at swapping them for a set of bilsteins at some point. As for the arms and suspension bushes everything is either new oem or poly bushed. Apart from the strut tops which need replacing. Many thanks Pete

I know you have seen the above two questions Kian, so I can only assume you are unwilling to help other members of the forum by replying. One warning coming up.

Its the pressing of the lock or unlock on the key fob.

Coil packs do fail. Odd the cats gone at the same time.

A common problem with Audis of that era is damage to the wires within the rubber bellows between door and frame. It is worth checking all doors and the boot lid.
