Hi, Looking for thoughts.. I have a 2018 A5 sportback 2.0Tfsi...I've just returned from a 6hr drive to and from Cornwall the car never missed a beat..just aircon issues hoping its not anything more than a re-gas..after 3hrs of driving the blowing slowed down and the sir became warmer, turned the blower up to full and the airflow was very low, then a musty smell, which I presume is the aircon needing to be re-gassed.. small trips during the week no problems with the airflow or temperature but yhen the return trip home and after 3-4hrs the airflow was low and temperature warmed up..could this be a re-gas?, motor?, compressor? Thanks in advance

Thanks for your response and that makes sense I guess. I have had cars with twin rear fog lights in the past though. Just a bit odd that all the wiring appears present along with the bulb holder? Thanks again. Best regards, David

Have him Jump the electrical connector to see if there is a problem with the pads ir your wireing harness

Who are the actual insurers for your brokerage Dan? Regards, Gareth.

Welcome Graham, A couple of questions/observations:- Any undue vibrations through steering or pedal when braking on right hand curves? Turning right and offside, seems strange - would be easier to explain if it was N/s. Have you tried testing the car in a large area where you can do continuous anti-clockwise circles at full lock for a few minutes, then checking for heat differences on both discs? Regards, Gareth.

Welcome Jeffrey, Sounds good. If it were mine, I would now treat it to a full service so you have a basing point to move forward from. If you need any advice on parts (brands) and where to get them, then please let us know. Regards, Gareth.

Alternator failure related to mild hybrid system?

Hi Alex, absolutely. I was able to approach this problem very well informed as a result of this forum. Thanks to all -
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately they’re inside a casing or sheath so only the top can be accessed

These two models offered in the UK differ by engine torque & horsepower. If I want to “update” a 45 TDI to a 50 TDI, then is it mostly just a Stage 1 remap?

Hello Paul, Work on the principle that if you have checked all alternatives without solution, then you have to suspect the replaced component. In decades gone by, an unthinkable possibility. Regrettably now only too common a possibility. Kind regards, Gareth.

That sounds good logic Garry. Good luck with finding it an appreciative home. Regards, Gareth.

Ya I’m thinking the same, thx for your advice, much appreciated.

That seems to confirm it is the new camshaft causing the problem, though I don't understand how or why.

I've done quite a bit of research to get to the bottom of this and I've seen it mentioned in several places that the build quality of some parts was not as good during the pandemic and improved significantly in 2023. Interestingly the part I removed was manufactured in October 2020 (pandemic) and the new part end of 2023 so there could be some truth to that.

A6 Allroad BiTdi 2014 with 178k miles....am I mad?
Aspen5121 replied to James Parsons's topic in Audi A6 (C7) Forum
Great cars, the key is servicing with the recommended oil. If that’s done you shouldn’t have any major issues like timing chain. My A6 C7 Allroad 245hp is on 185,000 miles with no major issues. I bought it at 165k with full service history including gearbox service. I change the oil at +/- 5000 miles. If it doesn’t have gearbox service record then get it done immediately. -
Wondering if you bought the car? I have the 2014 A6 C7 Allroad 245hp. Currently on 185,000miles. It’s the best car I’ve owned. Service it regularly, including transmission at 60k, using the recommended oil and you shouldn’t have any problems. I’ve had very few issues with mine apart from the usual wear and tear items like wheel bearings, CV joints. Replaced both rear airbags, £150 ea on eBay, no major issues. I bought mine 3yrs ago with full Audi service history and have it serviced every +/- 5000 miles. Passes MOT each year with no issues. I would definitely buy a newer one however it’s hard for me to justify as only use it 6 months per year.

I know nothing about Carista or similar OBD readers, so let's hope someone else can chip in.

i think your right spartacus, im out right now but i’m pretty sure i do remember seeing that audi symbol. that’s definitely a bonus then. to be honest gareth, that was what i first had in mind, sanding some scratches, filling them, sanding again and then painting… but for some reason i tried to paint too much over and it caused the primer to split. and yes, definitely. at least i’ve now realised how challenging a task it is and that it’s not worth all the effort. but your right, i do love to DIY and you get that sense of achievement and another thing to add to the resume😂 - not this time though of course thanks frank.
