Hi, thanks for your advice, I don’t think it’s the clutch, I’m going to get the solenoid checked out, I’ll post and let you know the results.

Cheers. Thanks for letting us know

I’ve got my Audi a3 (8v) that’s currently stage 1 which I want to go to stage 2. Anyone has any advice as to what to add , thanks

Thanks for the report Alex. I have marked it as a solution for future reference.

How have you fixed this. you could swop ballast and bulb from side to side and see if the fault moves with them or remains in the same headlamp. If the fault remains in the same headlamp then it narrows it down either a wiring fault inside the headlight which could be checked easily, failing that it could be a signal fault from the cars module to the headlamp which would require tracing wires from plug to module

This is a example of what I mean

I cans access your files but The evaporator is the main ac component behind the dash and changes fluid into gas to generate the chilling effect and is usualy silent, I have came across noisy heater boxes when ac in engaged but nothing to load. Too much gas in the system can cause a grinding noise from the ac pump at higher revs but this would be very noticeable

You need a good auto electrician for this not a workshop, from your description I would think your steering lock module is not powering up on request and this module is part of the security handshake required to enable engine crank,

When I suggested to Audi they have a ‘ battery not charging ‘ light they told me this was no longer an EU build spec requirement. With so many systems requiring power you would think such a light should be even more important , but the Brussels mandarins who all go to work on a bike do not think so?

GPS jamming or spoofing is well known over the Baltic Sea near Russia, but over Wigan?

At the risk of stating the obvious, there is a leak that needs to be traced and fixed. Have you looked to see where it is coming out? If you bought it from a dealer in the last month take it back for a free repair or refund.

I've been driving automatics for more than forty years, even the slow and sluggish changing ones, because I am a lazy driver. I never understood why folk would tolerate a metal pole sticking up from the floor that they had to wriggle around like stirring a pan of porridge just to make the car go from A to B.

I am not sure that is possible. There is a legal requirement in what used to be the Construction and Use Regulations for the indicators to be clearly audible, so I doubt the volume would be adjustable by a user. Can you tell us why you want to turn it up? Do you have a hearing problem? Is there other noise in the car drowning out the indicators?

Hi all. I'm looking to purchase a 2017 S6 saloon. The one I am looking at has done 64k miles, had full Audi history, except for 2 services that were done at a Saab main dealer for some reason. Its up for 23k I am aware of common issues such as air suspension, and turbo screen problems. But, is there anything else I should look out for? Also, does anyone know where I can see a copy of the service schedule for these cars? What's due when etc... The dealer has a print out of when the services have been carried out and mileage, but no details as to what has actually been done. The main thing I am looking for is when the gearbox is due for a service, and if its been done, along with any other services that may be due on the rear diff. I've tried looking on line and with Audi but cant seem to find much. Thanks Dan

Thanks - However, last week had the dreaded StarterNator failure. I gave the Audi Dealer a copy of the Audi document that shows this fault is now covered FOC for cars up to 7 years old. Looking elsewhere on the forum, it appears that some Audi dealers appear not to be aware of this and some people have had to pay the associated very large bill. My car has a 9G8 reference in the build codes which meant it was covered. Text of the document as follows: Recall reference R/2020/265 Recall Type Car Recall Date 2020-10-02 Reason for concern MOISTURE MAY ENTER THE BELT DRIVEN STARTER-ALTERNATOR Reason for recall It is possible that moisture may enter the belt-driven starter-alternator. Remedy The starter-alternator must be replaced on the affected vehicles. How to check if the vehicle is recalled Contact the local AUDI dealership or manufacturer. You will not need to pay for anything involving the recall. How the manufacturer will repair The Recalled vehicles will have the fixing checked and corrected as necessary by and official AUDI service. AUDI Reference ID 27H8

Audi Q7 Quattro 2024 limited edition - struggling with apple car play working wirelessly. I get this message - everything is set up but then my phone is faded grey on system display. Only works if plugged in. another point is the wi fi ir connects to Audi mini wi fi - but doesn’t work - I had to turn off wi fi yesterday to get google maps to work

This member has a similar issue and his mechanic did this temporary fix:

Mine has FBSW and does have the Tour Pack.

Can’t remember the code but I had a failed NOx Sensor.

I het this too. Severity varies. When the car was under the manufacturer’s warranty, Audi did do a fix but the rattle eventually came back. Not too bad and probably temperature dependent.

Had my ATF Fluid and filter/pan at a ZF Specialist at 80000miles. I know people say ‘sealed for life’, by the manufacturer ZF recommend every 8 years or 80000 to 100000 miles. decided to stay on top of this as I am retired, bought the car from new and want to keep it long term. They had to undo part of the sub-frame to access the gearbox oil pan.

Will do, collecting it this Thursday.

Also have you done any diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up?

Neither for mine in regards to red or yellow engine lights. Just the error in the scroll menu on the central part of the virtual display. The breaks on mine only started juddering on replacing with a new sensor. Tried to clear codes too with OBD reader but no effect. Likely will bring it into mechanic as definitely dont want to brick the ABS. May need cleared with a better OBD2 tool either. No fault codes either on OBD

Hello everyone. I need advice. From time to time I have a problem P119A00. How I can to solve this issue? The high fuel pressure sensor is new. This problem appears during acceleration. And also I noticed that LTFT - 10% even -14.
