Thanks for getting back. My grandson bought the car from the auction with the rear window missing from the convertible top but everything was working OK for a while then it stopped. The only way I can get everything working is if I disconnect and then reconnect the searside door modual or the nearside a pillar. Not sure if it's an earth problem or not. Ther is a modual on the o/s inner wing. Not sure if there is one under passenger carpet. Would you know? It's an a3 2010 diesel.

Thank you for your help looking like I'll have to risk it car is mint condition never know it's done that mileage is only 1500 pounds has full service book stamps cheers ian

mostly cost related. i've had a bump and can get halogen replacements a lot cheaper.

Definitely. It's not good.

Last night I posted a couple of replies on Andrew Doyle's LinkedIn profile, responding to comments congratulating him and his team on the release of a new etron model. I last had contact from Audi Executive on 23 April 2024 apologising for the delay in responding appropriately, due to a big backlog. I was told to expect an update within 2 days......7 May, I have still heard nothing. I have suggested Audi attend to their existing customers who are unwittingly driving dangerous, unreliable vehicles, before focusing their efforts on expanding their range. Less lucrative for sure, but essential and absolutely the responsible thing to do. My car has been repaired under the 7 year extended warranty but since it's return has numerous intermittent faults, all very unnerving. In all my years of driving I have never worried about driving, sadly my A6 has ruined that. The dealership performed a software update due to a P button fault. The technician advised that although the light was intermittent if I had continued driving the auto gearbox would soon have jammed as it was 'confused' about which gear was actually selected. My car is now jumping on occasion into M1 and back again, only response has been more unacceptable head scratching. The full gauge will at times return to full while I am driving and the range will increase without a visit to the fuel station, if only! I believe my car to be dangerous and unreliable, certainly not what I would havd chosen to invest my money in. I plan to start politely messaging them through social media platforms and I will also apply to 5he consumer rights programme RIp Off Britain, in the hope that if we can gain their support, Audi may be more inclined to take this seriously. I am now into the fifth month and my patience is wearing thin.

Sorry Shak, I’m failing to link lack of stop/start with water pump and cambelt. Kind regards, Gareth.

High mileage a5 2.tfsi

Running it with barely any oil will more than likely knackered it. Have you checked for leaks? As it shouldn't be low unless there's a leak.

Very nice 👍

The only thing I can think of is that the cars had a replacement head unit at some point

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

Greetings, I got check engine light and code: U04A400 - Invalid data received from PM sensor Has anybody have any experience with this kind of code? Tried also googling it, but there isn't much information about it. It seems to indicate particulate matter sensor fault but tried replacing one (4K0906261) and there was no effect. Even unplugging the sensor didn't change anything on live data related to particulate sensor.

it is a shame like prices fell through to floor kev

Hi I hope you bought the three seals as well, radial shaft seal that goes in the slave cylinder, the driveshaft seal for the diff side, you have to take the diff cover off to get at it, then we have the crankshaft seal behind the flywheel and ring gear if thats leaking thats a whole new level, no point in dodging it as it just gets worse and coats the friction plate in engine oil, bit of advice put a bit of plastic over the brake fluid reservoir before !Removed! the lid back on and wrap the end of the pipe in clingfilm when you remove it from the slave cylinder, finally you have to put a bungee on the clutch pedal to stop it falling on the floor, this also stops fluid loss via the master cylinder which iff allowed to travel to the end of the cylinder body will ruin the piston seal so you will need a new one of those as well, I hope you have a four poster to use as the gearbox weighs a ton it took three of us to lift it off of the gearbox jack. Steve.

I've had a look on the forum but I've not yet had the chance to look at the fuel cap recess! I will, soon and get back to you.

Hello Andrew, I would help if you gave us all the necessary information you have from the outset.

Thanks Sofa - very helpful - I have to admit I didn't know you could dispense adblue at garages - but then it's not my car - so I've never had to find out ! Jools

it only slides one way some were magnetic and when nozle goes in the pumps station opend them

Not on facelift s-line. I’ve checked.

Hello! Of course, it’s a Bank Holiday Monday and we have a long (>250 miles) and the glow plug light starts flashing in the 2008 A6 Le Mans that we bought just a week ago. The car is in semi limp mode and can eventually get to 60mph but I am concerned about doing damage to the car. We are going to stop in Lancaster which appears to have a National Tyres & Auto Care centre which is open. Fingers crossed that they can do a diagnostic. If not, we are wondering if it’s going to damage the engine if we keep on going to the South Coast….

Thanks Avinash, Could you help us by letting us know where you have searched to date. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hi. Is this problem fixed? I haver exactly the same problem with my A6C7 Avant 2.0TDI.

Hi AdamLa, I am having the same exact issue as you've described on my A3 2017. Car has never gone into limp mode though, I've been on the motorway at normal speeds with the light flashing the entire journey. But as you've described, car turned off at work and restarted 4+ hours later on the way back from work - doesnt illuminate. Next morning it does illuminate again. Although heavy acceleration always seems to bring it up whatever the conditions. Fault code is Oil Pressure Switch related. Did you manage to fix the problem and what did you need to do? Was it simply changing the switch? Please please tell me it was an easy fix 😁

Dont ask, 2007 build, electric gremlins, the nav doesnt work neither does the radiom but by god does it glide and absorb uk roads, I love audi but for comfort Mercedes always wins

Hi Wayne I don't think its the relay it is most likely the motor, because they are a cr@p design and fail frequently over the 190k I had the car I went through three rear motors all with different symptoms of failure, constant running, parking of wiper arm in multiple positions, no wiper at all, this is due to water ingress in to the control box PCB, never changed the relay ever, but if you use reverse logic if it works why is the relay at fault, most common symptoms of relay failure are, intermittent function or no function at all.
