It was brand new. I don’t believe it needed coding to the car; I can’t see any options for this in my diagnostic machine. I have the same codes as before starting work on the car. I have noticed this though: IMG_0712.mov IMG_0711.dngIMG_0705.dngIMG_0707.dngIMG_0706.dngIMG_0709.dng IMG_0708.dng

Bought a 2012 A3 Petrol end of Jan, and at the end of Feb car wasn't turning on. Long crank and then doesn't turn on. Car works fine for short journeys but seems like when the car runs for longer than 25/30 mins and I turn it off, it won't turn back on for another few hours. Three times the car stopped working mid-journey. It loses speed and eventually stalls and turns off. Changed coolant temp sensor, crankshaft sensor, throttle body but none of these are fixing the issue. The computer diagnostic system says the below but despite changing the throttle body, these errors are still coming up Throttle control unit malfunction Throttle actuator electrical & mechanical fault Could possibly be a fuel issue? How do I diagnose this without changing yet another part without being sure. I've been working with my dad and his mechanic friend on this but nothing is working.

Hello Nawaz, Chris joined and last posted on the same day some 7 months ago. It would probably be better to send him a PM. Perhaps you could let us know the outcome. Kind regards, Gareth.

what oil to use for a AudiA3 Sportback 2019 1.0 Petrol

Thanks Stephen, Always used it in the now 174K A3 on annual changes. Kind regards, Gareth. -
Thanks John, 13.6v output from the alternator is certainly too low - I would be looking for around 14.5v. Personally, I would put a possible parasitic drain second on the list, and concentrate on getting the alternator/charging system professionally assessed. I would consider getting yours repaired rather than fitting an aftermarket replacement. Seems it’s time for an auto electrician. Perhaps you would let us know how you get on. Kind regards, Gareth.

That's true it would show up stone chips less. I guess it depends on what wrap you go for. - Yesterday

Hi Steve I believe this to be the case. I have a 2008 1.6 8v a3 sline and have looked for it countless times ive had the pipe off between the filter and the throttle body and there's nothing there, my car is idling badly and i want to change the throttle body but Autodoc Sent the wrong one and also change the MAF if I can find it. Thanks Steve Dale

Most warning lights on
David Fraser Nicolson replied to David Fraser Nicolson's topic in Audi A6 (C7) Forum
Warning light went out driving home , car gave a little hiccup thought I had run over something , only airbag light left on . Warning light back on this morning though ? Date and time wrong I noticed had to reset sat nav to auto ECU ? or still possible alternator ? thought since I was driving at 30 in a straight line unlikely bad connection Can't get on a machine till May as all garages booked solid in Shetland groan -
Hi Steve There is a setting to turn off the pre-sense but it restarts once you restart the car. Yes a complete pain in the rear. I did clean the car and this did not make any difference.

AUDI A1 1.6 TDI EGR FAULT AFTER REPLACEMENT
Bjamesa197 replied to Bjamesa197's topic in Audi A1 Club
if only i could find a pinout diagram i could check wires etc.... seems to be no useful info on these 1.6 tdi engines anywhere online. Wiring seems to look good, i put a new plug on for the egr as the prior ones tab had snapped off, triple checked wiring is in the same place as the oem plug -
Radiator fans / Coolant temp sensor / Thermostat issues

Hi try LLL carparts they have a catalogue online the only bit you will needs your VIN code that should give you the part number, with regard to aftermarket as long as you don't buy Made in China they are generally spot on as Audi don't make the parts they buy them from Valeo or Febi or whoever sells to them at a preferential price. Steve. -
Hi as long as you buy the slightly more expensive error free bulbs its perfectly ok, I don't think your interior bulbs are monitored anyway, could be wrong but if you use error free its not going to be a problem. Steve.

Hi All, As most don't follow up on posts & its been a few months since swapping my front discs, I thought I'd do the right thing & give an honest update. The relatively cheap Audura discs & pads from Europarts, that I fitted, are very performing very well with absolutely no issues, no brake judder & they stop the car exactly as they should. I would recommend this particular brand especially if one is on a budget.

That's the way to do it if you can.

You're welcome 🙂

mine bleeped loudly the other day.but thankfully it was showing on the dash as a rear winker not working.you could just go round the car to eliminate anything like that.stephen

Finally working! Audi Connect transferred me to my local dealer. They reset the settings, which they admitted didn't appear to make any difference. Its booked in for a whole firmware update. I think its 1 version behind. Anyway. Today, it starts to actually download the map update, installs it and its the latest for my region. My suspicion is that updating the whole map and the polling looking for an update is a bit wonky, fingers crossed, now it has actually updated that i won't get the error every week that it polls for another region update. So, what is the solution? Firstly, contact Audi Connect - they do try hard. Let them give you a "TPI" and refer you to the local Audi Dealer. No charge to reset/diagnostics, upgrade. and they give you a free car wash. Unfortunately, other than its now working. Its not transparent as to what really was the solution. So all i can post is my journey/experience/steps for anyone with a similar issue.

Where is the badly leaking coolant leaking from Stuart?
-
It could be an injector even though you'd have thought that would throw up a fault code. Could it be a blocked fuel filter?
-
Definitely 🙁 I do miss the old girl on the road

I will find out Friday when I take it in, im going to guess they'll have done it by their in house workshop
