That must've been old car not from 2015 .. and up... but trash cars... I replaced after 45 or 50k and it was still gold..

Hi Gareth, Yes, very similar issue. Audi A3 Sportback (8PA)1.6 2013. Keep getting ESC Traction Control & ABS lights coming on intermittently and car juddering and sometimes cutting out. Sometimes it just clears itself. Sometimes it's fine and sometimes it just doesn't start. I have OBD Eleven so can get fault codes etc. It is actually my daughters car but she got fed up and bought a new one. Plan is that i have it as it better than mine. Not really looked at it much, just picking up tips from this forum. All i have done to date is changed 1 Wheel Sensor.

We'll hopefully everything should be OK and I'll post the results.. Thanks Renato

OK thanks, I'll get the battery checked and I have an auto electrician coming 3rd June so I'll get the module checked too. Appreciate your time. Andy

Hello Wendy, Welcome, and sorry to hear of your issue. This just isn’t acceptable. Have you tried a search on here for ‘pre sense’? I’m sure there is a thread going on it. If it were mine, I would be threatening ( in writing) to reject the vehicle. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hi sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings but definitely not.

Hi probably the battery is on its way out, you said the lights go when driven therefore its getting more charge, sounds like a classic case of a failing battery thats not holding its charge. Steve.

Hi in theory that would bring the whole lot right down as the S Line is 25mm lower than standard, not sure how much extra strain will be put on the bushes on the suspension itself but best policy would be get it on a old fashioned hydraulic ramp after fitting spring and with the car at its ride height slacken off the bush locking bolts and then re tighten, then get the alignment done on a Hunter 4 wheel alignment system to adjust the castor and camber to prevent erratic tyre wear. Steve.

Looking for some advise noticed a humming noise at motorway speed only wen I press accelerator but only between 50 and 60 but noise goes away wen I let off its not a turbo or bearing noise

As you wish, but I'd be concerned that the gear change links or the clutch release lever are loose.

Hi All, I'm after some help with my front bumper. I was parked in Asda and it looks like someone has backed into my a4 and smashed the grille. Bumper/bonnet looks fine and the front crash bar is okay. Luckily they have just caught it above that. Would anyone happen to know the part number for the black edition grille. I've read that the 2019 BE have the same grille as the same year S4. I've found one on Ebay that look similar, but just can't confirm if it's the correct one. Thanks very much in advance for any help. 🙂

Mine was the windscreen.

Thank you very much for your help

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

Glad you got sorted 🙂

You're welcome 🙂 Not a daft question at all. If it were mine I'd change any gaskets whilst the parts a disassembled. You wouldn't want any leaks after you put it back together.

Hi Steve That was my next investigation, would I need a computer to turn off ESP light or do simply change the wheel sensors. As always I'll keep you in the loop. Cheers mate Dale

I had a similar problem where the front wipers would only work when the car was moving, rear wiper nothing and high beam not functioning (high beam flash would though) thought the bonnet switch lock but wasn’t that After checking fuses found no power before one fuse forget exactly which one. So fed power via another and everything worked fine (still has fuse protection) So in my case must be a wiring fault somewhere.

Hi all Looking to purchase an RS4 Avant, 2020 onwards. One of the things I can’t get to bottom of is around suspension options. If I look at new spec there’s something called Dynamic Ride Control, yet when I look at approved used cars, there are a series of different options. Basically my question is….what are the options in terms of adjustable or dynamically controlled suspension and for those with a car do they make a real word difference to ride quality? Thanks in advance

Afternoon all, I'm doing some trouble shooting on my 2011 A6, C6, 2.7tdi - CANA engine code. On my diagnostics and that of an Audi independent the temperature before turbo is measuring 849°C, but there is no sensor before the turbo on the 2.7tdi (there is on the 3.0 tdi). Can anyone point out if this temperature is irrelevant / red herring or is the reading is calculated from another sensor or a resistor somewhere? I have replaced the temperature sensor on the EGR cooler to rule this out but no change there. The reason for looking into this was over the last 2 years the car has had DPF regeneration issues, resulting in me having the DPF professionally cleaned at Home - DPF Clean Team, EGR cooler cleaned by myself - a real pain to remove, injectors removed and tested (all ok) as well as other unrelated exhaust temperature sensor failures. Any advice greatly appreciated on where this temperature input comes. Thanks a lot.

Of course you are both right, and on reflection, the £130 charged wasn’t too bad. It’s just my mind would have been set on the very low cost resolution of a squirt of WD40 and a light tap on the offender. It’s a Welsh thing of short arms and deep pockets! Glad it’s fixed, and thanks for returning me to the true scene of economics? Kind regards, Gareth.

Hi. Had a niggling problem with the right hand charge flap not wanting to close. When I did get it to closed and locked, it opened again when I unlocked the car. So a trip to the Main Dealer was needed. I was probably going to be told "you will have to book it in Sir, our next available time is July" .But, "hang on" the receptionist said I will get a techy to come out and have a look for you. Anyway 10 minutes later I am back on the road with a normally operating flap. The techy said the mechanism gets a bit sluggish sometimes. Probably a squirt of WD40 was used. I was so pleased with the service and in a state of euphoria I gave the techy a fiver. Tony

Good start to the weekend 😊

It sounds like a broken spring in the dual mass flywheel.
