  1. Past hour
  2. Any update for us Ed?
  3. Even the Audi part is reputed to be unreliable so it's possible your new one is faulty, in which case it would be unwise to drive the car until it goes to a garage. However I think it is more likely to be a failing battery as Steve Q mentioned because of the stop/start fault. Let's hope the diagnosis shows something.
  4. Hi Magnet. Yes - that's right After the all in one policy I had for two years, following the original two year warranty ran out, I've now taken out a 2 year service plan . Compared the cost of that with a local 4x4 garage , partners used for some time for a 4x4. . Main Audi came in cheaper. Nothing in it and I get to borrow a car for the day. Local garage don't offer that. 44000 mileage to date on my Audi and I now only do 3000 a year.
  5. Hi All, is there a good cheap source for rear Jack inserts as they seem quite pricey direct from Audi?
  6. Hi it looks like my connectors that connect to fuel filter are broke, anyone point me in right direction where I can get new ones?
  7. Thank you cliffcoggin. Lots to read on that forum. I have read about the warnings on other forums which lead me to buying a sensor and having a go myself. The company I bought from: "partsforgermancars" has been mentioned here a few times. Perhaps the switch is faulty but we have no way of finding out.
  8. AlexR - unfortunately it's nothing to do with a recall and never will be safety related, despite cars stopping in live lanes etc. Glad your dealer and Audi played ball. There are lots of people who haven't been that lucky. Audi have been in damage limitation mode.
  9. I noticed something. The ingnito key is sending unregular voltage to the relay. When i feed the relay with full voltage during ignition the engine starts without cranking.
  10. Hello, Time to introduce myself. I’ve been an Audi owner for the last 10 years, a couple of A1s but mostly A3 Sportbacks. I’ve just traded in my 2020 A3 Sportback S-Line Black Edition 35 Tdi manual transmission for an ex-demo 2024 Audi A3 Sportback Black Edition 35 TDI 150 PS S tronic in Daytona grey, pearl effect and including the Technology Pack. First registered 27th November 2024 and I picked it up on 23rd April this year. Picture to follow. John
  11. Today
  12. Thanks Allan, Wondering if 8mm ID fuel hose might do - make sure it's S.A.E J30 R9 ( the R9 higher pressure rating is important ). I understand the well respected Gates now do a braided version, so well worth searching that out. Please let us know how you get on. Regards, Gareth.
  13. Apologies over delay, photos sent and the internal measurement is 8 mm, any other information req please message me , thanks guys. Alan
  14. Search you tube

  16. Battery is definitely registered correctly and no fault codes yet I still get a beep after a variable time when the clock goes off and doesn't come back on. I don't know if it's an undocumented feature or a fault. Everything else seems to work OK.
  17. A few years ago the car kept telling me the coolant level was low, when it was perfectly OK. I managed to remove the connector on the sensor, cleaned the pins, and all was then OK. Until this week when it started happening again. Trouble is, I cannot remember how to get this connector off. It has a tag on the side that looks maybe like it's a clip preventing the connector pulling off, but no luck. Can someone please tell me what the trick is to pull this connector off?
  18. Hello Pauline, When you say ‘Audi garage have been good…’ would I be correct in thinking the car has been serviced/ repaired by an Audi main dealer during your ownership? If so, you would have been paying far over the odds, to maintain this now 8 year old vehicle, and its long overdue to find either a trusted local independent, or local garage to maintain it from here on in. What mileage has it now covered, and what is your typical annual mileage? Regards, Gareth.
  19. It's only just (3 weeks ago) had a service and MOT. Nothing picked up then. I'll see what happens on Tuesday. Diagnostic is going to cost £150 before anything else. No choice really now than to go ahead with this. Many thanks Steve Q
  20. drivers foot well is damp just mainly the middle of the carpet sills is dry where bonnet pull is dry behind peddles is dry h put a watering can down scuttle panel drain water flew out of the bottom anyone got any ideas
  21. Keep us posted on how you get on. Stop/start issue could be caused by a failing battery. Could the replacement sensor be faulty?
  22. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂
  23. Yesterday
  24. Hi. I bought my Q5 petrol four years ago. It's now 8 years old. No more warranty. Only problems have been the usual: brake pads ... Love the car. Drives a dream. AUDI garage have been good but I'm now worried with no more warranty, this car could start to cost me £££££s if a major repair needed.
