This is fantastic advice thanks for this. I'm going to pin the post for other members 🙂

To add I doubt any Audi dealer would fit a performance chip.

The door issue could be an issue with the striker unit. Older audis suffered from this like the A6 C5. The seat movement could be an issue with the switch.

Where has it been important from? You might be able to get a certificate of conformity from VAG for it which will state the emissions.

Might be worth speaking to autologics or Audi retrofits to see if the alarm can be coded out.

Well cheers mate.....I've been umming and ahing about getting a diagnostic tool for this but have no idea which one to get. Bearing in mind the age of the car and its value I'm wondering if it'll be worth buying one. Which model would you suggest and how much might it be.....I'll sit down before you reply.....🤑

Id definitely say it could be the megatronics unit. You could send this off to be tested.

I think the screens are the same, so as long as you get a screen with the same part number you should be fine.

Could it be an issue with the thermostat?

Id recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up but I'll bet it's either an issue with a leaking suspension airbag, failed air compressor or air compressor relay.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up, as it could be an issue with the control module.

I agree with Richard. Wire case scenario the megatronics unit is on the way out.

Spoiler will definitely be bonded on.

Haha, yeah I think if it was my car I would do similar, she doesn't seem overly bothered but the only trouble is I have to drive it a couple of times a week and it amazes me how 'unpremium' it feels compared to other stuff. Some people must have different tolerances to noise, a bit like some people were very accepting of the terrible Audi suspensions of old. I will get her to ask the friendly local service team what they think when she takes it in next and I will change tyre brand but I suspect the issue is not specific to this car. Thanks

It might need a diagnostic check with a more sophisticated diagnostic system, no disrespect to your code reader. Erratic idle as you've rightly suggested could be the maf sensor but also the lambda sensor, cam position sensor, crank sensor, injector or injector seal etc.

Thought I'd share the reset buttons and procedures for different models.

Glad it's working again 🙂 keep us posted on developments.

Looks great! Keep us posted on how you get on with other mods.

Hi all!!! New here and first time Audi owner. I recently brought an imported A1 2014 plate, firstly I love it! but i've been having a few teething issues with the DVLA and the V5 etc. So as I said it's a A1 ,2014 plate, TFSI, automatic, the long book has finally been submitted and i've already noticed an issue with how many doors it has been registered as having, thats fine, I can sort that. But i've got no idea if its had the correct emissions recorded. Im not sure how I go about making sure it has the right info recorded or what it should have recorded as I have limited paperwork for it as the dealer said he sent it all off the DVLA for the car to be registered. It's cost me £231 to tax for 12 months, does that sound right for those with similar vehicle? I ask this not only to make sure everything has been recorded correctly but also so i'm paying the right amount for my residents permit as this is based on emissions and if its been recorded as a higher band then not only am i paying the wrong tax but the wrong bracket for my residents permit too. It's a whole saga. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! thanks all!

You definitely need an auto electrician or Audi independent specialist.

Thanks so much for the update Andy, glad you got sorted 🙂

If cliffs idea doesn't work you can get the adblue system mapped out.

Ayoop, it's that bloke again. As per the title, my Allroad has decided that I didn't have enough street cred and has helpfully decided I would look SO much cooler driving a (very much!) lowered car. I had noticed that in the past couple of mornings, she looked a tiny tad lower on the o/s/r but came up just fine after the (mandatory in my view, with 223000 miles)1 minute warmup prior to moving off. She was fine yesterday but today I pulled off the drive and as I hit the second speed bump in the village at about 15mph she felt suddenly quite hard at the front. So I took things easily until the third speedbumpwhen I realised the suspension was now rock solid. Turned round and parked up. Wow, the front is lower than a 1970s Citroën CX with knackered spheres, but the back end is just slightly down.....so at this age am I looking at a) new front struts, b) a new pump or c) wow how lucky is me, it's just an air supply line popped out. Your thoughts would be most welcome at this juncture, thanks in advance. Ps, she had been sitting for a little over 3 months till the end of April with a non functioning wiper mechanism and a detached bonnet release cable (shudder!) but that's now sorted (shudder again!).

Fantastic work 👍 which Porsche calipers have you fitted and did they bolt straight up? Or did you have to change the hubs?

Hi, can anyone tell me if I am missing something here. Small pipe coming from under front air intake not connected to anything else.
