Is this the same car you asked about in https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/28800-gearbox-issues-s3-8v/#comment-116099 and failed to update the forum as requested?

Home from work early, beautiful day so decided to take the s3 out for a spin. Pulled out of a junction 2nd gear pull and car immediately drops power,stays in second and gearbox malfunction comes up. Limited performance. Turned off and on and it reset. Seems fine on higher gear pulls but same issue happened again twice when setting off. I do think the shifts are a bit rough sometimes now. I did the usual reset of the mech unit the other week too. Anyone have any issues like this. Car is stage one map but gearbox standard. Would this have an effect ? Thanks

2024 reg . Only had it 3 days . Love 💕 it. Bit of a rattle from the glovebox area , other than that it's smashing.

Great stuff

Yes fully rewaterproofed

No probs at all, Audi love to charge extra for everything

Cheers thanks can't belive its not installed from factory really but anyway spot on thanks for your help.

Does it charge at home?

Sounds great. Have you had any waterproofing treatment done on the roof during this process?

Just to add if you're needing someone to fit it, then it's worth looking at autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them and been pleased with the results.

That's great to hear 🙂 not a bad courtesy car at all!

Got pea e if mind you could get a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Alternatively give it another week to see how you get on.

He did lol gave me a v8 range rover as a courtesy car too

There's a lot of documented case of motorway chargers not working. If you bought it on finance it might be worth contacting the finance company about your issue.

Thanks for the update. I hope the dealer that sold you the car paid the bill?!

Has anyone had any charging issues where it doesn't work at motorway services? Because I have. I have an electric car which doesn't charge. Audi refuse to help and won't let me reject the car.

Ok. So audi recall was for airbag they also changed the inlet manifold and did a software update but as that was some months ago. They didn't say why and what it was for. Gonna try getting hold of a full vcds reader hoping that will have better chance in getting a code up than the garage.

This is the first you have mentioned of a software update at Audi. What equipment in particular was updated and why? Unless you give us the whole story we really can't help you.

So mechanical has been over and he is stumped battery ect is all good his advice was its software or electrical as his cpu is good but not perfect. It's recently had a software update at audi wen it went in for a recall. Could this be a problem?

Thanks Brian.
