Audi A4 B8 2013. MMI let's me connect my phone for calls but not for audio. I had an issue a while ago where the MMI wouldn't work at all, but got that sorted, turned out to be a fuse. Everything was then working fine, it's just suddenly stopped playing the audio through my phone. Any ideas please? Thank you

The problem is vibration between one and 2000 revs after that, the car drives fine

Picking up my S5 Avant today. Lets hope a few months of customer "beta" testing has ironed out the glitches. I have been advised that there are a few features that are pending updates. Thankfully SW updates are over the air - or are they?? I have worked in an electronics and software environment and all new products will have glitches, bugs, undocumented features and ultimately recalls where over the air fixes are not possible. The price to pay for initial exclusivity? Agree with the comment about the S5 being more like an A6 regarding dims and possibly appearance. From my perspective this is a plus as I am trading in my trusty A6 C7 for it. The load space is less but the towing capacity is up, BONUS! The car is on 20" rims, not sure 19's are an option - I did not configure my car but did not see other wheel options on the Audi configurator site. The car has more toys than Santa's workshop - its going to be some time before I find and test them all but looking forward to it.

I wish to refurbish or purchase new centre wheel caps. Cannot find reasonably priced ones. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I had the MAF sensor changed and a fault lit up again, did a little research and found that there is a pressure sensor for the DPF. Located tot he rear right of the engine - top. I recall mine was about £28 from Euro Car Parts and a 10 minute fit.

Yes. I have gone through a whole lot of forums and post that have not ever resolved the problem. But im hopeful someone happens to find this and have a new fix. Also i have figured that ill have to check if the wires from the boot are broken in multiple places possibly because first we found some of them had been cut due to the constant wear. But they could be broken from multiple places. Since if i measured right the vacuum electric wires are getting power when they should not but the vaccuum pump still is not running. And if worst comes to worst im going to try and bypass the alarm and immo.

What make are the pads and rotor? Is there excessive corrosion on the brake carrier so it’s lost shape. Have a look at diagrams here and cross-check on your engine code. https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/audi/RDW/A6/448/6 For brake sliders, pad shoulders and piston face use a little ceramic brake grease. The brake carrier bolts should be okay to undo if you’ve new hardware. These bolts tend to seize if left untouched for periods of time.

Thanks Magnet I have downloaded a service repair manual of Esty I think it was but prefere a proper book online manuals I seem to be allways scrolling about and hunting that is what it is .

Hi folks, the mechatronic unit in my a6 is needing replaced and I’m looking for any suggestions or recommendations on garages that would be able to do this? I know about re manufacturing but don’t know how to go about it. Any help would be brilliant. Thanks

Me too, but all's well that ends well.

Stripping the calipers is a good idea, but I can't help with personal experience or diagrams.

Getting blood from a stone is easier.

Oh I see now. Nope it seems to operate as normal, starts easily every time.

Yeah will update you as I progress, I'm sure ti be popping up for a while I was always on Audifans back when mine was on the road and I've a fair bit of work to do thanks.

Welcome Leroy, but am I missing exactly what the problem is? Regards, Gareth.

We'd be glad to hear of success.

Hi Leroy my Audi A3 3.2 lovely car had it for years regular service done 160,000 miles Problem is between one 2000 revs after that the car runs fine no fault codes at all. What could be the problem? Any ideas? And as any anybody else had this kind of problem before your your help will be appreciated

MOT until 02/26. I bought it from Yeovil Audi in 2013 with only one previous owner. All Audi main dealer history to 2022 then Fergies in Thatcham in 2023 and a local garage last week. It has done 120k. I'm looking for £5,590. The car is located in Reading, Berkshire. Features: AC & Climate Automatic headlights & wipers CD/Radio/Bluetooth/SatNav Cruise Control Front Heated seats Electric Heated Mirrors Leather Seats Parking Sensors 4x Electric Windows Xenon Headlights Note: there is minor cosmetic damage to the rear bumper and near-side rear wing. I can supply photos if required. I have plenty more photos if you are interested.

Hi, its Alfie 6 again, and I now intend to inspect the front calipers. Before I do so I would be pleased if anybody could direct me to an explosive diagram of the caliper unit. Having worked on previous calipers, there appears to be a lack of support for the pads, having only the outside spring to stop rattle of the outer, and the cone one which goes into the piston? Please note that my car is an 2008, which is different from the later models, which has an over lapping external spring. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Mark, Wondered if you have now come out of this unfortunate situation with assurances that the highlighted issues have been resolved -and without damage to your wallet? Kind regards, Gareth.

Have you progressed this matter during the month Andy?

Any update for us Tom?

Are you going to return to the form Sam, to update on the questions posed?

Hello Ian, As far as I’m aware, there aren’t any ‘Workshop Manuals’ now being published- apart from what you might have found as downloads, or on subscription systems such as Autodata. Kind regards, Gareth.
