Hi, I bought it from a long term family friend who has sold us all of our cars for decades. He sold it to the guy back in 2013 and it’s only done 35k miles so it’s a really good buy. When it arrived the MMI worked perfectly so I do think it’s an issue with a button or needing a reset perhaps - I’ve read the manu but can’t find the exact issue

Welcome Ruby and sorry to hear of your issue. Did you buy it from a dealer? If so, you need to return it without fiddling with it. It should not be for you to sort it out. Regards, Gareth.

ITS LISTED GARETH PRICE £1000 DRIVE HER AWAY

Thanks Kev. Could you list what price you want for it? Regards, Gareth.

Thanks Graham, but if you could answer the questions, and do the trial then it would help - otherwise you are going to get as many suggestions as the people you ask.

Hi all, I bought a 2012 Q3 yesterday, the MMI was working great and then as we were driving my partner said ‘does it close down’, I said I didn’t know so he tried and of course it closes and has a little button. When he lifted it back up, the MMI was black and we can’t figure out how to get it back on. We stopped and were out for 2 hours which we thought would kick start it but nothing. Any tips? Have tried holding the volume button down for 15 secs and also a few other button combos!

My Audi A8L driver seat air cooler only stays on for 25 seconds. I have checked all the connections to the back of the seat by disconnecting each component and the seat still goes off after 25 seconds for each. I have disconnected the electrics to the seat on the floor under the drivers seat and the air cool system switch lights stayed on and don’t go off after 25 seconds when switched on. I have removed the unit with the switched on and checked the back of it to see if any wires are kinked or damaged and can’t find any. in short when the seat is connected and up and running the air cool system only stays on for 25 seconds, when the seat plug is disconnected underneath the seat the air cooler blue lights stay on and do not go off after 25 seconds. Does anyone have any ideas as I think it is possibly the switch unit itself that needs to be replaced. If anyone else has had this issues and has resolved this, I would love to know how. Respectfully Simon

Hi Gareth, many thanks for the reply. It has done it very occasionally on the nearside, although today it has definitely more noticeable. Someone said "to me it sounds like the steering rack".... but I have no clue so it could be...🙂

My AUDI 8P was driving normally, gears were shifting normally, no noises or knocks or anything. However, few days ago I started up the car, engine noise was normal, and then I proceed to put it into D however the car is not moving at all. Tried putting it into R as well and there is no movement. Car is revving normally however gears are not working. I feel like it is extremely strange that all of this happened just like that with no prior symptom of something within the gearbox going wrong. What could the issue potentially be? It has a DSG gearbox, have tried resetting the gearbox as well with no success. I've attached a video of the issue I'm facing. The car is A3 1.6 MPI TECHNIK 2009. IMG_0991.MOV

I'd like to find a set of these alloys. I am not aware of any Audi part number but I believe they were a factory option for the Type 81/85 Audi 80/90 saloon (Sport) and GT Coupe. They are from the Ronal R8 range, 15x7 inch (as opposed to the 14x6 inch standard), 4x108PCD wheel nuts, ET42 offset. They appear to be identified by a Ronal code KBA-40834. I have found them elsewhere in Europe and I may end up sourcing them from overseas but thought I'd ask here first. I am aware that the same casting is machined to suit the Mk2 golf but obviously these are 4x100PCD and have ET25 offset so won't fit the 80/90/Coupe. Hope I've given enough info. Check the attached pictures. To my mind these are one of the few wheel upgrades that look correct and of the same 1980s period appearance as the standard fitment. Any further information or part number information to help my search would also be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Looking for thoughts.. I have a 2018 A5 sportback 2.0Tfsi...I've just returned from a 6hr drive to and from Cornwall the car never missed a beat..just aircon issues hoping its not anything more than a re-gas..after 3hrs of driving the blowing slowed down and the sir became warmer, turned the blower up to full and the airflow was very low, then a musty smell, which I presume is the aircon needing to be re-gassed.. small trips during the week no problems with the airflow or temperature but yhen the return trip home and after 3-4hrs the airflow was low and temperature warmed up..could this be a re-gas?, motor?, compressor? Thanks in advance

Afternoon I have a failed parking sensor, is there any way of removing it for replacement without having to remove inner wheel arches? Thanks

Hi Folks, recently brought my A3 2013 SPORT TFSI....loving it....i want to update the Sat Nav as car has 2013 version...where is best to get an up to date SD card...many thanks in advance....

Thanks for your response and that makes sense I guess. I have had cars with twin rear fog lights in the past though. Just a bit odd that all the wiring appears present along with the bulb holder? Thanks again. Best regards, David

Have him Jump the electrical connector to see if there is a problem with the pads ir your wireing harness

Only one fog light will light uo in the rear. If both did it could be misunderstood as a brake light.

Who are the actual insurers for your brokerage Dan? Regards, Gareth.

Welcome Graham, A couple of questions/observations:- Any undue vibrations through steering or pedal when braking on right hand curves? Turning right and offside, seems strange - would be easier to explain if it was N/s. Have you tried testing the car in a large area where you can do continuous anti-clockwise circles at full lock for a few minutes, then checking for heat differences on both discs? Regards, Gareth.
