Interesting. How much did the company charge for your solution? Was the fix guaranteed?

What is the vin number?

Hello guys, hope you are enjoying the life a bit 😄... First time posting here I have an Audi A6 Competition 2016 3.0 BITDI (326hp). I have more than a year tracing an issue. I’ve been having a strange issue with my car during colder weather (around 4°C to 18°C) and was wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar. On a cold start, the engine fires up just fine. The idle RPM is slightly higher than normal(see the image attached higher_cold_rpm.jpg and normal_cold_idle.jpg). However, if I press and hold the throttle to bring the RPM up to around 1200–1400, the engine starts shaking and the RPM fluctuates up and down.(see the video issue.mov) If I try to do the same thing, it is gone and everything is normal except the high idle RPM which is 900 RPM and after 2-3 minutes it drop to 820-850 and after 5-8 minutes it drop to 800. Also a unpleasant smell comes out from a car's exhaust(maybe wrong air/fuel mixture) On warmer weather I don’t have this issue at all. The idle is still slightly high(the same as on colder weather) on cold start, but there's no shaking or RPM fluctuations when I press the throttle. From the past, the normal engine RPM after a cold start should be a bit higher than 800 RPM(maybe 820-850). Now the idle RPM is 900 RPM and after 3-4 minutes it drop to 820-850 and after 5-8 minutes it drop to 800. So far I’ve checked: No error codes stored (I scanned with a diagnostic tool – nothing came up) Injectors tested and all are within the spec Throttle body cleaned (minor carbon buildup, nothing major – cleaned the whole area shown in the image engine.png except the EGR Valve) What do you think I need to do next of if anyone else has experienced something similar what did you fixed? Thank you guys Flori issue.mov

Micro switches are often the culprit with these. Are you able to tackle this yourself if you know what switch/s are at fault? If not, I would be searching Classic car trimmers in a doable radius - they are often versed in issues with such things. ‘If I lower it (manually) what would that do’? The same end result as if you did it electrically! Regards, Gareth.

If I can lower it, what would this do?

The manual control should be in the boot on one of the side panels. I think you're right with your diagnosis

Hi Steve, I'm sure theres a way to manually close and open the roof however I haven't tried it. I believe the issue is related to the switches inside the latching mechanism that are !Removed! - the motor has rapidly degraded in speed to open/close as well.

It useful for ANYONE because he sends out the relevant software to the customer, so geography is not an issue.

Can you lower it manually?

They should just be revisions the M being the newest.

It's summer and my roof is ironically unusable; ran a vcds to figure whats wrong and still lost. Has anyone one else come across / solved this issue with their convertible before?

Thank you. No Bose labels anywhere. Non-Bose system then. According to various sources: standard amp is available with following part numbers: 4F0910223H 4F0910223K 4F0910223L 4F0910223M Can anyone advise if any amp above can be connected to MMI system? What is the difference between these?

Definitely need more details but I'd consider the thermostat especially if the temp gauge is fluctuating or not rising to 90 degrees.

You're most welcome, glad you got sorted 😊

Definitely looks good

Bose would be listed in that list, also Bose labels will be on the speakers.

Private purchase, no joy. How to tell if my system is Bose or standard Audi? would these use different connector? Picture of a connector if you can tell?

After spending a fortune the garage said they cant fix it. Went to another place and straight away found it was issue with egr coolant sensor. Replaced that and back to normal running temp and stays there. No happy i wasted money and weeks with those other morons.

Well done.

Right guys, I sent all 6 injectors off to be tested, low and behold, injector 3 has zero flow on idle. Got it rebuild, fitted it this evening, and I've got a smooth idle! Took it for a drive, no fault codes and no lights. Low rail pressure seems to have disappeared now too. Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone that gave advise. I can finally get back to work now 😂! Cheers once again!

No it’s the s3 with the issues. Great colour and looks well for a 2017.

The all important consideration is the ‘rolling diameter’. You don’t tell us the tyre sizes of your current 17 inch wheels. Please let us have that information so we can offer you best advice. Regards, Gareth.

John. Your problem is nothing to do with Borat's so I have split it away to a topic of its own. If you want help with your problem you need to give a great deal more detail.

Is this the new one? Looks lovely
