I’ve changed the glow plugs, circuit open fault code still shows Ive changed the glow plug module, codes still show Ive changed the injector/glow plug wiring loom writhing the valve cover, codes still show Recently i’ve been having trouble with my steering lock and ignition switch, can anyone help with my issue. Thankfully it’s hot out so my rough start isn’t terrible

Ok. Thats great then. I just take a look on some paperwork because I’m like the second driver, I’ve got the car from a dealership (not Audi) about 4 months ago,and there’s lots of paperwork done at Audi by the first driver but nothing about this alternator but I’ve found an offboard diagnostic information system with lots of electrical faults, couple of papers actually ( I think there are all electrics faults of the car) first fault is like battery 48v(a6,c31)- charging fault all of the papers with those electrical faults are from the 3 dec 2024. Now I’m wondering if the dealership bought the car with this alternator issue and they replaced, because if they done that and they didn’t use an genuine Audi/w part I don’t think Audi will replace an aftermarket at no cost but I think the dealership will need to pay for it anyway if not they can get the car back. I’ll find out on Friday when I’m taking the car to Audi.

steve i sent you message with link

The alternator went at about 35000 miles, whole car died on a roundabout no steering no door locks etc. since replacement of the starter generator no probs in another 10,000 miles.

Thanks stevey

Hello everyone I am new on here and to the Audi world this is my first one . I am very happy with the car except for a weird problem!! It is a 2011 A3 8p model. 1.6 petrol. When I get into my car and start up sometimes my dash is illuminated sometimes not .. If I turn the lights on it will illuminate and the dimmer will work just fine but if I turn the lights off the dash stays illuminated but the lights on my window switches go off and heater controls go off as I think they should.. has anyone else have dash illumination issues. Thanks for reading. If it makes sense to anyone. 😄

Hello Sam, I bought a set of bespoke carpet mats for our non-Audi quite a a few years back from Carmats4U ( still operating I believe). You could specify the quality - I think I chose a quality near the top, and they didn’t disappoint. In fact they were transplanted into a newer non-Audi and are still good. As well as choosing the quality, you could also choose the edge binding, and the stitching colour. Please let us know how you get on Sam. Regards, Gareth.

Hi on your year of car just refit it as they normally sort themselves out after a few drive cycles it works out the problem is gone and any lights should go out, Steve.

Hi 10amp is about as high as you need to go, from memory I have nearly always used the fusebox under the cover on the left end of the dash, check the owners handbook for what fuse does what as you dont want to use an ABS/wipers fuse or anything that if it blows will leave you in poo creek, depending what the spec is of your model there may well be a spare fuse port in the box, thats what I did with my A6, the spare port was in the purple square, test for ignition live with meter. Steve.

OK thankyou

It'll depend if codes were there to start with. If no cors and no EML then you should just be able to refit it without a computer

Same buddy. Where in Leicester are you based?

Leicester buddy, you?

Hi Does anyone know the part number for the Caliper logo plate or where to buy replacements?

Sorry for late reply. My car has factory fit sunroof. sidesteps and tow bar. There are no towing restrictions,

Hi I have a similar problem but not from the front. A juddering from underneath/rear the car when going from a standstill with full lock in and accelerating briskly. Mine only happens when warmed up. There is a TPi or TSB whatever it's called for Quattro Ultra.. So far they've done a software update and a clutch adaptation (twice) but it isn't fixed. It goes in next week for a clutch pack replacement on the rear transmission. My car is fortunately still under Manufacturer's warranty.

Hi Where and what fuse is suitable to power a dashcam

Very nice, and thank you. I've found a guy who says he can rebuild mine. Got to source all the parts but as you know it's not cheap. Pistons £1k+, cams £400-500, turbo £600, injectors £600 etc. Please keep us posted on how you get on collecting it. Where abouts are you based?

Hi Steve, the interior work was done by a chap who does all of Tom Hartleys cars, based in Derby, so he's very good. The garage that did my rebuild wouldn't normally undertake such a job due to time scales and how involved it would be. It's been a struggle, there's still a few discussions to be had, its not been plain sailing, but hopefully these will get sorted. I'm probably going to pick up the car this coming week so will know if she needs to go back in for anything soon. I'm thinking an agreed value of 20k would not be unreasonable in light of all the work, the transmission was sorted when I purchased the car back in 2020 under warranty.

How many miles got your RS6 Mark?, did you have any issues with lights coming up on dash board whiteout reason after replacing this alternator generator?

Think they are called Highway and thankyou.
