  2. Have you tried eBay? Quite a few on there: https://ebay.us/m/Mrz7yY https://ebay.us/m/1LLkwS https://ebay.us/m/nKzHhi https://ebay.us/m/7URvWa
  3. If you've authorised a third party app to access your car (via the Audi APIs) in order to set timers then that's likely to be the cause of the problem. This link should help. https://www.e-tronforum.com/threads/charge-timer-randomly-enables-itself.6994/
  4. This could be a starter motor issue or crank sensor issue. Or according to this thread the sensors that have decide on fuel delivery can be mapped out: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/197826/%3famp=1

    Underpowered?

    I mean for peace of mind you could get a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Or alternatively get it remapped.

  9. Grettings! Im having an issue with my audi 2010 a3 s3, 2.0 petrol, s-line. When the weather is hot or the car gets hot the engine cranks and doesnt start. It also shuts down suddently and occasionally there are no dashboard lights at all. After it cools down it starts and run fine. I connected my oschiloscope to the battery terminals and while engine cranks i noticed a drop in voltage everytime the engine rotates. It only does a few rotations and then stops. Max voltage drop i measured was 5v. I also used a clamp metter during cranks and got 59 ampere. Any iddea why this happens. I have tried a new battery.
  10. If this is the engine you have the red box is the electronic EGR control valve, the green box is the vacuum operated EGR cooling flap solenoid.
  11. Sorry, I have no idea.
  12. I programme my charging with the Audi app and in car. It sets up fine, but later, very often, it mysteriously changes the charging programme. For instance, I earlier set it up to charge by 8.00 tomorrow. I have just checked and it has reset the charging to another date and time. What am I doing wrong?
  13. Yeah i was asking for this. Not to be turned off but removed completely. I know it is legal in my country. Thank you very much for this information and helping me at all. I want to ask one last question, please. Where is egr located?

    Underpowered?

    Hi, I have just brought home an Audi A5 Avant, 204ps petrol version. Very nice, love the spec, but.. it feels so underpowered.. I’ve come from diesel to petrol so I understand the torque differences etc, but the specs on paper out do my 16 yo Octavia and yet, that pulls so much faster. I was wondering if anyone else has any thoughts? Part of me is wondering if Audi has dialed it down to boast a 40mpg petrol engine. Many thanks
  15. The exhaust gas recycle (EGR) valve returns some of the exhaust into the engine intake in order to reduce harmful emissions. It is water cooled. You can not turn it off, but the whole valve can be removed and the cooling circuit bypassed, however that will increase emissions and possibly cause other problems such as higher engine temperature and rapid blocking of the exhaust system. Whether such a modification is legal in your country is something you will have to discover for yourself.
  16. If you get some I'd be interested to find out how they look if you could let us know here please. I've got a couple of worn ones myself, usual suspects, heater fan up and down, seem to be the most used buttons in the world. I just set the temperature on mine, put it on auto and leave it alone. Works well enough for me.
  17. Im not really familiar with cars but if egr is turned off?
  18. Is there a reason for the question Amanda, or just curiosity?
  19. The likely culprit is the EGR cooler which can leak coolant into the engine causing the white smoke. It's expensive to replace.
  20. Yes. A 2011 cabriolet with 67000 miles on it. 😎
  21. Brilliant mate and many thanks 😊
  22. Hello! I am а proud owner of an Audi a6 c7 3.0bitdi. The car suddenly started losing antifreeze at 500 ml per 1000 km. The heating of car works perfectly, it doesn't overheat, the engine is dry. With more aggressive driving, it loses more antifreeze. Also, after about 500 km of driving, the first 5-10 minutes it smokes thick, white smoke. Can you give me some advice?
  23. So what did they do to the brakes, and has it cured the noise?
  24. Hiya, is there anyone out there that has an A3 1.2 TFSI Cabriolet S-Line please?
  25. That's a new one on me. Glad you got sorted.
  26. You can buy sticker kits from ebay that go over the original switches. Very common issue on Audi's of that era. My A6 is the same. https://ebay.us/m/8AMJc7
  27. LHyyY Car Air Conditioning Button Sticker For Audi A4 B6 B7 2000-2004,A/C Controls Radio Dash Buttons Sticker Interior Accessories : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive I don't know if these are the exact ones you need but you should be able to find the right ones if not. Hope that helps, but as I said, I can't vouch for the end result if they turn out looking naff.
  28. Good plan. Please keep us posted on how you get on
