thatukguy_james started following thinking to sell my s1 , Audi leaking on drivers footwell , side mirror issue and 1 other
-
when there is a leak in the foot-wells i always look at wiring plugs that go into the engine bay. common on some cars is where people ran amps via a hole and water from the bay drops down them get some bottles of water, get someone to sit in the car and start to pull water around places to see where it coming from

2016 Audi A1 1.4 TFSI (CZEA) beeping noises
thatukguy_james replied to TheBuell's topic in Audi A1 Club
i have to say i read this out to 6 people in my office and one girl nearly chocked on her gum lol, glad sorted -
Hi all, I'm toying with selling my s1 after summer and wonder as always to put it out there on a owners club to sell. Owners clubs, i have for the last 40 plus years felt are were people go to read up on cars and see if any for sale. I myself joined here to read up and traveled some 200 miles to pick up my s1. If i post up some pics and info, would the site help with their thoughts?

Based on this information: https://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/137643-Little-button-below-and-right-of-fan-speed-control?p=1037665#post1037665 ... It looks like the indicator on the left would light up if the auxiliary heating is activated remotely, or via the MMI. Whilst I've seen plenty of references to fuel-based aux heating systems in VW manuals, I've not seen it available in any of the VW group cars I've had. Suspect it's more for the colder bits of Europe.... Someone here will know more. Do you have this feature on your car?

Any ideas what the icon to the left is?

lakoe started following Misfire Diagnosing on my S5
-
So to start, i have a 2008 Audi s5 with the CAUA 4.2 v8. It has 100k miles and about a month and a 1/2 ago it began getting misfires in cylinders 1 2 and 4, so i went about diagnosing and checking the plugs and coil packs and it wasnt them so i moved to injectors recently and took apart the intake manifold, pulled both fuel rails and replaced the 3 injectors on 1 2 and 4, did a carbon clean and replaced the left sides o rings but not the right injectors o rings. i also didnt replace the teflon seal or the intake manifold gaskets when putting it back together, so i finally get it all together and the misfires on 1 2 and 4 are gone but now its cylinder 5 along with a lean code (whats different from when i bought the car - cold starts are a lot quieter, doesnt scream like it used to, much slower, almost sounds muffled when its straight piped, feels like its running on 5 cylinders not 8 and lastly when i do a pull above 4k rpm, a flashing engine light comes on for 5 seconds and then goes back to a static engine light) only ideas i have is to take the whole manifold off once again and replace the other side of fuel injectors o rings, and replace the two intake gaskets. TLDR - 3 misfires, replaced injectors now all 3 misfires gone but new one on different cylinder and lean code. drives the same before fixing.

Well, I ran the adaptation last night, and have been for a drive today. For sure the throttle response is massively better than it was, and no light. However, it was sometimes going a week without showing so time will tell. Will let you know 🤞🏼

Wanted- a6 4.2 v8 , anywhere in UK! Thankyou

The manifold and flap motor came together. Whilst the genuine Audi product was unaffordable, I went for a new EBay aftermarket unit which comes with 2 years warranty, thinking that I didn’t want to take a chance with a second hand unit. i have a VCDS but no where does it give me an option to carry out adaptation of the unit. I am able to turn the flap motor on and off manually and do an overall test Any ideas as to how to get the adaptation done and using what tool?

Stevey Y started following Dreaded P2015 inlet manifold flaps and Air vent silver ring question?
-
Hi pretty straight forward if you look at the second picture the tab in front of you has no locking hook, that is the position tab which is lower and wider than the rest so if you find the reciprocal slot on the vent once located it should just push in. Steve.
-
Hi please let us know how you get on.
-
Hi yes the new unit has to be adapted so that its new values can be learned, was tan aftermarket/second hand manifold? Steve.

cliffcoggin replied to Joe2016's topic in Audi A4 (B7) Forum
Gordan. Joe has not returned to the forum for eight years so it's unlikely he will reply. However I thought his final report fully explained the problem and its cure quite well. -
Just fyi - I can remap my car up to an additional 25% with no increase in premium through Admiral. Ordinarily, that would be the limit of what is achievable and would be fine. In this case, of course, it is more like a 40% increase that is achievable. I was told by Admiral that was uninusrable and when I asked Phantom Tuning in Kent if they could add tweak the map so that it only upped the power to 360bhp they said they were not able to do that. Fair enough - I am sure there is a tuner out there who could, but it might be more expensive. Shame as for a one off cost of £250 and no increase in insurance premium (and konwing the map was well within tolerance and yet would still be noticeable) I would have gone ahead.

Hi Joe2016, These exact things are happening to my 2016 A4 B8. Can you please tell me what issues were found and what was done? I have been having a nightmare of a time trying to get it fixed.
-
As for my opinion, I reckon it's worth exploring different options to get your horn back in action. Whether it's fixing the current one or going for that air horn upgrade, safety comes first, right? But always stay street legal, no need to get on the wrong side of the law!

Dobbo999 started following VCDS Recoding
-
Hi all. Does anyone know of someone or someplace that can do VCDS recoding in the North East. I was all set to go to a nice chap called Claudio at VCDS Diagnostics until I realised he was 271 miles away. I am needing my head unit removed and recoded to UK spec from Japan as well as a few other little jobs. Any help appreciated

Thanks Ali, Did you ask your mechanic to estimate the work involved? Kind regards, Gareth.
