Hi Martin Sorry to hear about the problems you are experiencing. Do you think the failure to start and alarm activation could be something to do with the Ghost immobiliser I recall you had fitted? The settings message on start up does appear superfluous but if you put the car into drive is should disappear. The phone connection problems you are experiencing seem to be a common issue so hopefully Audi will be aware of it. Unfortunately the driver assistance aids are now mandatory on EU vehicles and are obtrusive. I think whichever new car you buy you will be faced with the same necessity of deactivating them each time you start the car. Audi have in their favour made it easy to access them through a single press of a button. I hope the problems you are experiencing will be resolved quickly.

how the hell can you can you chill when you're constantly stressing about re charging the car 😱

Hi, I was wondering if I could have any help please. Mechanic took a look and said chain was fine but in my opinion I think he was not a good mechanic as he decided to fill it with thicker oil. Video below. https://youtube.com/shorts/x1v2CPiySVU?si=GSoD6IpuXaJpE3Lu

Hi there. No luck I’m afraid. Just literally tried it again sat on the driveway. Ignition/engine on, all windows closed. Single click roll the driver window down. Release and then press done two clicks and hold for 10-15 seconds. Single click roll window up to top, release and pull up two clicks and hold for 15 seconds. Then nothing. One click still not working to open drivers window. One click works to close the window but not open

Does anyone know how I can confirm that my vehicle has PR code 9G8 please?

Done, but something is missing here, the mechanic don’t know what is missing here try to reach Audi but also they didn’t know. StreamableWatch unnamed | Streamable

Any news on this Simon?

Thanks for you advice. I will be giving it a try.

So part arrived quicker then the dealer planned, car has been dropped back and now have new issues that were not there before the car went wrong. New issues: Car is not recognised on the Octopus Go app and will not charge on the Hypervolt, did not have this issue before, have deleted the car from Octopus and re-setup the car and it still says no car plugged in. My profile has gone, could not add me so had to delete my profile from the car, app and and online and re-do, car now sees my profile. App is reporting incorrect battery levels of the car, this was also doing this before the delete and re-install but still does not show the right battery level, the app is talking to the car as I can open and close does, sound horn etc from the app but the battery level is wrong. Drivers side door central locking not always opening. I also tried plugging the car into a RolecEV charger in a car park and that reports no car connected. Anyone got any thoughts as it looks like the car is going back to the dealer?

Hi, Thank you for your response. I saw this thread whilst researching before I posted my own. I’m not convinced I have an alternator problem. In my case it is the engine which suddenly died whilst under way. There were no abnormal indications at all on the dash and there’s no evidence of any event in the diagnostics record. In my opinion that indicates that the engine behaved correctly in response to its inputs (so nothing to report) but possibly one of those inputs was erroneous. The dealer is unable, or unwilling, to troubleshoot the matter.

Hi Steve, How are you? I’m looking to get up to Nottingham sometime time next week (don’t know exactly when yet, that’s down to when I can get into Notts kayak club, could be the weekend ), to buy a racing kayak, so could bring the wheels up then if you’re still interested in them?

There’s an aftermarket upgrade to the MMI & maps you can get. Not sure if it dies anything with the DAB radio but you could ask: Satnavmapupdates.co.uk MMIupdates.com I used the 1st one to update my maps but don’t know if it did anything to the radio.

I totally agree with everything you have said, for me its not about the money, its about Audi taking their customers for a ride and not in a good way. If you need any help please let me know I am going to carry on with my little battle with Audi UK and I shall be keeping everyone here updated

It’s petrol - mild hybrid.

Thanks for the help

I jump in my sq5 , start it up , press to start the mmi. Then drive it . No faff , no fuss , it's been faultless , even with Audi sense activated. Think maybe OCD is the issue here . ☺️

Hi can anyone help with this. I'm looking to code out the 'brake pad' wear limit reached message on dash. I managed to eliminate the orange brake light symbol when the message appears along with the audible by changing the long coding on VCDS but does anyone know where i can delete the message aswell on VCDS? New pads & discs fitted and also new genuine brake wear sensors but there seems to be that there might be a fault somewhere so im looking to de code it completley. See picture below of message and red warning light

ThankQ for the prompt response, it was my local dealer that actually called me, I had my car booked in for the Recall work to be carried out (it was my Audi connect Phone App that actually notified me of the recall in the first instance ), my dealer called me to say the Recall was “recalled” by Audi, cancelled my booking and said if things change they will call me… that’s why I was interested to know if anyone actually did get the recall work carried out

Welcome Peter, Worth trying a number of pattern suppliers who list on EBay. You should have some choice there. Also try Aliexpress. Re. fitting:- your trusted local garage should be able to then fit them for you. Please let us know how you get on. Regards, Gareth.

Welcome Paul, Yes, strange. Would suggest you simply contact your dealer for clarification. It doesn’t really matter whether anyone else has been confused - you have - and that’s all that matters. Please let us know how you get on. Regards, Gareth.

Has anyone else had the latest Q5 Recall for seat belt pre-tensioner “recalled” ? More interestingly did anyone have the recall work carried out? My 2026 Q5 was Recalled, however I received notice that the Recall was indeed Recalled which seems strange

Hi, I'm looking for a engine/injector wiring loom that goes from the ECU (8P0 907 115 T Med 9.1) to the injectors (06F906036A) for a Audi A3 2008 2.0L TFSI Quattro due to an intermittent misfire issue on cylinder no. 4. Cost from TPS for genuine replacement is astronomical, any help would be appreciated (e.g. where to source a replacement, correct part no., etc)
