This would be the only issue or its an issua in adition to the ones you mentioned? Could a defective imobiliser also prevent the engine from starting and also turn off the engine suddently. Those happens when its hot weather only.

Thanks. I’ll check the myAudi app and the OVO app. I might try doing all my charger timing with the OVO app only

Masontonylee. I have merged your identical topics because duplicate topics lead to confusion and dilution of effort. Please do not create duplicates. It won't get you any extra attention.

Never mind what the seller told you, can he provide written evidence of the car's service history? If he can not, walk away from the deal unless you fancy some expensive repair bills. Relying on a video and the vendor's patter to inform a purchase decision is something you will regret for ever. Go see the car, drive it, and examine the paperwork. If you don't feel confident enough in your own judgement take a knowledgeable friend or get the car independently examined. I believe the RAC or AA can provide that service. Above all don't rush into a decision. If you miss out on this one there will always be another.

Hi Tony. Sounds OK to me. But I am no mechanic either. The other thing is, how many miles and how much. Tony

Steve. I have hidden your original duplicate topic. It's perfectly fine to reply to your own topic if you have extra information to add.

Send us some photos of the issue Steve.

Hi..have the fault code P001600 code. Reads “ crank shaft position-camshaft position correlation bank 1 sensor A “ basically more frequently now I have an issue starting but it always does start drives and runs fine. Economy still good. Performance still good. Belt tensioners and pump changed around 30,000 ago. Now done 156,000. I’m hoping it’s just a bad sensor..where is the camshaft sensor located? Is it under the belt cover! Easy job? Or NOT? Audi A3 2.0TDI 8P

Hi All, I've got a Q8 where the pop out side sunshade for one of the rear doors has a a bad crease in it it looks like the corner of the fabric has come away from the metal frame. is there a way to fix this easily as Audi want to replace the entire unit at £600 inc fitting which seems pretty exorbitant? Has anyone else had the same problem and managed to fix it? Is there a car interior fabric/upholster that may be able to help? Would appreciate some help. Huge thanks, AA

Glad you got sorted 🙂

Undoubtedly they will help if you pay them lots of money. Subscription services are a nasty increasing trend amongst car makers recently. BMW tried it a few years ago in regard to some of the luxury features that required an annual payment for continued operation.

My wife's Yeti has the stop/start system which I surmise from watching its operation works as follows. The stop/start control constantly measures the battery voltage when the engine is stopped to ensure there is enough power left to restart the engine. Urban driving involving many stops/starts without enough time between stops to fully recharge the battery will be sensed by the control which then prevents engine stops when stationary. Add to this the load imposed by the AC system in hot weather and stops may not happen at all. All of this requires a special kind of battery (AGM) which needs to be in tip top condition for the function to work. That's why one of the first symptoms of a failing battery is that the stop/start system does not engage. Personally I am undecided if the system is worthwhile if you take the wider view of the overall impact on the environment. Does the fuel and emission saving balance the extra wear on starter motors and batteries which then require replacement using more materials and energy? I don't know because I can not quantify the two sides of the equation, and as a scientist at heart verifiable facts are important to me.

Read the advice on the sensor bought one on Amazon replaced it after watching it on You Tube and it’s cured the issue

Hi. If I read correctly data sheets, then both models (55 and 60) use the same electric motor (same power). In EV only mode they behave the same - max 130kw of power (same 10s acceleration to 100kmh), but in combined mode the 55 version limits electric motor performance to caa 50kw. If above asumption is correct then there is only SW limitation, since the HW electronics needs to support max 130kw power in only EV mode?

This is what it should look like
