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?

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?

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

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.

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.

Im not really familiar with cars but if egr is turned off?

Does anyone have an A3 1.2 TFSI Cabriolet S-Line?

Is there a reason for the question Amanda, or just curiosity? -
The likely culprit is the EGR cooler which can leak coolant into the engine causing the white smoke. It's expensive to replace.

Brilliant mate and many thanks 😊

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?
-
So what did they do to the brakes, and has it cured the noise?

That's a new one on me. Glad you got sorted.

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

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.
-
Good plan. Please keep us posted on how you get on
-
Yeah, I've seen complete reproduction sticker kits, I can't speak for the quality of the end result though as I haven't tried them myself. I'll find the link and post it here mate.
-
Hi there, it's the markings. They are worn to the point of being white. Just wondered if I could obtain reproduction ones. Cheers.
-
Is it just the markings on the buttons that are worn out or are the actual switches not working, sorry, question mark button's died on my keyboard.
-
Hi All, I recently bought my neighbours 2002 A4. Does anyone know of a supplier of replacement dash buttons. Ours are worn out. Many thanks 😊

Sorry for the delay everyone, had to wait to get a service date, had it in yesterday, techs have said the sound is coming from the way the brakes are worn and suspension itself is fine (first time I have heard that...)
-
I think I might whip the injectors out over the weekend and get them tested, and see what the diesel specialist reckons.
-
Had a search through the forum, a fellow member had a similar issue and it was the injectors: https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/27168-rough-idle-sometimes/ Could it be throttle body issue? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/419589/%3famp=1
