well, The carbon clean was done today using hydrogen, Time will tell if this makes a difference as im still not really driving it. Although i think it may sound a bit better, The code reading date found lots of misfire codes etc, Upon reading the live data, The air mass meter was going crazy, So i ordered a new 1 today which comes on Monday, Im also going to probably replace the 8 coil packs, as it was showing a few codes for that. And somebody has changed a few as there is a mixture of red and black coils currently. What colour are oem meant to be , red or black ? The injectors all looked ok apparently, which is good Hopefully the air mass will solve it, with a combination of coil packs also. The plugs have been done so i wont change those for now unless the other bits dont work. If the air mass meter and coils solve it ill be happy. At least his not told me its 8 injectors lol The air mass sensor was a hard thing to get, GSF, euro car parts and others all listed it but nobody had it. Now has to come from Germany Roll on Monday

I own a 2022 A4 tfsi with mild hybrid. Car is incredibly smooth including engine restarts when on the move, but when stationary a restart after a period of engine shutdown is really rough. I thought the mild hybrid was supposed to make auto restarts smooth?

Followed the handbook guidelines with tyres and got the alignment done once fitted, offset was as not an issue as they were Audi A6 wheels.

Hello Colin, Let’s get back to basics and ask:- What was the tyre size on your original 17 inch wheels? What is the tyre size on the 20 inch wheels?

Maybe coincidence but I found today that if someone is sat in the passenger seat or rear seat the beeping didn’t happen. Wondering if it’s something to do with a sensor? Does this happen to yours? Maybe it’s just all interconnected who knows at this point!

By which time the engine may be damaged. How does that compare to the cost of a new level sensor?

Fair enough. As long as you are satisfied with the car.

My q3 sportback has been to Audi three times. The last time they told me it was within Audi parameters. So I said, you are telling me Audi have built in this really annoying noise on a 45k car. I contacted Audi customer service and it is booked in again for them to have another look. I have said they should check the turbo as a boost leak would make that noise and also the the relief valve in the suspension pump. I will post if I get an answer. Hope you find out what yours is.

Thank you. I'll monitor it and see if I can make the sound more pronounced. It could be in my head as in London it's rare to get up to 40mph!

Probably because the Audi is a better quality of car than the Citroen

£100 does t seem too bad. Can you not base it off the alternative door

No. Nothing.

Please keep us posted on how you get on

Somewhat evasive response! Perhaps I shouldn’t comment on the following, but… ‘..submit …for testing …..rule yes or know’ Um, know for no. ‘Doesn’t cost you…..as your our customer…’ Um, your for you are. Anyway…. Why don’t these people simply state ‘ we used Brand x, and we will now be using Brand Y? Regards, Gareth.

Hello again Colin, Have you had the car long enough to have not experienced this issue before?

I don't have a dipstick but it all points to suspect level sensor. Just don't know what to believe in the meantime as scale was on max when the top up warning came on. Garage checked the amount of oil in it and there is 4.3 litres which should be where it should be. At least if it gets really low the pressure switch should come in.

Hello Ross, Although you are very welcome to advertise this on here, I feel the forum has to emphasise to interested parties that the tyre and wheel are damaged, and that professional advice should be sought re. suitability and safety for road use before actual use. Regards, Gareth.

Sorry and thanks for the reply, to be honest, I, and most importantly my Mrs, haven't noticed any significant difference in the cars ride quality and comfort. If any of us had i would have changed the wheels back straight away. I couldn't find any definitive info either way anywhere so I'm drawing to the conclusion that it's just mileage related wear and tear. The ride quality is superb on the the 20's compared to my 16 plate DS 4 on 18's. Go figure that one!🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for responding. That's a good point, maybe it's just me. It's not the roaring of the engine but can you perhaps hear something in the background, like a whirring that peaks around 0:23 and then continues steadily. I can hear it closer and louder than the engine noise. Also it doesn't seem to change as I move the steering wheel around.
