  1. Past hour
  2. Glad you've got sorted 馃檪 maybe the MMI needs an update?
  3. Thanks
  4. Definitely worth contacting the motoring ombudsman, but it'll be a 4 month wait to get a case assigned.
  5. If it gives you peace of mind for 2 years, then that鈥檚 all that matters. Expensive for what it is, but that鈥檚 how these things work.
  6. Keep us posted on how you get on. Let's hope it is what you think and not a heater matrix. Is it losing coolant?
  7. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 馃檪 Looks lovely 馃檪
  8. So could be the key then. Have you got a spare?
  9. Colin. I have merged your two topics. It keeps things tidy.
  10. Today
  11. @Magnet All monthly plans are on the Audi site. https://customer.vwfs.co.uk/service-plans/audi.html?traci_c=UK|SI|GA|S|AUDI:DM-P:&traci_s=SI:AUDI:SEA:Google:SearchAd:2023-01:&traci_ee=19596460443:146596466618:645967750295::::&traci_t=audi service plan:e::&s_kwcid=AL!10901!3!645967750295!e!!g!!audi service plan&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19596460443&gbraid=0AAAAAoaLYNOzJR_hMM5mpP3XlWvNIY98q&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvajDBhCNARIsAEE29WruACJdkBiN3UYtDG8ztpgHN4AN-1WdhB2fjwLrz1bSsB3byTcHGkwaAvtIEALw_wcB
  12. think i have found out where my water ingress is coming from its washer fluid topped up 3 times today and dropped below the plastic strainer cup does the pipe run down the drivers side
  13. Thanks Gareth, I had the connector under the driver's see replaced just last year. That's why I thought I might have caused it disconnecting and reconnecting the door motor. Will try the spray as you suggest. Will also ask the local garage to run a fault diagnostic.
  14. Thanks Pauline, For the benefit of others, could I ask how much a month this plan works out at?
  15. Sorry to hear that Reg, Re. air bag light- get yourself an aerosol of contact cleaner, move the seat back as far as possible and squirt the contact cleaner on all the electrical plugs you can find under there. Do not ( in biggest caps!) disconnect anything - simply spray and wiggle the plugs. Hood warning light? Not sure about that, but could well be to do with something you have disturbed within the door/ flexible harness. Regards, Gareth. Reset? would have thought the car was to early for that.
  16. @MagnetNo warranty as car is now 8 years old. I used to have an all in one policy which included warranty, two services and two MOTs. Service has been every yearly. New service agreement is two yearly services and 2 MOTs. Service plan is extensive and one I'm happy with. As I've said local 4x4 garage couldn't match it. Not much choice of garages in this rural part of Cornwall. @spartacus 68 Petrol / automatic. Low mileage may change - I need to see how I'm fixed over next few years. Really don't want to look at changing for another two years anyway.
  17. Thanks everyone for your feedback. As a postscript to solving my window problem I have now got an air bag warning light and intermittent hood warning light. I assume I might have caused this when I was removing and refitting the window motor. Do I need to do some sort of reset? Thanks
  18. Thanks Pauline, When you say you have taken out a 2 year service plan ( with Audi main dealer), can we take it that is for a service contract and does/doesn鈥檛 include warranty cover? How many services do you get for that during the 2 years, and at what mileage intervals? At what intervals (mileage) has the car been serviced at Audi over the last 4 years? Regards, Gareth.
  19. Update- I seem to have fixed this issue by resetting the MMI- so far so good.
  20. Suspect the plastic lever is on the underside of that electrical connector, normally press the tab and pull the plug at the same time. You can use a flathead screwdriver against the side of the expansion tank and the sensor and tease it out. Don鈥檛 use force. More details here.
  21. Photo as promised
  22. I think you鈥檙e worrying unnecessarily, 3k miles a year is very low. Actually, that can work against you with short runs and car not coming up to temperature. Just make sure oil is changed annually. 2017 Q5 is a timing chain too, so no belts to change other than auxilliary drive belt. Fuel filter on a diesel is every 20k miles, but suspect TFSI is in with the pump in the tank. Audi will no doubt says it鈥檚 non serviceable, but that鈥檚 not true and can be done, but hey that鈥檚 just me, especially given changes to fuel unless you run super unleaded all the time. Other than that, brake fluid every 2 years and keep air con serviced.
  23. Any update for us Ed?
  24. Even the Audi part is reputed to be unreliable so it's possible your new one is faulty, in which case it would be unwise to drive the car until it goes to a garage. However I think it is more likely to be a failing battery as Steve Q mentioned because of the stop/start fault. Let's hope the diagnosis shows something.
  25. Hi Magnet. Yes - that's right After the all in one policy I had for two years, following the original two year warranty ran out, I've now taken out a 2 year service plan . Compared the cost of that with a local 4x4 garage , partners used for some time for a 4x4. . Main Audi came in cheaper. Nothing in it and I get to borrow a car for the day. Local garage don't offer that. 44000 mileage to date on my Audi and I now only do 3000 a year.
  26. Hi All, is there a good cheap source for rear Jack inserts as they seem quite pricey direct from Audi?
  27. Hi it looks like my connectors that connect to fuel filter are broke, anyone point me in right direction where I can get new ones?
