Good find Adam. If that still doesn’t pop up afterwards, I’d be looking to remove the MMI from the dash for closer inspection so you can observe. If you have access to VCDS that would be worth scanning too.

How To: Audi A3 8V 2017 Facelift MMI Reset Fingers crossed this one works for my model.

You could be right.. however I don't hear the motor spinning or any noise when the screen should be raising/lowering. I would have expected a buzzing or spinning kind of noise during that time. If the gears are broken and then jammed with the broken parts, then potentially I wouldn't hear any noise either. If I can detach the two cable plugs, I might be able to take the motor out and see if the gears or broken though..

Hi CZG engine means it could be a 2.5 engine in which case its chain driven. Steve.

Worth trying Parts in Motion.

Hi again Rob, Following my message above sent to you on July 8th, I was just wondering whether it had been any help to you and whether you have found any alloys? Thanks Chris

Thank you for your reply, you’re right I need to find a good specialist I have contacted many garages they say they don’t do big jobs and clueless I will try to find someone. Thanks again

If the diagnosis was at an Audi dealer I suggest you find a gearbox specialist and get his opinion. Dealers don't do repairs, only replacements; whereas specialists may have a more optimistic diagnosis and a cheaper solution.

Look in the boot, there's usually a build sticker, that will have engine code, 3 or 4 letters next to small print that says 'engine code'. Usually sits under the total KW capacity of engine. LY9C is Ibis White.

Hi all wonderful if you could help please. after a long drive a vibration started just underneath the gearstick and msg came up says gearbox malfunction you can continue driving. Took it for a diagnostic please see photo then they said I have to change the whole gearbox I am in no position to do that, one guessing it’s Mechatronics. Anyone else had this issue before? Or anyone know a good specialist in London so I can take it to them? Thank you in advance much appreciate if you reply.

Thank you. When I’ve cleaned and got the cobwebs off of him I think I’ll advertise on here. Not sure how to find a price though

It seems to me that one or more plastic gears have broken, just as Richard suggested, so no amount or resetting will have an effect. You need to remove the unit and repair it if possible, or replace it if repair is impossible.

Thanks.. I'll have to keep searching for the correct reboot sequence for my model, as I only have the buttons shown in the photo below and every combo I've found online so far hasn't worked to reset or reboot anything. I've managed to turn the system off by pressing and holding the volume knob only.

Hi Steve - have looked in the handbook and the only numbers I can see are - Either F3B CZG or LY9C The engine is petrol

First thing i checked was fuses before disconnecting battery, then attempting reset via control switch,as i stated in post i cannot access boot to get to the pump/control module..i need advice on how to access boot.

Reboot here. https://youtu.be/hvxQfG812wY That said, if it was previously making a noise, suspect broken nylon cog on the motor or such like. Trouble with these infotainment screens, is the dash is under constant heat in summer, so any grease will dry out. Search YouTube. Couple of videos they’re accessing screen by removing air vents and accessing screws. You’ll need plastic anti-marr trim tools.

Have you checked the fuse? Pretty sure you can manually over-ride. The hydraulic fluid reservoir will be in boot, etc. https://youtu.be/XQsxjGBmEeg?is=upf2_ZM2pLvaf6FR

On sites, have used Euro Car Parts and basically collected. Autodoc is good, however will take at least a couple of weeks to arrive. Avoid buying direct from Germany. I used to use Hubauer Shop for genuine BMW kit, however they don’t add tax, so you pay Royal Mail to release. That’s Brexit for you.

Have used Febi before, top mount for wife’s BMW i3, VW brake shields, that sort of thing. A 3.0 TDI is a different kettle of fish though. I have an A4 Allroad with 3.0 TDI, so know it’s heavy. Pretty sure the front and rear (front suspension) lower arms are hydra bushes, so basically fluid filled. Lemforder as you say is OE. Only other thing I’d consider is Meyle HD as comes with 4 year warranty. I broke a rear spring on my car and fitted Lesjöfors after cross checking part numbers. Car is jittery as anything, so that’s all coming back out and I’m fitting genuine Audi. With suspension, don’t cut corners. Not saying Febi is bad, but those arms will last fraction of OE Lemforder arm, plus you’ll have labour again to swap out.

Hello everyone I have been the fortunate owner of an A6 C6 3.0 tdi quattro for the last year and 3 months with (surprisingly and thankfully) no issues. The time has come to change the control arms (both front and rear) After some research I am still yet to arrive to a decision so I thought I would ask the Audi community for some advice to best help me I understand lemforder is an OEM supplier to Audi but the pricing of febi bilstein products are tempting, especially given the fact to change all the control arms including labor would cost as much as I bought the car for. Has anyone used febi bilstein parts, specifically for controls arms and what is your experience with them? Which site would you all recommend I purchase the parts from (autodoc vs GSF vs eurocarparts vs etc)? Any other suspension components worth changing while it is all apart or should I just purchase a full kit? How much should I budget for labor? And last any specialists or even general independent garages garages you would recommend in the Worcestershire area (or even slightly further afield if highly rated)? Apologies for the onslaught of messages and any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks Martin - now amended. Good luck with finding it a new home. Regards, Gareth.

I have a 2006 b7 4.2 convertible, its roof has failed!,I’ve tried disconnecting battery to reset/hel switch open and closed for 30secs??, i cant access the boot to access pump etc, any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

It may be better to change from Octopus Intelligent Go with its variable cheap times controlled by Octopus, to Octopus Go which has fixed times for cheap electricity and use the car's own controls for charging. You would lose the convenience of the phone app but gain more cheap electrons.

Hi look for your engine designation in the handbook, my daughters was a CFFA 2.0 diesel, no wet belt involved except the later versions which have a wet belt for the oil pump drive which I would recommend changing as well. Please state if you have petrol or diesel. Steve.

Hi Steve - thanks for that. One further query on this subject. How do i know what tyoe of belt i have fitted (wet, dry, chain)? Does the replacement criteria apply across the board? Thanks
