Great stuff

Yes fully rewaterproofed

No probs at all, Audi love to charge extra for everything

Cheers thanks can't belive its not installed from factory really but anyway spot on thanks for your help.

Does it charge at home?

Sounds great. Have you had any waterproofing treatment done on the roof during this process?

Just to add if you're needing someone to fit it, then it's worth looking at autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them and been pleased with the results.

That's great to hear 🙂 not a bad courtesy car at all!

Got pea e if mind you could get a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Alternatively give it another week to see how you get on.

He did lol gave me a v8 range rover as a courtesy car too

There's a lot of documented case of motorway chargers not working. If you bought it on finance it might be worth contacting the finance company about your issue.

Thanks for the update. I hope the dealer that sold you the car paid the bill?!

Has anyone had any charging issues where it doesn't work at motorway services? Because I have. I have an electric car which doesn't charge. Audi refuse to help and won't let me reject the car.

Ok. So audi recall was for airbag they also changed the inlet manifold and did a software update but as that was some months ago. They didn't say why and what it was for. Gonna try getting hold of a full vcds reader hoping that will have better chance in getting a code up than the garage.

This is the first you have mentioned of a software update at Audi. What equipment in particular was updated and why? Unless you give us the whole story we really can't help you.

So mechanical has been over and he is stumped battery ect is all good his advice was its software or electrical as his cpu is good but not perfect. It's recently had a software update at audi wen it went in for a recall. Could this be a problem?

Thanks Brian.

Hi all, after several trips to the dealer I brought the car from, he ended up taking it to audi ended up having a complete new steering wheel,paddles buttons control ring and cruise control switch, then all new bits coded to the car bill came to 3.9k including all the labour. Problem solved at last 👌

Good. Now please mark the appropriate topic as solved, together with a brief explanation of what was needed. https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/29170-cruise-control-not-working/#comment-118040

2020 Q5 55 TSFIe running for 3 days on petrol only & 0% battery (on holiday and no rechargers available). On start up 4th day got Drive System error warning message but proceeded with 45 mile journey. Car was generally OK by noticed it sluggish uphills and Power meter wouldn't go above 25-30% even in Sport mode. Also cruise control inoperable. Also Power Recuperating/Recovery meter didn't register when braking or decelerating (meter stayed at 0%). Noticed Charge level indicator was registering 50% halfway into trip and continued to rise until end of journey it was on 100%. On restarting car 4 hours later, it showed 100% Power Meter with 28 mile range (normal). Hybrid mode worked fine all the way home, power back to normal and Cruise Control working. Next day still all OK, no warning messages and 30% left in battery (Running mainly on Battery Save Mode). I understood Power Recuperating was only good for small %'age of battery reclaim during braking & deceleration so how is it possible I've recuperated 100% in 45 mile trip. NB - I've travelling 300+ miles since last mains recharge 6 days ago!!
