My buddy has a 10k mile 2023 Q8 and the lane guidance won't turn off. He asked me to help as he's not that internet savvy and I looked up where the button at the end of the turn signal bar turns this function on and off. When I'm driving his car I hit the button and a box pops up on the screen that says 'Adaptive cruise assist: without lane guidance' and the lane guidance stays on turning the wheel when I change lanes. I hit the button again and it says 'Adaptive cruise assist: with lane guidance' and just as it says the lane guidance is on and jerks the wheel when I change lanes. It's always on no matter what the screen says. Am I doing something wrong, or does the dealer need to address this? Thanks, Brad

No probs at all please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Haha 😂 Im clearly a dipstick with this auto correct error! 😆

Hi, I'm from Teesside. I scrapped a 1995 2.6 Coupe some years ago and still have some parts if you're interested.

Hi Dave I have the exact same car but 2006 I’m having this same issue did you find out which oil thanks Liam

Let us know how you get on with your enquiry Alex.

Wonder what the cause of the issue was with Chris’ car after?

Hi Steve yes indeed lipsticks are available on eBay my daughter buys them a lot. Steve.

I will check after work tomorrow thanks for the advice

This might help:

I wonder if something has jammed it from the inside. If you look under the glovebox can you gain access to the hinge screws?

Keep us posted 🙂

I don't think you can. See if you can source one on eBay but I don't think do lipsticks are available

Audi uk have also extended the warranty to 7 years from date of registration so do not let your dealer fob you off.

Hello My Q8 diesel MHEV shut down on me after a blizzard of warning lights. I disengaged drive and engine stopped therefore no pwr steering. It's with Audi Amersham and I'm expecting it is the alternator as it would start off a jump battery, but stopped immediately it was disconnected. I've seen that this is a 'known problem' and Audi USA have extended the warranty on this item. I'm waiting for the technicians to confirm it is the Alternator. I've not discussed with the Service department what I have just discovered online and let's see if they try and hit me with a massive bill?

Having replaced one before due to a damaged head, I grabbed some from the rack where I was working at the time. I think they are M6x12 You can buy them from eBay for a few ££ if no where local has them.

Ok thanks. No, I'm aware it's best to check the pads and discs as well.

Did you try that jordanxuk?As I'm in the same dilemma.😔

Hi Ryan, did you resolve this issue after? thanks

Will keep you posted as mine is still at the early stages of reset and adaption too ........ it may well glitch out on me as yet !

I need to replace both left side upper dash AC vents. Don’t know how to get them out. Help plz?

Hello Alex. I believe so. If you enter your registration number into on-line factor sites such as Parts in Motion, GSF etc. and search ‘ bake pad warning sensor’ then you should get confirmation via. the part being listed. Are you depending on such sensors to alert you to the need to renew the pads Alex? If so, not good practice. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hello Bruno, Apologies, I don’t know if it is possible to modify the oil suction pipe to take a conventional dipstick, but hopefully someone will come along on here to help you with this. Re. Oil consumption:- I can see your Q5 is 2023, and so it can be expected that it’s early oil consumption will be higher than it will be when it has some mileage under its belt. To give you a better idea, we would need to know what mileage the vehicle has now covered, how much oil has it consumed during that mileage - assuming it hasn’t yet had its first oil change. Perhaps you can comeback to us on these points. Kind regards, Gareth.

Yup - that is a constant thread when the LED discussions come up; some cars don't "mind" them. I will start with the ONB 200 and report back.

Hi Q5 has any one purchased a oil dipstick ? 60k and have to buy oil dipstick to check manually yes can be done via mmi but there nothing like being able to carry out physicaL Any idea on the actual oil consumption per 1000 miles ? THANKS
