Thank you for your help looking like I'll have to risk it car is mint condition never know it's done that mileage is only 1500 pounds has full service book stamps cheers ian

mostly cost related. i've had a bump and can get halogen replacements a lot cheaper.

Bare in mind the 2.0tfsi is known for oil consumption issues and wrecking the engine. Full service history is key as well as proof of any major work carried out.

You'll need it all coding and wiring will be different as xenon headlights have additional modules and ballast etc. Why do you want to fit halogen lights?

Definitely. It's not good.

Last night I posted a couple of replies on Andrew Doyle's LinkedIn profile, responding to comments congratulating him and his team on the release of a new etron model. I last had contact from Audi Executive on 23 April 2024 apologising for the delay in responding appropriately, due to a big backlog. I was told to expect an update within 2 days......7 May, I have still heard nothing. I have suggested Audi attend to their existing customers who are unwittingly driving dangerous, unreliable vehicles, before focusing their efforts on expanding their range. Less lucrative for sure, but essential and absolutely the responsible thing to do. My car has been repaired under the 7 year extended warranty but since it's return has numerous intermittent faults, all very unnerving. In all my years of driving I have never worried about driving, sadly my A6 has ruined that. The dealership performed a software update due to a P button fault. The technician advised that although the light was intermittent if I had continued driving the auto gearbox would soon have jammed as it was 'confused' about which gear was actually selected. My car is now jumping on occasion into M1 and back again, only response has been more unacceptable head scratching. The full gauge will at times return to full while I am driving and the range will increase without a visit to the fuel station, if only! I believe my car to be dangerous and unreliable, certainly not what I would havd chosen to invest my money in. I plan to start politely messaging them through social media platforms and I will also apply to 5he consumer rights programme RIp Off Britain, in the hope that if we can gain their support, Audi may be more inclined to take this seriously. I am now into the fifth month and my patience is wearing thin.

Hi, Is it possible to refit a pair of non xenons to a car previously fitted with xenons without modification? ie is the wiring the same? i know you need to modify when going the other way.

Sorry Shak, I’m failing to link lack of stop/start with water pump and cambelt. Kind regards, Gareth.

I’ve had some contact from Audi uk now following my letter to Andrew Doyle. It’s not overly satisfactory as they seem just just be positioning themselves to blame the dealer and the factory. Keen to reiterate that technical info should come from the dealership as they(Audi uk) aren’t technically trained. I obviously said the dealership don’t have the details I need. They then said they would have to contact the factory but that that information might not be revealed to me…..they wouldn’t acknowledge there had been any other failures, any reference to issues in the USA or any issues to other models. They did ask me what my expectations were !!!! They said they would be back to me by 13th may. I feel a letter to Germany coming next. My car is fixed now and back on the road although I now have a brake warning light but I need new pads so it’s nothing too scary other than the price !

Thanks for the reply. It’s no big deal really, just a cosmetic thing as much as anything. A Q7 without matrix headlights is a bit more of an issue though.

I'm thinking of buying a 2009 tfsi with 175 thousand miles on it mint condition just is it too risky

High mileage a5 2.tfsi

Running it with barely any oil will more than likely knackered it. Have you checked for leaks? As it shouldn't be low unless there's a leak.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's not done with it. A lot of Audi's have been arriving without correct specs since COVID claiming issues with supplies, chip shortages etc. Q7s have been coming without matrix headlights too.

Very nice 👍

Very nice 👍

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. The carpets haven't got wet at all have they? I ask as the comfort control module sits under the passenger footwells and controls windows etc. When it gets wet it can become damaged.

The only thing I can think of is that the cars had a replacement head unit at some point

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

Greetings, I got check engine light and code: U04A400 - Invalid data received from PM sensor Has anybody have any experience with this kind of code? Tried also googling it, but there isn't much information about it. It seems to indicate particulate matter sensor fault but tried replacing one (4K0906261) and there was no effect. Even unplugging the sensor didn't change anything on live data related to particulate sensor.

Hi, Appolgise for the very late reply have you managed to sort out the problem with you car? I had mine sorted out it was just the water pump an cambelt in the end just Audi gave me the run around

Hey, does anyone know what the standard coding is for a 2013 RS3 8P MMI nav head unit should be? It flagged up as incorrectly coded on OBDEleven and bugging me
