Hi guys. just trying see if there is anyone that may have come across this before, prior to having a thorough rummage. I have checked the forum and couldn’t see anything related, if I have missed it please point me in the right direction. basically on two occasions now, when I have been on full lock and the left front a has dropped of the kerb some oil must have spilled onto something hot and burned producing a white smoke that pours out of the near side wheel arch area near the back of the engine bay. it smells like it could be transmission fluid, which would point to the power steering pump or pipes at the back of the engine. I have also read that it could possibly some oil shifting from a collection tray onto the cat. it only happens when the car is jolted from the drop of a kerb. The rest of the time everything is all good. Any ideas at all? Much appreciated Jes

Well, as I said, I don’t know anything about them as I’ve never owned one but they love it. Very economical, and it seems to have plenty of grunt for such a small engine on the odd occasion I’ve driven it.

Hi they are always a pain as the water from the washer rots everything try a good soak in plusgas then use a deep socket, other than that its a new motor. Steve

Hi Gareth, On my request I did write BUILD RECORD. The Head of business picked up and dropped of the car, but he said he was busy, so left it with the Service Mgr. I also wrote that please ask the Parts Dept or Service team for this information. Next to that they wrote Vehicle Specification + Digital service history. Incidentally, they printed the correct service history (but I can get that from myAudi) but I've now noted that the Spec is not for this car!!

Been a while since I had my last Audi, but taken the plunge again. Based in Bournemouth and have bought an 07 A4 Cab 3.2 V6 S-line. Only 68k original miles. As a bit of a perfectionist, I know it’s gonna empty my pockets (excluding fuel)! Will apologise now for any stupid q’s and hope to help as much as I can too! cheers jes

My Audi A6 2008 has recently be showing up wipers defective whenever I turned the car on but would quickly go off and the wipers would work as normal this went on for about two months until they fineally stopped working altogether . After about two weeks of them not working altogether they came on randomly at one point and jammed themselves down under the bonnet of the car after this they have never came back on .. I have replaced the linkage , the motor (multiple motors) the wiper control module and the wiper arm stalk inside the car and still cannot get my wipers to work I plugged it into the computer and it’s not showing any problems . Every wire and relay possible has been checked .. It seems the wipers have put them into service mode and won’t take themselves out of it , I’ve tried manually resetting the wipers but she just puts herself back into service and won’t seem to come out . I’m at my wits end trying to figure this problem out if anyone has encountered anything like this it would be a great help if you could point me in the right direction

Hi, has anyone had an issue with getting this nut off?! Tried to swap the arm and this will not budge!

Good evening Phill. I liked a post, do you have a Facebook page so I can get information about the sound of my Audi from you?

My B8 2.0TDI auto is reluctant to move on a cold engine, either forwards or reverse. Requires a lot of revving. Is this a fault I have to live with or is there a cure? Incidentally Audi dealer never mentioned this after service.

This is the item I’ve purchased. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001894016181.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.4.74e0f19cckTq7v

My colleague has a fiesta with 40k miles. Engine just gone bang.

not presently. The parts are no. Refundable. you are looking at around £800 in parts and if you have parking sensors, camera and radar you will need to pay for calibration of which is around £600 but this may vary from dealer to dealer.

No I actually just went to my local mechanic. I'm not sure if I just got lucky but he's very trustworthy and reasonably priced. Based around Dalston in East London.

Ah ok. Cheers for that. Ok I will make that suggestion to my EV mechanic. Did you go to Audi for that one, and did you have to go to a high voltage specialist Audi garage (eg Watford?).

Hey. Mine actually isn't yet resolved. It's booked in to see Audi in a couple of weeks. (Quickest appointment I could get). I'm pretty confident mine is just a faulty sensor as the car drives perfectly and charges etc with no issues. The issue you have, I did also have though about a year ago. I think my mechanic said the hybrid actuator was broken (though don't quote me on this as I might be missing remembering). Worryingly he said when he opened it up, it fell apart in his hands. He had no idea what caused it. Overall it cost me about £700-800 to fix and has been fine since. I hope you get it sorted.

I’d heard of the powershift issues but little about any eco boost engines. my brother has a fiesta with the 3pot eco boost and they love it.

Too true, what would be worse is an eco boost with a powershift auto gearbox!

Recently bought an a4 avant, drives fine and no lights on dash. However start/stop doesn’t work and I’ve noticed when scanning it I get one code U010E lost communications with reductant control module, just wondering if this is normal with an adblue coded out?

How was your issue resolved? I have the same error message. Mine came after long drive in rain, then charging at lamppost. Charged stopped automatically 2/3 full rather than continue to 100% as usual, but car then showed error messages and wouldn’t start at all. Mobile EV mechanic has changed 12v battery which means car starts (but direct to Ice which is unusual) but error messages still there and car won’t actually go forward or back when D or R engaged - he says the EV system and ICe motor aren’t talking to each other properly. All these problems came after - for the first time ever - I got into the ‘red’ on both electric and petrol fuel gauges, although it was still saying 60 miles range left. I think I have exactly the same car as you - a 2015 e-tron. Mine is out of warranty so hoping it’s not the dreaded EV battery!
