On the AdBlue topic, you can get the no restart message flashed out of the ECU at a fraction of the cost of replacement parts. Give Andy at https://ecuflash.co a call. On the wider get rid or keep topic, I’ll never buy another Audi again. 16 plate B9 (actually B8.5 according to it’s car plate). Owned for 5ish years and I’ve put 50k on it. 80k in total. I’ve spent about 7k keeping it on the road, fixing issues that shouldn’t be there for a car this age and mileage. Not including “on-the-road costs” like tyres. -Had the brake servo/abs issue. -Had the AdBlue issue. -Odometer failed and had to be replaced. -2 broken rear coil springs. -Have the issue with low interior heat. -5 (yes five) new sets of front discs/pads due to excessive warping. -1 new calliper. I can go on, but suffice to say my experience of “Vorsprung durch Technik” is actually “our technology is crap”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatoutflatbroke Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I picked up my 2014 a6 avant 3 weeks ago, took it back 2 weeks ago as start stop, auto release handbrake and parking sensors were up the spout, on way home the adblue p20e8 fault popped up so I refilled it with just over 5L tried the reset which worked for about 30 seconds then got the same message pop up, but it also bought on the engine management light too. Apparently there's nothing wrong with it and I picked it up yesterday with them saying all the faults had been sorted to go back out an hour after getting home to have the 650m message pop up yet again. Also on a side note I was going through the menu's to find out how to change the clock time and found the engine oil level menu with it saying please reduce the level.... now just before I picked it up it Apparently had a service, should I just hand the car back as a lemon or should I persevere? I'm starting to get the feeling that I've been sold a dud car as it wasn't as described in the ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
