Hi get it plugged in for codes it may well come up with brake servo restricted thats an easy job there's a massive thread about it on here, you will probably be able to get home with it but any distance could be disasterous as when it fails completely you have a solid pedal but no effective braking.

DamianS3 · 1 hour ago1 hr

Hi. I drive an S3 2021 Hatch Sportback. My car came from new with Rear parking sensors that Beep - But no Front Parking Sensors. I have been looking around for someone to fit Front parking sensors and a Rear Reversing Camera to my S3.

AIC say they use Genuine Audi Parts and can fit them to my car (8Y 2021) and can fit them and set my car up a

Ian R Brown29 · May 12May 12

Hi all, I have a 2020 A3 tfsi e and when I charge the car overnight I try to make sure all the timers are off so the car charges immediately. However sometimes in the morning the car has not charged because the timers have turned the charge off during the night which is very frustrating. Has anyone else had anything similar

One-touch window failure

Stavros · May 29May 29

Hi there - i checked through all the pages related to A5 but didn't see anything on this topic on issues with the one-touch open/close function. I have an Audi A5 Cab B9/F5 40 TFSI S line (pre-facelift) and on the cabriolets, you have 4 switches, one for each window, plus a 5th master which does all the windows at the same time. Each switch has the one-touch operation. The rear window switches and the 5th master switch work up/down with one touch no problems. Problem I have: The front window

Are S5's notorious for not being serviced?

ZeroX · May 30May 30

Hi, following on from my previous thread, I have seen another car that I was interested in: https://www.evanshalshaw.com/search/details/used/audi/a5/automatic-petrol-white-coupe/06ce9494-f94d-f111-8fdd-000d3a874790/ When I enquired with the dealer, they said there is only one stamp in the book from February of this year, and no history at all in the Audi database. So there is only evidence of 1 service in almost 10 years. I am starting to get a bit !Removed! off with this actually, and it's real

I've been seeing more and more posts across FB and multiple forums about people having the alternator failure related to the 48v mild hybrid system and wanted to see if anyone has had this issue and how their experience has been. I know in USA they have announced a TSB with an extended warranty for 7 years but I am trying to get more info from Audi UK but not getting anywhere. Has anyone had this issue and if so has Audi fixed it (if out of warranty)? It seems to be tha
