Greetings all from Kent UK. I'm an old buffer with an early 2017 A6. Not a clue about cars. Just driving around with my dotage approaching. Nice to be here though

MMI Screen works, but won't go up

TheTallBloke · 2 hours ago2 hr

The MMI screen in my 2017 A3 (8V??) won't go up anymore. For a while it's been making a weird noise sometimes when the car starts and the screen is moving up as the system starts up. It seemed to be a mechanical noise, like something was rubbing against something, or a gear with grinding, but it was really hard to pinpoint. Also, not my daily driver, so I often forgot that it happened. Now the screen comes on, but doesn't rise out of the dash. I was able to remove it from the dash and see th

Heated Front Seat Issue - Anyone Dismantled Their Seat

steamship · 15 hours ago15 hr

I'm trying to resolve an issue with the drivers seat not heating. I have error code 01854 after scanning with VCDS. Has anyone had their seat apart to try and resolve this, which I assume is a broken wire in the heating mat? I'm currently going through the wiring diagram, but having an issue finding one of the connectors. The one in question is T8c, an 8-pin connector under the drivers seat, which I can't find. I can find the 2-pin T2aa and the 6-pin T6e one, but can't check for continuity as I

Q3 Timing Belt

Iceman44 · 23 hours ago23 hr

Hi, I'm Pat and I own a Q3 - I have joined today. What is the required period for replacement of the timing belt. In the last 6 months I have become aware of belt failures in Ford Escorts, Volvo XC60 and an Audi A3. I have spoken with many people and been given ranges from 40k to 186k. Being totally confused, I went into my local Audi Dealer (Farnborough) to get a definitive answer. Having explained my confusion to the representative there, I was shown a document entitled Service Related Items

Hi, advice needed

Dave Chappo · yesterday at 07:43 AM1 day

I have a green Audi A4 T reg, which has been in my garage for a couple of years. A couple of things need attention like the drivers seat spring, exhaust is rattling a bit and the odd scratch outside. I disconnected the battery when I put in the garage and now all it is doing is collecting dust. I am reluctant to sell because it has been used as a family car until grandchildren came along and because it has no isofix for child seats, we had to SORN it. I would be grateful for any advice of where

Hi All I have a Q5 Audi TFSI 2018 Petrol with around 72,000 miles on it. I bought it 4 years ago from an Audi main dealer in Epsom. Its has a full Audi service history. I requested a printout recently and its had 4 oil changes since new plus all other replacements you would expect. In June I was travelling up the A303 at around 80 mph and suddenly all the engine lights came on and I could hear a ticking noise coming from the engine. I pulled over maybe a mile later called AA and he took a look a

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have an audi a4 b9 avant 2.0tdi s line. I have had a brake servo restricted please return to workshop message appear on dashboard along with start stop not working please return to workshop. This has been intermittent over last week. When the messages appear the brakes feel funny. I don't think it is an actual brake servo fault as I have done the brake pump test. Possible sensor issue? Bit strange for a car less than 2 year old with low miles. Any i

Hi, We have an A8 2004 6.0L Saloon OV54 CXE and I have been asked to purchase 2 x headlamp units and rear inner/outer tail light units. The problem I have is that the customer doesn't want a like for like replacements but wants to update them with a later design. I'm not sure that this is possible but any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks, Gareth

MikeB4 · Thursday at 08:47 AM2 days

Is anybody having trouble charging with Octopus Go. I have been trying for 2 weeks to get my A3 to charge without success. I have at octopus's suggestion fitted a new 12v Battery (new battery was coded to the car) and that night full charge was successful. Since then small amount of charge or nothing. I have switched off the car timers as Octopus suggest to no avail. Interestingly after a failed charge one of the timers has changed to a random date in the future. Communication with the car does

Hey My 04' 3.2 A3 decided to shed it's clutches in the DSG, 113k miles or so done well for 3 years. I decided to call it a day, I spent enough time and money on it. I have replaced it with a 2008 SE 3.0tdi, what difference, so much better than the 16plate Passat I had to scrap, and about 50bsteps better than the A3, Had a few issues but that's why I managed to get it so cheap. I know but cheap buy twice but this isn't the case. I do have a couple of issues that need resolved First is the r

Having had an S4 Avant 10 years from new (B8), I was waiting for Audi to get over its diesel S4 period, so welcomed the launch of the new S5 Avant. I found a dealer willing to sell me one of the first available cars (they had one more arriving than they were required to hold by Audi for showroom/demo) - and took delivery in November '24. If I had just placed an order for one I was told it would be delivered in April/May '25. It is the fully loaded ‘Launch Edition’. I have now done 4,500
