A couple for me. Need to get the cambelt and water pump done (boring!). Also planning on getting a 170 turbo and having it remapped again from 180 - 220 ish and considering getting an RS4 style grill to replace the S Line one. would love some new wheels, but doubt i'll have the cash

Love the wheels! :D and the colour of the car!

that does sound like a lot of ad blue. i'd be suspect of an issue potentially causing the DPF to fill quicker than it should.

Welcome to the forums, looks like Trevor has you covered!

anyone else got anything planned for their Audi this year?

That's better !

Rain! I've completely hacked off with this persistent rain, apparently we're in for at least two weeks of it

im not sure what is required is in there as i took a look myself? your situation sounds like mine. my car has bluetooth which i can connect my phone to to make calls from. it doesnt however have the media interface, which i believe is another module in order to control the music app on my phone. i have to use the aux input. i believe you have to buy a module, a new bluetooth receiver, plug it all in and get it coded. but i havent looked into it properly yet!

As Trevor has said sound's like a very good car overall ;)

My experience with ad blue systems is limited. It helps get to temp without dumping extra diesel into the engine. So, oil contamination might not be such a problem for you. If your manual states you can do it stationary then carry on. You don't have a problem really until the light comes on but don't forget the dpf system inherently causes lower mpg in favour of lower emissions. A bit like the EGR valves, reduces NOx but creates more soot, dpf introduced to reduce soot. Both cause lower mpg. The mind boggles. When you get t serviced they can plug the computer in and let you know how full the dpf is and the status of the recent regenerations and whether or not it has been succesful.

Tanks for of biodiesel now coming at roughly 25ppl. 400 miles down so far and hopefully many to go! Power doesnt seem affected at all although mpg has dropped but this but this is to be expected. Only other difference is the sweet smell from the exhaust 😂

Fixed it. There's a setting on car settings that I've changed and the boot release now works!

Hello Trevor and Magnet, Thank you both very much for your replies I have replaced both batteries and tried various reprogramming techniques to no avial. My view is that a new key was ordered and the car was reprogrammed to the new key (the one I have that works) leaving the other remotes programmed to the way the car used to be. I would be interested in finding out whether there are different reprogramming methods, maybe one that allows you to reprogram the car to a certain key. Any other sugggestions? Thanks for all your help - Tom

They really need to stop calling it emissions tests as they cannot hide behind being good for the environment anymore!

Its exactly like you've said. The current plan just isn't sustainable for them as a revenue stream with the new cars being either free or such low cost tax per year. So they're doing this to keep getting the money in.
