Have we got many members from Scotland and is there many meets going on

That’s crazy! And surely very dangerous! I’ve since been to Audi and you need to toggle off 2 bits to deactivate.

Welcome Raymond, and thanks for joining. Where are you searching? - possibly Autodoc or similar by mention of Ridex? ECP? It could be me, but I find their prices are seldom competitive, and very often, simply daftly high. I would suggest Bosch. Would probably be worthwhile searching Parts in Motion website. I don’t have any connection, except having benefited from very reasonable prices and a great service from them. Please let us know how you get on. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hi as you say it can be deactivated there are a couple of videos on YouTube already but nothing about permanently disabling the system, the full system is law in Europe where as Steve Q said it actually cuts your speed down for you but there are reports of drivers on motorways quite happily. cruising along at 65mph and the camera spots a 30mph sign on a parallel road and promptly reduces your speed to 30mph, this is the same as collision pre sense, my mate has an Alfa Giulia which is a lovely car in daylight but of a night if it spots a lampost on a badly lit lane it just slams on the brakes. Steve.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. As well as getting the battery checked depending how old it is.

Hi I think in the long run fixing your current issues with the Golf will work out a whole lot cheaper than going out and actually buying a whole load of new problems with a Q7, people get rid of this model for a reason. Steve.

Just to update. appears lubrication with the spray has solved this.

thank you all

That could be the reason. My advice would be to speak to retrofitters such as autologics or Audi retrofits.

I work on lots of different manufacturers so can’t say for sure about your exact model but the diverter valve is a common failing and usually the diaphragm inside it that fails and they throw fault codes typically to do with low boost or map/mad out of correlation, worth removing and doing a visual inspection
