Hello everyone, I thought I’ll share something here with people that might experience same problem as I did. Recently I’ve got a message on my MMI saying I have to enter my user login details again for some reason and I was not been able to do that. Every time I was putting in my email address and password, a message would come, saying: You could not be logged in at this moment, try again later. Or something like that. I’ve tried everything, log out from My Audi app, log back in, clear catch on my storage for Audi app, delete the Audi app, add new user, remove user key, literally everything I thought would help. Nothing worked, and I was driving my car under guest user for a while until today when I had enough of it and sat down again and started from the beginning, determined to crack this issue and I succeeded. What I did was: 1. Delete the app on the IPhone. 2. Reinstall the app back on the phone. 3. Reset the password via forgot my password after you type in your username. 4.. Remove the vehicle on My Audi app and add the vehicle back in, remember you need the vehicle identification code to do this. follow the steps from the app to add your car. 5.Factory reset your MMI or reboot to normal mode, you know, two fingers on RH on top of the screen. 6. When reset has been successful, log in with select user, or add new user, login in using your username and the password which you have reset earlier. This is what I did and it helped me to login and my Audi app is working normal too. I hope this will help other people with the same issue I had. all the best

Hi Gareth, Apologies for the longish break from comms but life etc got in the way. The Jaguar(s): 2 x Series 3 V12 Sovereigns...one 1985 and the other 1988. 1988 is undergoing one of those ongoing renovations we all get into eventually that is turning into a long job. Hence just acquired the 1985 as a "light restoration" (to quote the advert) with a severe misfire to get back into "Jaguars on the road" a bit sooner. Meantime back to my friend's Audi TT. We got nowhere with the request to DVLA for info. Apparently wanting to rebuild your car's history isn't a good enough reason anymore. When he can he's still driving it around and it's running well (so it pains him to know he will be selling it soon). We're now back on ironing out remaining problems and one of which is it has a bad habit of flattening its battery if left standing for a couple of days. Some background: We have measured the parasitic current drain with the car standing idle and it is around 0.7 Amps continuous. That 0.7 Amp is flowing down the first red wire (the one next to the black wire) running from the battery distribution buss bar. On locking the car with the plip the alarm sequence does not complete: the doors lock but the sidelights do not flash and the red LED lights in the doors do not become active. We have discovered that some previous owner has removed the alarm sounder. The instrument display shows the bootlid as continuously open, even though it is locked. Could that be why the alarm cannot complete its cycle and hence the electrics never go "quiescent" so the heavy parasitic drain remains to draw down the battery? We have checked out the bootlock microswitch after spending an inordinate amount of time trying to find it and its associated cable. Thanks Audi for a superb way of hiding the switch behind the lock and between it and the car body plus making test access to it almost impossible without demounting the lock first. The microswitch changes state when the locking solenoid is operated. This produces no change on the instrument panel, it still shows bootlid open all the time. Removing the cable so the switch is effectively open circuit produces no change in the display. Linking together the pins on the cable end , so it thinks the switch is closed, produces no change in the display! We are now into unknown territory as it looks like the cable is defective somewhere between the end we can see and wherever it goes. Does anyone have any info on the routing of this cable and where it ends up? This flattening the battery problem is giving my friend a lot of grief (something he doesn't need right now) and spoiling an otherwise nice car. Can anyone offer any help/ideas?
