Hi Atif, welcome to AOC! 

What are you currently driving?

Hi Peter, generally I think it will depend on the weight you're towing and the distance.

For example, if you were just towing a small garden trailer then I wouldn't worry about it. With your caravan, it will probably depend on the weight of it.

I assume you don't have any warranty to worry about so it will likely just be down to you as to whether you want to risk it or not.

Not sure on pricing but GermanTech are near you I believe:

all sorted. Simple bulbs change

 

Love it when you get a nice and simple result! 

Some good pointers on Ross Tech under special notes for your year:

http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/01826

Looks like 01826 will likely be the steering column control module.

It might not even need coding, but I believe there is a module in each door that you need, plus of course you will need the new mirror switch. It can definitely be done though!

I will try James but don't think its loud enough to pick up.... Its getting slightly louder by the day I would put it straight into garage but need car for work so catch twenty two... Trying to find a good reputable garage that opens on a Saturday is !Removed! neigh impossible !!!

I'm Pretty sure its a calliper as tonight when pulling into my drive on full lock I heard a grinding noise like the brakes locking on or catching on something plus I'm now getting slight vibration in steering wheel on my commute to work.

Give it a try you never know!

First world problems hey 

In answer to your question though, yes there are plenty of adapters available like this one:

That was just the first one I clicked on, but shop around and there are loads out there.

Still waiting for her to be ready :( On Friday I was told Monday, on Monday I was told today and today I have been told tomorrow.

Now I'm starting to worry about t he size of the bill too.

Hopefully they've just been snowed under and it won't affect the size of your bill! 

Chris, you may find Milltek offer a resonated or non resonated option which does indeed alter the volume a little, if they offer it for your car...

Hi Andrew, I assume you are looking for the OEM Audi version rather than an aftermarket option? I only ask as there are some pretty good aftermarket options these days.

In essence that's about right but it's usually not that easy lol

Some good info on TPMS here:

Sorry for long pause have changed my email address and so was not getting msg's 

I have not fixed it as yet …. warmer weather means it's not so bad …. But is getting worse.

I am beginning  to think it might be to do with the steering lock solenoid because when parked with the steering out of straight it is very much worse. (The thought being the lock does not retract so well and when cold the lubrication or lack of it )

Turning the ignition on and off does not solve this….. BUT if I take the key out and back in bingo it works

Does anyone know if there a connection made when the steering lock releases ???? i.e. some form of continuity from the solenoid

Kind regards

Jez

 

Sorry to hear you haven't fixed it Jez - must be a paint. At least you have found a bit of a workaround in the mean time though!

Thanks for the pointers.  I'm now torn between a TFSi and a TDi!  Too much choice out there,....

TFSI for me all day long, but then again I'm a petrol head! What king of mileage will you be doing?

Nice, I bet you miss the cabriolet at this time of year?

Hi Matt,

Do you have the 3G MMI?

Can come in through the pollen filter if not sealed correctly - worth a look?

Hi Tony,

Does the MMI controller work with any other function or is it just playing up with the map?

FYI, the dealer is legally liable for any fault present at the time of sale for 6 months from purchase.

Hi Magnet, give this a try:

Any chance of a video? Not sure if it will be audible?

Hi Brian,

Sorry to hear about this. Do you have any more details as to what it could be apart the warning light? Could be something as simple as a sensor?

Although it doesn't sound good I wouldn't write it off yet.

Is it a DSG box?

After a couple of false starts the sat nav is now permanently wired to a key switched circuit. Thanks for the tip James about piggy back fuse taps. An added benefit to the job is having less than a foot of wire on show above the dash, so it looks far tidier.

Glad you managed to sort it - the fuse taps are pretty useful for all sorts of things!
