Good Morning. Your range does seem rather low. The car weighs in at 2500kgs and with a 95kw battery I would expect more. My Etron GT has a 93kw battery and weighing 2300kgs I get a range of about 240-250. Not the 305 they advertise.

Hi Dean I had loads of trouble with my charger initially with it tripping out. The problem was over voltage. I was having voltage surges of up to 254v. Ohme reset the charger, I upgraded to 100amp main fuse. (the charger was drawing approx 30 amp on its own), made sure the anti surge system was OK and no more trouble. Tony

I notice that the Rotherhithe Tunnel under the Thames now has a 2 ton limit. So that is out of bounds now.

Hi Jeremy. I do wonder some times about my e-tron weighing in at 2500kg. The average weight of a car in 2001 was 1328kg it is now 1600kg according to the M of T. So, it is increasing quite rapidly. Tony

Further to my recent postings, I have just realised that AUDI is latin for "to Listen" Tony

It was good to talk to somebody who really wanted to help. We all spend a lot of money on these cars and support the marque though thick and thin. It was refreshing to know that there are people out there to help us. Tony

I have been having trouble with my Audi MMi log in. It was failing to recognise my pin numbers. Telephoned Audi help line and they answered straight away and solved the problem by changing my mobile phone into a camera so I could show them what was on the screen, and after a bit of button pressing problem solved. I was quite impressed as I am definitely "old school". Tony

Good Evening Steve. I have a E-Tron GT and my tyres seem OK. Albeit I haven't done too many miles yet. I was wondering as your GT is an RS could it be something to do with the air suspension? Tony
-
Hi Steve I am not sure that you are correct in saying that personal registrations aren't recognised. I have a personal plate on my e-tron GT and live inside the zone, but I have had no post yet. Tony

Hi Steve. Count me in, I will be going this year in my E-Tron GT Tony

A6 C7.5 Multiple Errors and No Start Condition
Anton8 replied to Bigdinner's topic in New Members Introductions
Hi Gareth Have you checked the battery. Could be a cell has gone down. Tony -
Hi Gareth The supply to the charger should be a dedicated circuit from your distribution board, so they could put a meter in but I doubt they would bother. More likely they would start to charge EV's with a road fund licence.
-
Problem now solved. UK Power sent an engineer out to me and checked the incoming voltage and it was within range. The charger draws nearly 30amp when on full charge so the main house fuse has been changed from 60amp to 100amp. also realised that the surge protection device had failed, so that has been replaced as well. So it seems it is not just a case of buying and plugging in an EV.

Hi. I realise this is not an Audi problem but I have an error with my home OHME charger. The vertical lights are flashing red and showing an error. Contacted OHME they say it is an overcharge problem. They sent me the incoming voltage record for my charger and it it running between 252 v and 238v and this is causing the error. I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem. My grid supplier says this is just with their range.

Hi Tony I had problems signing in on my E-Tron. I contacted the Audi help line who were extremely helpful. They even took over the MMi and reset the pin and got everything on line again. Big brother can be helpful sometimes. Tony

I think it is a bit OTT but it must be true as it was in The Daily Express. Ha Ha Ha Tony

Hi Gareth If the car park in question had ANPR I would think it wouldn't be a major step to get make, model, weight, flashed up on the screen for the jobs worth to issue the ticket. A.I. at it's best. Tony
-
Hi I seem to have read somewhere recently, it must have been it the paper. A guy up north somewhere parked his E-Tron in a car park, purchased a ticket for the correct amount, returned to his car within the allotted time and got a ticket for £60 for being over weight. It seems there was a weight limit of 1750kgs and the E Tron weighs in at 2300kgs. Just wondering if anybody else has come across this. Tony

Hi Tony Welcome to the club. Before I got my E-Tron GT I had a A6 and I had some goodies retro fitted by Autologics. They came to the house, very professional, quick and tidy. Have a look on their site. Tony
-
Hi The cockpit view on my GT remains as I set it. It doesn't default back to high view unless I change it. I have my regen set to manual so I use the flappy paddles to set it each time I start. Tony

Hi Gareth Just looked on The Electoral Register for Beckenham. The was a Hetty S Holloway living in somewhere Beckenham in 1965. Tony
-
Sorry Gareth only sped read it. I now see the connection with Beckenham. Tony
-
18 Overbury Avenue is a victorian house that has been converted into flats. Haven't got a clue about 1947-1965 I don't see the connection between Winterbourne Austin Sixteen and Beckenham. Tony

Thanks for your replies Gareth. I can make Cardiff on one charge, but, I would have to stop at Chieveley Services on the way back to recharge. So, when the GT needs cleaning again I'll pop over and leave it with you while I go to lunch if that is OK. Tony
-
Well thanks for that Gareth. I will talk to Audi and see what they suggest. I used to clean my A6 myself but now being over 80 if I get down to clean the wheels I may never get up again. On that note though, I had a job getting some sort of reasonable insurance for the GT. I suppose 80 year olds aren't supposed to have £90k GT's. I was quoted anything up to £4.5K per year with full NCB. I eventually got it for £1.2K with Esure. Does put you off a bit from owning the car of your dreams.
