We mentioned this in a couple of other threads. There are so many chips in modern cars and you can't build without having them all. A lot of sensors (steering, abs) use older silicon technology and that is where volumes are most restricted. With EVs it will be a even worse - and of course you have to factor in finding a charging point and hoping for reliable electricity supply from windmills and solar panels.... 😁

Thanks Steve 👍 Looks like it's a feature! It just sounds awful. I'll blip the throttle to recover if I don't want to listen to it.

Hi, I've had my 2l TFSi for a month or so now and the gearbox generally responds well and chooses the "right" gears. I've started visiting my work office once a week and although most of the drive is motorway / A roads the last mile or so is down a reasonably steep hill. I've noticed that the auto gearbox seems to select a very low gear for this hill (2nd or 3rd) but it doesn't seem to compensate for the speed that I'm actually doing (maybe up to 30/35 mph) and so I get this very laboured high revs and to be honest it doesn't sound healthy. I don't have hill assisit or hold on and the simplest thing to do is to switch to manual and change gear (or slow down!) but it is a bit annoying. I've previously travelled down this same hill in a 3l diesel and never had the issue - but that is a lower revving engine and it was an 8 speed auto gearbox. It's not a showstopper but just wondered if anyone can offer any input as to why this might be happening. On my VW I could reset the gearbox with ignition on and foot flat down on accelerator for 10 seconds - but I don't think that would solve this.

I pm'd him with a couple of links and suggested using translate for German sites. Looks like there are a few options out there 👍

I see the problem now - so it looks like a number plate holder. I've not seen one like that before - if the lugs are plastic then you can't bend them (like the back of a picture frame). So I guess you need to know if the holder is screwed or stuck to the bumper? I'd try using a magnet to see if there are any screws present If not, then assume it's stuck on, if so then try to bend a lug at either end and slide the plate out sideways ....

Have you got a picture of the problem?

If you Google something like "double din car stereo for Audi" - you'll find a huge range of aftermarket units supporting Android an dapple type interfaces.
