Right guys just a heads up for anyone experiencing what I went through !! New starter motor fitted and problem gone starts better than ever even when hot🙏👍

Right ok thanks Steve will ask for this to be done 👍👍👍

Hi Steve, I had an earth strap fitted by an auto electrician and he said battery fine . if I don’t start it for a day or two it does do it then too so I’m confused. the Audi guys I use (not main dealer) have been ok with me so far and say it’s a case of process of elimination !!!

Hi Steve yeah already done no codes or anything

I know I have posted this a while ago but thought maybe someone since has had this problem? start car fine but if I drive quite far or get temp up to normal in the car. when I maybe pop in the garage or go shopping for anywhere from 1 to ten mins when I get back in it turns over and dies until k take the key out a few times then finally turns and starts. if it’s only a quick journey or I allow car to cool down it starts immediately so it’s definitely heat related. Does anyone know if anything on the starter motor can play up once hot? cheers guys

Feels like an age but at last New Gearbox valve body fitted and car drives superb!! Just a heads up ,anyone with an auto and gets juddering in gear changes then the valve body is a common problem on the 3.0 v6 thanks Karl

2 days to go till I get my car back with gearbox sorted and for the first time since buying can actually drive with confidence!! kid in candy shop comes to mind !😄😄😄

Sorry Dave I didn’t even ask answer your original question!! When I bought the car the MMI screen would come on and go off again. Straight away this was because the rear wiper pipe had come apart and put water on the boot which in turn blew The amp I fixed the leak that’s all dried out then the dealer has sent me to an audio specialist they spent about four hours on the car and they replaced I believe some components in it. Satnav works RadioWorks heating system works on the mmi screen just features missing so I think it’s about coding tbh !!

Thanks guys great info !!!

The leaks been fixed,Mmi has been fixed so I know that’s ok it’s just certain functions are missing off the screen I.e Bluetooth ,tpms,rear camera and adaptive suspension

Hi guys ,has anyone experienced this in the past? missing: parking camera Bluetooth tpms adaptive suspension thanks Karl

Lol yeah it was interesting Steve !!! I may have got the full amount if you were there😂!!

Best advice I could give is do as many checks as you can on the cars and if possible have someone you know mechanic savvy? but it’s always a risk second hand cars as I have found out myself!! best of luck mate

Second mate😄👍👍

Big shout out to Steve and Gareth for your words of wisdom . after a heated discussion for about an hour the dealer is going to pay for £1100 the new valve body and I’m gonna put in £250 not a100 % perfect outcome but it is what it is and I just want to confidently drive my audi without worry. thanks again guys 👍👌🏼
