Hi MiguelP, I would state to the dealer that it must be rectified before your extended warranty expires. Mine must have been an electrical ‘glitch’ because the only thing Audi Oldham did was to plug it into the diagnostic. Hope you get it resolved. Regards, Andrew

Hi all. Really sorry I forgot to post. This is how it went with Audi, Oldham. The technician told me that the diagnostic found no faults and that the issue was that I had deselected intelligent coasting in the MMI. He told me that he activated it again, drove up and down the motorway, and all is well. So…when I went to collect the car, and although I told him that the intelligent coasting mode had been switched off since new, he was adamant that this is what the issue was. Anyway, since being plugged in the diagnostic, and intelligent coasting off again, it’s back to normal !? I think a reset of the ‘brain’ of the car must have been done, but I wasn’t told that. in conclusion, when the electric charge is depleted, it shuts off the petrol engine into regen electric just as it should. The complete opposite to the issue I had, which was that the car never shut off the petrol engine, and instead decided to charge the battery, which resulted in sub 20 mpg for two weeks of driving. Again, sorry for this very late post and that I can’t be more helpful. Andrew

Thanks, Steve, I’m hopeful that they do find a fault when they plug it in, as there are no fault messages in the MMI, which I find strange. I’ll update post following Monday’s visit to Audi.

Hi. I’m new to the forum and wondered if anybody has had the same issue. It’s a 23 build year and recently, when in intelligent mode, the car doesn’t shut off the petrol engine, which is resulting in sub 20mpg. It’s intermittent but for sure, it’s definitely not right. It’s booked in with Audi in a few days. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
