toller A

Hi peeps following Diagnostics Starter generator failure cost of replacement £3100ish 12 v battery ,replacement £665 Have put a complaint to Audi and reported this to DVSA This fault is is no joke someone will be seriously hurt or worse as a result I hope not !!!

Yes mine is the mild hybrid , just been transported to Audi dealer for diagnostics , will keep you posted AA relay hopped as the original recovery would not or were not allowed by to take me car and caravan the whole way , all of 96km from breakdown to home !

Morning all , Hitched up my caravan to Q7 last Thursday morning .Loaded dogs grand children and wife into car . All set for a weekend in Suffolk , While travelling along the A 12 the cruise control stopped working n, strange I thought , heard about electrical issues . Within minutes battery light comes up and message saying Battery Low will charge while driving , continue driving . Then all hell breaks loose , while negotiating a roundabout the gearbox disengaged !!!! Luckily I know the road well and knew there was a lay-by ahead Managed to roll to the lay-by just in time as the car locked top and the engine cut out . Called AA , after a 12 hour saga was recovered back to home , luckily my son was working close to where we broke down so was able to take take wife , children and dogs home early in the recovery saga . car registered 19/10/18 apparently outside an extended warranty applicable to Alternator issues . Given that my experience was a lucky one , it was in my opinion !Removed! dangerous the speed at which the failure occurred . I was not aware of any safety issues with car and if is surely the cars affected should be subject to a recall !! HELP
