If you have to open the system for flushing, it might be worth replacing the reservoir as a precaution. Chinese replacements are only £25.

Not all affected expansion tanks are marked "mit silica". Can you see any remnants of a bag in the tank?

Please let us know the outcome. PS If a new battery is needed ensure you get it coded to the car.

Thanks Al. The important one is the cranking voltage which seems to be OK, nevertheless I suggest you get the battery tested professionally tested to be certain, because a dying battery can lead to false warnings. If that proves to be fine a scan by a decent code reader should help locate the fault.

Please be specific about the readings you obtained. How old is the battery?

From what I have read on this forum the level sensors are prone to failure, which might explain why different corners are dropping at random.

I can easily believe the defect came about because of scrimping or negligence during development and testing. At one time I would not then have believed there could be a VAG conspiracy to cover it up, but since Dieselgate it seems anything is possible from such a despicable company.

That's about the size of it, and note that it will be expensive. There is the alternative of deletion but that comes with its own problems.

Logan. To save regurgitating information that has been repeated many many times, search forum history on the matter of Adblue.

If you have any doubts about the battery get it tested professionally, because a dying battery can lead to a variety of transient unrelated faults.

It's worth hosing the underside and suspension in winter to remove the salt each time you wash the topside. Salt corrodes aluminium faster than steel.

No words, no answers.

I doubt you will find new parts anywhere, so your best bet is secondhand. Try Ebay and breakers yards, many of which are online nowadays.

Stephan. I have merged your three identical topics. Please do not post duplicate or triplicate topics so that the responses can be kept tidy and co-ordinated.

Thanks Richard.

That's not something I have heard of. Would you care to provide some links for the modifications?

That has the makings of a very expensive repair. If you bought the car in the last 30 days, take it back to the dealer and let him bear the cost.

If you mean do they they change from dip left to dip right the answer is no. Whether there is an alternative to beam deflectors I do not know.

Can you not find one? A thirty second internet search revealed dozens and dozens of places to buy one at little cost.

That's good news John. New bulbs and clear lenses are often the cheapest and certainly the simplest solution to poor light output.
