    Smacks of binding brakes to me - colouration (blueing) is a strong indication of this. They do not look that badly lipped but scoring is down to opinion. Mine is they are safe to roll on but if in warranty and low milage then Audi have a case to answer.

    I think a light on the dash would just raise more concern and questions with many Audi owners - there is a trade off between DPF maintenance and economy- I heard that keeping gas flow up is critical hence the more spirited driving. Note the higher tickover speed of the engine. I try and keep mine between 2 and 2.5k revs when I believe it is in regen mode - easier for me as 70% of my driving is on Motorways although I do also enjoy a spirited A road drive once in a while.
  3. Your pressure and level sensors are likely to be 4 - 20mA (Current flow) type. With both being affected it could be a common fault or coincidental that both detecting devices are faulty at the same time. If it is a common fault I would first look at the instrument cluster wiring checking contacts, cleaning them and refitting them. The fuel and temp gauges are probably on a common ground (Guessing as do not have schematic) and if the resistance is high on the ground then this is your issue. Good luck with your quest.

    Hi Matt - Diesels hate short runs but this should not be a problem as long as the regenerations are permitted to complete. Is yours an auto or manual gearbox? The reason i ask is that mine is auto and very seldom gets run past 2k revs short shifting for economy. When mine is doing a regen the only real indication I see is the engine ticking over, when the car is at rest, at 1k revs instead of 800. When I do notice this what I do is put the drive mode into sport so the revs are kept higher before shifting - increased engine revs = more heat and gas flow to assist with the regeneration process. If yours is a manual then just hold onto each gerar a little longer before shifting up. I used to worry about shutting the car down when parking up at a destination but the car seems to be able to cope with this and commences regens on the next journey. Yours may regen more often due to the shorter journeys.

    Hmm - gases - chambers - people.... no wonder the German Government is a little sensitive about it all
  6. Thatcham approval counts for a lot in the security industry - not a cheap option but neither is your motor... https://www.carnoisseur.com/products/details/disklok-steering-wheel-lock?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2d-17dP12AIVbbXtCh1KsAEwEAkYASABEgJmE_D_BwE
  7. Have you looked in the glove box?
  8. DPF regeneration. Should not start stop when it is active. You will notice that when the car is cleaning the DPF that the tickover speed is higher - mine sits at 1000 instead of 800 RPM.
