Could be a crank sensor?

Hi Steve.

Yes I understand .

I did have to replace a pair on a Camry I had I just traded it in

last week for the A5.

I had it from new in 1996 till last week lol  127k on it.

They seemed to be ok .

The A5 is still very new to me.

I wish it had a handbrake lol,

I think its best I take a damper off and see it its tired.

Nice to have this place to help me out.

I am for sure a Newbie with the A5

Take care thanks for the assistance

Cleared the blocked drain on fuel cap with bit of garden strimmer line worked perfectly.

I just re-read and saw you were going to rebuild. Good I'm glad!

Damn had realised you had factory fitted xenon's on your narrow body. Would have bought them and the headlight washer system to go with it.

If you could find out that'd be great Kev, thank you. 

No probs at all 

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. But you will probably find the buttons have failed. It's a complete unit which can be removed from the steering wheel and replaced

Hi Steve.

Thanks for the reply.

The existing ones seem to hold the long boot up once its

part lifted manually.

I just got this A5 on friday. its a 15 plate with 50k on the clock.

mint condition.

Reading all the problems quoted on here I am getting nervous. lol.

If I replace them I may go for the spring loaded in any case .

I will keep the forum up to date as I go

If it's the spring loaded ones I'm thinking of that give auto boot opening function be careful. Quality can be questionable. I've seen cases on the A6 c5 groups of them failing inside 3 months.

I have a 2016 3litre TDI sport.my nav system is not not working MMI says not enabled when I press the nav button.I have tried the system reboot and the nav initialises then goes on to the data not enabled message.

any suggestions would be most appreciated.

It definitely depends on the miles you do. If you're regularly going into ulez areas then I'd avoid diesel as that's what the tyrannical government want to do away with first. 

Please keep us posted on how you get on. It's really poor service 

Very unusual for an estate car not to come with one. I'd recommend you speak to Audi. But I suspect the dealer is having you on. 

I'd agree with you that it's the control arm bush. Very common to fail on VAG cars. 

For clarity you could always take it back to the MOT test station to confirm our suspicions

Hi!

I have the same problem with the button.

Do you have the ZDC file ?

I don't unfortunately

I had the same issue yesterday. Audi a4 2017 23000 miles, driven regularly. Happened after not using the car for 3 days. 

Thanks a lot for all your contributions in this thread! 

Glad it's helped 🙂

Definitely consider the maf or lambda sensor. looking for cracks in the pipes is good too, especially around connectors. 

The scammers aren't good. Please could you notify me which ones so I can block them. Please report them on FB. 

I'd definitely get the engine mounts checked and wheel bearing looked at. Don't forget to consider the gearbox mount. Or what about a driveshaft? 

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 

My advice is to speak to the dealer selling it. It won't have been for an MOT yet so there won't be anything on the system.

Hi Steve

I've sent a few messages to this thread, offering the engine from an A6 (AKE) Is this any good? Engine will be £500 minus the fuel pump. I read that you needed a new engine for yours?

Hi Rich, 

Apologies I'd missed your post. Thank you for the offer. I think at this stage I'm going to look at getting mine rebuilt hopefully. 

I saw your a6 on Facebook. Shane the gearbox has gone looks in good shape. Steering wheel is nice.

P.S.  I’ve now sold my RS4 and replaced it with an RS6 Avant.  How can I get this changed in my shown details ?

Cheers.
