    ECU

    Also I must add you'll probably be looking £1000 for a new ECU.
  2. Don't think the door card has to come off. Does it not just unclip out of the handle?

    Hey Louise you've found me. My advice would be to Google ECU repairers in your area. You could always try local independent Audi specialists or auto electricans. Alternatively speak to Audi as they might still stock them new. Also bare in mind if you source a second hand unit then it'll need to be coded to the car.
  4. Sorry to hear that mate. Cost of living is ridiculous at the minute. Even more annoying that it's deliberately created by the powers that be to make us minions lives harder.
  5. How odd. Sure it could be retrofitted if it was a must have.
  6. How long are you intending to keep the car for? What kind of mileage do you do? What trim levels are both cars?
  7. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂
  8. Not sure if it can be retrofitted but my advice would be to speak to autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them for retrofits and been happy with the results
  9. No probs at all. Please keep us posted on how you get on
  10. Hadn't realise you had a dipstick too. If you have a dipstick then that is the best way of doing it.
  11. No probs. Have a look on eBay.
  12. Found this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166194889846?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=xmleYYQAQlG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  13. I appreciate yours is a b7 but here's how to change it on a b8. Probably will be in a similar location if you've got the 2.0tdi.
  14. How old is the battery? If it's on the original battery then this could be failing and ultimately be the culprit. We've seen time and time again where failing batteries throw up all sorts of electrical gremlins including multiple ones.
  15. I think your diagnosis is about right unfortunately. You might be able to get the pump rebuilt though.
  16. Unfortunately not. Despite the coupe and sportback looking similar they do vary. That goes for the bumpers too.
  17. Q2 is based on the older A3 8v (golf mk7) chassis and as such shared a lot of components including the interior with the A3 8v that's why it looks more dated. Where's as the A3 you're looking at will be the more up to date generation (8y). Unless you're desperate for an SUV I'd go for the A3 as it's a newer design and more up to date. I've been in the q2 and it is just a jacked up A3. No extra room etc. Plus the q2 goes out of production this year. The only other benefit of the q2 is exclusivity as it's been a poor seller.
  18. If it has the s tronic auto gearbox then it should have it as standard. Otherwise I believe it it was a £65 option.
  19. I'd avoid it personally.
  20. I'd get this checked too if it were mine.
  21. I'd have said level.srnsir but it's obviously reading ok as there's 125 miles left. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be an issue with the cockpit.
  22. Yea no gas in the system could be your issue. As there'd be no pressure either. Might explain why the car sticks to Econ. My A6 sticks to Econ because ac doesn't work. Haven't worked for 6 years but that's the least of my problems now!
