My 2016 Avant is equally as confusing!

It’s the new shape Sept2016 registered. So it’s the B9 officially. 
But my V5 says B8. 
The weightplate on the car says B8.5. 
 

Never had any issues getting parts or anything like that but that may be luck!!

Sounds like there's quite a few incorrectly registered cars out there.

Reading this thread has me back in June 2020 having an absolute nightmare with this. 
Had the same sequence everyone has here. Brake servo restricted message. Then the park immediately message. 

Long long story short, I ended up sending the bricked abs unit to ECU Testing, who said they’d never seen this issue before. But they managed to fix it. 
 

So for anyone who has the abs unit problem, get your mechanic to remove the abs unit (if you can’t do it yourself) and send it to them. I recall it was like £700 for the whole fix. Much cheaper than a replacement. 
 

Hope this helps someone. 

Thank you for your suggestion. I'm sure it'll be useful for others 

Osram (night breaker I think they're called) and Philips so upgraded bulbs. 

Please keep us posted on how you get on 

I think the screen might need to be coded to the car. 

No probs

Steve,

 

You might be right.  As i said its something i was told but it could have been 100,000 kilometers instead of miles.

 

Very good point 

I thought s tonic box was either 40 or 70k? 

I think the normal oil should be fine 

I was in a similar situation to you with my A6 C5, I fitted kyb rear shocks to my A6. 

Could it be an engine or gearbox mount?

You needed one that's the same code as yours. 

Failed clutch and duel mass flywheel? 

Could it be an engine or gearbox mount? 

Id recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up 

I dont think it's seen. 

I've heard of over rubs with turbos before but not on the 2.5fdi. I'd recommend getting this to a garage asap. 

This link might help: 

That's the same part number I've found.

I'd recommend looking on eBay or Audi. Alternatively can't you get yours painted?

I posted to this forum last year when I had an A3 TFSIe from the Reading Sytner dealership. I had exactly the same issue.

I finally got mine into the dealership and got it repaired after lots and lots of nagging. What they did, I have no idea. By this time I was so disgusted by the way Audi handled not just my case, but all the cases that were reported to them (littered through various forums) that I sold the car back to the dealership at a loss to me.

I'll even go so far to say that I'm so tarnished by the whole exeprience, I'll  probably never touch another Audi.

Unfortunately you're not alone, customer service is something of a rarity these days.

Thanks I am just enquiring to establish if we have any good news stories with 3.0 tdi cd clean diesels registered prior to 2016, I understand that you need to present to TFL the v5c and a certificate of conformity...i am assuming the issue is the TFL consider all pre 2016 not euro 6 compliant even companies like Audi were 'early adopters.. 

 

Tfl are out to rob people. You will definitely need the certificate of conformity 

I'd definitely be looking at the clutch master cylinder I think. 

So sorry to hear about this Steve I know how it feels as the same thing happened to my wife's astra (also electronic handbrake) on our wedding day! It rolled off into another car ina carpark as she went in to get her flowers. 

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