Please keep us posted 🙂

There should be a sticker In the wheel well listing the build info. In failing that is should be in the inside front cover of the service book. Once you have the codes you can use a vag options decoder.

Loads of documented cases. Audi are still working on a fix but do t seem to quick or bothered about sorting it.

I'd definitely start with a diagnostic check and then go from there.

You're most welcome.

After googling the fault code it suggests it's a faulty oxygen sensor: http://u1025.enginetroublecode.com/audi-a1 Here's a sensor for sale on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143832354732?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=KUTl_YjoSSq&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY But the mechanic was right to say it could lead to a broken cat. Here's a reasonably priced one on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265155282678?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=5zFN_KBLRBC&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

It could just be a sensor, broken wire or failed module. I'd definitely recommend a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up.

The AC fault could just be a regas but worse case scenario it's the compressor. If it is then it could be an expensive bill.

I'd get the battery checked as a priority.

How old is the battery? Failing batteries can cause all sorts of weird electrical issues.

There should be a way to rest what you've done. It might be worth getting an auto electrican to take a look.

Wow, lovely colour and looks a nice example 🙂 guessing you're pleased with it 🙂

Now that's a stunner! I do love my British classics my grandparents had Vauxhall victors, ford Thames vans etc.

I'd be looking at a second hand one. You could place ads on breakeryard or breakerlink or on eBay. Alternatively you could look at a custom exhaust from companies like powerflow to see if they can supply one etc.

Bet you can't wait! Have you got it now? Vcds or obeleven are common ones.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. My advice would be to look at the MAF sensor, lambda sensor, fuel filter (incase it's clogged especially if the car has sat along time), spark plugs/HT leads, turbo (assuming it's the 1.8)

Well there is an issue which as you say is well documented. Currently there's no fix from Audi yet and it'll come out as a recall when they do have a fix. I'd leave the car with them until the car shows the fault.

No probs at all 🙂

Thank you for your input. Do you mind if I ask what club that is? At least it's not just out club then.

You breaking the car kev?

When your SatNav says: "branch left on trunk road"

I'd be contacting your local Audi dealer as it sounds like they're changing them under warranty.

I'd be trying eBay or placing ads on breakers sites like breakerlink or breakeryard.

Welcome to the forum Jimmy, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Lovely looking A4 not surprised you can't wait to get it!

Marshall Motor Group has succeeded in condensing the operations of three Audi premium car dealerships into one flagship location with the opening of its new Audi Centre in South East London. The AM100 car retail group’s chief executive, Daksh Gupta, said that the decision was made to relocate Marshall’s Audi Centres in Sydenham, Bromley and Beckenham to a single retail site following a strategic review of its Audi representation in South East. The result of the project was the creation of a new, £7.2 million three-storey Audi Centre on Chaffinch Business Park, Beckenham, containing a nine-car showroom and 17 bay workshop facility, developed by Square One Construction. Gupta said: “The relocation of our existing Audi Centres in Sydenham, Bromley and Beckenham to this fantastic new South East London hub represents a substantial investment for Marshall and demonstrates our commitment to both our customers, our colleagues and Audi, as one of the UK's largest retail partners. “Audi South East London is a stunning destination facility. Upon arrival the customer benefits are evident – additional customer parking, electric charging points plus with sumptuous lounge areas and hospitality facilities we have the base to deliver both exceptional and memorable customer experiences.” Marshall Motor Group is currently awaiting its formal takeover by Constellation Automotive Group after the BCA and cinch owner gained the regulatory approvals required from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to complete its acquisition. The development of its Audi South East London site is one of several recent dealership investments made by the group. Among the newly-developed businesses is the £12m Motorline Toyota and Lexus dealership in Bristol and its redeveloped Volvo Car UK and Jaguar Land Rover dealerships in Peterborough. Last week, the group's Marshall Hyundai Gloucester dealership was named Best in Customer Service at the 2022 AM Awards, while Marshall Volkswagen St Albans won EV Dealership of the Year. Commenting on the opening of the new Audi dealership this month, Marshall Audi franchise director Tim Murphy said: “The opening of the South East London in Beckenham is an extremely exciting time for the team and look forward to welcoming customers. “Audi South East London is a timeless, modern and contemporary environment – the perfect space to discover the Audi new and approved used range and great facilities for aftersales customers too. “Everything has been designed with the customer in mind. The Centre is a new space for the future. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.am-online.com/amp/news/dealer-news/2022/05/17/marshall-s-72m-audi-centre-brings-three-dealerships-into-one-london-site
