The only thing that goes against my dpf theory is that you'd think there'd be a fault code.

If Audi have done it and fitted genuine parts at least you'll have come back for the next 12 months if you have issues with the springs.

Haas the battery been checked? A failing battery can cause all sorts of electrical issues

No probs 🙂

Could it be an issue with the dpf I wonder? The car thinking it needs to keep the fan on during a regeneration

Night

You're welcome 🙂 I'm not sure if the warning light would be an MOT failure or not.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. It could be a broken wire on the demister. The radio could be a failing antenna

I suspect it's due to the fact the new springs are stiffer being new. As long as the same part number part was used you'll be fine.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Alternatively take it to an auto electrican to check the wiring

Away

Quite extreme for all.those parts to fail.at the same time in my opinion. You probably should have sort a second opinion before having the work done.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check before you start changing sensors. It could be a sensor. Does the engine heat up etc as it should.

The answer is yes. You would just use dampers that don't have connections for ADS. According to reports this leaves a warning light on your dash, though.

I'm guessing you've done a diagnostic check recently. Also I do think it could be the fuel pump. You could also looking at getting the tank cleaned maybe.

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

Cover

Hi there, I believe from what you say there will definitely be valve and cylinder head damage. Bottom end damage possibly. Is it repairable?, yes. Is it worth repairing?, this depends entirely on what you are prepared to spend and what the car is worth to you personally. I guess for repair you maybe looking at £1500+, just to give you some idea or you could look for a good used engine to drop in. Hope this may help some.

I've had a look too but struggling to find anything.

No probs at all. Did you get to the bottom of it?

Man

It sounds like an electrical issue to me. When I worked in the motor trade I found cars that had batteries with very low charge would do this. Has the battery and electrics been checked?
