Could be the antenna, the module or the mmi unit itself. My advice would be to get a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up.

I've not personally. But you've got me wondering what condition my bushes are in. 😬

I think it'll need removing. You changing both sides?

How'd you get on with this? Any update?

It's mad to be honest

It would need coding and fitting professionally. I'd recommend you'd speak to a retrofitted such as autologics. Think you'd be looking £600-1000 to have it fitted. You'd be better off getting an A3 that has it fitted already.

A week to go until this show, who's coming?

There was a time chains on the whole lasted for life! They've cheapened them deliberately so they have to be changed like a Cambelt in my opinion.

Shocking the way these parts suppliers act it really is!

Diagnostic check is recommended. You could always upgrade the sub, amp and speakers.

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

W12 is reliable and smooth but very thirsty.

Lol. You knew what I meant 😂 could always consider trekking style bags 😉

If most are in town then I think you'd be better with petrol to be honest. Regardless of engine make sure the gearbox has been serviced on time and that the tyres match/say tread as uneven tyre wear can damage the quattro system.

Definitely useful bad a reference point 🙂

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes are stored regarding the start up issue. Sounds like it might not have been running on all cylinders maybe? Regarding air suspension is think level 2 is standard. Wouldn't 1 bar be dynamic and 3-4 off road etc.

The question what s, how many miles do you do a year and what kind of miles. If it's low miles mainly around town then avoid diesel as you'll just end up with blocked egr or dpfs.

Location unknown of this quattro.

Cheap fixes are the best 🙂

Definitely should be covered under warranty in my opinion. They look like the suspension mounting points. I'd get it booked in with the Audi body shop.

I recommend a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up. Could definitely be a sensor.

A German court on Friday threw out a lawsuit against a guideline issued by automaker Audi that called for employees to use gender-sensitive language. An employee of Audi’s parent company, Volkswagen, objected to Audi colleagues using such language in their communications with him and went to the state court in Audi’s home city of Ingolstadt to challenge the guideline. He alleged a violation of his personal rights. But the court ruled the person who brought the lawsuit had no right to demand the non-application of the guidance, German news agency dpa reported. Judge Christoph Hellerbrand said it was directed only at Audi employees and the plaintiff, as a Volkswagen employee, was not required to follow it. The court also found that being on the receiving end of gender-sensitive wording wasn’t enough to justify a ruling in the Volkswagen employee’s favor. He didn’t have a right “to be left in peace,” the judge ruled. Some other companies have introduced similar guidelines. German nouns referring to people and their professions have different masculine and feminine forms. The Audi guideline in question was introduced last year. It called for the use of a form of German words that includes an underscore to encompass both masculine and feminine forms and is meant to show broader gender inclusiveness — writing “employees” as “Mitarbeiter_innen,” for example. That and another gender-sensitive form that uses an asterisk — in which “employees” would be written as “Mitarbeiter(asterisk)innen” — annoy conservatives, some language experts and others. They prefer more traditional forms such as the “generic masculine” — using the masculine plural, “Mitarbeiter,” to refer to all genders, or in some cases referring genders separately as “Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2022/07/29/german-court-rejects-suit-over-audis-gender-sensitive-language/amp/

The 2022 Audi RS3 is one of the most compelling cars in its segment and at its heart is a five-cylinder engine. According to a new report, the time to snatch one up is soon because it’s headed out the door at the end of this generation. In its place will be an all-electric, all-wheel drive platform that will rocket from 0-60 in less than four seconds. This report comes to us from the folks over at Autocar who claim that sources at Audi itself have confirmed the switch to full electrification for the next generation of the A3. That car is scheduled to arrive in the UK in 2027 and its more sporting variants, the S3 and RS3, will also go electric. Front-wheel drive is also going to be a thing of the past as base models in the family will get rear-wheel drive. All-wheel drive will also be available and it goes without saying that it will be a standard feature on the RS3. The report indicates that Audi will use a twin motor setup and some form of torque vectoring as well. The current 2022 RS3 develops 401 hp (299 kW) and 359 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. Paired with Quattro AWD and a trick rear differential it zooms from 0-60 in as little as 3.6 seconds. Its EV replacement should be good for a similar if not better time. The A3 family will be built atop VW Group’s Scalable Systems Platform (SSP) which is designed to facilitate a 800V electric architecture. Thus, it should be capable of adding around 80 miles worth of range in just 10 minutes of charge time. That’s considerably faster than what’s capable with a 400V system found on vehicles like the Volkswagen ID.4. The report also says that the new A3 will be a little bigger than the outgoing ICE model and that both sedan and hatchback variants are likely. Are you excited to see what an electrified RS3 can do or would you prefer the charismatic five-cylinder of the current model? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.carscoops.com/2022/07/a-new-report-says-that-the-next-audi-rs3-will-be-an-all-electric-monster/amp/

With the Volkswagen ID.4-based Audi Q4 e-tron and the regular Audi e-tron, the prestigious German automaker currently has a compact as well as a much larger electric SUV in its EV lineup. Since there is also a relatively wide price gap between these two models, the company is working diligently on its “middle child” in the form of the Audi Q6 e-tron, whose camouflaged prototype has now been caught in the wild by a photographer. To be more precise, it is the sleek Sportback variant of the Audi Q6 e-tron that has now appeared in the arguably most beautiful prototype pictures to date. The images in question have been obtained by our colleagues at Motor1 and can be accessed via this link. Among other details, these new spy shots show a familiar-looking rear spoiler that seems to be a bit less distinctive than on the smaller Q4 Sportback e-tron. Audi is also staying true to its current design language and equips the electric SUV with narrow taillights, but with an estimated height of almost 71 inches, the Sportback variant of the Audi Q6 e-tron will be noticeably taller than its compact sister model. Although the apparent exterior design won't feature any earth-shattering innovations, the Audi Q6 e-tron will be superior to the automaker’s less expensive electric SUV from a technical point of view. This is because the EV will be based on the shared premium electric platform called "PPE", which is a 800-volt system and should therefore offer a significantly higher charging capacity. With a peak performance of up to 600 horsepower, the dual-motor drivetrain of the top-of-the-line RS model should also live up to its premium ambitions. The electric SUV is expected to be officially unveiled by the end of the year, but the eventual launch of the Audi Q6 e-tron will probably take place in 2023. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Audi-Q6-e-tron-Camouflaged-prototype-of-the-upcoming-electric-SUV-appears-in-new-spy-shots.637278.0.html

Ah, my only other advice would be to ring an Audi parts department as theyll have a schematic.
