Steve Q

Even if they find faults you don't have to have them repaired there. It's a tough decision. I'd be getting recommendations for each garage.

No probs at all 🙂

Good plan, I'm still surprised the previous owner didn't code the battery.

I'd get the battery coded first of all as the mmi might have gone into a safe mode for security. Whilst the diagnostic Machine is plug in you may as well see what fault codes flag up. As you may find the mmi needs a reset or has failed. If it does boot up but you haven't got a code Audi can supply you with one. Regarding the gearbox when was the oil last changed? The CVT boxes aren't the strongest but if you check the codes for the mmi issue then you might find a fault with the gearbox. As it could be a module.

You could look at upgraded hoses (silicone) and regarding the limp mode I'd be getting a diagnostic check. Was the remap done on a rolling road or just via a computer on your drive?

Ford did the same in the 70s with the pinto or similar in the US. Along with Chevrolet with the corvair in the 60s.

You're welcome 🙂 next show is this Sunday (Jap Vs german) we have a club display and you've be more than welcome to come along and display your car. Have a look under the events section for more info 👍

Sorry you're experiencing these issues. If you bought it on finance you could contact them to explain the issues and say it's not fit for purpose and you want to return it. See what they say. I'm sure when they speak to Audi something will be done then!

That is very surprising!

Glad this forum helped you 🙂

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Nice looking A5 you have there 🙂

Glad this thread helped and glad you got the part ordered 🙂 you'll be back on your way in no time 👍

Sorry to hear of your situation. Hope you find a job soon 🙂 I'm with Steve on this one and I'd definitely fit the thermostat to see if that cures the issues.

You're most welcome, glad this thread helped 🙂 the most up-to-date part ends in a letter b 👍

If it's roughly the same era then should fit. Your other option is to fit an aftermarket radio. What radio is fitted currently? As the easiest option would be to replace it with the same.

Hope it gets sorted Tony 🙂

Spoke to the event organiser today. Those wishing to display their cars need to arrive no later than 9:30. Looks like it's going to be their biggest show yet!

Make sure you have pictures of the tyres before you send them off. As well as pictures of all the numbers in the side as I'm sure they'll be a batch number or something on them.

A5 kev 🙂 If it were me I'd be looking at sourcing one from eBay. It's amazing how many speakers seem to go on the a5s.

You're welcome, glad we could help 🙂 sorry you'll have to get rid of it.

Nice one! Looks stunning 🙂

I'd try Facebook market place or the Q5 Facebook groups 🙂

Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂 hope you get somewhere with them.

Ah damn. Such a Shame.

You should speak to the company that supplies you the tyres or alternatively Dunlop. However the latter might be a waste of time as they do t seem to care that their tyres are dangerous. You could also speak to trading standards.
