A failing battery can cause weird electrical issues. If the alarm is going off when the car door is opened then there's an issue with the alarm, central locking or general electrical system.

Nice one 👍

I'll see if anyone else is interested.

Same situation as you. I'm driving down on the Saturday. I'll see where others want to meet.

I think the aerial might need replacing. As I know on the A6 c5 that's what can cause the marker to be in the wrong place.

You're welcome 🙂

Including the remote locking? I'd definitely look at the battery first.

The sensor/system might need resetting which will be the easiest option. As such is recommend a diagnostic check. The sensor might need replacing. It could also be the pump as it was in this case: https://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/189586-Adblue-system-fault-No-restart-in-650-miles

I'd definitely get the car jacked up to see if a spring has snapped or shocks gone (they'll be leaking). If it's got air suspension there could be a leak in the system.

Just checked. Performance German day in the 23rd April. Didnt know about this show.

Oo what's the event on the 22nd of April?

Very nice 👍

Very nice! We accept all Audi's here. Mines not perfect by any means.

Very nice colour 👍

Might be worth you trying a second hand headlight. Or get an auto electrican to take a look at the wiring.

Are they halogen or xenon headlights? If it's the latter the ballast boxes go.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the show next weekend 🙂 Please find attached the club display sign we have to display on our dashboards when entering the event. Also we need to arrange a pre meet location which could be either Rownhams Motorway Services - SO16 8AP or the Car Park at Tesco's at Sizer Way, Dibden, Southampton SO45 5JA. Which would you all prefer? audiownersclub.com.pdf

Definitely take a look at YouTube buyers guides. If I'm not mistaken these have timing chains I think. These can rattle and could need replacing if so.

I've got a similar issue. I've had various parts of the central locking looked at. I think in my case the CCM needs replacing. Does your central locking work ok?

I think you can buy units that plug into the back of the radio can't you? An Audi retrofit with genuine parts will probs cost around £500 I'd guess. You could always upgrade the headunit to a android/apple car play compatible one.

Beautiful!

Very nice 👍
