Where is that ECU located?

If you ring Audi parts department they should be able to get the up to date part for you.

I believe you're right 🙂 https://bads.lt/en/a-c-audi-refrigerant-filling-quantities-r134a-an-1234yf/

New York (CNN)Volkswagen and Audi, VW's luxury brand, have been hit by a data breach that exposed the contact information and, in some cases, personal details, like driver license numbers, of customers in the United States and Canada. More than 3 million customers or shoppers had at least basic contact information stolen from an outside company that worked with the automakers, according VW. That data included phone numbers, email addresses, postal mailing addresses and, in some cases, vehicle identification numbers. The company has reached out to 90,000 people in the US -- mostly Audi customers or shoppers -- who had especially sensitive information taken in the breach. In most cases, that included driver's license numbers and, in a small number of cases, Social Security numbers, VW or Audi account numbers and dates of birth. The company is offering free credit protection to those who had very sensitive information taken. The breach included data from people who had merely inquired about purchasing an Audi or VW vehicle, according to a statement from Volkswagen USA. The data, which was stolen from an outside vendor that VW and Audi and some of their dealers use, had been gathered between 2014 and 2019. The information had been collected and saved for marketing purposes, according to VW (VLKPF), and had been left in an unsecured file. VW did not name the vendor. "We regret any inconvenience this may cause our current or potential customers," VW USA said in a statement. "As always, we recommend that individuals remain alert for suspicious emails or other communications that might ask them to provide information about themselves or their vehicle." https://edition.cnn.com/2021/06/11/cars/vw-audi-hack-customer-information/index.html

Sorry to hear that. It looks like you've been stung.

My advice would be to look at them giving you a full refund which you're entitled to up to 30 days after sale.

Couldn't agree more. My a6 wants for nothing bar a little bit of rust which needs attention but that's it.

Glad you got sorted abd thank you for providing the ordering advice for other members ☺️

If you bought the car within the 30 days my advice would be to take it back to the dealer to sort which should be done FOC as you are entitled to a full refund up to 30 days. It might just need an update.

If you bought it from a dealer then you have the right to a full refund within 30 days of sale.

Here's another one:

Could tgey be for the heater/heater matrix? I say this as I remember my wife having an issue with her old fiesta a long time ago and the pipes were in a similar configuration. Of they run into the bulkhead then I would hedge my bet that that's what they are.

I do still think the mpg level is too low. There could still be an issue with the air fuel mixture. I'd say there could be an issue with the maf sensor but the only thing that questions my logic is that the car is running normally.

Is it task master or would I lie to you?

Sorry I can't help more.

Might be worth seeing if you can get an uprated on from demontweaks or similar. Or look under international sellers on EBay.

The quattro system and s tronic will account for some of the mog loss over your previous a3. But it still shouldnt be that low I'd argue. My a6 achieves those kind of figures for urban and it's 19 years old with high mileage and has two more cylinders. Have you taken it to a garage to be looked at? Might be worth looking at a diagnostic check. Also what colour is the exhaust smoke. As the car running rich could account for it.

You could always call the aa or similar breakdown company to help try to get the wheel off?

Decent one will cost around £300 I think. Well known tuners include darkside developments & Revo.
