If bought from a dealer they should fix this free of charge in the first 30 days after sale.

Might be worth getting a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

Sorry to hear of your other issue. What engine has the car got?

Please keep us posted on any developments.

Well every day is a school day. Never heard of this issue before.

Wowsers that's expensive for a dpf. Definitely worth getting a forced regen and/or get the dpf physically cleaned out.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

At least you can rule out the battery. It might be worth getting a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

You'll need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. But I'd say it could be the megatronics unit.

I believe so.

Ah apologies

Well done for having a look. Glad carpets are dry and no mayo. Yep separate systems. The AC system will leak water out to some degree. Glad you've got a warranty. You keep putting pressure on the dealer to sort. Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Sorry I missed this. So glad you've got it back. You've done a great job and the cars s credit to you 🙂 Have you managed to change the wheels and finding the cause of the cold start issue?

You're welcome 🙂

Fantastic news, thank you for updating us 🙂

Definitely could be a sensor (or the battery in the sensor at least). A diagnostic check would tell you.

Don't forget your consumer law. If the item (car, TV etc) goes faulty in the first 6 months of purchase it is assumed the fault was there when you purchased it, therefore you're entitled to a refund. So the dealer you bought it from should fix this. If you've bought it on finance (even partially) then you could ring your finance company, explain the situation and tell them "the vehicle isn't fit for purpose" and as such you want to end the finance agreement. This should get the finance company to get involved and hopefully sort it quicker. As let's be honest, a finance company has a bigger legal team than you or I. Besides this: Are the carpets wet? If so could be a leaking heater matrix. Could be caused by a cracked expansion tank. Failed expansion tank cap. Is there any white smoke out of the exhaust? Is there any mayo looking substance whee you'd put oil in?

You might find that the airbag system can't just be reset from a regular code reader and might need to be done by an Audi independent specialist or Audi.

If you've bought this within the last 30 days then it's down to the dealer too fix free of charge, assuming consumer law is the same in new Zealand as it is here in the UK.

No probs please keep us posted on how you get on

Sorry to hear you're still having issues. Keep fighting because they'd love to charge you for the work if it was out of warranty!

Please keep us posted on how you get on

Sorry for the delayed reply, did you get this sorted? Not sure it should be dropping after 6 days. I'd definitely say it's a leaking bag.

Glad you got it back. Let's hope the recall gets done quickly so you can charge it 100% again
