Here's a new one...

I'll give you a clue, this s3 was on an ITV series. 

The next event is a rolling road day. Here's the link: 

Or one at Beaulieu

You're more than welcome to display your a4 at Beaulieu with us :) 

I'm not a big fan of political posts but this picture did make me laugh. 

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

Have you had a diagnostic check carried out at all? And if so what (if any) fault codes come up? 

Im also assuming you've changed the key fob battery even though it's highly unlikely to be this. 

I would guess it's the module playing up but a diagnostic check would confirm this.

Sorry I can't help more.

Hi Kapil, 

Sorry to hear your having issues. With regard to the software updates Audi have done, this is quite normal and all vag cars will gave software updates available from time to time. However it is clear that no software update is going to solve this issue. 

Have Audi changed the gearbox oil? 

And have they done a diagnostic check? If so what (if any) codes cropped up?

And is the issue continuous or is it intermittent problem? 

If it is intermittent than this could explain why Audi haven't found the fault. My advice for you is to go out with the technician to show the fault. Also when the car goes into Audi make sure you have a courtesy car as that way you have some insurance in terms of ransom (I'll return the courtesy car once you've found the fault etc). 

It does sound to me that the gearbox needs to be taken out to be inspected in my opinion. And especially if all other options have been exhausted. 

Sorry I can't help more. 

Cheers

Hi Matt welcome to the forum, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

Usually the bulbs are a twist type and normally removing  parts such as the air box or piping should make it easier. That's what I've found on my a6. 

Sorry I can't help more.

Welcome to the forum David, 

You'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

Sorry to hear of your situation, and I have to agree with Tom on this. I would argue that if it was fuel contamination then they should be replacing all the fuel lines as well but the fact they are not on the bill I find odd. I used to work at a Volkswagen service department and you had to change the fuel lines, hoses, pumps and everything except the tank. 

The bill sounds about right and any trusted garage who know you should be happy with you to buy the parts independently. 

Sorry I can't help more 

Cheers

You're welcome :) 

Sorry I can't help anymore though and I'm unsure where the vacuum tank is to be honest.

Cheers

Hi, Steve. If the turbo was the problem, then why would it have moments when it runs like a charm? As far as i know, when the turbo goes bad, it goes bad for real (especially broken blades) and can't misteriously come back to working condition...

Well I've only compared it to my experience of my sisters golf. And I did see the turbo fan which had blades broken and meant the car didn't run 100% all of the time. But I could be/and probably will.be wrong but I've based it on my.own experience. 

Where

Hmm I do wonder if the lag is the turbo then. This is the same symptoms my sister experienced in her mk4 golf. As I say if it is the turbo then blades could have broken off the fan.
