The new Audi Q8 which was shown at both the Geneva and Frankfurt motorshows is set to be released for sale in 2018. The Q8 is Audi's new SUV flagship and competes against the Range rover.
The drivetrain will include e-tron plug in hybrid which will be connected to a 3.0tfsi engine and fitted with Quattro. This engine will do 155mph and hit 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. Emissions was 53g/km of CO2. In fully electric mode the range is 37 miles and the battery will take 2 and half hours to charge from empty.
It is also suspected that the V8 diesel engine as fitted to the SQ7 I will most likely be offered to the Q8. This engine is a 4.0 bi-turbo v8 which produces 429bhp.
Here's the link for more info:

Hi Steve, Thanks. I take it I need to find a way to get at the chanels and unblock them. So I can start the dry out process. Why can't cars do these things in the summer when it's warm outside lol. well I was on the right track of thinking. Thanks for the clarification. Cheers Karl
You're welcome Karl :) I'd start off by removing the battery. You'll get a better view then.

some sort of police drama?
Correct.

Have you had a diagnostic check carried out at all?
This definitely sounds like a wiring issue to me.
Cheers

Well I'd just be careful. It might be worth you having an independent inspection carried out by companies such as the AA or RAC. If the dealer refuses or is reluctant then I would say the dealer or car has more to hide!

Hi,
I have the same problem with the same tyre spec. Have you had any feedback from Dunlop? I am getting my tyres replaced tomorrow so can probably keep one back as an example.
I would definitely keep one back as an example. Your the 3rd person now. I think Dunlop are trying to brush this issue under the carpet.

Great choice on having B&O it's a great system :) you should be able to adjust the settings in the mmi I believe. Did you not got a handbook with it when you colleted it?

Hi Bradley, your not thinking of getting rid of the a4 now are you?!
Obviously check service history, this ideally should be full and check to see if the cambelt and water pump has been changed as on the age of cars you'll be looking at, they should all be due or have had them changed.
Also make sure all electronic items work as they can be expensive to fix.
Are you thinking of manual or auto? And are you wanting Quattro?
Cheers

Last weekend, about 3pm, without starting the vehicle since the previous night, went out to hoover the interior and clean it, keeping the doors open and the Interior lights staying on. Afterwards, I then inflated my tyres but to start the Ignition only so the electric compressor can function. Upon completion, I reset the Tyre Pressure monitor within the MMI and then started the engine only for an alarm to sound, and on the Dash screen, it stated "Start/Stop Fault - System Unavailable". But there were no Amber/Red lights displayed.
I turned off the engine and Ignition and restarted the car an this time, no warning. I then went for a drive, to get the vehicle to operating temperature so the Start/Stop system would work and it did, it worked as it normally does. Even to date, there has been no further indication of any warning and I do not have any Diagnostic kits so I cannot check to see if there are any Fault Codes listed on my vehicle.
One Audi forums (not this one) stated that on an S3, the Start/Stop fault on there car was due to a faulty Crank Sensor and a Low Battery voltage.
I can only assume that the Battery voltage aspect was what played a part on my vehicle but the car is not quite a year old yet so I hope my Battery isn't faulty. Would this cause any fluctuation with the Start/Stop system? Should I have my Audi Service Centre look in to it or is that too extreme?
I would have to agree and suggest this issue was caused by low battery voltage. It's amazing how many electronic issues can be traced back to a low battery. If the battery is low then this will prevent the start stop to not work as it takes alot on the battery if that makes sense.
Sounds like everything is back to normal now though :)

Welcome to the forum Adam you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :)
Its worth trying Audi but I'd doubt they'll be able to help.
You'll also need all the door lock barrels as well from the donor car. How have you managed to get in the car without a key?
Cheers

I think you'll find the faults are linked. On the c5 the water drain points in the battery area can become clogged with foliage and dirt etc. This then means water cabt escape via the channels and thus enters the cabin through the normal holes in the bulkhead for wiring. The water then floods the footwell and in the process can damage the fusebox behind the dash. This I believe is what's caused your electrical issues.
Normally to resolve the issues the footwell and other wet areas need to dry out then you'll need to get a diagnostic check carried out. Worst case scenario is that some of the electronic modules are wrecked.
Sorry I can't help more.

Hi Gary have you felt the clutch change whilst in your ownership? I got heavier or slipping etc?
Also what's the mileage on your a3?
I can't comment on the bite point on the 1.5 as I've not driven it, sorry. Have you taken it to Audi at all? As the car is under warranty but obviously the clutch is only covered in rare circumstances.
Sorry I can't help more.
