Could it be an issue with the thermostat?

Id recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up but I'll bet it's either an issue with a leaking suspension airbag, failed air compressor or air compressor relay.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up, as it could be an issue with the control module.

I agree with Richard. Wire case scenario the megatronics unit is on the way out.

Spoiler will definitely be bonded on.

It might need a diagnostic check with a more sophisticated diagnostic system, no disrespect to your code reader. Erratic idle as you've rightly suggested could be the maf sensor but also the lambda sensor, cam position sensor, crank sensor, injector or injector seal etc.

Thought I'd share the reset buttons and procedures for different models.

Glad it's working again 🙂 keep us posted on developments.

Looks great! Keep us posted on how you get on with other mods.

You definitely need an auto electrician or Audi independent specialist.

Thanks so much for the update Andy, glad you got sorted 🙂

If cliffs idea doesn't work you can get the adblue system mapped out.

Fantastic work 👍 which Porsche calipers have you fitted and did they bolt straight up? Or did you have to change the hubs?

Shattered sunroofs are heard of on the q7. Not heard about it in the q5 now.

Good work, keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 lovely colour.

Does the light not unscrew from underneath? Find it odd you'll have to remove the spoiler as thatll probably be bonded on.

Good plan. No real hints or tips to be honest, just be on top of maintenance 🙂 I'm not too clued up on Bluetooth dongles to be honest. You could always look at an aftermarket head unit with Bluetooth l, android auto etc.

Looks fantastic, sounds like you've got a good plan to get it recommissioned. Slow starting could be worn out glow plugs or injector issue. Any blue smoke on start up could be failed injector seals. Please keep us posted on how you get on

Best place would be eBay including international sellers. I know what it's like though, I've been looking for a glovebox for my A6 C5 for 3 years.

What's with the rudeness? You don't like the answers use Google, Facebook etc. makes me question what research you did in the first place regarding these engines. Alternatively, take it to a garage for a proper diagnosis like every car owner who isn't mechanically minded has to do.

Bless ya, please keep us posted on how you get on

I've tried to help you, and I haven't been negative just advised you. I'd missed the part about no smoke or smell. With no smoke or smell it could still be a leak. I find you're not being particularly nice when I've tried to help you. We're passionate about the Audi brand and are enthusiasts but not all mechanics! I did some Googling for you which is where my advice has come from. As I've never used any of the products you have are mentioning I can't advise. Please note as moderators we are all volunteers and try to help in our spare time.

Ah right, might be worth not fitting one just in case it melts.
