Hi I did get it fixed but I never got the chance to sell it as it rolled off of my local garage forecourt into the brick wall across the road, electro mechanical handbrake failure caused by a voltage drop on the battery which is another favourite trick of the cars from 2014-2017, no the price you have been quoted is not normal as I never paid more than £1600 for the cooler unit to be replaced bearing in mind you could only get the parts from Audi at around £700, now you can get aftermarket parts around £450, my advice would be to get the adblue mapped out and then the cooler fixed as cheaply as possible then get rid of it ASAP, beautifully made car body wise and a joy to drive BUT parts are ruinous price wise and as mine was used as a cab frequent, got a Passat estate now not as glamorous but is as nice to drive and any parts are about a third of the price. Steve.

Looks like it’s reset itself so all good 🤞

Thanks Steve, did you pay to get yours fixed before you sold it? I've just the quote in from the garage, £3620!! Is that normal for P2002 and P20E8 fault codes??

After 4 years ownership, i only noticed recently that with ignition on, but engine off/never started, i don't get the red oil can warning (low pressure) light. All the other usual suspects illuminate as they should (engine management light, handbrake, abs, airbag, steering, brake fluid, glow plug and red triangle with exclamation ❗ mark), but no oil can symbol illuminates. Is this a quirk of the A4 B9 2.0 TDI (2017), or have i a ropey wire off the oil pressure sensor? There are no warning lamps illuminated after the car has done it's own diagnostic check, and the engine is started, they all extinguish as they should, plus OBDeleven shows no fault codes (apart from a problem with the heated and cooled cup holder - i don't have this, and i didn't know it was a thing anyway! But the code always crops up!). So, is it correct (no oil can warning light with just ignition on)? Or is something amiss, even though no faults show? I've never had a car that doesn't illuminate the low oil pressure oil can lamp with ignition on. Oil check via the mmi service check is spot on too. Maybe i'm about to answer my own question here, but could it be something to do with the oil level sensor playing a part in it(?) Cheers

Well, 2 months later and it has decided to just start working again... without me doing a thing! With the manual control to put it up, I've greased the hinges and pivots, so wondering if it had somewhat seized for a while, and then unstuck itself...

Hi guys, new on here so apologies if I’m doing this all wrong. Today I was putting some puddle lights on , now on the rear door behind drivers door I unplugged the red light to check the light (all worked b4 hand), I unclipped the light but when I plugged it bk in the light doesn’t work now, neither does the puddle light, all other doors are ok. I could do with help, I’ve replaced the bulb no joy, does anyone know what fuse number I need to check as manual does not really explain, or if anyone knows what I have done…. It’s driving me nuts as all other lights are fine , any help would be appreciated

Looking good Mr.G still rocking my winter wheels, think I’ll be keeping them on 🤔😂

He didnt check the fuses inside the car, no

Can you update us please Sean?

Unlikely to be the module. Probably one or more sensors at fault. It’s one out - all out. As said, diagnostics will pin point which one. I changed one of mine about 18 months ago, but same issue has returned. Faulty EBay one, or another one of the originals??

Hi I have a similar problem with my A4 Avant 2008 BRD PD engine. What happened to make it start running again? Regards John

As far as I can see the PDC control (situated on right hand side in boot has part number 8P0919283D). The last letter may change, depends on versions. Double check yourself. It could be anything from broken wires, rather than a defective unit. This part new from Audi is £158, but quick check on EBay, they can be had for as little as £18. Ideally you want to scan the car with VCDS as it will pinpoint the error. More details here regards part search. https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/audi/RDW/A3/412/9/919/919020

Added a TTRS Mk2 2009 to my Audi collection 🤩 plenty of smiles!

I took the plunge and added a 2009 TTRS to my Audi collection! It needs a few bits of trim and new vents and some other bits and bobs but it’s pretty good condition and goes like a rocket

Whoever does that clearly values his wallet more than his life. I nominate him for a Darwin award.

Hi all, I know this subject has been covered,appologies. I have 2007 A3 sportsback tfsi. The usual thing, were working, get the long beep then nothing. I can not hear any buzzing or feel any vibration from any of the sensors. My question is, is there a central unit controlling all the sensors? and can this fail or is it normally just one or two sensors? I have seen something about a unit in the rear ,side panel in the boot , can this be easily changed? I have tried to find a thread that covers this but most seem to concentrate on a particular sensor being faulty. Many thanks in advance and I hope this is the right way to do it as total neewbie to using forums.

Hi all looling forward to being on the forum I've just brought myself a audi a5 sline 1.8tfsi 2015 and was just wondering how would I go about updating the navigation as it seems very out of date is it just audi who do it? Also has anyone had this done as wonder how expensive it might be? The other issue I've heard about the audi app is that worth subscribing? Many thanks Kev

Can this cause slow acceleration .. where there pipe fits on throttle body I can pull pipe and it has little gap back and forth movement maybe a few mm thanks

Hi tight with no gaps.

Hi the exhaust system flush will not cure your problem, deleting the adblue may well solve that problem, the only way to cure P2002 is to replace the cooler and valve unfortunately I did it three times on my A6, its an inherent design fault which is like a disease without any real cure, if you listen to some of the waffle about delete this delete that its all wonderful which is why I sold the car a few months later. Steve.

Is the throttle body side of hose suppose to be bit loose where the clip fits on or is it suppose to be tight with no gap

Ye thanks going to have a look tomorrow if I can see part number on hose

Hi the part number is on the hose, alternatively go on line there must be the worlds supply of silicone replacements.

Hi its most likely the resistor that is the problem, most idiots put these things in rather than repair the offending module, this just leads to problems as when the resistor fails [chinese cr@p] it throws the whole baby out with the bath water, I think you will find the igniter is integrated in to the end of the airbag, the tragic consequences of such bodges is the airbags fail to deploy in a collision and just promote more serious injury, best policy is to engage an auto electrician which may engender some new parts as well. Steve.
