Chaps, may I suggest you contact your local dealerships and inform them of the issue as well as referencing this forum thread? @Mthom it was D1 national I noticed it on first, but there will be others not working too. Classical & BBC DAB stations works for me but it flips to FM I believe. Far too coincidental now.

Hi folks, quick question, I have 2008 Audi A3 , 2.0 TDI, bkd engine, manual gearbox, s-line. Have s-line 3 spoke steering wheel, but without radio control buttons, wonder is Audi A3 and other model Audi steering wheels with radio buttons are compatible? Any advice to find one ? Assume without air bag, as I could use mine one. I know about steering ECU under steering control unit , a while ago, I've installed cruise control, and I've replaced that ECU, and coded in order to work . Can't remember was that car , which I took off that ECU had steering control or not(have feelings it had,but not sure), also that was a bit newer car, as high beem light stalker had to fiddle a bit with, in order to get properly working. Wonder, I could see part number through diagnostics?? And then find out it supports steering wheel with buttons.. Thanks.

The plastic dome circled top left. Assumed it was a light.

How strange

I've just had the same issue on my q3. All stations are there but the D1 National ones are not working, no sound then when you move the volume it shows the no connection symbol. The only one that works is classic which flips to FM. The BBC ones work on Dab though. Mine stopped working roughly last Saturday as well.

Do please let us know the outcome.

Who'd have guessed it? Even though you have explained it the symbol still makes no sense to me.

It looks like the lacquer is lifting. I'd say water is getting in from the edges of the metal where the lacquer is thinnest.

What light? I can't see a light on.

Whether it needs to be serviced is debatable. Given that it is now out of guarantee you have nothing to lose by changing oil and filter. As I am fond of saying, nobody suffered a gearbox failure by changing the oil too often.

I found out what it was😂, it was some kind of time auto update. Somehow I found a time menu I had never come across before which allowed me to uncheck it 🥴

I've had a look online but not found anything. Is there any information on the my Audi app?

Hi all, Recently noticed a problem with the chrome trim on the rear bumper where it appears the plastic coating on the chrome trim is peeling off. Is this a common problem with A5’s and any idea of a solution? New ones appear to be over £300 just for the part but wondering if there is a better solution or repair option. No idea what’s caused it, whether it’s the jet wash or just change in weather.

Are they diamond cut? If so it might be corrosion happening under the lacquer

No way! Me too! They're reasonably priced. It's a while since I had a service has my a6 is off the road needing an engine. There's also vee dub near branstons.

Hi all As above / recap:- 1) 7 year warranty extension (from registration date) applies based on certain (build) PR codes. 2) Only covers Belt Starter Generator, no other related issues (12v battery, 48v battery, wiring) 3) Dealers /Audi UK are still in damage limitation / cost avoidance mode. If it's totally failed and you've been towed in, they might replace the BSG now. Or you might get into a drawn out (weeks and weeks) fight of diagnosis and trial and error. Speaking from experience and current knowledge.

It’s very strange and I don’t think we are the only 2 who’ve been affected if it’s a radio transmission issue

Warranty extention for starter generators.pdfI don’t have the document easily to hand but copies have been posted before on this thread if you look back. i am not sure the warranty extends to the battery

Sounds about right, I have sent you a private message, if you would like I can send you photo and video of the issue to see if it aligns up. Like I say im taking it into the garage but very interesting, at first I thought maybe a radio mast was down in my area but its been like this a week now.

That’s weird mine too I came back off holiday got in the car and no DAB radio please let me know how you go on yeah that’s right when you turn the volume control it’s sort of faded and doesn’t do anything then a pic with a one through it appears again all of the previously tuned channels is yours the same ?

Hi Hardeep, I had a similar problem. Audi Guildford had to check my serial number of my alternator to check if it was covered. Fortunately it was and it was repaired under warranty. I would get your dealer to check and do the same process. Hope it gets sorted. Thanks

is it just to let you know that you have the heated seat//s on when lit

Out of interest are the DAB channels themselves still appearing , but when you turn the volume slider it appears showing not available?
