I removed black battery cable and charged it to make sure its not battery

Could be anything. Not all OBD readers are the same. Needs a full VCDS scan. Could even be battery related.

Hello, i recently bought an Audi Q7 from 2008 and i have this weird problem with the air suspension… The air suspension light Will most of the time come on but not always, maybe 95% of the time its blinking but sometime it dosen’t show neither any problems with selecting which height, i ran an OBD fault code today but no fault code at all came on. Thanks in advance

Hi folks, I have exactly the same issue as described here - a buzzing noise that is killing me. Does anyone have any solutions?

Ahh, indeed exactly what occurred. You tube it great to find out these things but in this case its not something youd search for when the car is saying all is good!! Th garage I bought the car from ultimately has paid the £727 bill for repairing the ABS ECU so all has ended well! The lovely people who fixed the car also gave me the full diagnostic report too, which was also nice. Thanks for your help, I am going to tell everyone I know about this potential money waste!!

Hello, i am looking to upgrade the front bumper on my Audi A3 8P s-line 07' year, wondering if i can install an 08'-12' front bumper, this one particular, will it fill perfectly or no, thanks for help 🙂

Thanks all, i'll have a look through and update.

Any progress with this Alan?

I think the important decision is whether to keep it and spend on it, or part with it, or indeed just park it up and look at it! Obviously, you are the only one who can make that decision - we cannot do that for you. I think I have given you a workable way forward if you do decide to keep it. Please let us know what you decide. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hello Christer. Try entering your registration number into Parts in Motion (Exeter) website. You should then be presented with a choice of brands. I tend to go with Febi. Please let us know how you get on. Kind regards, Gareth. p.s. Just noticed the car is 25 years old. Where have you tried and failed so far?

That’s great and I think everyone who suffered the loss of channels has had them restored I would like to think that due to the communications and comments generated by all on the post decisions have been reversed.

As of Wednesday 15th April my DAB+ miraculously started working again. Almostas though someone realised they'd f#$ked up and quickly reversed their mistake. All my channels are once again broadcasting as though nothing had happened and we'd been collectively having some kind of mass hysteria lol

Hi looking for a pair of rear standard coil springs for my tqs w reg if anyone has some any ?or where I may get some. Thanks for any advise

You logic is right. But I don't need the the car, I just enjoy having it. I guess I need to get specialized advice as my garage has clearly given up

I’m only get approx 38-40 in the 40 tdi ! however mine is mainly stop starting in town . just wondering do any of the drive modes make a difference ? I’ve just left it in ‘ auto ‘

Hi David, Congratulations on the new A6! One thing I need to ask you about... 51 mpg?! I had my new A6 Avant 40 TFSI delivered late last year. Even on long, eco runs from Kent to Staffordshire and Lincolnshire I have only managed 37-40mpg. Maybe it's the limited miles I have put on the car since new. That, or I need to know the magic touch to get this 40 TFSI anywhere near 50 mpg!

That's a great idea, I hadn't thought of that at all. Sounds like the best solution to me, thanks Steve, good thinking mate.

Hi Dan, Thanks for that. The best offer I got standard was Aviva just below 1K with most of the bits & pieces. Haven't checked for a remap at the moment but would be interesting to know what the difference would be Kind Regards Steve

Thanks for the really helpful replies. I have an audi guide for the 8y mmi connections that identify plugs and which pins to add so hopefully that will work. Coding very useful. Had vcds in the past but did not bother to replace after using the vin allocation on family cars but can do the same with obd11. Good thought to look at panel parts on ebay to see where clips go. Have some spare clips from a previous vw golf which seem to be the same as audi. Just got to find the time to take the plunge. Just for info audi want £860 to fit and most others are about £600.

FYI My channels are all back without me having to do the "update channel list". I hadn't deleted the unavailable channels though.

My phone works fine in bluetooth for calls etc thru radio...2012 q3 When try to put on google maps there are no instructions being said over music radio. My phone is samsung s22ultra

Personally I only get Audi to do a service so the car to has a full service main dealer history- i get all the other repairs - brakes, tyres etc at a local garage that I have used for years - far more reasonable pricing.

Sorry for the long post but just to mKake people aware- Audi in general are just a joke my car went in for diagnostic check because of radio was told it was to do with my windows being tinted as the antenna is on the back windscreen disgusied as 2 small copper wires, worse excuse ever i explained to them my car came with the tints and have had it well over a year and was clearly nothing to do with the windows being tinted as the radio juat randomly stopped working couple weeks back same as everyone elses, then explained i came across forums were other people were experiencing same issue but they just werent wantin to accept it was to do with them and not updating the chipsets or firmware etc, other work was also in the report after my vehicles healthcheck some advisories suggesting i have them done in 6 month time things like sparkplugs changed 3 new tyres and couple of other things, i gave them the go ahead to carry the work out just now so it was done, £1375 in total i paid and collected my car for my cars tyre pressure warning light to keep coming on which my car has never done and only started doing this since havinh it back from them and no tyres were losing pressure, so i took the car back to them for this to be looked at they basically checked all tyre pressures and reset the light which i told them i had already done and light would still come back on again few hours later so its not really solving the problem for them to tell me they were confident it would stay off this time and if it didnt to get it back in and theyd look into this further so upon going to collect my car again for the 2nd time i noticed my front alloy was all chipped and curbed really badly, wasnt like that when car was took into them so obviously happend when they road tested it to check the tyre pressure warning light was off, if i hadnt noticed this they would have happily sent me on my way but unlucky for them i inspect my car inside and out and its kept immaculate as i have really bad ocd so upon pointin this out to them i then had to request to speak to a manager and yes they were able to check pictures they took of my car as its protocol that they take photos of customers cars that go into them for work to be carried out upon arriving with them and they have took liability so they now have to send my wheel to their bodyshop for it to be all repsrayed so yeah my experience with audi has been absolutely shocking wish i didnt even take my car into them in the first place as it has caused nothin but hassle and my car now has problems that it didnt have prior to them doing work to it and my radio stations are all back working now, clearly misdiagnosed the problem with the radio aswell but still charged me 150 plus vat then 1375 for other work to be carried out by them disgraceful caused me nothing but stress and hassle and im now sitting carless they have offered me a courtesy car when one becomes available.
