Arnott are very experienced. My experience of them is air compressors on the a6 c5 and appear popular amongst owners when the Audi compressor units fail.

Hi Arnott are very clever in so much as their units carry uprated parts that are normally prone to failure on the O.E. parts fitted, if you get one its one of those things over time that you can actually see where the extra money went. Steve.

just thought I would update this so anyone else who gets this issue can see how it was fixed. replacing the brake servo pressure sensor didn’t fix my issue, however replacing one abs speed sensor on the front wheel did. nuts to think that a failed speed sensor could cause all those errors. Even driving to the garage it gave me a clutch malfunction, stop safely error. anyway, it’s fixed now….. until the next issue with this money pit 😳

Hi, you most certainly have a case and yes if you can run to it get a solicitor involved even if its only advice, it is indeed their problem as the car was not fit for purpose, as for Audi approved I wouldn't give an old snotty tissue for their idea of checks the AA are about the most honest and precise checkers of car faults as they have no allegiance to any dealer and by the sound of it a trained Ape would have spotted that fault, I have personally witnessed the obscene lack of attention to detail with their service plans, go in hard and fast while you still have the whip hand time wise and don't let them string you along, the uneconomical repair bullocks won't hold water as wether or not under sold won't come into it as they were happy with that price, they sold you a car that is defective and not as advertised so taking in your after purchase fiscal outlay you obviously intended to keep the car and want it put back to as advertised condition, they are not known as Audi main Stealers for nothing. Steve.

It's an emergency key. Most people remove them as thieves can break into your car and steal it if it's there.

Very good point. I mean the government cancelled the electricification of the railway so theyre not bothered imo as they can't make money from the public from it. I think fossil fuel vehicles will be around for longer then they claim. No way can the infrastructure be put in place in 8-9 years. I mean look how long any planning application takes (1-3 years) it's definitely not possible.

On the subject of replacing fossil fuels with alternatives, I don't see much written about the use of fossil fuels in commercial vehicles, lorries etc, diesel powered electricity generators which some rail engines use and all the diesel powered construction equipment such as cranes, dump trucks etc. The first I have seen was the initial post with the JCV chairman, so at least someone is considering. I have no data one way or another but I would not be surprised to see the greatest user of fossil fuel for transport is not the private user of vehicles. Anyone know the answer, never once in all the discussions on the shortage of lorry drivers recently has the subject of electric goods vehicles been mentioned.

Hi Went to the Audi dealership for my Ad Blue, guess what, "out of stock" Might have it in before Christmas, give us a ring. Some members may know I am a part time driver for a multi franchise dealer. So I went to the stores. "Got any Ad Blue?" Of course, was the reply, I could do 20 litres for £20.00 to you. Do you want it put in? Yes please. Anyway 10 minutes later job done. It took 15 litres so I was pleased I bought the 20 litres. Should have gone there in the first place. While I was there got a job delivering a new car to Leeds on Friday, so, money in the bank as well. Tony
