Hi if as you say the lights are a British design you should be ok as they will comply with the road laws in this country, as for the washer system you wont have any as the original units were halogen, washer system not required, the manufacturers produce all bumpers with the caps for this function it saves making two types of bumper, those with and those without. Steve.

Hi David sorry to hear of your problem, unfortunately every consumable part in a car engine has a [how long is a piece of string] life expectancy but I am sure the new one will solve your problems. Steve.

Hey guys i own a 2018 sq7. On cold starts maybe 2/3 out of 5 of them the engine runs very lumpy/ rough for the first 30 seconds or so. I've spoken to a number of owners, all of whom are having the same issue and they are all too struggling to find the root cause. I've checked the codes and there are no error codes I'd really appreciate responses from people who have managed to resolve this issue. Can someone please help ? Thanks.

Thank you Steve

Tell the insurer. If the insurer tells you it makes no difference to your policy and premium you have lost nothing.

Well Graeme, if it goes past mid-August then I will start asking for my monthly PCP payment to be reduced until a proper fix is found and it is working to my satisfaction, and a credit made to my account for the payments I have already made. That should help focus their minds to resolving the issue. The whole matter is completely unacceptable and the Head Of Business has been told that in no uncertain terms.

C123EF0 - Hydraulic Brake Booster Limit Value Reached This code gets stored in the ABS unit permanently after the yellow light warning is repeated 20 times. Options I have found to fix this code The dealer quoted me £3000 to fix this code by replacing the ABS unit as it can't be re-programmed. The second option is sending your ABS to Ecutesting it costs around £300. Does anyone know if this code can be removed by re-flashing/ re-coding the unit via software such us ODIS, OBDeleven, VCDS or MPPS.

This is the fourth time you have posted the same message without any explanation, which to me looks like spam. Either you post your solution on the forum or I will ban you.

Thanks David. I was told by Audi UK last week that there was no software update planned until at least December.....the problem is who to believe !!

Q2 2025 would not be acceptable!! The Head Of Business of my dealership are told me by email last week and I quote:- We accept that there is fault on your MII system. Whilst it does operate and provide the systems it is designed to do, there is an issue with you being able to log onto your My Audi account, which results in the car not recognising your log in as being stored. As a consequence, anything you wish the MII to retain it does not. This issue has been reported to Audi UK and the fault is logged with them. We are currently awaiting a permanent fix for this issue, and once received we will of course resolve this for you. In a further email yesterday morning he tells me he was in contact with Audi on Monday and the fix was due in early to mid-August. I will keep you posted. Looking around online it seems various Audi car models have been having issues for a number of years. These are most probably different issues on older MMI systems to those we are experiencing. Best to concentrate on what are dealerships are telling us regarding our particular issue. Just treat what's online as 'hearsay' Once we have a fix it will need throughly testing.

2003 Audi A4 Convertible for restoration, please PM me if of interest.

We would accept £500-600.

Apparently it is a known fault. I had it on mine - took it for a Stage 1 and they updated the software from "version 1 to version 2", and it appears to have solved my judder. Also proving you don't need Audi to resolve this issue.

Andy. You're right, the turbo should last a lot longer than 5000 miles. Possibly the oil feed is not sufficient, though I would not know what to do about that. A question for you first: has the car or engine modified in any way for better performance?

Looks great,good luck with it,Dave Wise

Hello. Took the car to a mechanic today, sadly it's the turbo that's doing this noise and the problem with the acceleration.

Hi every manufacturer of components builds in obsolescence on that component the idea is the car producer makes money out of changing it at a later date, ECU testing identify the problematic chips on the control PCB and replace them with upgraded chips so they are more robust, the manufacturers ignore the weakness of such things as it generates money by them supplying the dealers with new units £££££. The clever bit is they replace the offending items on your unit whilst preserving its coding value, the main dealer won't do that as they can earn more money by re coding a new unit, anyone can code new units provided they have the correct software/diagnostic program to do it VCDS or OBD ELEVEN, please watch the video on youtube the engineers stations where the repairs are carried out are kitted out like the bridge of a starship, the units on our cars are a revolution in so much as they have a mechanical boost system built in to them as a failsafe if the electronic unit lets go, the units are solid state in so much as you can't separate the valve block from the control module, on older modules you could separate the two and just get a second hand control unit and just change it and recode, no where near enough profit from the dealers perspective. Steve.

Hi just had a gander on youtube ECU testing have a video about your problem with the same dtc apparently its a common problem and their solution is to remanufacture your own unit which would suggest that if you save the long coding for your unit once fitted it would be a case of using the original coding to activate it.

Hi my best advice is send it to ECU testing, you can try to reflash it but if you get it wrong it will cause a lot of other problems, no one wants to spend £300 but at least you get back a working unit and reinstalled use VCDS to purge the unit and re adapt it there are plenty of youtube how to videos. Steve.
