  1. Hi Gary, I have the diesel model and it does have the mhev. It will carry out the intelligent coasting if you have the air con off and will only cut the engine when the start/stop is turned off also. You'll only notice it by the rev counter going down to "ready" then if you press the accelerator the engine will restart and return to normal running. Hope this clears up your query 😀
  2. Hi Frankie, difficult to pinpoint fault without seeing anything. If your able to remove inner door and have a look at the connection between inner door handle and the lock mechanism. It's possible the cable between them has broke or has come loose somehow. Good luck, let us know how you get on 🙂
  3. Just had a quick look around online and it seems to be USA and Canadian models with the recall. Not sure if this is the case but I shall certainly ask next time I'm passing an Audi dealer.
  4. Hi Mick, I couldn't say if it's been done or not. I wasn't aware there was a recall for that but will check with Audi the next time I'm in and will let you know. I got my 4 wheel alignment done by an independent Audi specialist so I would have thought they may have mentioned it but maybe not. It all seems fine now though.
  5. Hi Gareth, sorry for the delayed reply. When I got new tyres fitted by Kwik fit, I had noticed that the steering wheel was slightly off centre afterwards, no idea why but I managed to get the 4 wheel alignment done by an independent Audi specialist and it's now all okay :). I was looking for the Audi settings just as a reference point as my mate has basic wheel alignment equipment. Cheers James
  6. Hi Gareth, I didn't think the tyres were unevenly worn but the nearside tyre was more worn than the offside, only because they weren't changed at the same time previously. Current mileage is just over 18000mls. My issues all started after the two front tyres were changed at Kwik fit and the guy said we do a free wheel alignment check, so i stupidly said that's fine, carry on. Really wish I had told them to leave well alone. When he came back to me afterwards and said it did need adjustment, front and rear, I asked how long would it take and what cost, wait for it..... told me 10 mins and £116.00, so I said don't bother, there's no way that can be done properly in 10 mins. Any other places I've spoke to said it takes about an hour to do a 4 wheel alignment properly. After I got the car home, I changed the two front wheels with the new tyres on to the rear with the slightly more worn tyres now on the front but they're good tread too. I noticed after a couple of days that the steering wheel was slightly off centre. I was looking for Audi settings as my mate has alignment gauges and was going check to see what was wrong. Anyhow, I've now got it booked in at a local Audi specialist who have the Hunter 4-wheel alignment system which seems to be the best/latest and these guys do know how to use it lol so I'll see how I get on with them and let you know how it all goes. Cheers James
  7. Can anyone help with any notes on the wheel alignment settings for my 2020 A6 2.0 TDi FWD model. Also, can anyone recommend a decent company that knows what they're doing with getting the 4 wheel alignment set up.
  8. Thanks for reply mate. I ordered the sensor, same part number and for the sake of 20 quid (£19.85) to be exact lol. Have just got in from work and the sensor arrived today so just popped it in and it's worked a treat 🙂 much appreciated mate, saved me a whole lot of hassle, money and possibly a sweaty weekend 😂
  9. Hi Stewart, glad you got it sorted. How did you know it wasn't working, was there any other signs or was it just blowing warmer air? Just about a week ago I noticed my air con wasn't as cold as normal and then put it on yesterday and it's not cold at all. I thought it may need a re-gas but now thinking could it just be this sensor?
  10. Hi Gareth, thanks. Me too, it did cause me a bit of a headache initially but with a bit of research and various testing I got there in the end, thankfully at not too much expense. It's always good to try and help someone out if they're having the same problems so hopefully some people will benefit from this post. I don't see the point in saving just a few pounds if you can get genuine parts at affordable prices. They're generally better quality and with the likes of sensors which work on very small tolerances it's a must. Cheers James
  11. Did you get this issue sorted?
  12. UPDATE. Just a bit of info. These sensors seem to be a common problem, if your getting this same fault code then I'd look at these first. I'm sure it was just the one sensor that was faulty but I replaced both just to save any hassle in future. (Not saying this is going to be the cause on all occasions but it's certainly the cheaper option) I got both genuine VWAG sensors for £65 on Ebay 🙂 compared with Audi wanted £72 each. Also managed to get the adaption done in VCDS by going in to Engine then Basic Settings and there's a drop down menu in there. Hope this helps anyone with same problem.
  13. Thanks Lee, all seems ok so far and the car is going great, actually feels more responsive since I changed the sensors. The vcds set up as great, but there's a lot to learn as there's so much you can do with it. I don't really do many short journeys so I was doubtful it was the DPF. That's a good tip though as it should help keep the system running better. Thanks again for your help.
  14. Hi Lee, Thanks for your reply but I've decided not to bother with it. It wasn't so much about the extra power but more about the driveability and possible fuel consumption. I really enjoy the car and it's got enough power and tbh, the fuel consumption is pretty decent so after thinking about it for a bit, I didn't see much point of putting out that money. Since you seem like a knowledgeable guy, could you possibly help me with another issue? I had an EML on with the error code P2002 which is Diesel particulate bank 1, Efficiency below threshold. I have since replaced the DPF sensor & Exhaust pressure sensors (both same parts) cleared the faults with vcds and it seems ok since last week, No EML,,,,,🙊 yet. Do I need to adapt or code the new sensors with vcds and how do I do it?
  15. Have been searching online for a workshop service/repair manual of some sort, pdf or book. There's lots of different ones available, mainly downloads but not sure what one to go with. Don't mind paying good money for a decent one. Has anyone bought a decent manual that they can recommend?
