im glad you got the issue sorted

yes its a 2015 A5 2.0 tdi,that was about six months ago and the car is fine since then

i think steve is right,a friend of mine had the same sympoms as you and it was the control unit that needed replacing,it was under the carpet behind the drivers seat.Greg

hi chris,the only issue ive had really is water getting into the rear light fittings,which is a common fault on these,replacement bulb holders are getting very scarce too so check yours for corrosion and see what condition theyre in,make sure the waterdrains on both sides of the boot are clear of any dirt,this will allow rain water to flow away rather than sit in the boot rubber and seep into the taillight cluster.Greg

welcome to the forum,lovely car,ive the same model for the last 9 years so feel free to ask any questions and ill help if i can.Greg

😂

i also have a 2014 a5,no problem except i had to replace the egr cooler,cost 450 euro inc labour,a great car to drive.Greg

very nice car,the best of luck with it.Greg

well done,a good result

hi cliff.id say hes talking about the high pressure fuel pump.Greg

the car needs to be plugged into vcds to reset inspection interval.Greg

its been a very interesting thread to follow,im looking forward to seeing it finished,youve really done great work on it

a tip is to remove the wheel and wheel arch lining on the side you are doing and loosen the wing around the headlight,it doesnt take too long and its well worth doing it to avoid scratching the new headlight

hi jim,yes its a simple plug in and play,i recently replaced headlight on my a5,it was 720 euro,theyre not a cheap unit.Greg

very very nice car,the best of luck with it.Greg

hi pete yes the glass needs to be removed and some small screws to remove the cowl,its fiddly and a delicate job but can be done easily,check out a you tube video before you start.Greg

neil is right,its an immobiliser and if its still wired the car wont start until you put a little fob up to it.i had the same thing in an xr4i.

hi alan id say get the compressor checked.greg

im glad you got sorted,best of luck with it for the future.greg

hi richard welcome to the forum.thats a nice avant,the best of luck with it.greg

very interesting,ill have a look at mine and keep ye posted,thanks

hi francis,ive the same engine in my coupe and i changed the cold start valve on mine,it definitely improved it but i do get the same problem as you when the engine is cold,is yours ok once it warms up?

very nice car,best of luck with it.Greg

ah it could have been a lot worse,at least no other vehicle was involved so its probably a cheap lesson

i can see why it was 1100,it looks like a very professional repair in fairness.it wont happen him again hopefully! Greg
