    firstly i dont have any codes or management light on the dash.is it worth the hassle of of removing the egr/cooler to clean it up to improve miles per gallon.is it a big job too getting to the inlet valves to clean them out regards stephen

    hi and welcome.....would you think having a diagnostic check for codes may help.....good luck if you need to change the thermostat.i had a right job getting the thermostat out in such a tight space.(thermostat sealed in a plastic casing)....i ended up taking the alternator off to get to it.then you try getting the pipe back on that runs to the right of the thermostat for the coolant to run through.check for leaks in that area once its all back together best wishes stephen

    my old auid a4 2011 parcel shelf was not sitting right in place and making a knocking noise. so a few squirts of the smelly WD40 and massaging the mechanism on the parcel shelf for 15 minutes or so sorted itsorry i have no idea about an a5 2018 but this could be the problem...now sits in place and no knocking

    it performs its function but audi says charge it up the stop start is not performimg like it should and when i put the snap on to check things it says please ensure that the battery of the vehicle is kept above 12.75 volts.... so i am losing communication with the car when trying to check for any codes/faults.not tried an audi independent gareth.regards stephen
  18. alpha omega
    no gareth

    i bought a brand new(supposedly), halfords stop/start battery from ebay i took it to audi but they could not code it to the car.so i went to halfords and said it would cost a £100 to code it to the car.so i left it.

    it seems a common fault...is this the video to do this. ....it says make sure you have an 8m spline bit read the rest of the first comment too.i have read also that the fault can be caused by the main door lock too.but dont quote me on this.

    hi,did you end up taking the egr out in the end and cleaning it.if yes what cleaning agent did you use. any pictures as i was going to have a go myself at some point as i know the holes can get blocked even though nothing has appeared on the dash.just a precaution thanks
