Hi. Battery seems fine. Charging at 14.7 constantly. I think it was a glitch wouldn't start jump start got me going then 3 days later startered first time.

Cheers. Tell me about old 911 electrics you get in turn the engine on and hope you don't get a burning smell 😂😂😂 hope your wife doesn't try to open the door as you press the unlock key as that jams the locks hope the cold hasn't seized up the immobiliser contacts and hope the battery hasnt just died (annual occurrence) Much as I loathe Halfords ill give them a visit. And take the advice of the rescue bloke turn the stop start off and buy a normal battery.

Lol I drove porsche 911s for 25 years I constantly check the alternator with a 12v socket plug in as 911 batteries die at short notice. Engine starts 12.3v after 30secs it's up to 14.7v but after half an hour it drops to about 13.5v.then goes back up after a while. I'll get the battery checked but I think it's something else it's too inconsistent. A dead battery boosted for 10 mins that starts 3 days later doesn't make sense to me. It's been fine since then.

Because it's now working fine. Driven 100 miles today started fine multiple times. After it went 'flatt' was charged enough to drive 10 mins. Started fine 3 days later.

Hi. I drove 90 miles. Stopped. Engine wouldnt turn over, message screen said all sorts of things wouldn't work. Got a call out from a mechanic, jump started the car. Ran for 10 mins to get me half a mile to where I wanted to be. I could jump start from there to get home. Alternator is pushing 12.3-14.7. After 10 mins on jump start 3 days later tried starting engine worked straightaway. Has worked fine ever since. It's not the battery Is it the computer? If so can I reboot iir?

Hi. I've plugged my Samsung A52 into the console USB connection. First time, it said, do you want to use android Auto, great, I clicked yes. The voice came up and the map came up on the panel. I did something as I was in a service station, probably pressed back on the phone again. That was the ever I heard from Android Auto. I tried plugging the phone back in. But it ignored it. It came up as charging so lead was fine. I've been into Connection nanaget, it say my phone is primary phone. Woopidee. It gives me useless options. I went into my phone, shut down android auto and restarted, but the car refuses to engage in Android Auto. The in car NAV is (ahem) cow excrement, no traffic adjustments. Today a 29 mile motorway drive came up as 35 mins. Android Maps was 2 hrs. It took 2 hrs. I want Android Auto not Audi WasteOfSpace My wife's 1 year older fiesta has a 10x better satnav with traffic updates.

Hi. I've got this message. Car is 19 plate, about 28k miles. I've got the inspection due message. I got an ODBEleven dongle, pro pack as it wouldn't let me reset useful values with free one. I've gone into dashboard, reset every option that looked possible, miles since last inspection type to 10 miles, time to next inspection things to 99,900. Every option with minimun/maximum miles I've set. I've turned it off and on and the values have stuck. But it still comes up Inspection due. Can anyone suggest what I've done wrong or missed please? Cheers Johnny

Hi. I'm not an Audi owner yet but I've decided that my next car will be an S4/5. Is there a forum here where I can ask which is best and which models to avoid/go for? Cheers
