Sorry i apoligise. I was chatting to steve myself for a while about my A5. Sorry again.

Hi. A5 sport, 67 plate. 60,000. Needed new adblue pump and pressure sensor. Ive traded it in. I no longer have the pile of s..t

The pump is not seperate. You have to buy new tank at the cost of £1000. Then presure sensor, vat on parts and labour cost. The mondeo drives a 1000,000 times better. Audi was too expensive. After the adblue stuff it would of been something else. A money pit.

Hi steve. Needed new pressure sensor and adblue pump. Going to cost about £2000 to put right all in. I got rid. Traded in for 17 plate mondeo. That audi was a shed. It looked nice but mechanicly it was run in to the ground.

Hi steve. I just wanted to let you know after starting my car the last 3 times, no adblue warning beep and no yellow spanner. But the engine management light stayed on. Then on the way to liverpool the eml went out too. So it looks like adblue level has dropped and everything has now reset itself. It was a good sign yesterday the countdown going up instead of down. So i wont be doing that again. Next time i get warning im just putting 10lts in cos i know from first time that was ok. Cheers for everything. Take care. Bye. Terry.

Hi steve. Its give me the 650 mile countdown from 600 but im still getting the adblue beep and warning on my dash when i press start button. But im going to liverpool today for a few days. 80 mile round trip so should lower the level of adblue and see were im at sunday when i get home. Thanks again mate. Appreciated. It is a good sign that the countdown went back up to 650 from 600. I reckon its still showing overfilled and im hoping that when the level goes right down itll be right again. Speak to you soon bud. Take care.

Hi steve. I just wanted to run this past you from today for your take on it. Yesterday i was on a 600 mile countdown and now after being out in the car for a bit, when i started my car it was showing the max 650 mile countdown??? Weird. Do you make anything of that? Maybe once i get level sensor reset if i can it will all go back to as it was. For some reason its gone back to maximum miles.

Hi Steve. Yeah i was looking at the 3 vin ross. I think its priced at £225. On the computer side of stuff, im ok with all that as i build my own gaming pcs. So on the software side nonproblem and i have a decent laptop running windows 11. It may be something i will look into once i sort my current issue out. I have decided to take your advice and leave getting the adblue system irradicated. It will probably make things worse down the line. That was always my worry anyway. The safety and longivity of it all. So im just gunna wait for my original app at the garage that scanned it yesterday and see if they can sort it. Ill know more after that. I still have 600 miles. Thats a long time for me. Just want to say thanks very much for ykur time and knowledge. I will let you know either way how it ends. Take care and thanku. Terry.

So you think im maybe best looking at buying the vcds myself? Is that what your saying stevie? Ive just looked at the procedure for resetting adblue fill sensor. It took all of 10 secs. Is there one you could reccomend me look at mate. Cos i may see that as an option. Someone wanted £30 on gumtree just to scan it. You have been a great support for me on here and i know your clued up amd know what ya talking about. If i get this sorted i owe ya a BIG DRINK!!! Yeah if there is a name of 1 you can rec for me to look into buying i may do that. Its only a plug isnt it and then were do i get the vcds software? Do i have to pay for that too?

Best news ive heard since the start of it steve. Everything was fine till i overfilled it. So i hope your right with the reset stuff. What do you think of this ablue removal thing. It is being offered online for £400. But i know someone who knows someone who will do it for £200. What is your input on this? Is it safe, does it work? I can have it done friday and they say no more adblue issues again!!! Im not booked in garage for the scan etc till next wed and im now on 600 mile countdown. I dont want to rush into something and be even more in a rabbit hole. Thanks steve. If i knew someone who had the vcds system id try that first but i dont.

Cheers for the advice mate. Its proper doing my head in.

Thanks very.much steve for the info mate. Im sure if it is 1 or 2, but do know he pointed that reductant tank out off the list when he printed it all out. I wont be paying no grand for it anyway i know that. Cars on pcp 4 year lease. Ill either give it back or burn it. One or the other. As you can probably imagine im well pd off. Ive just spent 600 quid on 4 new tyres and a new battery. If i did get adblue tank done it would only be something else after that. See what the findings deffo are next week when he has more time with it. All i know b4 i overfilled the system was fine. Thanks anyway .

Hi steve. One of them was the reluctant heater. I remember him saying. He has said he needs more time to go over stuff on the scan side. Its booked in for wednesday. Cant believe overfilling a tank would give me all this.

Hi all. I have overfilled my adblue tank and now cannot get rid of the 650ml yellow spanner warning. I have tried turning ign on, waiting 30 sec and starting. Won't work. The adblue system was fine till i overfilled. I thought after level drops sensor would reset itself but to be honest i dont do that much mileage to see if that will work. Could i use a syphen hose and get some out that way maybe? Its doing my head in hearing that beep everytime i turn ign on. Any help on this would be amazing. Had it scanned today and mech was chatting maybe needs new tank. Cars only 67 plate. Surely not. £1000.

Hi everyone. I have overfilled my adblue tank and now cannot get rid of the 650 mile yellow spanner warning. Ive tried turning ign on, waiting 30 secs and then starting car. Does not work. Adblue system was fine till i overfilled. Can anybody help me out please. Audi A5. 67 plate ultra sport. 2 door coupe model. Thanks.
