VAG specialists, that's the keyword. Thanks.
-
I'm looking for the nearest independent audi garage that can look after my Audi A1, I'm in the East Hampshire area. Audi dealership charges £200 a hour. Thanks, Alex
-
It's particularly surprising given the Teutonic attitude to quality. 😞
-
You may be right, I'll get it replaced. But I still think we should be able to repair these things rather than put into the landfills 😞
-
eurocarparts sells replacements for about £170. Gawd knows what my friendly local garage will charge. I've just seen a video where someone extracts the wiper motor, disassembles it, pops the gears out of it and puts it in vinegar for a day or so, and it's fixed with some grease. Has anyone tried that and had positive results?
-
Yeah I probably will have a look at it tomorrow see if it's something I can sort easily before I refer it to my friendly local garage. Thanks
-
It stopped working a few days ago and I can hear it whining when I try to turn it on. What's likely to be wrong with it?
-
The mystery is solved! It was a faulty hearing aid! Had that blasted thing bleeping today all the way to Kent from Hampshire. I'm deaf and wear hearing aids. Good news, I'm due for replacement in a few months' time. Sammie's in fine health! ❤️
-
Ok thanks. No, I'm aware it's best to check the pads and discs as well.
-
I've done 2000 miles now. The oil level is now on the high mark on the dip stick. Mind you I think the previous owner slightly overfilled it as it was 5mm above the high mark.
-
My previous BMW had brake wear sensors, does the Audi A1 1.4 (2016) have these as well? Thanks,
-
Fixed. Car was in and out within 2 hours! Happy that it's now locked down.
-
I'm used to BMW level cost of repairs! 😛
-
Happened again on the way home from Kent. Kept beeping until I was half way home, then it stopped! Weird!
-
Faulty locking mechanism. They're replacing it on Monday. £130, not bad.
-
I've had a look on the forum but I've not yet had the chance to look at the fuel cap recess! I will, soon and get back to you.
-
Is the fuel cap flap supposed to be locked when I lock up the car? Locked the car and I could still open the fuel cap flap?! if it's not lockable, is it possible to retrofit something to lock the cap when I lock the car? Many thanks, Alex
-
Beeping came back last Friday but no new fault codes. WTF?
-
ODBEleven dongle arrived yesterday and I've done a scan. These popped up: 01 Engine Trouble codes: P030000 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected Intermittent P030100 - Cyl.1 Misfire Detected Intermittent P030400 - Cyl.4 Misfire Detected Intermittent P130A00 - Hide cylinder Intermittent 19 Gateway Trouble codes: 03041 - Energy management active Intermittent I've cleared them and taking the car for a run later today to see if they return.
-
Yes, I've put an OBeleven on order. Should be with me Monday and then I can see for myself what's going on with Sammie.
-
Happened again today. Good weather so it can't be the weather. Maybe it's a faulty parking sensor? Would it beep constantly like this? It's driving me bananas.
-
I thought it had gone away but it's back today.. Keeps beeping loudly every few minutes, I think it might be something to do with the Steptronic because when I put it into D from P, the beep is exactly the same. I haven't seen any warning lights or warning messages on the dash display? Is there a SUPER SEEKRIT option to view warning messages? Or it might be the voice activated system, it might be beeping loudly because it's not understanding me ? Is there way to permanently disable the voice activation if that's the issue?!?!?
-
Oh, I hadn't thought of doing that! I'll do that next time I head out.
-
Any recommendations for reading the fault codes off my 1.4 TFSI? I thought I'd save myself some pennies and get to the bottom of what's causing the occasional loud beeping sound.
-
Just had Sammie (the car) beeping very loudly every and then during driving. I've checked the doors, nothing on seats, no warning lights, no messages on the cockpit display. What on earth could she be beeping very loudly about!?
