    Paul. Don't be too lavish with praise for Mercedes. It has joined the club of manufacturers throwing their customers under a bus. By the way, it is a timing belt, not a timer belt.

    Danny. If that is a true reading, although it does seem very low, I suggest the battery is clapped out because of an internal fault. It would be wise to get it professionally tested before splashing out cash on a new battery and ensure you get it coded to the car.

    How large is the overnight drain? A few dozen milliamps is normal. Have you any fitted any extra electrical equipment such as dashcam or satnav that may not be controlled by the ignition switch? If so, disconnect them and measure the drain again.

    I am a little puzzled by this topic. Are you buying a new water pump & timing belt because the cabin heater is not working?

    Matthew. Not casting aspersions on your particular code reader, but many are incapable of correctly reading Audi codes. It may pay you to get it done professionally, or to get a OBD11 reader which seems to be successful amongst knowledgable users here.

    Well it's progress of a sort. I hope it won't be long until the appointment.

    Brian was that done at no cost under the guarantee?

    Stephan. You won't get a reply from Rolling Steve. He has not been back to the forum since he wrote his question. You would do better to create your own topic in the hope that it might be answered by others.

    Do you often allow the battery to go flat? That alone might be responsible for the error message.
  10. cliffcoggin
    I imagine the MMI has to be coded to the car. The electrical mechanic who changed it should have done so.

    Glen. Relax, it does not refer to you. The comment above by Magnet was addressed to a post, which you can not see because it has been hidden, by a member calling himself Personal Opinion.

    James. I aplogise for the language and tone of the previous post. I have penalised the person concerned for that, and will hide all his posts.

    PO. The question was about the size of the blanking plate not where to buy exhaust pipes. By the way, it is a requirement to show an approximate location in your profile. Please amend it to show at least what county you are in.

    I have not done it myself, but anywhere that has a decent diagnostic device should be able to do it. That does not include the cheap code readers that most folk have at home.

    It's not you. The abandonment of proper road maintenance is a well recognised fact amongst all motorists, except perhaps in Wales. Whenever I cross the border from England the road surfaces instantly change to a higher standard.

    Possibly related to your other topic regarding the radio. Also please confirm you have had the new battery coded to the car.
  17. cliffcoggin
    A decent photo might help in identification.

    The extent of my electrical testing knowledge is to wriggle all the connections. Beyond that I can not help. Perhaps one of the wires you discarded as irrelevent is actually relevent after all.
  19. cliffcoggin
    As a driver of an electric pocket rocket I agree completely, yet most drivers of petrol cars are happy to sit on 12 gallon tanks of explosive fuel without a care in the world.
  20. cliffcoggin
    Ken. I don't know what the problem is, but a problem definitely exists judging by the behaviour you describe. If your Audi dealer can not, or will not, solve it I suggest you take it elsewhere before the guarantee expires, and notify the vendor that he will be charged for the repair.
  21. cliffcoggin
    Maybe so, but sentimental liking for a car does not increase its resale value. Having said that, perhaps Peter is not asking about its value. In fact it is not clear to me exactly what he is asking.
  22. cliffcoggin
    Did that include all earth connections?
  23. cliffcoggin
    Peter. It looks like you have pressed your CapsLock key. Please release it before responding again.
  24. cliffcoggin
    The possibilty of an insulation fault on a 400 volt battery is worrying. I hope all is well.

    If the jets have ball mountings you can move them with a pin in the nozzle.
