No probs at all, it's the best show of the season in my opinion 🙂 There will be more shows outlined once I've got more details of them 🙂

If it's the garage you've bought it off telling you this then I'd suggest getting a second opinion from another garage. If a fault is found them the garage that sold it to you should fix the issue free of charge

Thank you, you too 🙂

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Would be great to see you at the shows. Take a look at the events section for the up and coming shows we're attending.

From the admin team we would like to wish a Happy New Year to all our members 🎉✨🎊 Thank you for your ongoing support and contributions over the last year, it's greatly appreciated 😊 May your 2023 be prosperous happy and healthy!!

I will finish off by saying that everyone of our members contributions and support over the last year is highly appreciated and I look forward to speaking to you in 2023 and let's make the audiownersclub.com the best it's ever been.

No probs at all 🙂 definitely worth seeing when gearbox oil was changed regardless

Definitely could be an injector or camshaft sensor maybe?

Try reprogramming the key via this YouTube video: Also if you have a spare key you could try and use that, as it might help narrow down whether the issue is with the key or the car. If that doesn't work then I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

Manual or auto? If auto then I'd look to see when the gearbox oil was last changed as this can sometimes affect the gear changes. If it's a manual you could look at the gear linkages

Regardless of engine service history is key. Either car should have had a Cambelt and water pump change. Also check that the Audi gearbox has been serviced. In addition, make sure that the quattro system has been serviced and that the tyre tread is even on tyres on the same axle. As uneven tyre wear can damage the quattro system. Air suspension can fail and the compressors or bags aren't cheap. Also make sure all electrical items work as most components such as AC compressors etc can be expensive to replace. I'd also recommend looking at buyers guides on YouTube

That makes sense. And yep it should have been checked when Cambelt was fitted. However in the situation I had, the lower pulley became very loose due to the connecting parts wearing.

The joys 😁 f auto correct 🤦‍♂️ should say pulleys. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. It should have said pulleys. Apologies

Could it have been remapped?.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Also worth checking the fuse.

You're as you g as you feel!

Yea I believe it should work. Obviously your light is younger than that ending in H but I couldn't say how much older.

Just bumping this thread. Are there any shows members would like to attend? I know we had a club display at the Bromley pageant of motoring last year for example.

Great day at Caffeine and machine with great friends and fellow members Jack Phillips Tristan Atkins-Rees and Ronan Quinn 🙂

Not had a good few memes in a while 😉

It could be an injector or glowplug/sparkplug or coilpack issue. You could get a diagnostic check.

The dealer you bought it from should fix this FOC within 30 days of the vehicle sale. Definitely needs a diagnostic check

It needs a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be a software fault or sensor fault. Audi should be sorting this FOC as it's been raised within the first 30 days of sale

That's a cracking price really!

Could it be an air pocket Instead? Issue with the heater matrix or thermostat?

Thank you so much 😊🙏 at least I'm on the right lines.
