Have you had a diagnostic check carried out? It could be a wiring issue.
-
Could you upload some pics of the corrosion. Either way I think you should t expect rust on a two year old car in today's day and age. Bare in mind if the garage repaint/sort the rust you will get 12 months warranty on the work carried out with a main dealer. Or you should do.

I think the lights are also controlled by door pins. Which activate the lights when the doors are opened. These can fail over time.
-
Exactly. Any stripping of a gearbox internals is very expensive.

I'm sure I read a similar post that indicated that it becomes greyed out if the subscription has expired

Good plan 🙂
-
Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 if it's an SD card type then they can be bought off eBay.
-
Have you got wet carpets?
-
No probs at all. There's a similar one called breaker link which I've also used.
-
Glad that's all it was 🙂

I believe the version in your car is the revised version. I believe when they do an update on the part they change the letter. Hypothetically it should fit. Also bare in mind it might need coding to the car.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Have a look in the search section for what you're looking for. Usually the roofs fail to open/close due to a failed pump or wiring. But sometimes it can be something as simple as something caught behind the rear seats preventing it from opening.

This could be a module or sensor failure. Think you'll need a diagnostic check.
-
Have you checked you haven't got any wet carpets? As I believe the CCM is under the passenger footwell. When it gets wet it causes All sorts of electrical issues.
-
Yep it'll need programming to the car. I guess the cheaper alternative is an aftermarket upgrade. The prices of the genuine headunits is ridiculous.
-
Has the garage looked at the spark plugs, coil packs, maf, camshaft sensors ect. These links might help: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/1-8-tfsi-error-code-p0304-misfire-p130a-cylinder-disabling.224701/ https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/a3-1-4-tfsi-2013-cylinder-2-4-misfire-please-help.400579/

You'll need to get it activated at Audi. Expect to pay around £500.
-
I guess the £500 is like your standard aftermarket towbar which have been perfectly adequate for years. The.key questions you need to get answered is whether it's a fixed or detachable towbar. As well as if it's a swan neck type etc. I believe the genuine Audi ones are made by westfalia.
-
You might need to get an auto electrican or key specialist out. If the car has immobilised itself then it definitely needs a specialist
-
Hi Luke, might be worth you putting a want ad on 24/7 spares. I know how hard it is to source parts for older Audi's. I'm having similar problems with getting parts for my c5.

Thank you 😊 -
Have you checked to see if there's a wire loose under the passenger seat as this used to be quite a common issue on VAG cars.
-
Is it the ea189 recall? If so my advice would be to get the car remapped to get rid of the software update they've done. If it is this recall it's because of the emissions scandal. Some engines were just a software update whereas others had a software update plus an additional bit added to the engine either in the air intake or turbo. I worked at Volkswagen service department when these recalls were done daily. I certainly wouldn't recommend this recall on any VAG car. Here's a long thread about it:

Is the s line one different? If so you might need the matching centre console too.

Does anyone know of any reasonably priced accomodation in the New forest? I'm shocked at the increased price of hotels.
