  1. Definitely most likely the weather. But feel free to get a diagnostic check or battery test for peace of mind.
  2. Thought it'd be the compressor
  3. If you have no paperwork to show it's had work done then there's a good chance it hasn't had the work done. Also I've just sent you a private message.
  4. Please keep us posted on how you get on.
  5. Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂
  6. Please keep us posted on how you get on. Fingers crossed it's a cheap fix 🤞
  7. Not necessarily as it depends on when the car wants to do a regeneration on the dpf. Unfortunately dog and egr issues are common problems on most modern diesels these days. Use the search function to see the different threads to see what I mean
  8. Definitely worth seeing what they say.
  9. Yes you could end up with blocked dpf with soot if the engine isn't run hot for long enough. I'd definitely advise a petrol in your case. Also I'm not sure what towns/cities you visit but diesel will be more of a problem if emissions zones are brought in.
  10. Has the battery been checked? Any fault codes for the gearbox? When was the gearbox last serviced?
  11. I can't recommend a garage but it sounds like the top might have shrunk.
  12. This could be caused by a failing thermostat
  13. I'd say a faulty compressor. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up
  14. First pic is a 2012 b9. Second pic is a 2012 b8. The grill is the big give away.
  15. Theres not a fly inside the car? Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up?
  16. I'm not sure but I'd recommend getting the car checked by an Audi specialist or an auto electrician
  17. No probs at all, from the fault code detected I wonder if the ECU is now defective.
  18. Have you tried a factory reset on the mmi?
  19. Wowsers. So basically it's not come with service history. Sounds like the previous owner is dishonest. If there's no proof of service history then I'd be getting a major service and gearbox service asap. Oil warning light could just be the oil pressure sensor. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up.
  20. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Keep us posted on how you get on, as you know your consumer rights hopefully all issues will be resolved.
  21. My advice would be to look at Volkswagens of a similar age such as the golf and Jetta as I bet they'd fit.
  22. Please keep us posted on how you get on
  23. If it were me I'd be trying to source one that's as close to my model year as possible and same engine if possible.
  24. Please keep us posted on how you get on
