Well I would never thought that!

I believe it should be.

Glad you got this sorted Andy 🙂 Cheers Steve

Very good question, I'm not entirely sure on that one.

You're welcome 🙂

I know it's does on the a3 a d the q2 is very similar to that. It's definitely worth speaking with Audi

I think it's an automatic function. If it wasn't working then I suspect it would be working on some doors and not others. Let's face it, it's one less thing to go wrong. Hope you're happy with your a8🙂

Glad it has. Might be worth getting a diagnostic check to see if there are any stored fault codes.

My advice would be to get the battery tested to see if it's on its way out as batteries can cause electronic issues. In failing that you could get a diagnostic check carried out as the fault code will be stored on the ECU. Could be a dpf issue. But I'm guessing

If econ button stays on then the aircon isn't working properly. You could get a diagnostic check carried out or a regas abd leak test done.

Welcome to the forum Milo, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 My brother, and friends have fitted Powerflow exhausts to their vehicles and I can strongly recommend them. You can choose the sound and diameter you wish. Cheers Steve

As you've diagnosed it as the EGR my advice would be looking to replace that.

My rough knowledge, I believe if the battery is the identical spec it won't need coding.

Oh of course. Sorry, being silly. You might need to change the loom to both rear lights.

I bet! Totally agree, life's too short to grow up 😉 Think you've done the right thing. Better to get a clean s4 rather than a scruffy S6.

If you're still locked out then you might need to get the AA to get into it.

Diesel allroads are more common, but petrol ones do exist, but only in 2.0TFSI only. I do not believe they are all air suspension though, I thought it was an option. I think these videos might help: Cheers Steve

I agree, I think you don't want to go over 18" wheels if you don't want to affect ride height too much.

You're welcome

Another Cannonball Record: 25 Hours, 39 Minutes from N.Y.C. to L.A. The drivers who set the November 2019 Cannonball record have bested their own achievement with an average speed of 112 mph. There's a new record in Cannonball land: Drivers Arne Toman and Doug Tabbutt announced today that they completed the cross-country drive from New York City to Los Angeles in 25 hours, 39 minutes, narrowly beating a claimed "sub-26-hour" record publicized in May and besting their own record of 27 hours, 25 minutes that was announced in November 2019. Toman and Tabbutt's November attempt kicked off a spate of copycat record-chasers, many of whom took advantage of reduced traffic during COVID lockdown to set cross-country times that would seem impossible under normal driving conditions. An unnamed trio wedged a giant auxiliary fuel tank in the trunk of an Audi A8 and claimed a 26 hour, 38 minute record in April, and in June, Fred Ashmore took a rental Ford Mustang GT crammed full of fuel tanks to a 25 hour, 55 minute solo record. In a press release, Toman and Tabbutt claim that five new records have been set since their November 2019 run. Toman and Tabbutt's most recent record seems to have been a spur-of-the-moment decision. In April, Toman's 2015 Mercedes E63—the highly modified car that set the record in November 2019—was badly damaged when a truck crashed into it while it was parked on the side of a highway. Toman replaced it with a 2016 Audi S6, quickly modifying it for Cannonball duty over the course of just a few days. Cannonball Record-Setting Audi S6: 25 Hours 39 Minutes from NYC to LA Vehicle modifications include a 45-gallon trunk-mounted fuel cell and visual changes, like a reshaped front grille with a decoy badge to make the Audi resemble a Ford Taurus-based Police Interceptor when viewed from a distance. The record was set in early May. The drivers left NYC's Red Ball Garage—the traditional Cannonball starting point—at 6:00 p.m. to cover most of the Midwest at night. Toman claims that they were able to leave Manhattan in just four and a half minutes, and says that the entire trip required five fuel stops totaling 31 minutes. All in, the team claims a moving average speed of 112 mph, or 110 mph including fuel stops. Top speed reached on the run was 175 mph. The team says they were never stopped by police, thanks in part to a network of scouts coordinating with them. https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a33656042/cannonball-record-broken-25-hours-39-minutes-from-nyc-to-la/

Glad you're enjoying the drive 🙂 any excuse when you've got a car like that 👍

Welcome to the forum. I believe youll need the French rear light units

If short journeys I'd say petrol. For service history is a must. And at the price range u suspect the cambelt/water pumps will need changing. So check to see if it's been done. Make sure gear changes are smooth and not jerky.

Sounds like it's in limp mode. Or the turbo could be on the way out?
