Glad you've narrowed it down 🙂

Exciting stuff! Keep.us posted on how you get on buddy 🙂

No I don't unfortunately, abd I did do a Google search and search through the forums. As it seems to be a wiring issue, it's worth checking all of it both sides just in case there's signs of potential issues with other parts of it.

That fits. Here's googles interpretation: OBD Code P2149 - Fuel Injector Group 'B' Supply Voltage Circuit/Open. This OBD-II code is defined as a Fuel Injector Group "B" Supply Voltage Circuit/Open, it is set by the Powertrain Control Module of the vehicle.

So true Gareth. I'm sure it would make interesting reading!

Apologies hasn't realised it was generic. Should have put my glasses on to read it properly lol. You could always speak to Audi service department to find out

This type of oil is what you need. Not used it personally though. https://m.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/gearbox-oil-and-transmission-oil-11915/audi/a5/a5-8t3

No probs.

I'm lucky I've got a good body shop local. Will have a look at sourcing new doors

No probs, sorry I can't help more

It's the same here in the uk to be honest. I do hope you get to the bottom of it. I would recommend a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up

An age-old motoring stereotype might have been laid to rest by government data which shows the types of cars that have been involved in the most crashes on British roads. According to figures from the Department for Transport, the Vauxhall Zafira has been involved in the most accidents, given the number registered on the roads - but the biggest revelation could be found further down the table. The figures have also revealed that BMW drivers have significantly more crashes in the UK than Audi drivers. In fact, the Ingolstadt marque, which pioneered Quattro all-wheel-drive technology and made waves on the world rally scene, emerged as one of the least-crashed cars in Britain, with fewer than 200 accidents for every 10,000 cars on the road. Compare this to BMW drivers, who have something of a reputation for forgetting their indicators, and it has been revealed that fans of the Bavarian brand have been involved in 297 accidents per 10,000 cars registered. The figures, which were gleaned under the Freedom of Information Act by Rivervale Leasing, set out the BMW 3-Series as the fifth most crashed car on UK roads. According to the data 17,215 accidents involved the popular family saloon, and there are 578,674 registered in the UK. Three Vauxhall models top the list - the Zafira, Astra and Corsa came in first, second and fourth place altogether. With 34,300 accidents across all Audi models, and a total of 1,783,064 Audi cars on the road, Audi came in 10th in the list of the 10 most-crashed manufacturers. Vauxhall came out on top, and the next most-crashed brand was Renault. Peugeot came third in the top 10 manufacturers. So it would appear that, statistically speaking, Audi drivers are safer drivers than BMW drivers. Maybe the old BMW indicator jokes weren't so far off the mark after all.

Wings are well known problem on vag cars of this era. I need mine looking at again. Yea the doors a worry for me too and dread the thought of getting a replacement door.

I'm sure keys are around £300 from Audi, but that could be a pair. They have to be specially ordered from Germany if I'm not mistaken.

You're welcome, fingers crossed for you 🤞

Just see what your local motorfactors recommends. Don't go for the cheapest though. You could always try Audi?

Very nice. My family have owned my a6 from new. My dad then me. That's it, they take a lot to maintain which makes it harder to get rid of them. Mines got sentimental value now though.

Engine

AC Motor Services in Syston Leicester have been great with my a6 a d have done all repairs to it since the car was 3 years old.

From google: "P1249 Meaning The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies voltage to each fuel injector on the injector high voltage supply circuits. ... When a fuel injector circuit condition is detected by the ECM, the affected fuel injector(s) is disabled".

Looks lovely 😊 rarer in 3 door form 👍 how long you owned it?

Definitely try another dealer. As I had a bad experience with one Ford garage for my Ford kuga daily (Audi is in semi retirement) abd had to go to another dealer to get good service. Regarding the chrome trim, what car wash was it? I ask as some hand car washers use certain acids not designed to be used on cars. Ironic you say that about the Mondeo as a fellow member has just bought one
