I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

At least you can rule out the battery. It might be worth getting a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

You'll need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. But I'd say it could be the megatronics unit.

I believe so.

Ah apologies

Well done for having a look. Glad carpets are dry and no mayo. Yep separate systems. The AC system will leak water out to some degree. Glad you've got a warranty. You keep putting pressure on the dealer to sort. Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Sorry I missed this. So glad you've got it back. You've done a great job and the cars s credit to you 🙂 Have you managed to change the wheels and finding the cause of the cold start issue?

You're welcome 🙂

Fantastic news, thank you for updating us 🙂

Definitely could be a sensor (or the battery in the sensor at least). A diagnostic check would tell you.

Don't forget your consumer law. If the item (car, TV etc) goes faulty in the first 6 months of purchase it is assumed the fault was there when you purchased it, therefore you're entitled to a refund. So the dealer you bought it from should fix this. If you've bought it on finance (even partially) then you could ring your finance company, explain the situation and tell them "the vehicle isn't fit for purpose" and as such you want to end the finance agreement. This should get the finance company to get involved and hopefully sort it quicker. As let's be honest, a finance company has a bigger legal team than you or I. Besides this: Are the carpets wet? If so could be a leaking heater matrix. Could be caused by a cracked expansion tank. Failed expansion tank cap. Is there any white smoke out of the exhaust? Is there any mayo looking substance whee you'd put oil in?

You might find that the airbag system can't just be reset from a regular code reader and might need to be done by an Audi independent specialist or Audi.

If you've bought this within the last 30 days then it's down to the dealer too fix free of charge, assuming consumer law is the same in new Zealand as it is here in the UK.

No probs please keep us posted on how you get on

Sorry to hear you're still having issues. Keep fighting because they'd love to charge you for the work if it was out of warranty!

Please keep us posted on how you get on

Sorry for the delayed reply, did you get this sorted? Not sure it should be dropping after 6 days. I'd definitely say it's a leaking bag.

Glad you got it back. Let's hope the recall gets done quickly so you can charge it 100% again

No probs. As I say I went off what's for sake currently on autotrader. And all the ones with 204ps aren't listed as hybrid. But looking at Derek's comment it looks like I could be wrong as he has first hand experience of the A5.

Can't say I've heard of it. You could always get it checked by Audi or an independent Audi specialist

Sorry to hear of your situation and for the delayed reply. p0299 indicates turbo under boost. Before writing off the turbo if get your mechanic to check the turbo pipes, as over time these can perish and where they attach to the turbo they can let sir through when under pressure but would look fine when not under pressure if that makes sense. Your second fault code 05171 supports my theory as it implies a boost leak from a pipe or similar.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 yep it can be changed. You're probably best going for an aftermarket apple car play/android auto set up. You can buy these online.

Definitely worth a shot but I'd still recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up for the dpf. You could look at having it professionally cleaned but this may only buy you time.

If bought from a dealer I'd recommend getting it back to them for a diagnostic as they should fix it free of charge if bought within the last 30 days.
