  1. If your a2 is anything like my A6 you'll find this tricky. As the ECU, injection pump and instrument cluster all talk to one another to disable the imobiliser. Finding someone who's able to do the electrical coding is difficult. I'm in a similar boat but just wanted a different engine code of the same type of engine fitted. Also I notice your a2 is a 2003 model, cars registered on a 52 plate and later have to meet the emissions standards of the car when new. Where as up to 02 registered cars can meet the emissions standards of the engine rather than the car as long as engine manufacturing date can be confirmed. So I could fit a 1970s rover V8 to my A6 and it would just have to met the 70s emissions. The benefit you'll have is you're looking to fit a more efficient engine than the original.

    E-Tron Recall

    Definitely!
  3. Going to sound mad but I'd be taking the golf bag and trolley with me to test it for peace of mind!
  4. Id be speaking to Audi about this. I remember 3-4 years ago (I think) nissan were selling cars with sat navs that had SD cards from 2016. it was in the media and didnt paint nissan in a good light. Sounds like Audi are doing the same?

    Oh wow, must be linked via my Audi app.
  6. If you've bought it from a dealer then it's there responsibility to fix this. As you're entitled to a full refund up to the first 30 days of purchase. Yep you can get aftermarket head units
  7. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Air suspension problems are the all roads biggest problems

    That's good then. They're probably just being cautious.
  9. If you're looking at retrofits members have used Audi retrofits and autologics and been happy with the results
  10. Nice one Dave thank you 😊
  11. Very interesting. I wonder if the battery was low and connecting the trailer encouraged the car to increase power which is what caused it to reset itself? Just a theory.
  12. If it's an auto check to see if the gearbox oil has been changed. And Quattro system has been serviced on time. Not sure on the schedule for that though
  13. Have you had another opinion from an Audi independent specialist or Audi itself?
  14. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 lovely looking A3.
  15. Key will probably have to be sourced at Audi. Regarding the reverse camera speak on Audi retrofits or autologics as members have used them and been pleased with the results
  16. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂
  17. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

    Sorry to hear that Tony. hopefully they fix it quickly
  20. Very hard to get hold of it lol
  21. You're welcome 🙂 my wife has an xe which is lovely.
  22. They should deactivate once trailer plugged into 12 pin socket. Otherwise sensors should work. Assuming it's all been fitted properly then I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. If you need a towbar specialist I'd highly recommend buzz towbars. They sorted the wiring on my ford Kuga daily.
  23. K&n? Pipercross?
  24. Does the replacement unit need coding I wonder? Or could it be an issue with the high pressure fuel pump?
