Steve Q

It'll be interesting to see what fault codes come up. As you have only had the car one day, it might be worth contact in the seller. I'm assuming you bought it from a dealership? Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum James, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Sorry to hear you're having issues with your a6. It looks a lovely car. Probably a long shot but I'm wondering whether or not you've been able to get a diagnostic check carried out to see if or what fault codes have been thrown up? Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Chris, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) What a great collection of Audi's Chris! :) I do love the classic Audi's!! Cheers Steve

Thanks for your kind words :) we try and have a friendly and active club :) And yes we do attend Audi driver international. If you have a look under the show reports section, you'll.see last year's show pics and write up :) once this years show has been fully confirmed then I'll organise a club display. You'll be more than welcome to display your Audi on the display with us! :) Cheers Steve

Certainly is good value! Lets hope you get more takers :) one person was interested on Facebook but doesn't look like they've mentioned it on here yet!! I write up.woukd be grand! Thank you :)

Thanks Chris :) welcome to the forum by.the way :) Thanks for your suggestion :) Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Audley, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Can't say I've heard of that fault before but I'm.sure someone on here can help :) Cheers Steve

Hi David, Happy new year :) Cheers Steve

Happy New year Kevin :) Sorry to hear you're.having to.have an engine rebuild but at least your improving it :) Keep us posted on how you get on :) Cheers Steve

I'll put another post on the Facebook group for you Graham. Sorry, you've struggled to get the numbers. I do know how that feels! Let's hope there is some last minute interest :) Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Gurdeep, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) As the others have said, this is normal and is just the Diesel particulate filter doing a regeneration. This basically helps keep the dpf clear and stops it clogging with soot. Cheers Steve

Hi James welcome to the forum :) You'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) My first port of call would be to check the key fob batteries. If you have checked that then I'm wondering if your car battery is on its way out? Once batteries start to fail they cause unusual electrical issues. Getting the battery checked would be my next suggestion. The usual life expectancy of a battery is approx 7 years, but they can last up to 10. The other 2 things I can think of is either the central locking module is on its way out or the drivers door locking mechanism is also failing. The drivers door mechanism controls the rest of the central locking. However I believe these 2 faults would show up on a diagnostic check. Sorry I can't help more. Cheers Steve

Hi Russell, welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I believe the dash inserts just clip into the dash but you'll probs need to remove switch gear and other items that are around the inserts. I've found this video on YouTube on how to remove the dash on a b9 which may be useful. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Rich, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) You've had a nice selection of Audi's and I bet you can't wait for the s4! :) Cheers Steve

Wow! They look great! :) They really.smarten the a3 up :) Cheers Steve

Sorry to hear your having this issue Dave but at least Audi have found the fault quickly and given you a courtesy car. I wonder how the glass roof has got damaged. Please keep us posted on how you get on. Cheers Steve

Correct Pete! :) Sorry for the delayed reply I hadn't seen your response. Here's a new one. Again this is from a crime drama :) Cheers Steve

Hi Jay, Just an off thought with this.... If and when you are coming to sell your Q5 you'll have to make the new owner aware that you've turned off these features, so that they don't think there is something wrong with the car. Cheers Steve

Don't blame you! Plus acc can be expensive to fix if it goes wrong! I'm sure the camera is around £400 if I'm not mistaken. And if it needs resetting then you have to do a 4 wheel alignment.

You're welcome :) Sounds like a plan. Change the fob batteries and then check the date on the car battery to see how old it is. The average life expectancy of a battery is around 7 years so if it is older than this, then it is probably due to be changed. Please keep us posted on how you get on :) Cheers Steve

You're welcome Kurt. As I say, if you have bought the a3 from a dealer then this should be your first place to turn. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Gerard, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) The first thing I'd recommend, if you haven't do e already is change the key fob batteries. My second recommendation is having a diagnostic check carried out to see what fault codes flag up. One thing it could be is the central locking module but as a way out thought, when was your battery last changed? If it's an old battery then this could be causing some of the electrical systems to play up. Has the car gone flat lately? Or have you found any other electrical oddities which could help suggest it's the battery at fault? Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Kurt, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) The first thing id recommend you do is contact the seller. I'm assuming it's a garage and as such they should be looking at it for you. You'll.need at diagnostic check carried out to see what the fault is. Did the car look accident damaged at all? On the other hand it could be as simple as a loose wire. On the previous model of a3 (8p) and some other older Audi models the passenger seat airbag wire would could loose and this would cause the airbag light to come on. This wire was situated under the passenger seat. It might be worth a look to see if any wires are loose. Sorry I can't help more. Cheers Steve

Lol, thanks Paul! I was skinnier believe it or not!!

Sounds like a good goal :) your better than me, I have no will power lol. Love my alcohol and chocolate too much!!
