Hi Mark your mechanic is right, the battery will need coding to the car. Audi can do this or I believe it can be done if you or a friend has vag com. To be fair though, Audi shouldn't charge you too much for this. Sorry I can't help more Cheers :) Steve

Erm.... 3 days to kill?

Paris with love?

Don't forget to see if they have the service history for the recon engine. I appreciate you have seen the history for the car but the recon engine will have it's own story to tell. If they've fitted an engine but have no service history for it then you could end up with various problems if it's not been maintained properly. Cheers Steve

Great looking car :)

Bingo! :)

Sorry to hear your having a bad time Richard but this is becoming a too common problem on vag cars. My dad's 2013 1.6tdi a3 and 2016 2.0tdi Passat both burned too much oil for our liking. Keeping working on them though as I do hope there is some factory good will they can do. Cheers Steve

Nope! Its not as well known. Do you Give up?

The new Audi Q8 which was shown at both the Geneva and Frankfurt motorshows is set to be released for sale in 2018. The Q8 is Audi's new SUV flagship and competes against the Range rover. The drivetrain will include e-tron plug in hybrid which will be connected to a 3.0tfsi engine and fitted with Quattro. This engine will do 155mph and hit 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. Emissions was 53g/km of CO2. In fully electric mode the range is 37 miles and the battery will take 2 and half hours to charge from empty. It is also suspected that the V8 diesel engine as fitted to the SQ7 I will most likely be offered to the Q8. This engine is a 4.0 bi-turbo v8 which produces 429bhp.

You're welcome Karl :) I'd start off by removing the battery. You'll get a better view then. Cheers Steve

Correct.

Have you had a diagnostic check carried out at all? This definitely sounds like a wiring issue to me. Cheers Steve

Well I'd just be careful. It might be worth you having an independent inspection carried out by companies such as the AA or RAC. If the dealer refuses or is reluctant then I would say the dealer or car has more to hide! Cheers Steve

Above are 3 pics of Audi's in new york which I saw whilst I was away. Can you believe that whilst in the Caribbean I did not see ONE Audi!! Plenty of Jap cars though. Cheers Steve

Any guesses?

I would definitely keep one back as an example. Your the 3rd person now. I think Dunlop are trying to brush this issue under the carpet.
