    A1 rear tyre wear

    in Wheels And Tyres

    Posted

    Hi Keith welcome to the forum :) 

    You'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

    I have some questions...

    What is the Audi dealer saying? 

    What tyres are they? 

    What's the total mileage on the car?

    Obviously the first two things that need to be checked are Tyre pressures, tracking and wheel balancing. Sorry if I'm telling you how to suck eggs! 

    Also dont forget to check the condition of the wheels for any cracks or buckling. Obviously if the car has covered high mileage then certain parts of the suspension such as the bushes and suspension arms could be wearing out. 

    Cheers

    removal of radio when keys dont work

    in Audi A3 (8P) Forum

    Posted

    Hi there, here are so e YouTube videos iv found that might be useful :) 

     

    I've tried to.find a video on how to remove the heater controls but without success. Sorry. But looking online I was incorrect and the radio has to come out before the heater controls come out anyway. So it's irrelevant. 

    Hope the videos helpful though.

    Cheers

    Audi's new formula E car unveiled

    in Audi Motorsport

    Posted

    Audi has just unveiled it's brand new Formula E race car, the FE04 which will make it's debut in season 4 of the Formula E championship in Hong Kong. This is the first formula E car that Audi has designed and built after sponsoring Abt Schaeffler for the last 3 seasons. Schaeffler will be still behind the wheel of the new car which has an improved gearbox.

    This is a significant step for Audi as some of the technology used in the FE04 will gradually be released on up and coming road cars such as the Audi e-tron SUV which is due next year. 

    Here are the links for further info :)

    Hi Steve. 

    Superb links!

    I suspect from reading them all, that I already have the majority of critical kit fitted into the car:

    1. Calibrated Camera in windscreen. 

    2. IR sensors ( for both parking and Audi pre-sense )

    3. VPC module. 

    I think I’d need a new cruise control stalk with ‘min and max’ selector  to control the distance between me and the car I am following and coding to turn all the other bits on from the factory default off. 

    Not something that’s urgent at all, maybe will ask the dealer for the information on how much and how intensive it is to get all the spec available. Then I will have an idea on what’s possible and how much I’m willing to pay :zorro:

    Many thanks again. 

    You're welcome :) 

    I'm sure Audi will charge you a pretty penny for it all no doubt! 

    Audi A4 Avant Issues

    in Audi A4 (B8) Forum

    Posted

    Hi Liam welcome to the forum :) 

    You'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

    I won't have the answers to all your questions but only some I'm afraid. 

    With regard to the air con, when was this last serviced? Audi recommend this should be done every 2-3 years. Also do all the buttons work on it correctly? I ask this because if it isn't then you'll find it'll witch itself to econ (no air con) mode. 

    With regard to the gearbox is it manual or auto?

    And in terms of the key, have you changed the battery at all? 

    Oh, and what car are you changing too? 

    Cheers :)

    Welcome to the forum Roberto :)

    Break down? This would depend on service history. Is this full or part history? Also if your a4 has full Audi service history then you can ring Audi to see what work it has had done. 

    What mileage is on your a4? 

    Cheers

    Hi Jay I'm sure it can be retro fitted and I bet it would be a combination of programing it in to the car but extra sensors and sensors may need to be installed. I have found this article on another forum and as you can see it's not straight forward fitting lane assist. 

    Hope you find this link useful :)

    removal of radio when keys dont work

    in Audi A3 (8P) Forum

    Posted

    Welcome to the forum Julian :) 

    You'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

    It's odd you can't get the radio out after trying to different sets of keys. You probably can gain access by removing the climate control module. In failing that you may have to take your a3 to Audi or a vehicle radio specialist. 

    Sorry I can't help more. 

    Cheers

    I have been going through the forums looking at relevent posts Some really good advice and you lads know your stuff!

    Your welcome and thank yu! We definitely try and help.where we can :) 

    As Piotr has said a pic of the glovebox will.help a d I have to agree with him that a diagnostic check might not be a good idea. 

    Like I say though and if it's possible, could it be a blown bulb? 

    Cheers
