Hey im a brand new user and i just created the account. I've been trying to wrap my head around this issue I've been having. Multiple issues unfortunately. My wipers, front and rear alongside the horn aren't working and the airbag sign is on. I'd like to solve the issue myself so if anyone can offer some advice or resources (tutorials, tips, etc) I'd be very grateful. If you want/need additional information or photos feel free to request or PM me and I'll provide. If i broke any rules or something similar let me know and I'll correct the post. Thanks in advance.

Need some advice please- own a A4 avant B8 S-line 2.7 TDI multitronic. Had gearbox problem so changed that to a second hand part which was installed by my mechanic. The ECU code on gearbox wasn't matching up so was sent to another garage with the software to re-code it. When it came back the Air Bag light had come on. On VagCom code is reading J234 no signal/communication from Air bag ECU. Any advice as to what caused this?

Hi All, so just on a month in ownership of a Mk1 Q7 Sline 3.0TDI. bought it for about £5.5k 2007 so not new (read 'needs a couple of jobs) - maybe a bit rushed - but odd times and needed to resolve a motor quickly. Issues and routes of action. 1. replaced the rear washer/wiper. Easy job,load of tutorials on you tube etc. This was corroded and seized. Made a lot of noise (so motor was trying to do something - but did nothing seized/rusted solid. new motor from ebay, WD40 to unfreeze a bolt holding the wiper arm on - probably the most awkward bit of the job.. and it was done in about 30 mins. - only guidance I can give, is the plastic spray nozzle was also blocked - managed to get a very fine drill bit down the shafts of this and now it all works perfectly. 2. air blower motor (passenger side dashboard), squeaking. Removed and lubricated with some lithium grease - takes about an hour due to taking time with dash and looms. - bit jiggly but certainly do-able. See how this holds up not convinced it will be a long term fix - but certainly worked - again loads of vids and advice out there - just followed it. (I did managed to get the housing apart - some vids just showed spraying in blindly... 3. P2112 /P2011/P2008. Think this will be the throttle actuators - heard they either become gunked or the plastic cogs thread over time - I have flagged this to the garage i bought the car from - hope they will resolve, if not I'll have a look and feedback. (would rather they try the engine related issue under warranty first) 4. Airbag light has come on. I did manage to get this to go off after jiggling yellow cable under the seat - but its on again.. again not gone too far just flagged this back to the garage will feedback shortly. 5. Im a bit bemused /confused by the air suspension I get a green light with an arrow and its in dynamic - this does not go out - if I move it to comfort it may go out - but the whole thing seem erratoc flagging unavailable modes often. pondering if I have a compressor issue.. again flagged this to garage this weekend. (I have flagged all these issues this weekend, again if there is an issue its likely to cost so flagged them first. - (heard of kits to refresh seals etc..) 6. Bubbles in paintwork, I did ponder doing these myself but metallic and kingfisher blue - so instead opted for the body shop to respray all panals leavign the bonnet and roof alone. - goign in tomorrow - will paste the results! 7. FOB - easy job just replaced the fob casing on key just makes it nice. 😉 8. Left Dash Vent replaced (fins broken) - 5 minute job. Still pondering: a fuel economy or general remap. Grill replacement or redye (all back) LED light conversions - anyone done this any advice, heard fo some as direct replacement - unsure about errors on bus..? MMI uplift I have the lowest one - TBH Bluetooth FM transmitter is working ok vs what would be a major task... just thought Id discuss my journey so far anyone interested please feedback - any advice etc always welcomed. 🙂

Hi there. I'm currently looking to sell my mercedes e350 as I need something with 4 wheel drive that can tow. I don't really want an SUV type, so am thinking that the A6 Allroad would be a really good option. That said, I'm hearing lots of horror stories on air suspension failures and monstrous repair bills. However, they mostly seem to be on older models. I'm probably looking at a 2014 or 2015 model, so my question is..... Is this age of Allroad susceptible to the same airbag problems or did Audi manage to sort it out? Any advice really would be most appreciated Thanks

Hi people of the forum I am looking to replace my steering wheel with an aftermarket 1, momo or something like that, but from what I have read so far on the net I get the impression that if I am to replace the steering wheel it will disable ALL of the airbags in the car, does anybody know if this is definately the case, or is there a way of just disabling the drivers airbag and leaving the rest of the system functional? Also, by changing the steering wheel and disabling the drivers airbag, am I going to be left with the airbag warning light on with no way of turning it off? If anybody knows of a way of disabling just the drivers airbag in a way that doesn't leave me with an airbag light being stuck on I would muchly appreciate your input. Thanks in advance
