Hey guys I recently had the dreaded oil pressure light come on at a stop light when engine was up to temp, I checked the oil level in the MMI and it said it was full, every time the light came on (low oil pressure) I would check the display and it was all okay. I had my OBD2 scanner plugged in and no codes, I checked throughout the day and no change, the next day it was reoccurring at every stop/ idle, I checked the oil level and it said low, the light came off and I checked again on the display and it was back to full, a few hours later there was no information about the oil, then it showed full only once again and then it hasn’t anymore to the date, I suspected a faulty oil pressure sensor so I went ahead and replaced it with a Duralast (brown) and it was still happening, I checked the sensor and it seemed like it was faulty and it was leaking as well, replaced it with a new one and it did the trick for about 45 minutes, I got a quart of oil in it and no lights on for about the same time but it came back on, although not as intermittent as before on every stop/ idle, it’s now doing it like every 2-3 stop/idles. I am now going to replace the blue sensor and hope for the best then tackle the oil level sensor below the oil pan, any ideas? PS:Oil was serviced beforehand and about the next day it started, also I did notice that the original pressure switch I replaced had two silver squares in it with a pin in the middle and a dot outside the housing, the new switch I got at AutoZone did not have the two squares in it (see photos for reference) it did had positive reviews including from someone the same year model as mine with no issues. I also reset the hood latch to make sure it wasn’t that.

Hi all, Looking for some advice with my Audi A3 - Around 2 years ago I had issues around once a month where the car would be spluttering in gear (often 4th) causing me to engage the clutch or drop a gear, as it felt like the engine was labouring despite the revs being around 2k. Another side effect of this was the engine knocking or clunking abruptly when turning the engine off. I had a new throttle body fitted and all had been well and the clunking had stopped until recently. Current status is the car on startup is starting but the revs drop really low and the car splutters and physically jolts. Equally when shutting the engine off I’m now back to having an audible and abrupt clunk. The issues on startup and shut off are not happening every time which is causing confusion I’d say it happens 7/10 startups. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? I have no lights on the dash and the car seems to drive ok once the revs have settled after a couple of minutes. The engine is a 2.0tdi with 111k on the clock appreciate any feedback, BP

Hi everyone, I own Audi Q8 2018 and have an issue with air coming in the front of the vehicle when AC is on. As soon as i stopped the A/C the air starts coming from the front too. The A/C is working fine but the air is blowing only from the rear. Has anyone experienced this ? Thanks

Guys I’m very new to this. My first ever German car. I recently bought it from a local car mart here in Jamaica. The car was imported from Japan but during shipping it had some scratches that I need to fix and my spray shop has no clue what the color is. I’ll attach below the car color and the paint code sticker that I found in the boot and the manual

I have an Audi A4 B9 2016 2l diesel and was filling up yesterday and noticed that there was a hole within the housing of the fuel tank next to the drain hole. It has been raining quite a bit recently. I wanted to know what could have caused this? Is it dangerous and how would it be fixed? I have attached pictures If someone could please help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Saying goodbye to this classic car as we have not been using it much. This car is ideal for someone who would continue taking care it and improve it as it still has many years to serve a car lover. It's family owned, passed down from father to son. It's a 30-year old beauty, mainly driven by father and brother around London, hence low mileage and 3 owners (including us). The car was bought new by father. Service history is partial as he was bad at keeping documents! The car has a modern radio (no original radio). It has marks on bodywork, but mechanically it's been checked and has had work done. It drives and starts fine. The interior is fabric and needs a clean. Engine size 2309cc. It's convertible, but the roof is put down manually. The roof is in good condition, although reproofing is needed and a small tear needs to be patched. Car reg K2LGW. Currently has a valid MOT. Located in Earlsfield, London. Open to offers. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have further questions on 07475091685! 🙂

tyre replacement AUDI A4 Avant (2019) spare tyre question
Steve335 posted a topic in Audi A4 (B9) Forum
Hi all, I’m new to the forum. I would appreciate your help. I’ve just bought an A4 Avant 40TFSI. It’s a 2019 model, bought used from the local Audi dealer. As most of you know, newer Audis don’t come with a spare wheel (not even a space saver one). The only thing supplied is an inflatable kit which is pretty much useless and it also ruins the tyre if used, which means you have to purchase a new tyre every time you have a puncture. I have asked the dealer if I can order a space-saver tyre. He made some enquiries and the response was: “AUDI are not sure if it’s possible and also if it will even fit, as modifications might be needed. If you have a puncture, call breakdown service!”. Not sure what to think of that… Apparently the reason AUDI have removed the spare tyre is to reduce emissions… I drive a lot for work and it wold be very inconvenient to call breakdown service and wait to be towed to the nearest garage just to repair a puncture. I’d like to be able to put the spare tyre on and carry on with my journey. The tyres are 245/40/R19 (19 inch alloys). I had a look online and it seems that the Hankook T125/70/R19 space saver tyre is the one suited for this size. The only problem is that the boot space is very tight. There is potentially some room if I remove the pump box (which I will happily do if I can fit the spare tyre there), but the rectangular battery might be a problem, as it seems to obstruct the round shape of the tyre. Also, the battery cables run through the grooves and are not easy to move / bend. I took a photo to give you an idea of the space. Before I go ahead and purchase a tyre I wanted to ask if anyone had the same problem and if you have found a solution, i.e if it’s possible to fit a space saver tyre over the battery (and if so, are there any mods or extra components required ). Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Steve

I bought myself 2003 Audi A3 8P a few months ago, and since then, my ESP light on the cluster has been staying a bit illuminated. Anyone know what the issue might be? Can it be a blown bulb?

Hi Everyone, Recently upgraded my Audi Q2 Edition 1 to a Q3 Sportback Black Edition. I have stuck the Audi Q2 All Weather Rubber Mats on eBay and they end this weekend if anyone is interested. Great condition, so grab yourself a bargain! It’s for the front and rear and usually £108 RRP for all 4. Couple of pictures attached and eBay link below. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256069280094?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Xd_FRNQDQCq&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Xd_FRNQDQCq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Cheers, Dan

Hi Hope someone has some ideas and can help me with the below please? Audi A6 avant c7 v6 3L TDI I have noticed a black splatter around the coolant reservoir and top engine cover. Upon further inspection noticed a black mass of more of the same around where exhaust is coming out of the engine. It is totally solid/hard. What is that? Engine runs ok apart from very rare juddering on cold start and some coolant disappearing overtime. (Like 200mil over a month or two) No leaks of any sort noticed This black hard mass looks worrying 😞 No loss of power, no overheating, coolant reservoir nice and clean, oil cap clean, no bad smoke coming out of exhaust- none of the worrying bits if you know what I mean? Any help would be much appreciated. See pictures attached.

Hi All, I hope you can all help! About 5 months ago someone has stolen all my Audi A1 wheel centre caps! I have ordered some off ebay but they are the wrong size so i dont really want to order online again! I have contacted Audi direct, however they are charging £160 for all four. I dont really want to spend this much just in case it happens again. Can anyone advise me if they know anywhere that do them or any advise for me! I have attached the picture of what the wheel caps look like. Thanks in advance!

Used condition still work perfect looking for £100 for the set -
Hi, I’m having a few issues with my Audi A5. Firstly, anytime I start the car on a cold engine the car shakes for a few minutes 2-3 mins due to excess air build up. This is the error codes I get: P2187 - lean fuel mixture at an idle in either Bank 1 P2279 - intake air system leak I tried using fuel injector cleaners and the engine light still keeps coming back with these two codes. Anytime I reset the codes and start the engine the engine excessively shakes for around 3 minutes until I rev the air out. I think that the P2279 code is due to some air leak and I am planning to run a smoke test through the engine to detect the leak, if no leak founds I saw somewhere that I should replace the sensor. I’ve also saw a video replacing the PCV valve diaphragm could fix the issue. My valve seems fine however I read somewhere that they may look ok but still be at fault. Therefore, I have ordered one and waiting for delivery (see attached photo). Apart from these two codes popping up and the engine light going off as well as the shakes when starting a cold engine the car runs perfect. Anyone had any similar issues or know what the problem could be here?

Any one come across a problem with the heated seat on the super sports seat? The red light that indicates the heated seat is on flickers on for a second then completely turns off. If I try pressing the button again no lights will come on however if I turn the car off and back on then the button will flicker again. Element, relays?? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

Hi Everyone, I own Audi Q8 2018 and it started making the following issue - when my fuel is around the middle it goes suddenly to the reserve then after some time it goes above the middle. Upon refilling the tank it works fine and then after some time it starts playing again. Any solutions ? What can it be? Thanks

I have audi Q7. Love it. I want to know if this model has an inbuilt GPS tracker in it. Because i want to install one in it if it doesnt have. My son is driving it now. I am going to purchase one from https://www.paj-gps.com/ company. Seems like they have lot of good choices and easy to use trackers. What do you think? -
I have seen all the videos of the port being on the right hand side of the foot well but there is just a hole where it’s looks like it should be so I took the plastic tray to see if it was hiding up there but it wasn’t there. Anywhere it could be or has someone taken it out ? A4 Allroad 2017

Hi all Just bought an A4 convertible with a dodgy roof. Guy has had it sitting for a while and stated that the roof did work before but doesn't now. upon getting the car home the 6 week old battery didn't hold a charge and left me stranded outside the chippy. heres the facts.... 1. central locking doesn't work 2. windows don't work 3. roof is dead 4. interior lights don't work 5. soft top warning keeps saying its not shut Ok, a little faultfinding tonight however I do believe the comfort control module is at fault here with all these issues. 1. the thick red wire going into the pump is getting a constant 12v even when the ignition is off. seems strange to me but I'm not an audi engineer 2. all the fuses are intact 3. replaced battery however I do think there is a draw coming from somewhere to have killed the last battery (thank god for Halfords warranty and an owner that kept receipts) 4. pump looks totally dry (moisture wise) but without a more in depth diagnostic machine we couldn't run it 5. vag com says that fuse 30 was open circuit - could have just us dicking about with it. Are we on the right track here? the comfort control module surely does all these things. I've bought a pump to be belt and braces but these things are around £180 second hand -
Hi All, I am very excited to have ordered my new A3 Sportback a couple of weeks ago. The 'YourAudi' tracker is currently saying that my build is expected to begin on 28th November, which I assume means delivery towards the end of December, which seems an awfully long time away!! (Patience is not my greatest virtue...) I was just wondering if anyone has ordered an A3 or any other model in recent times, and how accurate they found these dates to be? From a bit of googling it seems these dates can swing about fairly wildly? The dealer predicted delivery by the end of November when ordering.. Any info much appreciated! Many thanks, Rob

For the last six months plus, while driving at any speed or any gear, random power losses/misfires for one or two seconds, with no pattern sometimes it does not do it for days and sometimes does it three times in a fourteen mile journey, with rev counter dropping and returning to normal again. Sometimes when accelerating from a stand still at a traffic light when I move off, the car seems to do what I can only describe as a huge misfire, I feel a large thud from the engine and the vehicle jerks forward violently then acts normal again so I can drive. Vehicle has had a minor Audi service March 2017b (also full Audi service history). 29thApril I fitted a brand new original Audi original part fuel filter. It seemed to improve things but.... I still see the random power loss/miss fires stutter. Straight after fuel filter change vehicle put on a computer, codes came up P0087 and P1093. (Re computer codes picture attached)Reference code P0087 I googled results; https://www.obd-codes.com/p0087Potential causes of a P0087 trouble code may include: Weak fuel pump, clogged filter or screen, restricted fuel supply line Faulty fuel pump driver module Faulty fuel pressure sensor.Reference code P1093; http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/17501/P1093/004243P1093 - Bank 1; Fuel Measuring System 2: MalfunctionPossible SymptomsPower LossMisfire(s)StallingPossible CausesFuel Pressure insufficient/exceed/fluctuatingFuel Pump (High Pressure System) faultyFuel Pressure Regulator Valve (N276) faultyPossible SolutionsCheck Fuel Pressure (on FSI engines High and Low Fuel Pressure System)Check Fuel Pump (High Pressure System)Check Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve (N276)Check Fuel Filter and Filter in Fuel Pump CasingSpecial NotesWhen found in 2.0l TFSI<http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/2.0l_TFSI_(AXX/BGB/BPJ/BPY/BWA)>: * Check Fuel Pressure<http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/2.0l_TFSI_(AXX/BGB/BPJ/BPY/BWA)#Checking_Fuel_Pressure> * Check TSB/TPI 2008753 (Rest of World), incompatibility between Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve (N276) and ECU software. * When found in conjunction with Misfires and Lean fault codes, check RVUTB: 01-09-03 or 2018919 (NAR only) 2.0T (BPY), for updated Crankcase Breather Valve * If the breather valve is faulty, full engine vacuum is typically found when removing the oil cap at idleMaybe possibly need a new breather valve, high pressure fuel pump/cam follower, or fuel pressure sensor. I've booked my vehicle to go to Audi specialist Les Paul's for first time and I hope they can fix issue as quick as possible.
