Hi fellow audi'ers. Im currently experiencing power loss and alot of black smoke out the back of my audi (when I put my foot down). I have read it with VCDS and the following error is visible: 8187 - Exhaust Gas Temp Bank 1 Sensor 1 (G235) P2080 00 [101] implausible signal. Can anyone explain exactly where this sensor is as ive googled and they all give a location but im unsure where that location is on my car. One thing to note is my car is the 2.0tdi S Line 170 with the stupid CNHA engine. Any pics or advice would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if the pictures aren't clear enough.

Hi, I have a 2014 Audi A5. My auxiliary (Secondary) Water Pump is on it's way out and needs replacing. Does anyone have any idea where the pump is actually located at all please? A decent diagram or even better a picture would help me loads Thanks Ant

So I took my A4 in for an MOT & service, and was given an inventory of costs totalling over £1594 to get it through the MOT…. 🤢 So I’m in a horrible situation where the MOT is going to run out very soon and I don’t want to get rid of my pride and joy 😔 The work that apparently needs doing is “renew fuel filter, renew dust & pollen filter, renew timing belt, wheel balance, renew front suspension link arm, renew throttle body & renew right rear coil spring. The engine light is stuck on and it looses power sometimes when accelerating”. Can anyone shed any light please? Thank you 🙏🏻 🚘

I have not long since got myself an audi a3. 2.0 tdi sport. Can anyone confirm, if my relative throttle is 0.0 when driving and the other reading is 85%, does that mean my throttle sensor as had it? Just for added info. I currently have the p2015 error code and an exhaust temperature fault. The exhaust freeze frame reads when rpm, I guess that sensor is done too. Also underboosting, suspect either one of these or the vanes, but starting with the easy options. Thank you, sorry for the long post and slightly jumbles post. Freeze frame read out below. Freeze frame DTC = P0544 Engine load - calculated value = 0% Engine coolant temperature = 63°C Intake manifold absolute pressure = 100kPa Engine speed = 0rpm Vehicle speed = 0km/h Intake air temperature = 46°C Mass air flow = 0.8g/s Throttle - absolute position = 90.98% Fuel rail pressure = 100kPa Ps, I still like the car haha

Afternoon, I recently joined the world of owning an audi. And picked myself up a a3 8p 2010 2.0 tdi sport. I have come to ask for help I have a problem when I hit a certain Speed, the car stops accelerating and tell me to down shift on the display. It does this until I stop, once I turn the car off and on again it works again until I hit a certain speed. Think motorway speeds. There is no warnings or lights. It feels like a limiter but that doesn't seem to be on. Any help or suggestions on where to look as I am back at work Wednesday and hope to have it sorted. Thanks guys.

Hi all, before posting this i’ve attempted to search previous forum posts and have scrolled through the forum as a whole and cannot find anything else relating to my issue. The issue that i seem to be having is with my number plate lights on my 2009 Audi A4 Avant Executive S Line. A fault is showing up on my dash board saying “Number Plate Lights” and neither of them are currently working. I popped down Halfrauds and bought two new bulbs and fitted them. They worked - until i shut the boot and they cut out again - when i reopened the boot they wouldn’t come back on. I’m suspecting a wiring issue somewhere of some kind. I’m new to this car and new to Audis as a whole, does anyone have any experience or tips and tricks in this area as to where i could start with fixing this? Any help or advice is going to be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time!

Hello everyone, Just bought an 2010 Audi A4 however the previous owner (for some reason) decided to spray the dash trim a bright red.... I want to return this to original but not sure where to source these parts or not sure if i can maybe spray it myself to a similar colour as original? Any suggestions are more than welcomed !

Hi all, Im not sure whether this will get any attention or not but I'm looking for advice on upgrading the look of my interior. I have an A4 S Line B8 2008 model. I've seen some owners have used carbon fibre prints and stuck them onto the already silver trims. I've been looking far and wide for a trim set which includes right-hand drive stickers etc as all I can find on eBay is left-hand drive. Any advice or pictures of your improvements would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!

Hi there, I am currently in the market for an a4 s line 2.0tfsi quattro B7 and was just wondering if anyone knows of any common faults that I should look out for when it comes to viewing the car. Many thanks, James.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yFPyAgdveHc. hi guys I’ve just brought a 17 plate Audi A5 3.0tdi 218ps and it’s starting making a weird ticking sound coming from both sides of the engine but more from the drivers side . IMG_3094.MOV Could this be the dreaded chain tensioner failure? If so the car only has 58000 on the clock surely Audi must have to fix this as it’s a fault with the car ??? Or am I being paranoid and it’s just the injectors ? Any advice appreciated thanks !

Hello so I've noticed squiking noise coming from the belts area in my 2008 A3 sportback. When engine heats up it gets better but still stays there. on load it disappears. Any input what could it be?. -
Hi guys, I purchased a 1.4 tfsi 2015 A1 a few weeks ago, and on test driving I noticed that after a drive both at idle and when the engine is off, there is a metallic ticking noise. It does stop when I turn the engine off, takes minutes or so. I did ask the dealer to check but they said its fine, and explained it was something to do with combustion or compression or something. It is the same sound you hear when an exhaust is hot, and ticks when It cools down. But it does it even after a Short drive and every single time I drive it. Just wondering if anybody has similar noises or any idea as it does make me a little worried. Thank You.

Hello, First of all sorry if this is the wrong thread, I’m new here and really need your help. I recently got my hands on a very cheap A5 3.0 Quattro 2007 that has been hit in the front and fitted with an unknown replica bumper. It had no plastic bits plain bumper. As I will proceed to restore this car I’d like to complete the full bumper without the need of buying a new one. After trail and error I found out that the S Line model vents fit the bumper but getting the same model lower defuser I found out that it does not fit. If any of you know which one will fit I’d be very glad. I have a lot of work ahead of this car including fixing the hood, wrapping the roof and replacing a lamp so I’d like to keep the extra costs minimal. Also last question, I’d like to hear your opinions about small parts from AliExpress such as the trunk wing or a bumper defuser. The price compared to EBay is not that much cheaper which leads me to believe these parts could be legit Thanks for your answers in advance!

Hi all. I’m Tom from the Uk 🙂 so I have a 2007 Q7 and I’ve owned it the past 4 years. It owes me nothing and i love the car. Over the years there’s been little gremlins that I haven’t had time to do anything about and to be honest they’re not show stoppers. But, since were all in lock down due to COVID19, I’ve got some time on my hands and wouldn’t mind doing a little DIY on the old bus, if I can. The beast pulls in every gear, full audi service history up till my ownership, which I now fully service every 6k religiously with OEM parts, except the gearbox. I have a specialist friend for that. 160k on the clock and the girl runs smooth! so, the little gremlins that id like to address are as follows. 1) DAB Signal - it’s really poor! More so when there’s something plugged into the 12v cig lighter slot or if the DVD players in the back are on. Is there anything I can do to improve this? 2) Front display TV reception - again really poor! It used to be fine, perhaps something to do with DAB signal too? 3) side lane assist thingy (tells you not to pull out on the motorway if there’s a car coming) - not working and comes up with when button is pressed. It used to work but stopped some time ago. 4) the rear passenger air suspension - is around 20mm lower when the car is parked 5) can I change the set ride height so that the car sits lower than factory without the use of the VAG software? 6) front heated drivers seat heater - temperamental 7) can I somehow retrofit something to connect my phone (iPhone) to the Bluetooth system to play music through the stereo? 😎 little square buttons on door handles. What are they for? Mine are not working at all 9) boot closing - closed 9/10 but it’s always that 1 time I don’t check; is there adjustment to ensure it closes ever time? 10) front side lights. No LED replacements work in these what so ever. Anyone got any suggestions? 11) how difficult is it to remove swirl flaps? One of my motors has fudged itself. Is there a step by step guide? 12) anyone blanked their EGR before? What’s the best kit and will I need to map it out? I think that is all. Massive appreciation to anyone who can assist 🙂

Hi all, I’m new here and hoping you may be able to help me please. In ‘storm Dennis’ a piece of trim on my 2007 A4 convertible has flown off. It’s the black edging/trim around the upper outside of the windscreen. Does anyone know where I can buy this from please? ive tried searching eBay etc but can only find the whole silver casing. I only need the black piece of trim that slots in from the outside. Is there a separate part number does anyone know? maybe I am using the wrong wording to search? Thanks in advance

I have just put my car into an Audi garage as the gear stick is popping out at 3rd or 4th gear when accelerating, Audi are advising that it could be fly wheel or the clutch causing the problem, they have quoted £414 to investigate and recommend that I should replace both the clutch and fly wheel if this is found to be the fault at a cost of £1600, I just about fell off my seat at this cost as the clutch is not slipping and no effect other than the gear stick popping out, i am looking to seek some advise on the best way forward as this seems extreme the car has been in for 2 days and I really don’t think they have done anything, other than carrying out an inspection on the car and telling me that the were issues with tyres, window wiper and an out of date tyre repair bottle they have done nothing over the last 2 days and then tell me it’s £414 to investigate to see if this is the actual problem the car is Audi A1 2014 44000 on the clock

Hello, Most of the time all of my parking sensors work, however, I keep getting this issue where my front sensors do not work, and this can last for some days. The most annoying problem though, is that my car alerts me every minute that it isn't working, and the parking sensor button flashes, as well as a horrible high pitched noise. This is both while I am driving and/or still. I would love if someone can help me rectify the issue and all help is appreciated. Best, Elliott
