Hi , Bit of a delay here. The site refused to recognise my password, AOK now Sandra has reset me. So, perhaps you have resolved the problems, if not, I had something the same, spurious messages, child locks US, I can't remember the others. I took it to Stirling Audi, where I was given the...

Hi Booboo. No, I've had the car since new. It's been like this from the start. I think it worked once shortly after I got it. I was coming down a slight grade, trailing throttle to some lights, and I noticed the engine had died. Picked away again as the lights turned. Got a reply from Audi...

An update on this old thread. Couple of weeks ago,just by chance, as I was approaching my house, I turned the air-con off, no idea why, it is has always been on the eco setting. Stopped to wait for the gates to open, and the engine died. Then I twigged the s/s had worked. Why. Well, on trying...

An update on this. Today I bit the bullet, decided I would do a bit more than just look and ponder at the bumper. I took off the plastic rear quarter panel mouldings that the bumper clips to at the sides. I ground down the end section where the bumper seemed to be being stopped by it. Just below...

Well, thanks to the 87 so far have looked at this post, so far. Only problem is no thoughts on the cause. Although I'm not surprised. Just had another look at it, or them, just now. I don't have an clue what's the matter. It's as if the engaging lip of the bumper is too thick, or deep, or...

HI all, So, a while ago I removed the rear bumper to fit a tow-bar. Fitted the bar, cut the aperture on the spoiler to allow the electric socket to swing down and refitted the bumper. I then found that the bumper, on both sides where it drops down from the rear lights, turns and marries...

The battery in my A4 from new was not up to standard (for the vehicle). No, well once only, stop/start, warnings of various , spurious, imagined faults. But as was said above . Without all the electronics fault checking and S/S, I would not have been the wiser. And probably still on the...

Hi Daggerit, I appreciate that, but in this case, no settings have been changed over the years. I think your are right on the cold engine point though. A/C stays at what it is, never use heated seats, climate control, no idea. etc. Which is why I suggested voltage level. I was out today, and...

HI all, here'a thing I've been meaning to ask about for donkeys. On the original battery, car (quattro Avant 2ltr) new early 2018 till mid 2021, the stop/start barely ever worked, if I charged the battery it would sometimes work. As well as getting spurious warnings, door child locks US, can't...

Hi NHN, yes, I had a look at Homelink a good few months ago, and got the impression that it might be easyish in the US, not so much here, where it's not supported from the car's build, ie no roof buttons. I'll connect the transmitters to the buttons tomorrow, so fingers crossed. Just had...

Hi all, well, I got it, the centre console, off with a bit of brute force. The clips on the front legs were a "bit" tight. One of the legs cracked, badly, as I wrestled it out. Glue gun to the rescue. Four clips came off, and two of them went AWOL. must have fallen down, however, job dun. This...

Hi all, I have been trying to remove the centre trim surrounding the MMI controls, and run into a problem. I followed the Youtube video, , and up until trying to lift the trim up and off, no problem. Then I ran into the same dead end which THIS post came to...

Hi all, a 2018 petrol Avant. 9000 miles. I have a problem with the interior lights. Something I have not noticed before, due to me hardly ever using it at night. And when I do, the house outside flood lights go on. So lots of light. So, I assume that every time any one of the doors is opened...

Hi, no, module unplugged makes no difference. And as I said, they ONLY come on when the car is unlocked, AND the drivers door opened. I have never noticed before because I usually, 99%, only use the boot area during the day. I thought there might be some setting I don't know off.

Hi, no, the module is wired to the tailgate closing switch, and the tailgate servo-lock. And lives in the tailgate. Perhaps I should have been clearer, I was trying not to make the tale too long. The lighting circuit becomes live when the tailgate opens, or it should, thus powering the...
