Just logged onto myAudi account. Service record is no longer on the site. Can only assume this is because they are changing the site due to the new audi connect key available in new A8, A7 and soon to be A6 and so the site is in beta form along with changes to old version.

If you register a MyAudi account and link vehicle details with account you can veiw it online on MyAudi website

8V S3 doesn’t have a external oil filter for haldex. So you don’t need a haldex spanner. You just need a 8mm hex socket for drain plug and a 5mm hex socket for fill plug. If i was you i would also remove the haldex pump and drain and clean it out due to lack of filter. If memory serves me right...

100% it’s been set for brake fluid service. I’m a audi tech. I agree its total madness. Why they can’t have a separate indicator like bmw is beyond me! Can show you document from audi hub next week once i’m back at work. Basically says to stop doing it as it causes too much confusion for the...

It has been set for your second brake fluid change as it is due at 3 years old and then every 2 years there after.

They don’t normally store a TD1 code as it is normally only the dash panel value that gets changed

Can’t really comment on that individual case without seeing both cars lol however i have had milage inconsistencies before. This is usually found when the milage values in the ecu or tcu don’t match with whats stored in the dash panel.

Originally post yes but in the second you basically say i I don’t care about the people who buy Audi’s. And then go on to have a go at techs as a whole in general which in some cases i would agree with you however don’t tarnish us all with the same brush lol. Again can’t really comment on a...

It’s a bit of both. It’s done automatically via a test plan in odis which you have to manually select anytime you do a svm software update. And also everytime you save a send a Guided Fault Finding online.

You’re making a judgment on my skills and character based on a forum post in which im trying to help people! If i didn’t care I wouldn’t be here now would i? People always blame the techs but at the end of the day I don’t get to make the final decision on what ultimately gets done. It’s the...

Any basic issues should be easily fixed by your dealer! And when it comes to brakes its a on going issue with audi and at the end of the day I could report viva diss an issue a week with RS brakes. They would then report back to factory and then come up with a solution after an investigation and...

No idea. Don’t have vcds personally as i’ve no need as i have access to odis dealer equipment. would need to check with someone with vcds access to be sure sorry

We have been caught out by one or two claims. And we have had to foot the bill. But all warranty work gets scanned before any repair including software updates and will be rejected for repair if any uncertainty or evidence is found of tuning/tampering.

Posted this earlier to today on S1 forum and about a 1000 other times previous! This is a document taken from audi hub. I’m a Audi tech and see it on a daily basis. And i’m getting soo bored of it on the forum! So many myths about dealerships on this forum need sorting out lol :tearsofjoy: Any...

Posted this before many times. Its getting boring now but working in a Audi main dealer i see it on a daily basis! We do know, we can see it and audi are more vigilant to it since problems with emissions scandal and will reject any engine/drivetrain warrenty claim if any codes are stored. Which...
