My car is totally stock but Audi want to me to take the car in to read the ECU (s).
Apparently they need to plug in and upload a file to Audi to determine if it needs re programming for an upgrade.
its in on Thursday l so I'll let you know what they say.
Hi gang.
Car in today and had the following warranty work done.
1. s/w update for Haldex controller. No info on what the update addresses.
2 vacuum line repositioned in C pillar for exhaust flap actuater - stopped rattling on start up.
3 brake check - remove and replace pads along with full...
I have an S3 one in the boot.
had to modify the foam insert but it fits fine.
didnt want to right off a tyre with foam from a simple repairable puncture.
Hi gang.
Got a call from the dealers today to advise of a software update for the Haldex controller.
Booked in for tomorrow - will advise if there are any detectable differences.
Also, a check of vacuum lines in the C pillar area is mentioned relating to the exhaust flap / actuator rattling...
That's a couple that have blown after having work done at a dealer.
I wonder if the technicians are doing a launch control during test drives?
the ECU would log when the last launch control was done.
interesting to know.
Hi all.
I have to say the car has been faultless to date.
Thanks for the replies / info on the coolant & oil.
i will naturally be keeping a closer eye on them.
At service time I will mention that they were low and needed topping up.
Brakes - a slight squeak sometimes but not a "problem"...
I do certainly use all of the rev range when warmed up.
agree about S on the gearbox - quicker responding and better engine braking to.
Will keep monitoring the levels.
I noticed this when going from a 2WD A3 to an S3 then RS3.
The floor is higher in quattro models due the drivetrain etc.
the boot is smaller / less deep in quattro models also.
Hi gang.
Just completed a 600 mile round trip in the UK.
Mainly motorway cruising along with some A and B road blasting.
After checking the car (4 k miles) I found the oil and coolant level just about in minimum.
Same with you guys?
Cheers.
Paul
