Hi, Im having to sell my dear A8 4.0 TDI and I want to check that everything works, I have had the second key upstairs in a drawer for 3 years but when I try it it doesnt work, even though I know theres a good battery in it. Is there something you have to do to get it to pair with the car...

Hi All, Is there anything you can do about having Rain sensors with a mind of their own? Sometimes they seem to work ok, but others, it only has to rain a small amount and the wipers are on full blast. Not sure if theres any sort of cleaning or checking I can do, or whether it just needs...

Had to go to Audi in the end.. It was a boost sensor, so car was down on power cos it wasnt boosting.. Part was only 43.00 which was suprising.. te labour still kills though. Glad for once it was a cheap fix.

Hi, Just thought Id post in case anyone can help, the forum seems a bit bare these days for A8 people. Started my car up (A8 4.0 TDI 04 Plate) and the heat plug coil light started flashing and the yellow engine light stayed on. I seem to be running on reduced power but the engine sounds...

Hi guys, Dont know if anyone can give me any advice. Recently I put my car into Audi for a diagnostic on a noise I had for a while but couldnt pinpoint what it was. I thought it was a wheel bearing but Audi have said that its a noisy rear Diff. They want 3,500 for a replacement but Im trying...

Hi, I have a 2004 A8 4.0 TDI. Yesterday all was working ok. Today the door locking and opening systems on the handles have stopeed working. I can still open and close the car with the key, no issues and the car still starts with the key in my pocket but when I grab a handle with the key in my...

Have got a little further with this, had the speaker checked out and it doesnt seem to be torn or broken, however the audio guys that looked at it cant tell if the popping is happening cos the speaker isnt up to it (although it pops at low volume as well as high) or its somehow the amplifier...

Hi, I have recently updated my A8 MMI sat-nav to the 2009 disk, and also had my MMI software updated (It was errr very far out) I have now discovered I Can get 3-D Mapping (although not sure if it was the MMI update or the disc update that did it) My question is this. Why doesnt the Sat...

Hi, I appear to have developed a popping in my subwoofer I think on really low punchy tunes.. I think its the sub could be one of the others, not sure.. Anyway basically I want to get to the speakers to see if any of them are damaged.. but low and behold no screws to be found.. anyne give...

As a matter of interest Craig, where are you based? only asked because I do like the look of your optical parking sensors.. :) and havent seen them anywhere else. Just wondered what the journey would be if I wanted something like that doing.

Craig, Had the Gateway 500 fitted today, have a question. In the second link you gave it shows folders of your Ipod, do you only get folder like views ona n Ipod? I have just attached a pen drive and I have to say I dont find it the easiest thing to navigate round. Its not too bad as I...

Hi guys, Can anyone tell me what I can do to get MP3 playing capability out of the MMI on my 04 A8 TDI 4.0. Can I just somehow change the CD player in the glovebox? but an addon so I can plug in a MP3 player? or am I doomed to only having CD's? thanks

Thanks for that craig, my SW is D3-HU 6300 07.7.0.0406 HW is D3-HU 6343D2.0 Does that mean anything? how do I do an MMI upgrade? or is that something that Audi have to do? And can you give me any clues the process I need to follow to get my own phone paired with the MMI.. im not sure even if...

Hi, Quick question if I may. I have a 2004 A8 4.0 TDI, and was wondering if theres any way I can use my normal phone to connect to the bluetooth on the car? or do I have to buy one of the Audi phones to fit in the cradle? If I can what do I need to make sure is there to do this? and can...

Hi, I have an 04 A8 with a 6 disk glovebox changer. does anyone know if there any direct replacements so that the changer can read MP3 discs? Thanks M.

Yeah , have just replaced both batteries as to start with the car kept saying couldnt find key for the keyless start.. strange.. will ask Audi when I next go but cant see any reason thats the worst part.. thanks for the reply though

Right, Sorry for flooding the forum, but new car new things... ya know :) Anyway having a wierd problem with the keyless entry system on my car, as far as I can ascertain, you can open and close the car with the key fob like a normal car, or you can walk up to it and it opens and when you...

S8craig, Is that a 2008 disc? and would it be uk and western europe or just uk? Thanks

Guys, The disc I have in my satnav looks like the original 2003-2004 disc, and Audi seem to want a fortune to upgrade it. I was looking around ebay etc but am confused at which disc I need as there are 2 satnav types. I have the MMI in my car so presume I need one for that but noone seems to...

I do live in East Anglia, and we have Clive Atthowe, have already asked him and he says he can do it using Oscarli, one of their tuning partners... Still thinking about that, but he is only just round the corner.. just trying to figure out whether its better to have the torque or the BHP...
