Oh, that's interesting. I have been meaning to swap the MAF at some point as I have another issue of 'hiccuping' for a few minutes from a cold start that I thought the MAF would be responsible for. I have no idea how it would relate to engine temp, unless you know the science behind it? Either...

I did read whilst researching for mine that the 2.0TDI has two stats. Mine is the 2.0tfsi so unfortunately just the one as I thought I was onto something there!

Wow! Loads to comments here that I've missed. I did look around for the secret menu key combination to see if that could give me any clues. Any key combination online didn't seem to work with my climate control unit though unfortunately. Also, the air coming out of the vents does seem to go...

Update to this: I have changed the stat for a second time to a new one and the issue still persists (was just as much of a pig to do as the first time). I was hoping that the first changed stat would be faulty and this one would fix it but no luck. Still observing the same behaviour, where it...

Filled with coolant to max line, started the engine and left it to reach operating temp with the cap off. Then topped it up.

I was wondering if there was some value in the menu below could be off? https://www.audiworld.com/tech/int5.shtml Or, if there were some sort of mechanical stat/flaps that should regulate how much heat the CC unit can draw from the coolant loop that may be broken in my case?

Thanks for taking all the time to give me that much info! However, whilst I agree completely with you, on reevaluation. I think this is different to what I actually thought. The car will heat up perfectly without any issues, regardless of outside temperature providing the climate control unit...

So did a further experiment on my drive home by driving the whole way with the climate control unit completely off. The car heated up to 90c within around 10-15 mins as you'd expect a normal car to do so and stayed there. This was the same drive as I did this morning where the car wouldn't get...

Thanks for the comments so far guys. I did some testing on my lunch break out in the car park. I started the car from cold, turned climate control completely off and timed it - Took 15 minutes to reach 90 at 3c outside. (Seems perfect to me) Whilst heating up, felt around the coolant pipes...

Hi guys, So, I've owned my A3 just over a year now and I'm slowly catching up on things that haven't been fixed or been neglected by previous owner. One that has alluded me though is the engine not reaching the correct running temperature.. When I first had it, it would get up to 60c and stay...

Great, I'll do that tonight! Thank you! After doing so, do I need to do anything when exciting the car? Or is it a case of the lights being turned off but when I open the door they will turn on until I lock it?

Not seen this done before, I quite like it! I think it compliments the rear diffuser well, will do even more so after a plasti dip, like you mentioned.

I tried: Driving with lights on, stopping, engine off, lights off flash main beam (once and twice) and then getting out and locking. - Nothing happened Driving with lights on, stopping, engine off, leaving lights on - Lights just stay on and never go off

I saw that trick but if earthing the wire is just like a 'switch' is that not like turning it on in Carista? Or is the wire trick for turning on something else to go with the setting in the ECU?

Thanks for the advice but can't see anything in there that applies to me unfortunately. It may be because I've only used Carista instead of actual VCDS or that my car comfort module just doesn't support it at all. All I've got in Carista is the option to turn on Coming home and Leaving home...

Following on from the above, I recently bought a Carista dongle to retract the electric handbrake on the Mrs' car. Whilst I had it to hand, I thought i'd see what I could do with mine. I enabled the CH/LH function. The car is a 2005 and I don't have auto lights. I don't mind if the CH lights...

Preemptively got the Ezibleed ready to go! Thanks for the recommendation, I'll take a look!

I'm also planning on doing a full brake flush this weekend. Any idea how much fluid I'll need to do it? Also, what's everyone's opinion on comma dot 4? Would anyone recommend something better?

Yeah, I've ordered a few things from them. It's a really useful feature on here. As you say though, I unfortunately need it asap. Ordered it from the stealer around the corner from my work. They were a bit confused on what it was but with the part number you mentioned, they found it.Will be...

Great! Thank you very much for the advice. Looks like I'll be popping into Audi on my lunch break then :hi:
