    fuel gauge reading incorrectly

    E Even allowing for this I’ve never seen a predicted 360 mile range after completing 208 miles.

    fuel gauge reading incorrectly

    I have access to VCDS although I’ve only ever used it to alter features. How do I go about scanning for faults?

    fuel gauge reading incorrectly

    My 2014 1.4COD seems to have developed a fault with the fuel gauge. My wife filled it up to full at 43,256 miles with 42 litres of petrol. The mileage is now showing 43,464 (so 208 miles covered) and yet the gauge is still showing almost full. It is also showing 360 miles of range available...

    Wet carpets inside A3 Sportback

    Fortunately we had good Easter weather so took advantage to sort the wet car out. I managed to remove the felt matting in the boot (trunk) and it dried very quickly, as did the sub-woofer. The rear carpet is taking longer but constant blotting with towels plus a fan heater is working. I managed...

    The instructions that he sends are very comprehensive. He sends a file attached to an email, your put it on an SD card, insert in the car and the system then copies info to the card. You email Nik with the contents of the card and he sends another file which patches the system. From then on you...

    Since the latest maps have become so large I found you couldn’t just download onto the card. I download to my computer first. Then copy the files from the computer to the empty card and that works for me (using a Mac).

    Wet carpets inside A3 Sportback

    Thanks for your message "there are some fixings under the polystyrene tool holder sections" - I don't appear to have any tool holder sections - just the jack which is fixed to the floor of the boot. My tools are in a section behind a "door" on the offside. But I appreciate you responding anyway. .

    Wet carpets inside A3 Sportback

    OMG! When I opened the boot and lifted the floor there was a lake inside the spare wheel well - literally at least an inch of water. The sub-woofer was full of water so I tipped most out but am not sure if I can open it up or whether it is a write-off? I scooped the water out from the spare...

    Now that Nik has "fixed" my MMI for all future map updates I now go onto the VW site (because Golfs come with free maps and use the same maps as Audi!!): https://app-connect.volkswagen.com/mapupdates/en/car/#selection 1. Select Golf Until 2015, Discover Pro (MIB 1), 2. Select Europe (or...

    Wet carpets inside A3 Sportback

    I have a serious leak inside my A3 on the passenger side - front and rear wells. After I washed the car today and removed the rubber mats I could see that the carpet in the passenger well was wringing wet - not just damp but water was covering the rear carpet. And when I checked the front...

    Can't comment about doing it yourself but message me if you want the details of a man in Bulgaria who can give you lifetime map updates for a very reasonable fee. He did mine and it is perfect and he provided Google Earth overlay also.

    Battery replacement

    As per my posts above I fitted a new AGM battery and have no issues with StopStart. You did recode the battery technology to FLEECE and not AGM didn't you? I HATE StopStart and have subsequently deactivated it!

    Battery replacement

    OK contrary to my post above when I connected the VCDS cable to my car it was very simple - interesting that with the new AGM battery installed the car must have recognised the battery technology as FLEECE was already in that box. There was nothing in the manufacturer box so I put in UNK for...

    Battery replacement

    I've been looking at YouTube videos for battery replacement (I haven't connected VCDS to my car yet). But which is the screen where I input Fleece as the type of battery - the only entries shown on the videos are Battery Adaptation - Size, Battery Adaptation - Manufacturer and Battery Adaptation...
