Thanks for taking the time to reply Andy1963. A damp/corroded earth would make sense as it been steadily get more reliable as i've used the car but its still resets very time. If I can find the can-bus systems I might try to check it is dry. Otherwise i'm going to leave a dehumidifier in it...

Hi All, I've recently started to experience problems with my onbaord computer. Firstly when I started the car a week or so ago the computer display in the middle of the dash did not come on (mileage and seperate trip was ok). After about 10 minutes it sprange back into life but since then has...

I recently replace the air conditioning evaporator on my A6, which worked a treat however I have since been having an issue with the auxiliary fan kicking in almost all the time, which I believe should only happen when the car is getting too hot. If I switch the air con off the fan stops so...

Recieved cheap lead and software today off eBay and its done the job. No light on and just hoping it stays off now.

Thanks for your reply Cockney Boy. I’ve ordered a cheap cable of eBay this morning as it was only £8 so thought it was worth a shot. Done some more research and it appears other people have had the same problem after removing steering wheels etc . Just hoping the Ross-tech software...

We'll after spendingbest part of a day changing my air con evaporator I'm now left with an aibag light on constantly!! I did everything to the letter with regards removal/installation and have spent a good hour double checking all the connections are ok. Is it worth getting one of those...

Managed to get an evaporator from a Hella importer near Oxford, which cost £200 (£70 less than Audi Reading) then changed it myself. Was an absolute bitch of a job an probably took me nearly 9 hours. Audi seem to have a good nack of making simple jobs very very hard!! Just waiting to get it...

Audi A6 2.8 V6 Quattro Avant 1999 - Air Conditioning Evaporator I tried to get my air con re-gased last week only to be told that there is a leak from the evaporator inside the cabin and that I need a new one. After some research (Elswin manual) and having a dig around it would appear...

Email rec'd yesterday from Audi UK approving my claim on a goodwill basis. Bearing in mind it was refused twice before i'd almost given up hope!! Thanks bantam1. ps. mine is an A6 but exactly the same problem with roof gutter!

Eventually got an email from Audi UK yesterday followed by a phone call from the local dealership about 2hrs later to book my car in to have the work done as a gesture of goodwill!! Bearing in mind i'd already had it rejected twice I did not hold up much hope of anything being done but...

Cheers for the reply. I'm glad to hear someone has had some joy!! What do you think they will say if parts of the car have been resprayed?? I'm pretty sure the roof has not been touched but the boot lid was resprayed a while ago but not by Audi! Will keep trying with Audi but think i'll go...

I’ve been having an ongoing discussion with my local Audi dealership and Audi UK’s customer services over corrosion/rust to my roof gutters. As far as I’m concerned I’ve done everything required in the conditions of the 12yr paint warranty but they just keep rejecting the claim. Initially they...

Does anyone know the best address to use if I want to write to Audi UK in relation to a warranty claim, which my local dealership have rejected on the basis that Audi Uk have rejected it! I know if I write to the dealer I will just get the same repsonse. If no one has a mail address how...

Thanks jojo, Guess its just going to be a case of looking hard for one from a breakers. Alex

Hi, Does anyone know where I may be able to buy either a new, secondhand or reconditioned Haldex unit for a 2003 A3 1.8T Quattro Sport. I've seen 1 on 'that' auction website but is says its off a Golf 4motion but i'm not sure how I can tell if it will fit my car?? Are they like gearboxes...

Whilst heading on holiday last week my car made a nice pop followed by a cloud off smoke whilst doing about 80mph down a dual carriageway. Apparently a hole has been blown through the Torsen Differential houisng part of the gearbox by a piece of the diff. According to Audi etc this means and...
