*EDIT TO BELOW* Appears Trafficmaster has indeed stopped broadcasting traffic info, but INRIX continues. So the Merc quoted above probably uses INRIX and VAG use(d) Trafficmaster, so no VAG car will get TMC for the foreseeable...

Out of interest (tried searching online), how much are the adaptive dampers from Audi? Mine has them and she's getting on a bit now....

My car seems to have dropped even TMC traffic now, anyone elses?

Try a factory reset, it's in one of the menus somewhere. But, I suspect you've got a faulty unit there, too many things going wrong.

If you have a car with the control dial, try rebooting by pressing the dial whilst pushing the two shiny switches up, all at the same time. It's like a ctrl-alt-delete. Dunno how to do the equivalent of this on the newer touch-screen downgraded cars.

I only use traffic really, not interested in Weather or Twitter, does it fall back to TMC traffic when the license is up? Mine's due to die at the end of the Month and I won't be renewing just for traffic.

I spoke too soon in my post earlier in this thread, it DID clear itself but came back, extended warranty covered in full, new control unit, etc. Chap at Warrington Audi reckoned it would have been an approx £1500 bill. Warranty paid for itself in one claim.

This has happened to me both times I let the adblue warning get below 1000 miles (might have been closer to 800 miles?), engine light on, adblue fault. Put adblue in and both cleared themselves very shortly after.

Mine was around £34/month too in the first year for "Named Component". This year I went for "All Component" and it's £42/month. I find this value for money for the peace of mind it brings.

Could also be the white balance setting on the cameras.

I paid Warrington Audi £225 for an s-tronic service early last year.

I get the impression the advice was specific to current models.

Did a quick search and found the following members with the same if not similar issues; @BigAardvaark @Smickers @Spearo @Timothy! @Corbula @WesT-gefül @BeagleKCH @Tedic15 There was a telling line in one of these threads, someone in the know had said to a potential buyer "Check the A/C...

"beginning to look like" is hardly conclusion reached. Time will tell.

Your A4 and A3 are exactly as my previous VAG cars have been, faultless, and I've had 9 of them now. Never had the A/C serviced on any of them. Most were over 5 years old when I moved on, some 100,000+ miles. The 1st fault I had fixed at 20 months old was also classed as an A/C service but 9...
