It’s cracking to have isn’t it! Glad to hear it’s been sorted.

I’ve DMd you mate.

If anyone ever finds themselves in my position, I ended up buying the kit from Kufatec for just over £135 and had it coded fitter and coded for £70 by a mobile autoelectrician. Job done, hope it gives others some confidence to go ahead with it if needed!

Thanks mate, I’ll give them a shout.

It really is as simple as that, I just can’t seem to find anyone locally who has the confidence to take that approach! I wouldn’t mind doing it myself, just more comfortable with electrics in the home than the car.

I can appreciate that - I’ll PM you.

I’m in Shipley: I’ve had a couple of VAG retrofit guys say it’s compatible, but sadly just that bit too far away to make it viable. My car does have hill start assist and the wiring diagram looks straightforward enough: I’m just not chancing touching it myself! Why it doesn’t come with it is...

Hi guys, I’d like the following kit to be fitted to my car: I’ve had the VIN checked and it’s compatible. Anyone up for the task? https://www.kufatec.com/en/assist-park/auto-hold-hill-hold/complete-kit-auto-hold-hill-start-assist-for-audi-a4-8w-a5-f5-42105

Hi Nigel, I’ve just taken it for a quick spin to check, it does seem to have it: brake to a stop on a hill and the A with a circle around it comes up and it stops for 3 seconds or so. I can PM you my vin if it helps?

Hi guys, A return to the forum after several years away. I’m after somebody to supply and fit Autohold to my 2016 A4 Avant. The car’s been specced with seemingly everything under the sun but that; I’m missing it dreadfully following coming from a 2017 Tiguan. I’m based in West Yorkshire. Thanks!

Depending where abouts you are - More-BHP in Cheshire quoted £550.00: a couple in Bradford quoted £400.00 for what it's worth!

Very well indeed! The 8P3 I had with the 1.9 TDI 105 PD was very good on fuel, better than the 2.0 TDI CR I have now - particularly on more local runs.

Definitely sounds like sticking vanes from what you've described: 33,000 over four years points to a car that has been driven locally often. I would wager you'd notice this more then you're in 5th or 6th gear? I used Forte Turbo Cleaner and haven't had the issue since.

I know a gent in West Yorkshire who would do something like that for perhaps £60 or maybe even less. I'm quite sure somebody will exist in your neck of the woods to do a similar job!

The only thing which is near-enough impossible to get installed is the digital climate control: the rest of it is very much doable. Good luck with your search!
