Hi all,

I've got a 62 reg Audi A4 Avant Black Edition (1.8 TFSI) with 104k miles on the clock..

Recently it has started to develop some issues which is typical as i'd like to sell it as barely using it anymore.

1. PDC have just started to not work.. orange light flashed on the button
2. Air Con won't cool or heat up
3. When I engage reverse, the car takes a little bit of time to engage the gear. (is this normal)
4. Lights and started pointing in different directions.. (think cross-eyed)
5. Second key doesn't work

Anyway, I'd like to get this all fixed as otherwise the car is perfect and is very well looked after and spotless inside and out.

Any tips on where to take it and what sort of bill to expect before selling?

Bought from Pinner Motors last Jan for 12k, full service history and will be serviced before selling.

Would like to get at least 10k.

Thank you all! Based in London SW

Not so sure about the others but might just need your Air Con servicing (recommended every 2 years) and the second key a simple battery change.

Thank you!

Going to use GermanTech in New Malden so fingers crossed it isn't more serious.
 
No worries, is the car manual or auto? That reverse problem sounds odd and if it's Auto I'd definitely get it checked. If manual could be the clutch isn't fully depressed, I sometimes find this when I select gear 1 as I do so "loosely" which causes it to sit in the gear but not actually register. I have to take it out of gear, lift clutch and try again to get it to work. Only happens rarely and just my error.
 
hi, yes it is an Auto box.. so yes getting it checked

eeek
 
Fwd or 4wd, as the difference in gearboxes is substantial, multitronics are known as chocolate boxes, however it may not be this drastic.

Pdc could be a multitude, sensor, connector loose, module, ideally a scan would be best.

2nd key starts the car but remote not working? Try swapping battery from each remote.

Lights need adjusting in mot mode then adjust in an mot bay with the lense.

I'm in tolworth tomorrow for a client if you want a callout to you to look at key & pdc.
 
Thanks for that, it is the FWD

I'm away tomorrow, booked it in with GermanTech next week to get a full check up

Could meet you next week if you are about?

Thanks again!
 
I have owned 3 B8 multitronics, pulled trailers and done tens of thousands of miles without an issue. Oil change at 3 years/60,000 miles does make them smoother.
 
Brilliant, yes I hoping an oil change will help!
