    Alarm keeps activating after locking

    What's going on with the rear seats!? Been doing some testing, seems that deactivating rear occupancy detection each time I turn off the ignition has fixed my alarm issue. Will still take it back to Audi, see if they can sort it.

    Alarm keeps activating after locking

    Oh interesting, good to know thanks. Guess I'll just give the car to Audi and see what they come up with.

    Alarm keeps activating after locking

    Chaps and chapettes, will Audi get ****** if I clear fault codes using VCDS? It's thrown up a whole bunch of errors, nothing has been cleared since it left the factory by the looks. Chassis Type: FU-AU40 (85F) Scan: 01 02 03 09 13 15 16 17 19 22 29 2C 32 36 39 42 44 46 51 52 5F 61 69...

    Alarm keeps activating after locking

    Ok thanks, will try disabling the rear seat sensor, see if it improves. There's definitely nothing on the rear seats so maybe a faulty sensor. A friend has a HEX-V2 he can plug in so will check for fault codes also. Thanks for the tip!

    Alarm keeps activating after locking

    Had the new S5 for a month now. My alarm keeps activating itself ~5 seconds after locking via the key fob. Doesn't seem to matter what key I use and whether interior monitor is on/off. Any ideas before I take it back to Audi? I tend to get home post 10pm each night, neighbours are getting...

    Where is all the chat about the new S5 Avant?

    Took delivery of my B10 S5 Avant today, but there's nowhere to talk about it!

    Service Schedule (wrong in app)

    Thanks all for checking. I think even if the service interval is meant to be longer than 12 months I’ll still get it serviced now anyway!

    Service Schedule (wrong in app)

    My car is approaching a year old (crikey!) and was looking at booking it in for it's first service. (No, I didn't get the oil changed after the run in period...) I checked the app which seems to suggest that it doesn't need its first oil change until December which would mean I would have had...

    Saloon Boot not opening fully

    I am indeed! I’ve asked Audi UK to confirm what should be happening by design since my local dealer seemed to suggest my boot was fine. Will report back if I get anywhere.

    Saloon Boot not opening fully

    Are you sure about this? I had an old 8v S3 saloon which always opened fully by itself and so I presumed the 8y would follow suit. I wonder if there's any way to get this confirmed by Audi...

    Saloon Boot not opening fully

    Hello all. Im not completely sure how the saloon boot works but I presume there is a spring somewhere which forces the boot open when the latch is released. The problem I’m having is 50% of the time the boot is getting stuck after I release the latch and doesn’t open fully. Im wondering if it...

    ASR exhaust valve controller

    Out of interest, will you guys deactivate or remove the unit when you take the car into Audi for a service? Fitted today. Wow, what a difference!

    Noise when turning

    I get the whining occasionally when turning in reverse. Sounds awful but an Audi tech told me it happens in all A3 cars and not to worry about it...

    Wow what’s happened to the M2 [emoji1787]

    I'm so conflicted. From some angles it looks f'ckn awesome. From others its absolutely horrendous.

    ASR exhaust valve controller

    1st gear acceleration problem

    During light acceleration in first gear from a standstill the car is feeling a little wobbly (wobbly???). Kind of like the clutch is having a hard time providing a smooth pull away. I'm not getting any unusual noises or clutch smell, it just feels pretty uneven between 0 - 10mph or so. It's been...

    Anyone hardwired a dashcam yet (with parking monitor feature)

    Likewise - I wasn't able to find a ground easily at all. The bolts which I used for my 8V don't work in the 8Y. At the moment the ground is connected to a bolt with some electrical tape whilst I try and find a nut that fits (no idea where to start to be honest. Hardware store maybe...?)

    Anyone hardwired a dashcam yet (with parking monitor feature)

    @chevy117 What bolt did you end up using in the end?
