    MMI Update Software

    Hi I need to get my MMI firmware and maps updated as they're really out of date and also the DAB keepings cutting in and out constantly which, having read around, might be partly down to the MMI firmware needing an update.

    Brake sensor

    Hi I have a question in relation to the brake sensor on my b8.5 S4. The green light comes on, usually after going over a big bump or in the wet, when driving. The pads have got about 70% left on them. I've checked. Now I know the sensor is on drivers side front and is just a piece of wire...

    Hi So another electrical gremlin has surfaced.... i can't help but think this is linked to the fact the car doesn't think the battery is being charged or something is draining the battery while the car is off.....

    Stupid Question incoming - B8.5 Steering

    Hi, quick one... and probably a stupid question. Am i right in thinking that the b8.5's don't have a steering fluid reservoir because the steering is electric? In other words i don't have to check the fluid level ever? I've noticed it make a slight noise on full lock (both ways) when going...

    4 days into ownership and first issue has arrived!
