    Help Please Fault Code 00471

    Fair point, see as follows. Following the carista instructions, all ADS options are enabled via the carista, you then need to alter 2 options in the green menu, these both come back to the ADS being referred to as 'charisma' in the green menu. Following the fault codes I then reversed the 2...

    Help Please Fault Code 00471

    Afternoon Folks, When attempting to find if I could enable the ADS option via my carista app, I am now finding I have a recurring fault code, 00471 'Controller for EGD electronically regulated absorption (J250)'. As far as I am aware I don't have electronically adjustable suspension on my car or...

    Afternoon Desert, Those removal processes with diagrams are extremely helpful, I don't suppose you would have something similar for the DPF removal on a A4 B8 quattro? Cheers,

    Changing MMI 3G basic

    Has this now allowed you to enable Bluetooth playback via the green menu? I am quite interested in this as I didn't think I could easily or cheapily modify my 3g lo to 3g hi.

    Help Please 170 avant tdi quattro fuel consumption

    The winter cold/winter diesel is not a suspect in this case as when I bought it, it was getting the same mpg as I am getting now and it was 20 odd degrees then and just at the end of autumn. I have had it plugged in and thoroughly checked, clearing previous codes that were still in memory, the...

    Green Menu on A4 B8 MMI3G

    As I stated, I now have access to the green menu, I was trying to get help in understanding it and what I can/cannot do on my model. I only have an AUX plugin, however I think an AMI plugin would have been better as I have seen bluetooth adapters for them that work well. I have also seen the...

    Belated update, I have had the thermostat done, 4 glowplugs changed and a forged dpf regen. After these changes there has been no mentionable MPG difference, if anything my MPG has went down, I was getting around 450 miles to a tank, now I am getting no more than 400, it is really quite pathetic...

    Help Please 170 avant tdi quattro fuel consumption

    I would be happy with mid 40's at this point but it struggles to hit 33... It would certainly appear that my thermostat is away so I am just trying to source a manual now so I can attempt the job.

    Help Please 170 avant tdi quattro fuel consumption

    Hi Folks, Just bought myself a 2010 170 avant tdi quattro and the mpg seems to be pretty bad, I drove it back from wales and I struggled to get 40mpg. Now that I have it home, on a daily basis I struggle to reach 35mpg in a mix of motorway and short city driving I know this car will never be...

    Possible new owner, what to look?

    Rather ironically the sale has fallen through, his other car has a cracked sump so he can't sell the A4 until he sorts his A6, so I have moved on. I have put a deposit on this 2010 2.0l 170bhp quattro instead, 115k miles, FSH (mostly audi) cam belt and water pump done at 90k, I am ruddy happy!

    Possible new owner, what to look?

    Hi Folks, I have put a deposit on a 2010 A4 Avant S-line special edition 121k, sadly it is in worcester and I am in central belt scotland so the best I have had thus far is questions and videos. Is this anything in particular I should be looking at when looking before I pay the full amount? It...
