Hi Guys,
This is my first post and unfortunately itâs to do with a problem!
I own a 08 remapped and DPF removed A3 2.0TDI PD170.
About 3 weeks ago when driving home it cut out without warning all the lights came up on the dash and (!)BRAKES came up on the DIS display. I left it a few minutes and it started again, only to cut out again 10 yards down the road.
Next day I had it up Audi, they did a full fault code scan and it came up with no codes. So it took it back to the remap place and they couldn't find any issues either.
Itâs been fine for the past few weeks but now itâs starting to do it only when the cars been sitting on my drive for the night or when I come to restart it soon after I have turned it off. It would start again if I left it a while.
Last night it did the same while at a dealership, I left it for a few hours and it wouldn't turn over. So I called out a breakdown van, he did a scan and found nothing, checked the battery and it was fine, disconnected it and still nothing. The brake fluid is full, the brake pads are fine. He tried the trick with unlocking the car with the key and not the fob and it still came up with the same message. He has never come across this either. So I had to get it taken home on a low loader where itâs sitting now.
Has this ever happened to anyone? Or does anyone have any ideas what it could be? I've tried the spare key and that didn't work either, I've ran out of possibilities now.
Any help would be more than appreciated!
Cheers guys
