Audi replaced the charging socket and the Technical guy responsible has assured me this will fix the 12v Depletion when the car is standing. He said the issue was that the car's internal systems that should shut down were not shutting down and that this was due to the faulty operation of the...

@Vic20, @JKP and all - Car went in to Audi yesterday and they plugged in their diagnostic kit etc. They've found issues centred around the car's Charging Socket. Had a long discussion with the technician but he bamboozled me talking about the Socket's "Lock Pin". I confirmed that the plug...

@Vic20 - Yes I meant e-tron lol!

@Vic20 You are of course quite right and this was the case when I did my previous post. The dealership didn't say anything about alternators, it was just me being too general again! No I trust my dealership - been with then for many years now. Yestersay I travelled 45 miles to help my...

Thanks @JKP much appreciated. Well hopefully the dealership will put my mind in order next Thursday. I'm worried as well that a replacement 12v battery is going to cost me - I'm in the 12 months Audi Warranty that the dealership gave me when I purchased the car last August as the 3-year from...

Yes I suppose 25 miles isn't too bad. Yesterday I went on several local runs in the car stopping and starting numerous times and not a single issue! The dealership (via a technician) said a couple of interesting things: - 1. That the HV Charging doesn't charge the 12v battery and so I must...

Car booked into Dealership for next Thursday to have system fully checked over

Ok so the charge overnight went well, no issues at all and it went in accordance with all the others so my phone said via myAudi :) I disconnected the charging cable and then immediately switched on my car via the Button (ie; car was ready to go out on a drive) - not a single warning light came...

Thank you @Vic20 your post is extremely helpful. I must presume my A3 Owners Manual is too general lol! Before even thinking of charging the 12v battery now, I'll see what tomorrow's HV charge brings to the table and then I'll ring my Dealership. Not sure though what could be draining te...

Thanks @Vic20 . So are you saying that the battery shown in the above photos is not a battery then? Before I went away there were 20 miles appx in the High Voltage Battery available and this morning there were about 10 miles. In both instances the 12v battery recovered. In this cold weather...

BUMP I'd be grateful if someone could help me please. This issue ocurred again today justifying that my 12v Battery is completely out which can, I understand, cause chemical reactions and kill the battery altogether! Today again I had the Yellow and Red warnings - interestingly today, the...

Last week I went away over 5 nights and left my car standing. When I got home and switched it on to go somewhere I got a Total Electrical Failure message which included the yellow waring on the Virtual Cockpit and a Red Battery warning on MMI. Fortunately it started and after a return journey...

I agree - I wasn't confident tbh despite your extremely helpful information regarding this issue, for which I sincerely thank you

Yes until you cause a crash on say a busy road/motorway and it's due to the non-fully inserted plug. Insurance companies will not cover. But if you want to take the risk then of course it's down to individuals Just saying

I was going to rely on my inspection too, such as it was but soon after my daughter got a letter too in respect of her '22 Q2. I was also very worried that if we did not have this carried out by Audi themselves this could come back to haunt in the future - you really need to have this...
