40 here, love it! Must be one of the best hybrids about. I have done a 300 mile journey from full charge, loaded up, hybrid mode and achieved 72 MPG with 2 miles left on the battery at destination. (Some pics of similar in the TFSIe topic). A recent 200 mile journey it was closer to 80mpg It...

Yes, does sound odd doesn't it, the 12v system you'd think would be way down the line from the charging socket but I wouldn't be surprised if it's involved in the datacomms side of the connection to the EVSE. If that was intermittent for some reason, maybe charging could be unreliable.

Looks like a moth landed on the paint in-between coats and left some of its scales behind!

To adjust the volume of the route guidance, wait till the guidance is talking (or make it repeat the last instruction) and adjust the volume control during the audio. The slider that appears on screen will denote the voice.

I guess it should really be in 'A3 Sportback e-tron' thread as it has more commanalities with that variant.

Rozel No EVs / PHEVs have alternators. They have far more sophisticated electronics to save the weight of this unnecessary energy conversion unit in such vehicles. When the vehicle is running and the HV battery is too low, 12v power from the voltage converter unit is derived from the electric...

Hi Rozel 25 miles from a cold start with a cold gearbox is ok I'd say, the best I've managed in those sort of temperatures is 33 miles. Best ever in perfect conditions is 42 Yes, as is the case with all EVs, the 12v battery is smartly charged from the HV battery via a voltage converter but...

Looks like our posts crossed. No, the unit you mention under the bonnet is the inverter unit, converts the 400v of the HV DC into 3 phase AC amongst other things like regen and definately NOT to be touched. Anything with orange cables is HV and stay away! " I think you are being very general...

What was the charge level of the HV battery when you parked up? As the vehicle doesn't have an alternator, the case with EVs and Hybrids is usually that the 12V battery is kept charged through the HV system. If the HV battery charge level is low or it detects an issue with the 12v battery, it...

A cold start in colder weather takes the most out of the battery I find. I think this must be something to do with the gearbox warming up.

Mine's 2 years old now and quoted range never varies much between 37-39 and sometimes in very cold weather, 34. The best I have actually managed when driving is 42 under perfect conditions (temp 20 deg, no wind, 50-60 limits with plenty of coasting. )

Yes, climate is available. Can pre heat / cool depending on the weather. Also in the app on the 'e' , set charging times to suit cheap electricity periods and preheat for a set departure time.

How does the oil level look on the dipstick? There seems to be a few mentions of this message on some of the other vehicle topics,ranging from blocked DPF in diesels to petrol getting in the oil and actually raising its level. Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Unless things have changed recently, VAG group's acceptable spec for oil consumption was something crazy like 1 litre per 1000 miles. how that makes hydrocarbon emissions acceptable I dont know My 2005 8P TDI, in the 240,000 miles that I had it, never used more than half a litre between the...

The loop that holds the clip up must have been stitched too low. Unless there is a loop of belt stuck in the trim at the bottom. Can you see the end of the belt down there? Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

It's all about safety and risk. Just like why a commercial aircraft's autoland system cannot be used in strong crosswinds and turbulent conditions. Revert to manual! Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I learnt the following from a friend who spent a career lifetime in car development and testing with Ford in Essex.. AO tyres are Audi 'factory fit'. They get, along with most other vehicle manufacturers from the tyre producer, the roundest / best balanced carcasses of a production run. This...
