    Rear light cluster (tailgate) shorted / corroded connector

    I've just done this on our Golf. I presume it's the earth pin that's failed? Does the grey plastic piece allow you to take it off the cluster? I was able to get the parts all separate and including repair wire for (earth in my case) was around £65. I modified the new part to run another earth...

    After six years with a troublesome early C7 Allroad, I'm considering a newer second-hand model: should I go for a low mileage late C7 or an early C8?

    Can't say as I've had the issues you speak of but only at 85k. I've had injector seals replaced at my insistence because they're ultimately not a lifetime part. Mine is a BiTdi but otherwise the same. It's serviced yearly and never at the main dealer since I've had it. Audi main dealer did do...

    Audi a6 c7 connect to phone hotspot

    Google earth maps have been dropped by Audi on the C7 C7.5. It is not data you're short of, it's a software setting that Audi didn't want to update/pay for etc. It works in other platforms, but it was intermittent for a while and now does not work, along with live traffic data. Presumably that's...

    Q5 Air con CAUSING screen mist

    It is condensation. The air con is working extremely well making the inside cold but the outside is warm. Is the windscreen clean or is there any coating/polish causing it to mist? Sent from my SM-S908B using Tapatalk

    A6 C7 Allroad Suspension Dropped and Adaptive Light Fault!

    I'd still suggest checking compressor first. 2017? It will have cycled many times and nothing lasts forever. If your suspension dropped it could even be (unlikely) a faulty valve block. Can you fill the air tank and raise the car that way? The lights are related to the level being incorrect, you...

    A6 C7 Allroad Suspension Dropped and Adaptive Light Fault!

    So did the warning lamp come on because the compressor wasn't/isn't working?

    A6 C7 Allroad Suspension Dropped and Adaptive Light Fault!

    So purely looking at this logically. The warning lamp came on when the suspension collapsed? Does the compressor run? Have you noticed the car sagging prior to the collapse?

    Parking Aid Fault on 2015 Avant

    Irrespective of what module is fitted, the loom will have minimal differences. I still strongly suspect that the loom is broken just after it comes into the car. A continuity meter will help pinpoint the fault, but ideally, the bumper needs removing and the loom taking off it. It is a simple job...

    Parking Aid Fault on 2015 Avant

    Mine is a facelift and it is definitely in there. Depending what time I finish work tonight, I'll send you a pic. I'm surprised you can't find it

    Parking Aid Fault on 2015 Avant

    The rears plug into the module nr fuse box, and a loom from the front sensors comes to the module, and finally a third loom goes to the car for power and can wires etc. Box is very roughly 100mm square and 30mm thick, and will be pushed and clicked into the rack behind the suspension/fuel filler...

    Parking Aid Fault on 2015 Avant

    Right rear, near fuse box behind the panel you unlock with a quarter turn. It's clipped in one of the racks. Easier to look behind the panel where it comes into the car, roughly underneath the outer light but inline with the sensor area and follow to the module that way. Sounds complicated but...

    Parking Aid Fault on 2015 Avant

    Check from the module to where it goes to the outside. I bet the ground wire broken in the loom

    How easy is it to change a DLR bulb?

    Either that or a brave total strip down of the unit. Either way it's not a simple fix
