I have 2009 Dynamic 211bhp version. Its had new engine fitted by Audi at 58k miles about 4 years ago. I have come across forum problem starts around 50k to 60K. My engine used 1L per 2000 miles since the i did a oil service. I have a work collegue recently had the piton ring issues repaired...

I have a 2009 A5 therefore we should both have the MMI system I have such a long list of option on my MMI including what you asking about. In the car setup menu there is a central locking option and in that menu it has option for single door or all door. If you don't have this on the MMI then...

Those CTEK chargers have good reviews. Idea if you drive the car less frequent. AGM batteries do go on for much longer than Acid but typically cost double :) I replaced the battery on my 2009 A5 couple days ago. It was genuine Audi/Molly acid. I would think this was replaced at some point as 11...

Did you find your solution? I been getting weak battery message on my car so did so digging and used OBDeleven to check health of battery. Since you have VCDS this video will answer your question. I followed that video and navigated to OBDeleven and my battery was only 33% SOC and 8AH left of...

Another thing on BMW the start/stop goes to sleep when battery is below 80% charge.. not sure about the Audi as I only got the car less than a month :)

I prefer good old fashion voltmeter to check battery. They cost under a £10 on ebay. Not everyone has complex software :) I think its idea to test the battery after left standing overnight. Below is a voltage charge guide for the AGM battery from web. You have AGM battery since it has...

That's the 1st thing i disable. Extra stress on battery and starter motor. Some even mention stress on timing chain but unsure of that. I switched that off on my previous BMW and original factory AGM battery went on for 8 years until replacing.

I am based IG3 ilford Essex. If you nearby happy to help when the hardware arrives :)

My 1st task is alarm beep on lock. Will leave the silent unlock. Then the battery level monitor. My car already came with needle sweep, side mirror folding via remote and window open/close via remote so few jobs already ticked :) 100 credits about £12.99. I think basic coding is 10 credits and...

Still waiting for delivery of the adapter :) Came with 10 free credits but you can get 6 daily points but viewing 6 shorts adverts LOL. For average DIY person like myself wont need to purchase any credits..the free advert credits be plenty

Delete this post please Admin. Purchased OBDeleven pro from their website £55 plus £4 postage. Seems this app can do most functions for average DIY person :)

Hi guys I appreciate Ross-Tech is the best but just looking at cheaper option 1st. I just need basic maintenance such as 1. Fault reading/clearing 2.Battery register. Including change size 3. E-Brake service I understand it does code reading but can anyone confirm if it does battery update...

Oh boy that sounds fun..can't imagine what my neighbours think when I am doing that :redface new: I put some white A4 paper on the edge of the wheel well to see if any part the paper gets wet and change colour but nothing.. Ok so my next step is to remove the boot carpet and place paper all...
