    A3 8Y - Electrical system fault: Stop Vehicle

    This is how it all started with mine and uts due back in on the 26th April for the 4th time! Audi Basingstoke have been great but they can only do what is advised by Audi Germany and they dont seem to have a clue!

    A3 8Y - Electrical system fault: Stop Vehicle

    Just to update you all: I have not had any warning lights since the last software update. However the MMI is still re-nitialising at random times. On Saturday the screen went completely blank and wouldnt come back on. I switched the car off and restarted it twice and it stayed blank. The...

    A3 8Y - Electrical system fault: Stop Vehicle

    Mine is back in the workshop again! The same warnings came up so the new alternator has not fixed the issues. I was only 5 mins away from the dealership when the warning came up so went straight to the dealership and kept the engine running to retain the fault codes. (Apparently 6 of them). I...

    A3 8Y - Electrical system fault: Stop Vehicle
