    Facelift S3 airbag light

    Hi all, My airbag fault warning light is on and I’ve tried to reset it using Carista but it comes back on again after a short drive. I’ve had no accidents and has anyone got any ideas? My local garage who I trust, says it will need the bumper off to replace the front crash sensor which all...

    Gear selector issues, warning light

    I’ve had this problem for approximately 18 months, maybe longer and it’s very intermittent. When it comes on it’s always a minute or two after pulling off and the warning disappears after 30 seconds or so. My car is a 2014 1.8 Quattro and it’s obviously auto. Three questions and no guesses...

    MIB Upgrade

    Hi All very good questions and I’ll try to answer all of them: On the plus side + you get apple play; it looks great and feels like a big upgrade to the car + it’s cheaper than upgrading the head unit and getting the associated coding done + you can tweak the audio to improve it. It’s not...

    Strong fuel smell

    I had a strong smell of petrol from my car after having some work done. The mechanic had damaged the fuel regulator when putting the engine cover back on which is easily done. Not making excuses for the mechanic - should’ve known better but it’s worth looking into if you’ve still got this...

    TPMS Retrofit

    What are th3 valves? I have a 2014 1.8tfsi Quattro that’s fully loaded but no tpms. I regularly suffer from tyre pressure loss despite replacing tyres and having my alloys scrubbed and polished. I’ve heard retro fitting tpms is risky but is there an alternative 3rd party solution that anyone...

    Audi A3 8V Carplay

    I have an IMI-1000 unit bought off eBay for £210 which I think is same unit you’re looking at. Just a few things to note: -Be patient with the install and allow half a day at least. The cabling is tight and it took me a few goes (removing and refitting glove box) to get everything to fit...

    S-Tronic Oil Change Advice

    Hi there. I have a 2014 1.8T Quattro Auto with 40k miles. The advice I had from my Audi dealer was to change the gearbox oil and filter after 40k miles. Love the car and have no plans to change it so I decided to get it done. There wasn’t much difference in price between independents and...

    Service and Gearbox oil change costs

    Hi all, I have 2014 1.8 Quattro auto that I bought second hand. I absolutely love the car - the spec for the year I think is so rare. It’s done 45k miles now and has always had a Audi service every year but I’m having second thoughts this year. It’s need a full service which is over £300...

    MIB Upgrade

    Thank you. The the coding instructions you posted to enable Aux worked a treat. The volume was a little low like you said and sound quality doesn’t appear to be as good as Bluetooth streaming to B&O Audi MMI but I could be mistaken. Also I can’t seem to get any sound out of Waze yet but it...
