Well that's it. I've sold my A4 Avant to 'We Buy Any Car'. the whole sorry tale is on the A4 B8 section under ESC problems thread. They offered me just....more than main dealers' part-ex prices, I wouldn't have dreamed of selling on privately so even though the 'We Buy' buyer was probably...

Yes I know, I could have just been unlucky with this car. I remember many years ago during a discussion in the canteen at work as to what was the worst car ever made, some one said... "No... no... the Austin Allegro was the worst car ever, I should know, I had two of them!" The...

Ok. The whole sorry saga. Coolant leaked, tracked up a cable as far as the engine ECU. The pins and sockets of the ECU and the loom were totally corroded and the plastic had melted. The main dealer was correct . The ECU was scrap as was the loom, hence a 5 hour labour charge to repair and...

I've managed to speak to another auto electrician who's going to have a look and give me a second opinion this Friday. Fingers crossed.

Ok, the more I think about it the less I want to spend 2k on a 7 year old car that was worth x last week and still only worth x next week after a 2k repair bill. What about this scenario? 1. The dealer has a car that I like 2. I suggest part-exchanging my car against it 'as is', on the...

The ECU. The coolant has leaked onto cables and capillary action has taken coolant up the cable into the ECU which is showing the faults in my first post. I'm not aware of any problems with the brakes?

Brake light switch?

And the price quoted by the main dealer is... £2094.41 Apparently the coolant sensor valve has been leaking onto a cable going to the ECU, the coolant has tracked along inside it into the ECU. So, it needs a new ECU , coolant sensor valve and associated cabling - 4 hours labour. I...

Thanks, I'd already looked but a senior moment meant I'd missed the correct page. Page 252 128gb Cheers

I've been let down by independents too. My thinking, rightly, or wrongly, is that Audi have all the correct kit to diagnose these kind of issues. Then, if it's an easy fix. say an abs ring or sensor or something then they can fix it. If it's an expensive 'new brain' needed then I'll take...

Hi, I'm about to get an SD card to load with music for my wife's 2018 1.4 Q2 Sport. Does anyone know what's the maximum size card it will take? 32GB? Cheers Paul.

I rang Audi today to book in for diagnostics. I said there's an ESC, EPC, Start-Stop and cruise control fault. "I'll just let you know that we'll have to charge £60 to diagnose each issue so that could be £240" said Kylie or Tracey or whatever the hell her name was. "WHAT?" said I. "It's...

That's interesting. Another issue that I found today is that the cruise control now doesn't work either, there may be more problems still to appear. Is this an issue that will need an Audi dealer to investigate or will an independent have the kit to read the error codes and diagnose what the...

Hi, While driving today the dash suddenly flashed up the following 2 warning messages ; " Stabilisation control (ESC) fault! See owner's manual." And.... " Start-stop system: system fault. Function unavailable." I've never seen either message before and they now flash up every time the...

I apologise in advance for posting a question that may have already been asked or answered but as forums/fora? evolve over the years the info gets a bit confusing. I've got a couple of Garmin GPS units for both my car and my motorbike and I purposely plan routes on the Garmin Basecamp app...

I don't think I'll bother now to be honest, I'll probably be changing the car next year. Funny you should mention tyres, I need 2 for the rear of mine and the dealer today quoted £198 each for Pirelli p zero. I'm booked in at Kwik Fit tomorrow afternoon @ £144.50 each. A saving of £107...

I've just got back from the Audi dealership and on the service invoice is noted... " Static fault logged for aerial." I was told to book it in to get the fault investigated. I've got no idea where the aerial is located in an A4 Avant but I suspect it'll be an expensive lesson to find out...

Coincidentally, I took my car to Audi for a service this morning and asked about the firmware update you mention for the radio, they looked at the car's history and said that there wasn't any outstanding updates for it so I guess it's running the latest firmware already.
