    Facelift MMI Rebooting Itself When Satnav Following a Route

    No errors reported in OBDEleven. I've not run my car for 15 mins without moving, don't really fancy that as it doesn't do it much good, but what would it prove either way?

    Facelift MMI Rebooting Itself When Satnav Following a Route

    Not sure about battery connection. If this was the issue I would see other electrical issues, surely? Also, the reset always occurs after 15-20 minutes of driving. Doesn't ring true that it's a connection issue to me. To verify either of your theories, would monitoring the voltages help? I...

    Facelift MMI Rebooting Itself When Satnav Following a Route

    I have an S3 8V facelift. When following satnav the MMI reboots after about 15 minutes of driving. The screen retracts into the dash and the unit completely powers off before coming back on (without previous destination routed, very annoying). The problem started after I took it for an MOT and...

    Facelift Sat/Nav Virtual Cockpit Broken?

    Take a look at the picture, have you ever seen this before? The satnav pic in the left is not showing where I am/going, it's like the map has been slid to the left so it's totally unusable. The directions on the right have gone crazy also. Tried turning off/on again and removing keys. Sent...

    Facelift Service Questions: Transmission Oil Change vs DSG Oil Change

    My car needs a service and as the dealer gave me real cause for concern last time (Haldex gauze clean...), I rejected their offer of "Transmission Oil Change" and I am taking it to a local Audi specialist for this MOT and service. Firstly, last service was exactly 30k, this time car only done...

    Goodbye Vauxhall (sort of), well hello Audi S3

    er: 139994"] So to celebrate this momentous occasion I had a tweak in VCDS and activated the passenger mirror dip when reversing in bit 2 & 3 long coding for module 52. Works a treat and really does help to stop the nearside rims getting munched against gnarly stuff. Do you need to have...

    GUTTED! :'( Just Crashed My S3 in the Snow

    Just reading about approved repairers using Audi parts vs third party parts. Apparently they will use genuine Audi parts if the vehicle is under 3 years old or - some say - under warranty, as using non-Audi parts will invalidate the warranty. My car has a 12 month extended warranty on top of...

    GUTTED! :'( Just Crashed My S3 in the Snow

    Where I live not far from the sea on the west coast we have less than a day of snow a year on average, most years none. Not worth having to put different tyres on or buy 4 new wheels to change myself. I will chalk this one down to experience, learn from it and move on.

    GUTTED! :'( Just Crashed My S3 in the Snow

    Going for a walk not far from home, being really careful on the drive, following another vehicle but on a short steep downhill section I locked up and as we al know it's then game over as the car simply accelerated down the hill. Aimed for the drystone wall in order to avoid hitting the farmers...
