Hi all, I’ve recently been having the engine management light come on for the EGR insufficient flow (p0401 code). It’s intermittent and comes on once every couple of weeks or so. I’ve done some research on the forums and it’s seems like a right pita to diagnose the exact issue and an EGR...

Hi All, I have managed to perform a number of fixes recently and all of the errors have disappeared except for one pesky one!! It is a frequent error and when I clear it, its always beck within a couple of days. You can see from the VCDS that the frequency of this error is high. It does...

Thought I'd put a quick guide on here of how to reset the one touch facility on a B8 2009 model. I had to disconnect my battery recently and when I reconnected the one touch facility, down and up had stopped working on my driver side window. All other Windows fine. After some internet...

This is my second thread for the day. Yesterday I had a bit of a car repair day where I replaced my indicator stalks (featured in other thread) and complete the swirl flap repair for my 3.0 tdi. I was a little hesitant to complete this but I followed this guide for bank 1...

Just thought I'd write a quick post relating to some indicator issues I had so that if anyone is facing the same issue they know what is involved. I struggled to find any information on this when I started to encounter the issues. So about 2 months ago while I was driving I noticed that my...

Hi, I recently completed a VCDS scan and retrieved the fault 00417 - left front dsp mid-bass speaker (r101) open circuit. I have put my ear to the speaker and yep, it's dead. I've looked on ETKA and it shows the speaker for mine as being 8T0 035 415 (saloon). It's lists the avant model...

Hi all The main reason that I am posting this is so that it is able to be found by other users if they have the same issue in the future with any b8 model car. Mine is a 2009 a4 3.0 tdi Quattro. About 2 days ago, I had a strange issue develop out of nowhere. I turned the engine on and I...

Hi, I've got ongoing problems with my front parking sensors and in Audi's infinite wisdom they decided to disable the whole parking system when a fault is detected. I'm still in the process of trying to fix the problem (having replaced multiple sensors I think it's a wiring problem). My car...

Hi all, I need some help. My factory parking sensors aren't working. I have front and rear sensors on my b8 A4 2009. I scanned with vcds and it shows that the front left sensor is open or short to ground. I've replaced the sensor with a new one and I'm still getting the same fault on the...

Hi, I've had an issue with my parking sensors for some time now. I have a 2009 A4 with front and rear sensors from the factory. The parking sensors started off intermittently not working with the flashing parking button and long beep with no display on the mmi. Now it never works. I have...

Hi, I've got a 2009 B8 A4. The remote locking has randomly stopped working with both main and spare key. The fobs still start the car perfectly. I've seen that the ccm is the thing that receives the remote signal etc. I've scanned with vcds and there were no relevant faults. The ccm is...

Hi all, I've got a very annoying problem. The other day I parked up my vehicle outside my house and all was well. The next morning, I tried to unlock the car and the fob did nothing. The led flashes but no response from car. I thought the fob may have somehow broke so I fetched the spare and...

Hi all, I currently have a problem with my PDC whereby when I put my car in reverse rather than the distance display, I get a long beep and the light flashes. This happens about 95% of the time and it works as normal about 5% of the time. I have front and rear sensors and graphical display...

So here's the story, I pulled up in a children's bay at tesco car park (yes I did have my daughter with me). I wasn't. Quite straight so I needed to straighten up. I had a good look around, no cars moving. I backup slowly and stop my car. It's about half in, half out of the space. I'm...

Hi all, I'd appreciate it if you cleaver people could have a listen to this video of my A4 and tell me what you think it might be. The car is a 3.0 tdi quattro on an 09 plate with 34k miles. This has been happening over the last 2 weeks and can only be heard at slow speeds when turning left...

So I got married yesterday. We had a fairly low budget bash so I decided to transform my car into the wedding car to take my partner to the ceremony Think it looks pretty sweet!

Hi all, Does anyone know the smallest wheels available that will fit on my A4 3.0 tdi? I know caliper clearance will be an issue. I'm not sure if the 3.0 tdi shares it's brakes with any other B8 models but I'm sure I've seen people with 16" steels on. The reason for this is because I'm...

Hi all, I am posting this audio question on here because its a fairly urgent request and I know replies can take a while on the ICE section. My Concert 2 stereo is knackered and basic. Only plays basic CDs and the volume control is knackered. I have a Sony GT710 stereo lying around with Ipod...
