So recently the tailgate on my 2012 Q5 has stopped opening fully. It opens up about a 1/4 of the way then stops. I have to push the tailgate fully open then when I press the close button it will fully close and lock as you would expect. It occasionally does open fully but its getting more...
I have noticed that on both front wheel arches of my A4 Avant S-Line there is 'bubbling' under the paintwork that if not treated soon will blister and flake away. I'm surprised at this to be honest and wondered if Audi have some sort of bodywork warranty that I might be able to get this sorted...
I changed the battery on my A4 B8 S-Line last year, I put in a Varta Silver H3 heavy duty car battery 100AH size 017 (5 Year Warranty) which i bought of ebay for £84.15. I simply swapped out the old and put the new one in - i don't have vag-com and everything worked fine for me and still is.
I do know there was a VW golf in the garage the same day having the same sensor fitted, i did wonder if they have got them the wrong way round? Would that code (fitted to mine) fit a VW Golf?
I do wonder how I am going to tackle the issue of the first garage paying the bill of the second one...
OK so the saga continues!
The engine emission light came back on again within a day so I took it to another garage and have been informed that the pressure sensor that has been fitted to my car has a code of 076906051B - aparantly the correct code that should be fitted to my car is 059906051A.
I...
update, so the engine emission light came back on the dash again this morning! Been told by garage my only option now is taking it to Audi as the garage don't know what else to do. They suspect it may be a software issue that will need Audi to do.
My issue with this is will I lose the remap that...
so the garage have had my car for 2 days and have been onto 'their' technical help team who have advised different methods of clearing the ecu memory as they are not convinced that solely using vagcom has been clearing the error code from the ecu memory.
Anyway it has been left with me taking it...
So my car was back at the garage on friday, the error code that came up was the sensor again (this was replaced 2 days before). They cleared the error code and sent me on my way. The engine emissions light came back on yesterday! Car back at the garage today. They seem to be at a loss as to what...
I heard today from a garage that it is possible to reset the ECU by a combination of turning the ignition on and off 5 times (or something like that), this enables the ECU to 'forget' and clear any faults that have been cleared suing vagcom.
Anyone else heard of this method?
Well as I suspected when i left work tonight the engine emission light was back on the dash! Gutted.
I've rang the garage i had the work done at and they have suggested i take it in the morning and they will run the vagcom on it and see what codes come up. I fear they are just going to suggest...
So the last week I have had problems with my 2.0 TDi S-Line, mainly the yellow emissions light on the dash. I dreaded the DPF saga but took the car in to a local non audi garage who I have used for years. Firstly they cleared the code and ran a forced regen and sent me off to see how i got on. 2...
What code reader would you recommend if i just wanted to clear all error logs and see what the error codes are?
Are the generic ones on ebay good enough for that?
i.e...
