My A3 went into limp home mode on the journey back home tonight. EPC light on, power very limited, coolant temp on min and electric fans on full. I keep a Carista dongle in the car, so I scanned it when I got home and it returned four errors: P00B7 - Engine Coolant Flow Low/Performance P0116 -...

I posted the other day that my A3 has thrown up a ESC/ABS warning and disabled things like Hill Hold and Stop/Start. I can't get it to Audi just at the moment, so I thought I'd point Carista at it and see if it revealed anything. It has located 13 errors: All-Wheel Drive System: 16656 Cylinder...

Stopped at services for a break whilst driving down the M1 last night. When I restarted the car, it warned that ESP/ABS were offline, then a host of other things went offline also (Hill Hold, Stop/Start etc) but all disappeared after a couple of minutes. However, I then had two or three further...

I have a 2014 Sportback Sport with no roofbars. Does anyone have a recommendation for a bike rack that's suitable to carry one or preferably two bikes? The car has a large plastic tailgate spoiler, so a lot of racks that secure with straps to the top if the hatch would not be suitable due to the...

How much is a replacement standard keyfob including cutting and coding these days? I seem to have put my spare in a safe place. A very, very safe place.

I'm beginning to think the car park at work is haunted or something... After experiencing my fuel pressure switch ejecting itself from the fuel rail last month, today I get back in to drive home and the dashboard lights up with multiple warnings and beeps, from memory: Suspension System Fault...

Well, that was “fun”. Drove into work without issue. Went to drive home and the car started and then stopped. Started it again, it stopped again. Massive smell of fuel. Popped the bonnet, fuel pooled in the wells of the inlet manifold. Popped off the cover and found the pressure switch in the...

I don't do very many miles in my 2014 A3 1.8 TFSi quattro, just done about 21K miles in five and a half years. As such, I'm still on my original tyres, which were manufactured in November 2013. They're Continental ContiSport Contact 5s in 225/45R17. Although they have about 4mm tread left on...

One of my bonnet switches is open circuit, so the bonnet is always showing as open. Anyone have any advice? Can the bonnet catch and switch assembly be removed easily or is it a bumper off job? Took me about twenty minutes of driving with a big picture of a car with a red bonnet where my speedo...

My car (new March 2014) was last serviced in November 2016. I probably only do around 5000 miles a year, so what sort of time should I expect to elapse before it next tells me that it's due a service?

Anyone with the workshop disc able to pop up a diagram of the driver's door or at least answer a question for me? I had my door card off yesterday to fix a rattle and found a screw loose. I'd love to know what it is. It's a silver T25 behind the upper rear corner of the door card, near the door...

My driver's door has developed an annoying rattle / buzz on certain road surfaces. If I put pressure on the brushed alloy trim strip it stops. Anyone experienced this and has an easy fix?

For reasons best known to themselves and entirely out of the blue, Audi just sent me a voucher for £100 which I can use on any product or service until the end of March. Now, I've already pre-paid for my servicing and it was only just serviced anyway, so what suggestions do you have for...

After seeing the product disappearing from Einszett's website and prices going up to over £130 on eBay, it looks like it's back on the market. Can't recommend this stuff highly enough for keeping your door seals in good order and stopping the horrible squeaks and rattles that can occur...

This was posted out by the guy who wrote the bliss application earlier. Some useful info about how to remove OSX system files which might be creating problems with the MMI player. http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2015/05/05/dot_underscore_music_files/

Now that the weather has finally started to turn cold, I'm SO glad I specified heated seats! I had them on a previous car, but they were just bum warmers only - wasn't prepared for the back to be warmed too in the Audi! It made a trip up to my folks in wild and windy Yorkshire a very warm and...

I've noticed a few times that I've found errors (skips in tracks etc) when playing files off the SD card. Recopying the files cures, but obviously you have no confidence that there aren't more. I know others have had this problem. I'd like to recommend a useful program called ExactFile -...

Dunno if it's the hot weather, but my car has recently been sounding like the subframe wasn't attached when going over bumps etc. Googled a bit and found this stuff that you apply to the door seal rubbers. One application has transformed the car. einszett gummi pflege / rubber care stick -...

Is there any difference purely in engine and DSG response between having Drive Select in Dynamic and having it in Auto with the stick knocked back into S mode?

Was washing and waxing my still miraculously un-kerbed alloys yesterday and noticed a small stone-chip in one of them which I would like to attend to sooner rather than later. What's the best thing to use? They're silver painted alloys (the 17" 5-arm 'Kinetic' ones). Do Audi do a touch-up pen or...
