    Start/stop system fault

    Ok So I have the same problem. I don’t think it’s your battery. I believe it will possible be the start button. if you press the start button down hard when you start the engine it shouldn’t show an error.

    DPF regeneration

    Thanks for joining me on this one. Thought I was going crazy. Don’t know about yours but I notice the engine much quieter and seems more responsive and less snatchy in slow traffic too. The usual injector pinging noise goes away too. My mechanic suggested it’s the EGT sensors at fault but I’m...

    Just about had it with the A7, metal tinkling noise

    Any direct injection diesel will make this noise. It’s the high pressures the injectors work at. You won’t hear it on a petrol engine. The dealer may not ****** the timing because they will say it’s normal but worth a try. If not a remap specialist could probably do it.

    Just about had it with the A7, metal tinkling noise

    Going from a 3.0tdi to a 2.0tdi you will definitely notice a big difference. Also the 2.0tdi will eventually ping probably worse than your A7. You should definitely get in the habit of higher octane fuel. It’s more expensive but does help. The higher cetane/octane will allow the combustion to...

    Just about had it with the A7, metal tinkling noise

    It certainly wouldn’t hurt to try. Audi engines always sound a little rough it’s just the way they are. But I would certainly try a higher octane fuel. Even better would be to buy cetane booster in pure form from amazon etc. You add this to the fuel and seriously increases the octane rating...

    Just about had it with the A7, metal tinkling noise

    Second solution....... The tinkling sound you are hearing is probably rebounding off walls and cars right ?. If it’s this then it’s your injectors. Not too much you can do about this as I’ve had new injectors and it still tinkles at low rpms. I didn’t ask if it’s diesel or not ?. But I’m...

    Just about had it with the A7, metal tinkling noise

    Hi Buddy You’ve just answered your own question... Air con ..!! That’s what’s causing the tinkling sound. You mentioned that the AC is making a strange noise. Would this noise sound like a vacuum cleaner noise when switched on and reviving?. Try this....... When your driving the car select...

    Hi Guys So I have the 3.0tdi CDUC engine No fault codes However Exhaust temp sensor 2 is always at 220c with 0mv voltage Even when completely cold the temp is the same at 220c. The other 3 sensors work fine and are constantly changing but sensor seems stuck. Is this normal?.

    Noise on low rpm driving me crazy. Anyone can help??.

    Car isn’t showing a single error on VCDS. Service history has been very good always done on time at Audi including when the chains and tensioners were replaced. The problem occurred before this though. I’ll try and send a video clip with the noise. When driving today the second I take my foot...

    Noise on low rpm driving me crazy. Anyone can help??.

    Thanks for replying RAF It’s been checked through VCDS and Car is as clean as a whistle not a single fault. The annoying part is it won’t make the noise when idling and only seems to do it under load. I have two mechanics say two different things. One says it’s starving of air and the other...

    Noise on low rpm driving me crazy. Anyone can help??.

    Hi Guys I’m driving an Audi A7 2012 3.0tdi Quattro 245cv. I have this diésel like ticking noise when accelerating slowly. It increases with the rpm and may be present at higher revs but road noise makes it’s quiet. I recently had all chains etc done so chain rattle is completely ruled out. The...
