    Seats swap help (B102715 seat occupant sensor)

    Thanks for the response Nhn! How would one disable belt sensor in airbag module? I have OBDEleven (pro) and almost any thing which I try in 15-Airbags returns "(31) Function not available". My workaround for this problem (if I cannot disable the belt sensor myself) is a bit hacky, but seems...

    Seats swap help (B102715 seat occupant sensor)

    Hi everyone, After almost 4 years of owning my A3 I finally decided to swap my basic seats with some sport seats. My car is RHD (I am not from the UK) and I seem to have bought LHD seats. Upon plugging everything and tightening the seats, I got the B102715 error code (Front passenger seat...

    DPF: Reading ash loading level @140,000 mi

    Means you/your mechanic should do DPF ash reading - quite an easy thing to do with VCDS/OBDEleven. I think these filters hold up to 70g of ash (can be checked with the same diagnostic tool).

    OBDEleven - Air Conditioning Adaptation

    So, lately I have been playing with OBDEleven a lot and the following caught my eye. Inside 08-Air Conditioning module, under Adaptation I found the following option - After-run of parking heater or parking ventilation and it was disabled so I enabled it. I have no clue to what it does...

    Facelift 1.6 TDI DMF failure - anyone else? Need advice.

    I went over their heads and contacted Audi Deutschland directly from my corporate Daimler email. They caved in because they saw the Daimler thing and they don't want the competition to hear things. :D Anyway, a quick update in case anyone ever encounters similar problem. I have noticed that I...

    Facelift 1.6 TDI DMF failure - anyone else? Need advice.

    So about a month ago, my 85kW 1.6 TDI with 29k miles started producing horrible knocking noises until clutch is pressed. Once you press the clutch, the sound would go away. Dealership diagnosed it as a failing DMF, they replaced DMF and I was happy all until today... the horrible noise is back...

    2019 - xenon headlights

    I'm paying ADAC about 40 Euro per year plus Audi Assist and I think that's more than enough. When Audi Assist terminates, ADAC is the way to go for me for cases like this. They would tow the car to the nearest Audi dealership where the bulb will be replaced under warranty from what I understand...

    2019 - xenon headlights

    I believe they are D3S and I doubt you'll need spares. Genuine ones are extremely expensive. Edit: Lol, I feel like I copy pasted the post above as it was written during the time I was writing mine. :D

    Tyre opinions....

    I still swear by Continental TS860 for winter conditions. I've been driving through Austria and Germany these days where the snow surprised Austrian road services during the night and they gripped amazingly well in very poor driving conditions.

    Silica Bag - Coolant MQB Engines

    I'd rather risk it bursting than risk aluminium parts of the cooling system rusting because silica from coolant has been used up without me knowing it.

    Map Reading Light Bulbs

    Incredibly easy to do, 5mins work tops. Also, interior bulbs do not need to be Canbus.

    Facelift Headlight Failure

    They should be because I think FL has only 1 type of xenon headlights unlike PFL which had 2 I believe.

    Heated Seats?

    Heated seats are a bliss to have. There are no heating elements in seats in cars without heated seats option.

    Carista App Now Avaliable For the 8V A3/S3 - PFL & FL Covered

    I think they mean that if you have self-parking feature in your car that it can be done. From useful mods on FL, the ones that I found out to be working are: * Mirror dip in reverse (if you don't have factory option) * Oil temperature gauge * Comfort indicator number of blinks * Start/stop...

    LED headlight bulbs - upgradeable ??

    Maybe he has PFL with LED headlights (non-matrix) and those are kinda weak.
