Hi Guys
Recently let my A3 go after 6 years of ownership and many miles done it sadly died... I decided to upgrade and get the A4 2.0TDI B8.K Black edition.. love it. Even tho it cost me 45quid for a new indicator on the wing mirror (needed it quickly at the time). Ive had it for about 6 months now with no issues.
5 Days ago I got to work and through the gates, stop start came on.. then would not start. I did the usual unlock/lock, tried to start to no avail. Lad from work pushed my up to the car park. 30 minutes later it started, thought it may have just been having a moment. Left for home 12 hours later, no issues, used 2 further days no issues. Yesterday I stalled it at the petrol garage, would not start again same problem. When I push the fob/key in it just makes a click and does not fire what so ever not even an attempt, engine light just sat there laughing at me. I went for a walk came back and it started, got it home and called the RAC just as a last resort as now in blind panic mode. They came looked over it and said the battery isn't charging correctly and it appears faulty, checked it over and not the correct battery and not coded. Brilliant maybe that will be sorted, they arrived today and fitted a new one.. it worked brilliant, paid the guy and he left.
30 minutes later feeling quite happy went to get some beers for the evening, would not start. Called them back low and behold they have not ******* idea and it will need taking to main dealer. He suspects that because of the **** battery that is in it has caused electrical issues with the immo, it does not seem to be registering the fob and I only have the one.
Any help before I take it to the dealership and burn a massive ******* hole in my credit card.
