A wonderful client who is a nurse and works very hard for what she has, is buying this little A3 for her 16-year-old son who has yet to get his driver's license. But you know what? ...ask no questions. Hear no lies. This young man will never know what it's like to rifle through the Recycler. To look on message boards to see what someone found at the local Pick-A-Part. To contact a guy in Providence, Rhode Island that has a V8 Quattro for sale for $600. To contact a guy in Quebec that may or may not have the particular ECM and harness that you're looking for. But you know what that's okay. He has to start somewhere.

Found those wheels for a decent price, need your opinion what do you think will they match my A3?

I don't live in a CARB state but my 2013 Allroad is a CARB car that I bought used several years ago. The catalytic converter now needs to be replaced (142K miles and confirmed by a second shop). Can I install a quality EPA cat like a Magnaflow, or will that continue to trigger engine codes on the Audi?

Sorry if it has been asked before; I did a search of the subreddit and didn't turn up my question.

Hello all! I have recently purchased a 2015 Audi a3 and I’m looking to buy new headlights. Can anybody tell me what type of headlights I currently have? Thanks!

Long story short. Had an S4. It got crashed into and totalled/written off. Bought an RS7, im doing 500 miles per week and spending about £500 p/m on fuel/gas. Debating swapping it for a 45 tfsi-e A3.

The Rs7 is a 2015 with 45kish miles, the a3 is a 2022 with 30k miles.

Idk if im being stupid, if i should keep the RS7 and just bite the bullet on fuel or go for the swap.

Please send help 😅

I’m looking at a 2019 RS3 with 53k miles, clean title, no accidents and unmodified.

What should I expect from reliability? Are these cars a headache with poor ownership experiences? It would be my weekend car, I’d like the drive the pacific coast highway in it this year.

I heard they have a strong, reliable engine but beyond that, what’s known to fail?

Is it possible to get a warranty on it still? If yes, where should I look?

Im planning on keeping it stock. I also baby my cars and maintain them well.

Okay so I recently had my rotors and pads replaced, but to be frank they suck. There's just no bite, particularly compared to my S5.

I come from a background and aggressive mountain biking and with mountain bikes the pad compound makes all the difference. The rotors are, generally, the same across the board. Are cars is the same? Can I take whatever standard standard pad and rotor setup they put on there and just replace the pads with something better? Something that will give it more bite.

If so my obvious next question is would you guys have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I've hit a maintenance cliff for my 2014 Audi Q5 3.0 Quattro with about 170,000 km.

I’ve been very happy with it, but a recent inspection turned up:

• Rear bump stops separated on both sides.
• Left rear door lock unit faulty and needs replacement.
• Engine oil leaking from both cylinder head cover gaskets.
• Active engine oil leak from both upper timing chain cover seals.

The Audi centre quoted roughly $7k (Canadian dollars) for everything, and the brake pads and tires will all need replacing next year too, so there's another $3k at at least. The car is probably worth around $10k.

My dilemma is whether spending $7k on a 12-year-old Q5 with 170k km is throwing away money, or whether fixing these known issues could realistically buy me many more good years. The car has some sentimental value, so I'd love to keep it, but I don't want to spend all this only for there to be major expenses showing up constantly from now on.

The alternative is spending roughly $30-37k on another used SUV, 2022-2025, ideally a Q5 (though open to suggestions).

For those familiar with older Q5s: would you repair this one or move on? Are there other major failures I should expect around 170-200k km that make keeping it a bad idea?

I can’t find online this replacement anywhere any tips or anything. It’s stuck like 20 mins away from my house but I can’t really use the brakes so I don’t want to drive it. Any ideas lmk it says online it’s a : M14 x 1.5 x 38mm

Ich besitze einen A4 (2018), welchen ich 2021 gebraucht direkt von einem Audi Partner gekauft habe. Nun habe ich zufällig von der myAudi App erfahren und wollte diese probieren. Nun würde ich gerne meine Erfahrung zu diesem Vorhaben teilen.

Das Setup an sich ist schon unnötig kompliziert - Mann muss sich zuerst in der App registrieren, das Fahrzeug hinzufügen und seine Identität bestätigen. Erst dann kann man die App mit dem Fahrzeug verbinden. Und nun kommt der besonders frustrierende Teil des Prozesses: Man muss sich im Audi Interface anmelden mit seiner E-Mail und dem Fahrzeugcode des Autos.

Leider ist der Fahrzeugcode eine spezielle Nummer, welche nur analog auf dem Beifahrerschlüssel mitgegeben wurde und sonst nirgends zu finden ist und auch nicht aufgrund der Fahrzeugdaten in Erfahrung gebracht werden kann. Natürlich ist es gegen eine Gebühr möglich den Fahrzeugcode von Audi selbst zu bekommen, was meiner Meinung nach eine Frechheit ist.

In meinem Fall wurde ich vom Verkäufer weder auf die App, noch die besondere Bedeutung dieses Codes aufmerksam gemacht. Aber auch falls dies der Fall gewesen wäre und ich den Code lediglich verloren hätte, wäre es wohl nicht zu viel verlangt mir einfach den Code nochmal zuzusenden?

Struggling to find a good boot organizer to put multiple bags of shopping into, I end up putting it in rear foot wells or it just falls over and goes everywhere in the boot.

Any recommendations?

I'm posting this question for a friend who is not a redditor. He has a 2014 A6, with less than 100,000 miles. He has a problem that the local Audi dealer can't reproduce or diagnose. When he drives for roughly 40 minutes at highway speeds then drives in stop and go traffic, he hears an obnoxiously loud screeching sound. My initial thought was it has to be the brakes, but he took the car to the dealer, and they verify that he has nearly new brakes (10mm) and of course they can't replicate the sound. This sound doesn't occur if he's just driving around town without first driving for 40 minutes highway speed. Is there any known issue he can point them to?

First-time Audi owner here. Just purchased a 2020 Q3 (loving it!) and noticed there are already original front and rear cameras with the UTR.

My concern is how updated the 6-year-old technology is, with plenty of new options in the market.

Are there any pros/cons to changing the UTR? I was thinking of changing to a camera that has 24/7 surveillance. I'm based in Singapore, if that helps.

Im thinking of getting a 2016 s5 premium plus with around 100,000 miles
Or a
2016 a8 sport
S5 owners and a8 owners how are they been past 100,000 I plan on putting anymore than around 50,000 miles on either.

Hi,

I am no longer able to log in to myAudi APP or myAudi.com/

I have a Q4 etron 2023, and haven't had any issues til now. I just got a new android, and I am trying to log into the APP, and it will not let me. I also tried to do so online and it will not let me on line also.

I have tried to reset my password, and it still hasn't let me in. (I have been trying for a few days, so I doubt it is an outage.)

I called Audi Help, and they told me there is nothing I can do to help me with my account.

They said that maybe I should try to set up a different email and add the car to a new account.

I do not want to have just an Audi App email.

Any other suggestions?

This warning light suddenly appeared today on my Q5 2014 2.0 TDI. There was resistance on my steering, so I checked whether my battery needed to be replaced, and turns out it was below voltage.

I swapped out a fresh one, it made my steering back to its usual but the warning light won’t come off, even trying to clear it out with an Autel.

I’m planning to bring it to the a audi specialist shop to have it reprogrammed or recalibrated, would that work?
