You're not alone. My 2015 3.0 A8L does this every time the temperatures reach and sustain over 95 degrees. I thought it was an ACC sensor issue - and I pulled the same codes as you in VCDS. What...

I'd think twice before being done with Audi. Maybe the CS sucks, but you won't find better cars for your money. Turbo failures happen across the entire range of German cars - usually oiling issues...

Not that I'm anything around here - but like you I have extensive retrofitting experience, but on BMW. There isn't an OEM feature I can't install/wire/code with NCSExpert/WinKFP or E-Sys. In the Audi...

I had a ton of shifting issues with my 2015 3.0. I was convinced the transmission was going out - it would shudder, search like crazy between 1-2-3 and generally felt as if it was on the way out.

I have this exact wood in my 2015 - I love it. After years of driving German cars with glossy, easy to scratch and quick to glare wood - this is a very appreciated change of pace. I don't have to...

It's fair for me to update this thread by adding that just after 10,000 miles an Exhaust Gas Temperature sensor died. I got a service engine light and pulled out code P0544 and P2080 - both pointing...

Finally got my hands on VCDS

I don't why I hesitated so long to buy this from Ross-Tech. Perhaps it's because I coded BMW's for several years using NCSExpert and E-Sys - and the thought of having to relearn a whole new format...

I have put 10K miles on mine and kind of wish I had done at least a clear bra. The front bumper looks like the moon when you examine closely because of all the road debris. If you live near the sand,...

Best place for Audi Parts? (Aside form dealer)

Sorry to ask what is probably a reoccurring question - but I searched this forum and nothing popped out at me.

What would you guys consider to be the go-to site for Audi parts?

The other day...

I second what jakematic suggested. While I myself have not yet purchased VCDS, I plan to soon. With BMW I was coding and retrofitting for years so I know how useful it is to have dealer-esque tools...

That's actually a good review.

I spend a lot of time traveling - and in hotels after work sometimes I have nothing better to do than google reviews about my car (hopeless, I know).

Thank you for the reply jakematic.

Initially I also only noticed the noise/movement coming from the passenger side, but it did start on my seat during my last long drive. I'm happy to hear that...

Seats moving autonomously, MMI spontaneously resetting

Still loving the car - but noticed on my last drive from Los Angeles to Seattle that the driver and passenger seats both make very minor, almost difficult to detect adjustments completely on their...

Absolutely loving the TDI

I just made my first payment and have already exceeded 7,000 miles in this car. I left the morning of the 21st from Orlando, Florida and arrived in Los Angeles the evening of the 22nd. Not one issue...

There are so many motors in the interior of this car, hunting the sound down could be a bit of a task. My initial thought is that it sounds like a blend-door motor in the HVAC system. Do you have...

Not to bring up another brand, but have you looked into the new S550? I hope to get one as soon as I'm done with the A8. Just want to wait a few model years to get the kinks worked out.

Glad to hear you got this resolved. Due to this post I've been extra observant when I unlock my car in the garage. I've noticed that the LED headlights have fans in them, and I was curious if this is...

As far as the matrix headlights are concerned - I'm sure they are stunning but the new implementation of the DRL strip seems bland to me. I love the almost sinister, floating look in my LED housings...

Ordered and installed the OEM LED housings. No errors, and looks clean. I honestly still think the cheap eBay bulbs are still a very viable option for those that wish to go this route - the OEM's are...

Is the noise you guys are referring to like a subtle humming sound coming from the tires when you're driving?

I thought maybe my tires were overinflated and intended to check pressure, but perhaps...
