    Audi Q5 2018 disable start stop

    On my UK Spec 2014 A8 I was able to do a couple of things to the Stop/Start function. Firstly I set it to remember the last set position so it wouldn't default to Active every time I turned on the ignition! Secondly I reversed the operation of the LED as it made more sense to me to be...

    Record & compare pre->post coding?

    Thanks for the reply Zenerdiode. I'll give that a go and see what it returns. I don't have the dongle yet but TPMS Hi has worked itself to the top of my Wish List so it's not a case of if more a case of when! :) I'll bear the possible 'Mission Impossible' self-destruct mode in mind as that...

    Record & compare pre->post coding?

    Well I seem to have stirred things up here then! 😉 Thanks for the replies as always guys. @Fredrick Awuor I still plan to do a full read of all modules whether I end up purchasing the TPMS Hi kit or not as a point of reference. I have kept all of my logs and if I make any changes I even go to...

    Record & compare pre->post coding?

    Hi there, I'm probably going to be embarrassed at asking this question but here goes anyway; Is there a 'best' way to record pre & post scans to compare the difference between the two please? Example; I would like to retrofit TPMS Hi to my 2014 Audi A8L and it comes with a dongle that does...

    Audi A8 D4 Ad Blue contents?

    Just circling back to close this thread off (hopefully) as I've done absolutely nothing and the fault has gone! Plan with less than 400 miles left to restart with the AdBlue system fault showing was to purchase the usual 10 litre container from the usual place, siphon/pump 10 litres of the...

    Audi A8 D4 Ad Blue contents?

    Appreciate the reply again...thanks. Well I have a pocket refrac kicking around somewhere as well as a digital refractometer used for checking the brix of sugar-based postmix beverage systems if that would work or would it have to be a different instrument as I don't think the active ingredient...

    Audi A8 D4 Ad Blue contents?

    Appreciate the replies...thanks guys. Story has taken a turn for the worse unfortunately. I searched for the AdBlue tank capacity and depending who I believe it was anywhere between 17-27 litres for my UK spec, 2014 A8L 4.2TDi Facelift. Searching through the Audi manual for my model year...

    Audi A8 D4 Ad Blue contents?

    Hi there, I have a 2014 A8L 4.2 TDi Facelift UK spec and was wondering if VCDS has a way of showing the contents of the Ad Blue tank in either litres or % full/empty? The Ad Blue warning in the DIS comes on at 1500 miles left and changes every 100 miles until it reaches 600 miles when the...

    Best way to get full dump of all adaptations and coding?

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread but when I searched 'VCDS snapshot of all modules' I ended up here! Like Julian I have an A8 D4 although mine is an earlier 2014 facelift and has almost every option on it and I was looking for a way to keep a complete master log/backup/record of all of the...

    D4 Audi A8 VCDS Codes

    Yup...it's the same car Uwe. Seems odd that I can alter stepdown timers for seat heating (along with things like pressures in various seat bolsters) and even steering wheel temperature but not seat temperature. Ah well I'll have to put up with sunburn on level 3 and wondering whether the heat...

    Using VCDS on Multiple Computers?

    Great...thank you Uwe. As I said I have never updated since I purchased it way back in 2008 from Ilexa so its way overdue. I don't ever recall VCDS prompting me to update it so I'll go into Options/Config and take a look. I'm struggling with my new HEX-NET but I'll have a read up on things...

    Using VCDS on Multiple Computers?

    I have a few related questions...well sort of. ;) I recently purchased a HEX-NET to replace my HEX-USB+CAN but I would like to know; 1. Are there any firmware updates available for the HEX-USB+CAN as part of the process for setting up my new HEX-NET was to update the firmware from the Config...

    Audi A8 D4/4H Lap Timer

    Now I tried this exercise in my pre-facelift 2011 4.2TDi some months ago and was just left with a dummy entry for Lap Timer in the menu scroll and when you pressed the OK button nothing would happen. The Lap Timer entry just stayed static in the list. Tried this in my facelift 2014 TDi and it...

    2014 Audi A8L 4.2TDi UK - rear sun shade issue?

    Small issue I know but would be good to get it working properly. The rear sun shade cannot be operated from either button in the rear of the car. The adjacent button can tilt & shut the sunroof with no issue but no operation of rear blind. The rear blind however can be operated from the front...
