Quick update it seems that faulty injectors were the cause of my troubles. Injectors replaced, carbon clean and a new fuel pressure sensor and all seems well again.
Not a cheap fix but it feels like new car day getting the car back after an extended period in the garage.

Re: Issue starting and emission control system warning light
So it seems my issue persists and frustratingly it is very intermittent and fault won’t show when back at my indie. After the issues with starting I had a few problems with stalling or revs dropping at low speeds / approaching a junction. This accompanied with a hunting idle and fuel trims outside s...

Re: Idling rough - MAF sensor ?
Did you have any luck with this? I have been having an intermittent issue which started with similar symptoms to those you describe.
Unfortunately I am still trying to get to the route cause of this.

Re: Mirror Dip
So having got my hands on an obd11 I have now activated this feature on the car. Makes such a difference when reverse parking, just wished I sorted it out earlier.

Re: Issue starting and emission control system warning light
So it turns out the issue was split diaphragms in the PCV valves. Have had these replaced by my local specialist (Renn Automotive in Iver - great as always!) and car is back up and running.
The codes it seems were a bit of a red herring but thankfully Luke and team got to the bottom of it.

Re: Issue starting and emission control system warning light
Thanks for the reply. So i got hold of an OBDeleven which arrived today and shows the following faults.
P119A00 - fuel pressure sensor malfunction
P017400 and P017100 bank 2&1 system too lean
Trying to get booked into my indie but any ideas on possible issues and fixes?

Re: Issue starting and emission control system warning light
Thanks and good shout, I was just on Amazon browsing. The obd11 seems the best option any experience on these and any benefit / drawback of the different versions?

Re: Mirror Dip
Thanks for the tips. Having followed the guidance it is not working so I assume this is either not enabled or simply not working. Can anyone with wingbacks confirm if this feature works on their cars? Doing some reading there is a lot of reference to it working in conjunction with the electric memor...

Re: Mirror Dip
Thanks, I’m based in Berkshire. If not I’ll see if I can get hold of the obd11 kit. Seems like it could be a good investment

Re: Mirror Dip
Thanks for the replies I got to Natels having tried to set while in reverse doesn’t seem to work with the mirror just remaining in the dipped position.
Is the OBD option cheap and easy to use or am I better finding a specialist who can take a look?

Mirror Dip
I have a 2015 RS4 with wingbacks and wanted to know if there is a way I can get the mirror to dip when reversing. I have had this on all previous cars but I can’t seem to find anyway to get this to work on the RS4? I have read this is an option with the memory seats which I don’t have but I’m a litt...
